Adora Nautic Titanium Men's Watch with Silicone Band 50 mm Chrono Date AN2990

A great looking titanium watch for under £100, seemed good to be true. However, I was not disappointed when I received it. As I have a larger wrist it is an ideal size. One small problem was the silicone rubber strap did not fit my 9 inch wrist, I could get it fastened on the last hole if I stretched it. I bought a new gray NATO strap and it looks awesome.

I have barely heard of Adora watches, and this one would have probably never been in my focus, however if you live with a severe nickel allergy like I do, you know exactly how hard it is nowadays to get a FULL titanium watch. Furthermore, most of the leather straps are now treated with substances that contain nickel, so even a leather strap can (and in most cases do) give me rashes or even painful blisters in no time. So you need a full titanium watch (not only the case), a non-leather and non-steel strap - that could be titanium, rubber or nylon at this price range - AND also the buckle/clasp needs to be titanium. This way you can not be too picky... However this watch was a bargain for about 70 GBP (MSRP tag says 169 EUR in the box). Here is what you get: it is very well made, contains a good old and reliable Miyota heart, sturdy, looks great, easy to read, has luminous hands, a rotating bezel, and it is lightweight, even at this size. I am a robust guy and have a thick wrist, but I had no issues with the length of the strap. My only objection would be the quality of the bezel rotation. It is a little bit loose, however if you don't bother around with it all day, this wouldn't be an issue, thus I gave it 5 stars at this price. If you have allergy and like bigger watches, get your hands on it. Wouldn't call it a "timepiece", but it can be your everyday buddy at work... :)
