Definitely a step up in quality from previous versions. The bracelet feels solid and the sapphire almost appears to not be there. Superb value for money.

Amazing British watch microbrand
I've bought a number of Cestrian watches over the years, culminating in the latest Master Series V3, and they've all been amazing quality and value. Reliable Japanese movements and fantastic finishing make them amazing value and being a British brand tops them off nicely. Highly recommended.

Great improvements on the Master Series V3 (Blue Dial)
I purchased the V2 a couple of years ago. It was a great value but the design started to wear thin. When I saw the version 3, I was pretty excited. The new stick hands, no date, single baton applied indices and on the fly adjustment looked like they came up with a more symmetrical/tame but beautiful design. When I received the watch (blue dial) I felt it looked as good if not better in real life. The blue is dynamic, the indices are stark white and the orange tip on the second hand makes for a lot of interest. I went a step further and found the movement to be well regulated on my timegrapher. This watch definitely punches above the price point.

Brilliant Brand!
I’ve just purchased the white dial Ocean series, and it’s a beautiful watch. I had a feeling it would be a popular choice, which was quickly confirmed when it sold out on the first day.
I already own several Cestrian watches, and the build quality continues to impress me. Their designs are fantastic, and I rarely go a week without someone commenting on how great my watch looks.
The customer service I’ve received has been exceptional too — they’ve truly got the time for you!

DISGUSTING RUDE SERVICE.
Purchased a GMT Ocean Series (new Feb 2026) on 14th Feb, watch came next day in post. Noticed straight away Bezel pip doesn't align and when turning the bezel the bezel bounces up and down loosely and rattling as if it's about to just fall off. I wrote an email Sat 15th to Cestrian but no reply. On Sunday i decided to inspect the watch under closer eye and found scratches on the side casing and hazing where the watch hasn't been finished and polished properly so i sent Cestrian another email Sun 16th and still no reply. I looked on their website and it said their hours of business Mon - Fri so i thought i'd wait till Monday morning for a reply to my emails. Still no reply to emails so i rang the number on Cestrian website and it comes up on the phone as WatchNation. The guy on the other end of the phone was rude and kept talking over me when i tried to explain the situation to him over the phone, when I mentioned to him that he didn't let me finish explaining he hung up the phone on me.
I shall go through Paypal for my refund.
Update 25/02/2026 Got a full refund as promised by the owner but i won't deal with/purchase or recommend this company again due to their awful customer services on the phone.

Reply from Cestrian Watches
Hi David,
Thank you for updating your review.
We’re genuinely sorry this experience didn’t reflect the standards we set at Cestrian Watches.
After receiving your email, the watch was reviewed internally and we confirmed the bezel / alignment on your piece was outside acceptable tolerance. Every watch is inspected prior to dispatch, but on this occasion that alignment issue slipped through the final QC check — and that responsibility sits with us.
Once it was flagged, remaining stock was rechecked piece by piece. The replacement model that had been put aside was correctly aligned, within tolerance and passed inspection, which reassured us this wasn’t a wider batch issue — however that does not change the fact your watch should have been caught.
Regarding the case finishing, all watches arrive fully wrapped and the protective film is removed during final inspection. Following your feedback, additional pieces were inspected closely and no similar marks were identified. That said, we fully accept that the watch you received did not meet expectations.
In terms of communication, our team operates Monday to Friday and aims to respond within 24 working hours. Your emails were received over the weekend and responded to on Monday morning within that timeframe. We understand that when something isn’t right, even a short wait can feel frustrating.
With regard to the phone call, it was not intentionally terminated. You came through to the dispatch team, and standard procedure is to request order details so the matter can be escalated correctly. That said, we accept that the interaction should have felt smoother, and this has been addressed internally to ensure a consistently professional experience.
Your full refund was processed promptly via PayPal as promised, and we appreciate you acknowledging that in your update.
Cestrian Watches is built on listening and improving. When issues are identified, processes are reviewed immediately. Continuous improvement in both QC and customer experience is something we take seriously.
We’re sorry this one didn’t meet expectations and wish you all the best moving forward.

Quality watch.
For the money this is a very well made watch. Went for the orange dial and it looks the part.
Highly recommended..
4 stars as the registration card serial number did not match the watch serial number..

A very beautiful watch
A very beautiful watch. I wish it was 41 mm so it would be perfect. But 40 is fine. I love it.

Cestrian field series automatic watch, 200m, green/Nato
Watch was delivered on time & safely by post office delivery. It was well packaged and the field series watch with green/Nato strap is a good looking watch that in the week that I’ve had it has kept good time ( checked via time.is). The strap is a bit on the long side for my 18cm wrist but that’s only a minor issue!

Dive Series V2 Midnight grey/black silicone
Apart from the watch, this time I had the opportunity to contact support. That was a very good experience. In the truest sense of the word competent support.
And now to the watch, it is beautiful and crafted down to the last details. Excellent readability in the dark. Comfortable to wear and is a real diver’s watch. I can only recommend it.
