Isotope Watches - Goutte d’Eau dive watch

I hope it's ok to post this here. I know that the forum is affiliated with another watch seller.

I'm backing this project but have no other stake in it. However, I thought it was worth a share as this watch really ticks a load of boxes for me on size (40mm), design, functionality, style, movement, etc. There are similar watches out there but there's just something about this watch that they got right.

Here are the specs:

Good review. Looks like it'll be a good watch.

Me too!

Do you think you are going to back it?

Hi - sorry for the delayed response.

Unfortunately not on this occasion. The only reason being that I’ve backed the Yema Heritage Bronze, the Newmark 71 and the Neucarl Sept Mai - plus I have 2 others from Kickstarter and 1 other Pre-Order waiting delivery - so this one was just terrible timing for me. [emoji3525]

Fingers crossed it gets a surge - as it’s a crying shame if it doesn’t get funded

I see this is going on Pre-Order tomorrow at 3pm BST - I might go for it this time. Is anybody else?

Just ordered the Sellita Movement in Blue with date - at £328 it seems exceptional value for such a great design

Errrhhhh...that was the Kickstarter - yesterday they opened up Pre-Orders, delivery is still anticipated as end of November.

The Movements have changed to Seiko N35 and Sellita SW200-1; and the prices has had a significant reduction. The Sellita not being much more than the Miyota.

Its a great watch - and now only requires 6 more Pre-Orders to proceed

Well, the good news seems to be I think they've done it - as counter has reset and its now 15 out of 90 - and not now out of 95 which was the number required for funding.

Looking forwards to becoming a proud owner of this, and the Newmark 71. As I went for the Selitta movement on the Isotope it will be interesting to see how that compared with the Miyota on the Newmark

Opinions on wether the sellita is worth it over the Seiko?

It’s a lot more accurate - whether that makes it worth it is down to personal choice; but I think it is [emoji846]

I actually picked up my first watch with a Sellita movement in it yesterday - a SW260-1 (so its not the same as the Isotope what has the SW200-1)

After 24 hours that watch has gained just 1 second.

Really glad I ordered the Sellita Movement in the Isotope 🙂

So I ordered the blue with the Selitta, but there has been an error and I’ve only been charged for the Seiko movement. Apparently there was an issue that day and they received 30 emails about the issue.

Hopefully it is sorted and I can pay the difference before release. First test of their customer service I guess. Fingers crossed!

Have you e-mailed them about this.

I nearly did the same thing - as the 'default' watch was the Orange N35 and that kept getting added to the Cart no matter what you did. Luckily I realised and never hot the 'Buy' button until it was sorted out.

However, if you did I'd recommend you contact them so you don't get the wrong one

Hi,

Yes I did, and to be fair they did reply saying the issue was resolved and they would manually look through orders placed that day. I just made further contact to let me know when to make the further payment.

Obviously the watch won’t be shipped for a while, so should be plenty time to sort it.

Just to update this, I got mine delivered yesterday. Unfortunately the wife has decided to give it to me as a Christmas present - but I managed to have a sneak peek and it seems a high quality product, really pleased with it and can’t wait to get my hands fully on it [emoji106]

Very much look forward to seeing some pics in-the-metal. Missed-out on the pre-order phase as timing was way out for me, but absolutely love the design.

Sorry for the rather poor camera phone photo - but here’s the production version in the flesh.

Must say in very pleased with it, seems a quality timepiece. The only issue I had was altering the bracelet - the split-pins were a nightmare to get out - but I did it in the end.

*HATE* split pins, but that is one very well-styled watch, something that is genuinely a little bit different without any ugly gratuitous features!
