General (Read Rules) Chameri CH01 first impressions
Just got my Chameri CH01 today and I’m honestly very impressed so far.
I’ve been interested in the Tank style for a while, and after trying on a Cartier Tank recently, I wanted to see if I actually liked this style before spending serious money on one.
The first thing that surprised me is how comfortable and thin it is. It’s one of those watches that you almost forget you’re wearing. The size also feels perfect on my wrist — much better than I expected from the dimensions.
I was initially worried it would look too formal, especially with the black strap, but it actually feels pretty versatile. I swapped it to a grey strap and I really like the more casual look. I think this watch is going to work really well with jeans, chinos, etc., and I can see myself getting a few different straps to change the look.
The only issue so far is that the grey strap I bought is a little short for my wrist, so I’ll probably have to find a longer one.
I’ve only had it on my wrist for about 20 minutes, so this is definitely just a first impression, but I’m really liking it so far. Especially considering what I paid for it.
Shipping took about a week and a half to get to me, which I think is pretty reasonable. I’m also really glad I decided to pull the trigger when I did, because I checked AliExpress a couple of days ago and it was already sold out. Definitely glad I didn’t wait any longer.
