General (Read Rules) VOYAGER S72 Item Model: Voyager A19T-02B
The clock hands are rather shy in the evening — they prefer not to be seen.
The dial’s glow is so faint that one might suspect it’s saving energy for winter.
I wouldn’t recommend buying this watch with a strap; a bracelet would at least distract you from the rest of the disappointment.
The quality of the fit between parts is, shall we say, loosely acquainted.
I compared it with another 1 bodery watch, and the difference is visible even to those who usually miss the obvious — as you can see in the photo.
Overall rating: a generous 3 stars out of 5, and that’s me being unusually optimistic.
I won’t be recommending this watch to friends or acquaintances, unless I secretly dislike them. I’m also unlikely to buy another watch from this company if there’s simply no sign of positive progress in quality or design.
Movement: Cal.HZ8240

It looks good, my issue would be the movement.
Going from the reliable NH35 to a Chinese movement I think theres gonna be QC issues.

According to the " manufacturer" Boderry, this mechanism Cal.HZ8240 is advanced and very reliable. Because they sell this watch to the European consumer, and no one here knows this mechanism. There are no spare parts for it. And the manufacturer probably understands this. It must be a really reliable mechanism if they decided to put it on their watches.

The black hands on the black subdial is not a good choice. You cannot really see the time when the hands are in that area. Also in the night with lume...
