Let customers speak for us
from 450 reviewsI really like the kanji. I have had many comments about the watch and they all ask if it authentic. Some of the non believers have to take a closer look. Then they are speechless. I just smile a proud smile lol. I will cherish this watch forever.
I visited the new show-room yesterday and purchased this watch after stumbling across a YouTube video about the store. I am not a watch guy but after viewing these incredible watches I am a convert. There were many other watches available that I could easily have chosen but this one caught my eye. Not over the top but with enough X-factor to stand out. Lovely staff helped me with no sales pressure and at a price which is truely good given the quality.
Beautiful dial, hands, and movement
A very beautiful watch. The dial looks amazing in person. The beads of rice bracelet is pretty good quality and it's nice that it has many micro adjustment steps. The watch is also pretty well regulated, mine is running at about +5 s per day. Overall I think it's a very good watch for the price.
Great product.
O relógio é fantástico, principalmente o acabamento e a construção. É de muita qualidade todo o relógio, principalmente o mostrador que é feito de aventurina, cada aventurina é única, e possui um efeito cintilante inigualável! Eu fico várias vezes olhando o mostrador apenas para ver o brilho. O relógio veste muito bem, o fecho é em borboleta e é bem resistente, muito bem feito! Gostaria de ressaltar que o atendimento da Knis é excelente, e possuem relógios de altíssima qualidade, estou super satisfeito com a minha compra, ele atravessou o mundo para chegar até mim(Brasil). Obrigado Knis!
very beautiful watch that's even better in person! Black Nato has incredible quality. Super fact shipping and great costumer service.
Very nice reasonably priced field type watch
ステンレスから本革に交換。Dバックルだから安心感あり。秋冬に最適な着け心地。ウィッドマンシュテッテン構造の文字盤に⌚👍
Incredible watch for the value. Easily competes with a Hamilton Murph only IMO KNIS has better proportions and I really love the quartz movement. Only negative is I wish the lume was stronger for low light. This has been getting a lot of wrist time over my Seikos, Hamilton and Tissots. Will definitely add more KNIS to the collection.
Love this watch. It feels reminiscent of a Patek 5226g with a Japanese design language. The same use of negative space, the same pebbled surface, the spare surrounding case that disentangle detract from the dial, without being an homage in any way.
There are other watchmakers in Japan, but Knis is special. They are next door to another very popular watchmaker that has a similar emphasis on distinctly Japanese aesthetic using the same m9039 movement. Many other brands use the same movement. Knis manages to produce a watch that is thinner, better finished with engraved Kanji indeces, a sophisticated yet simple design, and it happens to be beautiful on any strap, at a lower price. I have many more expensive watches, but I love wearing my Knis. There are more Knis watches in my future.
婚約記念に彼へプレゼントしました。
唯一無二のアベンチュリンガラスの表情が星空のようにキラキラと輝いていて、とても喜んでいました。
発送も迅速でよかったです。この度はありがとうございました。
Amazing watch and straps all around. Beautiful and built solidly. Highly recommend. Crazy value.
I am delighted with my new Knis watch. Purchasing was easy using the effective website. My watch arrived quickly to the UK and I was able to track it all the way. It is a beautiful watch with a fantastic champagne sunray dial with a hint of olive green and a very nice stainless steel bracelet. A great watch from a great company. I would definitely buy from Knis again.
Received the watch very promptly and opened the box to reveal the wonderfully crafted time piece that was enclosed. Finishing is excellent and looks great on the wrist. Unfortunately, now I have to decide if I am going to purchase one of the other beautiful looking watches available. Who am I kidding, my mind is already made up. Ha.
