Let customers speak for us
from 258 reviewsThe watch is very clean, the polishing, dial and shape of the watch is very minimalist but still catches the eye. The dial is exquisite and shifts colour depending on the light. The only slight complaint I have is the movement. The 8015 miyota movement is good, however a newer 90 series movement would have been appreciated and slightly expected for the price.
Knis took a risk by blending the white and silverish colours making it subtle looking dial but classy and very cultural. Its a combination of everything but in a very simple form! The bracelet is comfortable too. Reliable movement too so at this price point I think I have to thanks a lot Knis for this wonderful job!
Ero indeciso tra il quadrante chiaro e quello scuro. Alla fine ho scelto quello scuro per avere un risalto maggiore degli indici. Il miyota serie 9000 è un ottimo miglioramento. Orologio molto ben curato sotto tutti gli aspetti. Consiglio.
I was really pleased with my Knis Koku. I love the Kanji indices and it has an extremely clean look to it. I have received numerous compliments on it. I am also happy with the Miyota 9000 series movement, a definite upgrade from the 8000 series they used on some of their previous watches.
I would highly recommend this watch.

一本目の青文字盤気に入ってたんですが
こちらも綺麗で気に入りました。漢字のインデックスと青い秒針に萌えます。これ書いたら3本目も書かなきゃwm
Very pleased with product . I going to use every day
ホワイト文字盤の白さと凹凸加工が美しく、前作の「雪肌」に負けず劣らずです。普段はブレスレットを使わないのですが、このライスブレスレットの繊細さに加え、ずしりとくる作りの良さに安心感があります。
The watch is even more (and by quite a bit) stunning than the photos suggest! The shipping was very quick. There was a hickup with customs (isn't there always?), and I had to write to KNIS customer support. The response was very fast, despite the different time zones, and solved the problem immediately.
I'm very happy with the purchase, thank you very much!
自分にとって理想的なデザインで即買しました。買ってよかったです、すごくきれいで大満足です。手首の細い男性や、女性でも似合うと思います。迷っている人はぜひ!この価格でこのデザイン(黒文字盤にブレゲ文字)で高級感ありの時計はおそらく今後出てこない、ほかで容易に見つからないと思います。伊丹空港や京都中心地であちこち広告見かけるクオとも被らない、クオよりリーズナブル、最高です。
漢字の文字盤は比較的珍しいと思いますので、所有欲を満たせます!大切に使いたいと思います。
シンプルなデザインでありながらも、高品質で細部までこだわり抜いた仕上がりを感じます。文字盤は旧漢数字の彫金インデックスで美しさと存在感があり、長く大切に使い続けたいと思える一本です。
A beautiful watch I bought as a gift. The dial is mesmerising and the quality very good. It was packaged well and delivered internationally very quickly. A wonderful piece.
I ordered a Retro Military Watch Off-White to be shipped to Germany. It arrived after four business days and was already set to the correct time zone. The watch is of good quality and the price is fair. Next time, though, I would order a leather strap as well.
黒が好きなので特に気に入っております。文字も個人的に和の物が好きなので気になったのと特に珍しく感じておりオシャレです。
ベルトはステンレス、レザーで悩みましたが気分を変えて黒レザーにして統一しました。個人的によかったと思っております。少し腕へ装着時にてこずりましたが構造を覚えて仕舞えば平気です。この先大切に使わせて頂きたいと思います。有難うございました。
The watch looks exactly like the picture. It’s unfortunate that it uses a 8000 series miyota, but the dial is why I got it so I’m completely satisfied. Amazing watch.
