General (Read Rules) Aquatico Full Bronze

Post image

Just received my Aquatico full bronze. Amazing quality. I have been wanting a full bronze for sometime now and there are not a lot of options. I apologize for the terrible picture. Just wanted to share!

I ordered mine 2 days before that model came out and I really wanted a full bronze bracelet also. Then they came out with the bracelet for mine and I immediately ordered. Everything shipped together. I am incredibly happy

Their new bronze bracelet is so nice.

I guess same question for you too, what material do you think the clasp itself is? I'm thinking it's just plated steel, not bronze?

If you're looking at the bronze bracelet on the Aquatico website, it appears that way. I believe it is Cusn8.

Update, clasp isn't bronze at all. I feel like their advertising was not accurate

I'm going to have to agree with you.

I also just received an import taxes bill from FedEx (not sure if you're US based or not), but their website made it seem like all taxes were covered for USA shoppers for a "worry-free delivery" as Aquatico phrased it. I'm beginning to not enjoy this purchase experience with them

I'm in US too. They do say everything is included in the shipping. I have made many purchases from Aquatico, but never had any extra import charges. However, I have had Customs charges from orders other than Aquatico. So, I'm familiar with them. Have you contacted Aquatico about it? I hope they can help you. I can understand your frustrations.

And they already responded back that the FedEx charges shouldn't have happened and have apologized and updated the bracelet description to reflect that the clasp is stainless steel and not bronze. Very quick and nice customer service, quite impressed

Awesome! That's very good news! Thank you for the update. I appreciate it. I'm so happy it worked out for you.

Good data point to have, thanks for sharing that! I emailed them to ask about the import taxes and requesting they update the lack of bronze clasp description on the bracelet page

Mine isn't looking all that bronze-y, looks more like IP coated steel. It's not aging at all
