A great alternative to Skagen
The packaged arrived all safe and well on the day stated for delivery.Years ago I had rectangular Skagen watches (and still do) however they seem to have shunned the rectangular shape over the years I even had the Skagen sub brand Grenen (now unavailable) a small rectangular watch that to date is one of my favourites. The Bering ticked the boxes for a new bigger watch than my Grenen and it looks great.This is a beautiful looking watch, very slim once on the wrist with the band easily adjusted with a small flat blade screwdriver. On arrival it was dead but after a short while indoors with the light on it started to tick every 2 seconds to signal low battery. After an hour or two in the kitchen with the light on normal ticking started.It is a slim watch that is easy to read, the second hand is very slim so should not be confused with the minute hand as can be done with some other watches I have. A dark face with silver numbers and hands works well with the sculptured inner face. The small date window to me is legible as well. Hands and numbers have some lume but like others in this style can fade after time and will be dark over night.Some aspects of this Bering watch are very similar to Skagen, the are very slim and even look to share a similar band mounting system with the band held in place by 4 small screws.Although I have a few slim rectangular and round Skagen watches the Bering brings back the simple rectangular shape, yes the date window is small and the band is non standard fitting but with its understated looks and design, The sapphire glass should make this an item on the new watch considerations list. The solar power is the icing on the cake.Highly recommended alternative to Skagen.

Excellent technology if you are able to use it
Overall I am very pleased with this timepiece. The concept of a solar watch is brilliant. They have even provided glass packaging that can be reused. In use it is an excellent clear analogue watch that is moulded to your wrist for comfort and keeps accurate time. ONE solar charge will give about 30 hours of use (In winter) so not suitable for daily use all year round. I keep the watch on the window sill to charge - would be good if BERING added a charging post to help with this.

Unique watch to add to my collection
I've been looking for a Solar powered movement for a while now.After wearing it for the first time, I think I've made the right decision to choose this model.It works as a daily wear and will not be out of place for special occasions too.This piece came adequately charged with the time also set correctly which means the watch is good to go straight our of the box.

Nice watch
I bought it for £85 on prime day and reckon I got a bargain. It looks great, keeps good time and never needs winding. I’m well pleased with it

High quality watch that has a slimline profile.
The watch and its strap exude quality. The tiny date window may be a bit small for some but, for me it doesn't overbear the uncluttered face. Remember that it does need an initial full charge of a day's sunlight.

Expected more…
Nice sleek design which sits quite well, even on more slender wrists.One gripe is the second hand doesn’t match up with the numbers properly and is about 1/2 a step out of sync. Considering Bering pride themselves on affordable, quality craftsmanship, I’d have expected better…. The date also doesn’t seem to step but rather sweep continuously which will likely become irritating but realistically I doubt I’ll be donning this watch much…
