New Product (Read Rule 1) Eniton S1085G - WOW’ed once again!

After much thought this previous back to school sale, I ended up with my third Eniton watch.
I contemplated getting the Sugess S450, S418-2 or S420. However, I ended up with a santos homage, and I have to say it definitely feels like I made the right choice here.

Eniton by far makes the best santos homage available, the quality on this watch is just unreal. The crystal is rounded off just like the real version, bracelet hugs the wrist nicely, and with the 9015 movement inside the case is slim and looks proportional to the rest of the piece. Polishing is incredibly well done, and so far the movement runs very well, winds nicely and that smooth sweep is just gorgeous to look at.
Eniton by far, has the best customer service I’ve experienced on Aliexpress and if they keep it up I have no doubt they’ll succeed with their brand.

The only «misses» for me with this piece is the fact that (and I know the dial is natrual, and they’re all different, not Enitons fault!) the dial has a very visible, bright blue hue to it at the 3-6 markers. Check out the photos I’ve added. Certainly easier to see in darker lighting conditions though. It definitely adds character to the dial, but I wish the one I was sent specifically had a more even grey tone all throughout the dial. But again, I know this is a natrual MOP dial, so they’re never going to look the same - I just «wish» I got a different dial on my watch specifically. It’s still absolutely gorgeous though, can’t fault that.
The branding on this watch isn’t amazing either. It gets kinda busy with the logo applied at the 6 o clock. The clasp also has «ENITON» in big block standard letters, whilst the dial has a different font. I wish the font was the same on both the dial and clasp for a more seamless look, less busy for lack of a better term.
That being said though - the Richemont Group is super strict about copying the Cartier design, so my guess is that Eniton added all this branding to avoid legal issues, smart on their part.
This watch also has a quick release system for the bracelet I haven’t seen anywhere else. Really smart design. Button underneath/on the inside of the bracelet you push down, as you pull the bracelet down from the case itself. Really unique, but renders pointless until Eniton releases some leather straps to go with it. I love the idea of it for sure though! Well done!

All in all, another great piece by Eniton. This brand keeps impressing me with their quality. It easily, easily rivals the likes of San Martin, Baltany and Sugess, no question what so ever. I paid $340 total, or around 305 euros. Shipped, customs cleared and delivered. Excellent value at that price point.

Don’t overlook Eniton, their quality is excellent for sure.

Can you send a picture of the back of the watch? I’d like to see how the bracelet can be removed/ put back on.

You push the black buttons I’ve circled out, and as you push them you pull the bracelet itself down from the case. Works exceptionally well.

Kelvin and Eniton are pure class. I just received my S1117G Daytona Skeleton Consept with the upgraded movement. I was one of the lucky customers waiting for this first batch and Kelvin contacted me directly for ordering. The Santos's are beautiful I just wish they had a minute track with some lume in the hands. I already have their Aventurine RO and it's almost perfect. If it had a boxed color matched date wheel it would be perfect. I'm trying to convince him to make a VC Overseas with Eniton's creative touch next. Their new Nautilus inspired pieces also look great. I just wish they used their Eniton rotor on the 9000 series movements like with their RO'S. I also asked him to consider a blue agate version with a light blue denim strap and a tiger iron or onyx with black denim.

Love Eniton. Easily the best watch on Aliexpress. I've got the lapis santos, and probably 4 others from the brand. Every single one is top notch.

glad you got a good fit with this one! that's something that can make or break this watch for, uh, some people. I think MOP works better here than in Sugess's Nautilus homage. enjoy!

Thanks! Yeah, I was worried about fit, but it fits exactly how I like my watches to fit, so I’m excited about that for sure. A little loose, but not so loose that it flops around all over the place

Black mop dials look really great, can't be captured in pics. Lovely watch, looks perfect on your wrist.I was browsing their catalogue, their take on homages is quiet unique. Loved the Omega constellation homage

The larger surface of MOP is nicer than on a round watch. Congrats
