Thank you.
Forteller –
Thanks for the lovely words, but you have me wondering if there is a reason why this is not 5 stars?
Shannon Lazenby (verified owner) –
Purchased the blue dial about a month ago #47 and it was absolutely perfect. Great workmanship and the accessories you recieve are above and beyond anything else you will get from almost all other microbrands. I love the design theme and pretty much ordered the white dial #74 about a week afterwards. The poetry of the numbers of my watches isn’t lost on me. The heart wants what the heart wants and I guess I now have a type. Best deal in watches!!!
Dean Clinard –
When do you plan on producing more watches? They are all beautiful and will purchase a white when available.
Forteller –
This is a limited run of watches and we won’t produce more for a long time, but we will most likely sell of a portion of our QC reserve(due no 0% warranty reports). This will be announced on our Instagram.

Fantastic

Absolutely lovely watch! It arrived two days (actually 36 hours) after my order. Sven was lovely in emails and the first thing I did was play with the straps and bracelet. I finally settled on the silicone. Excellent AR coating so you can read the stunning dial from any angle. I was looking at an Oris Aquis, but I prefer this! I prefer this to my Omega Planet Ocean and that has lived on my wrist for nearly three years. Just do yourself a favour and get one. I am thinking about getting another but that would be an indulgence…. Wonderful watch. Excellent value and service and my new favourite. Thank you!
Forteller –
Thanks.
Mislav Vukojević (verified owner) –
Watch is great, and i feel little disappointed because you wont make any new watches soon, can you tell us what you have in plan for 2023 or 2024 or is this all we got?
Forteller –
We’ll announce news and renders on our Instagram @FortellerWatches when we can confirm the designs. We expect to post new early next year on the next two models, double release planed. Hopefully we’ll have more watches ready within 2023, but it could take a little longer depending on the prototypes we get.
david.mcspadyen (verified owner) –
What an absolute bargain. The watch is fantastic, great quality, fit and finish is exceptional. Kept the bracelet on at the minute but I think I’ll be going for the Horween strap. Can’t wait to see what’s in the future. I’ll be buying more I’m 100% sure.

I got a white dial watch and its absolutely amazing. Good finishing, unbeatable specs and nice accessories. The bracelet is very nice but the leather and silicone straps really impressed me. I did have a small problem with some bracelet screws being a bit too tight and they broke when screwing them in. I can’t use the bracelet because of the broken screws but it was probably my fault. Other than that everything else is phenomenal for the price. I really hope you have some new watches planned for about the same price!

Hoping to release 2 models withing the next 12 months. One less expensive and one more.

Got my blue Cambrian a few weeks ago. I love it. Brilliant quality and design. Silicone bracelet my favourite. So comfortable. Visited tonight to buy a white dial one but no stock😫. Is there a waiting list?
Forteller –
No, we will announce any extra watches that will be sold on our Instagram, but there is no waiting list.

I did give tha cambrian 5 stars,dont know why my review shows only 4 stars,i love my Forteller watches.

Hello!
Do you ship to Ukraine?
Forteller –
We do not have a shipping option available for ukraine as DHL has limited locations to send to and there will be unpredictable charges for the reciever.
You should use our contact form if you are not reviewing the watch so please do for any further questions.

I received my blue Cambrian four days ago and am extremely happy with it. The watch feels very well made and I absolutely love the color of the dial. The extras – two straps, two tools, a watch roll – are also excellent. I recommend the watch and the buying experience wholeheartedly! I look forward to seeing more models from Forteller in the years to come.
Paul T. (verified owner) –
I purchased the white full lume dial Cambrian. It is a great looking watch with zero flaws in quality. I am amazed that Forteller produced such a beauty with their very first watch.
The Cambrian wears very well. Legibility is excellent. I love the deign and finish of the handset and indices. I think the date window at 6 is the ideal location. The bezel is precise and properly aligned. The lume is bright and long lasting. The bracelet is fine, but I prefer one with less taper. There is no push button release on the clasp, like many other skindiver models. Leather and silicone straps are included in the package. Overall, a stunning piece and just incredible value for money.

Beautiful watch I can’t believe the quality & value at this price I love that this isn’t just a copy of something else it. Has its own personality can’t wait for what’s next
Jack Bradley (verified owner) –
Fantastic watch, cannot wait to see future products from this company!
Ron Villesis –
My wife surprised me with the blue dial as a Christmas gift. So glad she did, because she told me you were all out a short time after she ordered, and I’d been eyeing that as my next watch since I first saw an online review for the Cambrian a few months back.
I LOVE how this watch looks with the blue fume/sunburst dial (looks even better in person), and it feels and looks great on my 6-1/2 inch wrist! With the watch roll, straps, and tools that it comes with, this has to be one of the best values in watches today. Looking forward to what’s next from you.

Exquisite piece of kit for the money! Unbeatable diver that punches wayyy over it’s weight!
Jaroslav Jezek (verified owner) –
Just a great watch! I believe this watch has everything what a dive watch has to have. Nice and clear design, great lume, confortable fit on the wrist, great bracelet, 4 regulation holes at the clasp, very well working and solid bezel, etc. The accessories kit is just excellent and the sunburst dial is even better than on the pictures. Looking forward for next watch models!!!
Stuart Gregg (verified owner) –
A truely stunning watch which I’m sure will look that way for a very long time as the build quality is excellent.
The overall package and service are unquestionably 5 star, I hope your business goes from strength to strength as it deservedly should.
Very excited to see what you produce next, it will have to be very good to compare with the Cambrian
J.P. (verified owner) –
I am incredibly impressed with the quality and finish of my black dial Cambrian dive watch! This is the best watch I have ever owned and I am glad I bought it instead of a Tissot. It is perfect!!! Thank-you for the affordable price as well. I saw the review of this watch on The Time Teller and Caseback Watches YouTube Channels which sold me on the watch and it is far better in person than it appears on video. I can’t wait to see what you offer next and hope to see more media exposure of your watches.

I’ve had my black dial Cambrian for about six months now and I love it. It quickly became my daily wear. I work outside in the ski industry and I wear this with no worries. It has seen rain, snow, mud, and minus zero temperatures with no issues. I can’t wait to see what you guys do next, keep it up!
Sanj & Emma (verified owner) –
We were initially buying this watch as a Christmas present for our kid as his first automatic sports watch, which if I’m honest I was a little gutted & jealous about!…….But then the Mrs, Emma, having seen the watch and really liking it, coupled with my sullen face, decided that maybe purchasing two was reasonable after all….that’s despite the fact that my 20+ watch collection has often been a bone of contention between us, even though her 50+ pairs trainer collection isn’t at all excessive, no! 😏 Sorry, I digress!
We ordered them on 20th December, and fully expected they might not arrive until the New Year……confirmation of them being posted was received the same day along with a tracking number. I received a request from the couriers to pay the import duty/taxes on the 22nd and amazingly the package arrived before midday on the 23rd December! We were so pleased, we were able to give the watch to Alex on Xmas Day and he was really happy with it. We bought it as a daily beater watch for him but he seems to wear it as his best watch; not wanting to scratch or “sully” its perfection in any way. It took him 2 weeks before he dared tackle changing the bracelet to the quick release silicone strap!
The watch itself is beautifully designed, with a definate nod to the crown-guardless clean lines of the Tudor Black Bay, the excellent AR coating on the saphire crystal enables you to enjoy and appreciate the fumé style sunburst dial in all its glory! The sword hands, dial and bezel are really well lumed which makes for easy reading in the light but it more than holds its own in the dark where it appears to come alive with an almost radioactive glow!
The matt ceramic, 120 click, unidirectional bezel is spot on and perfectly aligned with no backplay.
The steel bracelet with its milled clasp is more than you should expect for the sub £250/€275/$300 price point but then Sven doesn’t stop there…he then throws in a quick release, genuine horween leather strap to go with the silicone strap I mentioned previously. That would have already made this watch one of the best, most unmissable bargains of 2022 but then you get a spingbar tool and a screw driver thrown in too, all packaged in an unexpected but extremely good quality, well made PU leather watch roll, complete with the embossed Forteller branding and individual compartments to house everything in!
So where have they cut corners you might ask? Well it certainly isn’t the ever reliable, if a little ubiquitous (there’s an obvious reason for that!), NH35A movement which I suspect that Sven and the Forteller lot have further regulated because over 7 days mine averaged 0.1m/s beat error with +/- 3 secs a day but after a week was just 2 secs behind!
I shall stop my rambling there, I could, and probably will, continue to go on about this watch for some time to come……in fact it’s finally inspired me to set up my own vlog, blog and reviews channel.
What I will finish with is an area that’s most important to me, and that’s the customer service and after care, this is something that’s all too often lacking with most brands out there, especially some of the larger ones but I would like to really commend Sven & Forteller for delivering the type of experience I have long expect but never received, not even from high end luxuary brands! Very Well done!
To anyone still reading this and thinking about buying one…… if you’re able to secure one do it now! Do it before these last few sell out again and you’ll of missed this particular bargain forever! You honestly will not be disappointed.

I’ve had may blue dial Cambrian for about 3 months now and I like it. The size and weight are perfect for my 6.7 inch (17 cm) wrist. It looks great in the day light. I received many compliments about the looks of the watch. Unfortunately, the quality of the watch and bracelet are not very good. The clasp feels cheap and the bracelet links are sharp on the wrist. The lume on the bezel was initially great, but after a couple of weeks got dirty and can’t be cleaned of… Anyway, for your first try, I’d say it is a success!
Joachim Weise (verified owner) –
I just received my blue dial Cambrian. I can only confirm how nice it looks, how solid it is. The finishing is flawless. It can certainly “beat” many watches that are way, way more expensive. Keep up the good work!
Mike (verified owner) –
Simply an excellent watch. Accurate. Well-built. Stunning presentation. The Seiko movement provides credibility and accuracy at a price point that makes the watch attainable. The artistry of design makes the watch [blue dial face] particularly attractive to wear for all occasions. The provided tools and straps make the watch adaptable to casual or business settings. Very happy I made the purchase. I’m looking forward to other watches that Forteller will create.
Daniel McBriar (verified owner) –
I missed the original launch and had to wait for the QC stock to be for sale. I am so glad I managed to get one.
I have other more expensive watches but the quality of this watch is unbelievable for the price. Now my daily watch and cannot wait to see what else Forteller come out with. Thank you

Dostałem zegarek z niebieską tarczą nr 160/249 na prezent w marcu. W porównaniu z seiko jaki posiadam cambrian jest lepiej wykonany i ta turkusowa tarcza. Piękny zegarek. Zdjąłem bransoletę i przymierzałem zegarek z dołączonymi paskami. Następnie postanowiłem wrócić do bransolety i tu zaczął się problem, gdyż z jednej strony teleskop ktory jest w maskownicy nie chciał wskoczyć w otwór. Kilkakrotnie próbując założyć bransoletę dałem sobie spokój. Dopiero zegarmistrz, który stwierdził że otwory są źle wywiercone męcząc się przez dłuższą chwilę założył bransoletę. Założyłbym ponownie któryś pasek, ale obawiam się że będzie znów problem z założeniem ponownie bransolety. Sam zegarek świetnie wykonany i w dobrej cenie.

Did you use the provided tool for changing you bracelet?
If there are any QC issues with the lug holes send us a message with photos so that we can check it.
When re-installing the bracelet it can be challenging as the tolerances are very tight, but when taking it of it should be very easy with the provided pin-tool.

Hello!
My name is Silviu Ureche and on December 11th 2022 I ordered the blue Forteller Cambrian watch. My order number is #3046. I received the watch and I wore it a few times every week. After a couple of months, I noticed the paint on the bezel had gotten dirty and the bezel lume was not so visible at night time or in low light conditions. I have several dive watches, but none of them got the bezel paint dirty, no matter the abuse they got. Considering the Forteller Cambrian watch came with an 18 months guarantee, I think it would be in order if I could replace the bezel. I could send you the watch, or you could send me the bezel and I can replace it myself.
Thank you!

The precision of this watch is extraordinary, showing the high level of craftsmanship that Forteller brings to the table. Its aesthetically pleasing dial, sturdy case, and stylish band exhibit meticulous attention to detail.
Despite its robust construction, the Forteller watch is surprisingly comfortable, providing an easy wearing experience throughout the day.
Lastly, Forteller’s exemplary customer service stands out, emphasizing their commitment to ensuring a seamless customer experience.
In conclusion, the Forteller watch is a model of perfection, embodying the perfect balance of style, performance, comfort, and functionality. A worthy addition to any timepiece collection.

Received my white Cambrian in just a few days.
I love how it was intricately built, screams quality! For 200+ USD I don’t know any other watch that beats this in terms of value.
Hoping Forteller would sell some accessories to this. The leather and silicone straps are top notch and would like to see more colors. Will definitely keep an eye out on upcoming designs!

Received 3 pack two yesterday. I only want blue dial Cambrian but all was sold out and only last 3 pack left. I was thinking to sell other two watches and keep the blue dial but I may keep all three watches. Quality, design, size, dial colours and the accessories everything is perfect, build quality is better than my Tissot PRX. And Sven announce they won’t made Cambrian model anymore.
Phil Haywood (verified owner) –
I have owned my white dial version for a year or more now and it’s fantastic. I have a lot of watches, almost all more expensive than this one but as far as value for money goes, nothing comes close. Certain other manufacturers will charge you three or four times the price to get even near these specs. The finishing is also top notch.
I have been telling everyone that will listen about this watch, it’s only a shame that it’s not currently available. I look forward to future releases.

received my green and blue engineer divers sized bracelet love the micro adjustment on clasp now perfect fit , on timegrapher there both running superb for this price range watch , great finishing many thanks
Craig (verified owner) –
Just received the Engineer Diver in Red. What a great looking watch!! Looks much better on wrist than on youtube or the photos. So slim for 120m ISO! The clasp is excellent. A PRXish diver with a viking style to it and its very legible! The bracelet and case brushing and polishing are excellent and a high beat Miyota to boot – definately punching above its weight quality versus price! Well done!! No paperwork bit of a shame, but if it cuts costs then I’m all for it….

3 Day delivery ( including Sunday & Bank holiday ) is remarkable to uk, watch is very well made extras a bonus unusual looks a bonus without compromising time display ( white version ) only issue value in uk drops slightly due to all charges coming to over £84 but that is not Forteller fault, nice addition to my collection.

Just received the Engineer Diver in red yesterday, very impressed with the fit and finish of the watch. I really enjoy the details on the dial, and the hand set. Switched over to the butterfly clasp and replaced extra links to get the perfect fit. Amazing build, and great value, really happy with the purchase.

I have three of the Engineer Divers: white, black and red. Today I ordered the blue. (The green has one too many colors for my taste.) To state the obvious: I think these are incredible watches. They are unique, beautifully executed, and well spec-ed (even ISO 6425 certified!!!!). It amazes me that they are sold at this price, but I also think that this is a brilliant way to get the word out, and I have been posting wrist shots in many of the FB groups to help out. It is not easy to find a balance between individual artistic expression and classical form. These watches hit a sweet spot in my opinion in how they relay Norse themes in the design. Not only that, but the white black and red have such distinct characters, that they are like three sifferent watches. (I expect the blue will be more like red.) The watches have stayed in my rotation from day one, and I am very happy to have them. Thanks, Sven!

Excellent value-for-money watch. I was hoping to get the all-white but that was unfortunately gone, so I settled on the blue dial. It’s very well-made, the finishing on case and bracelet are fantastic and it fits almost any outfit. The diving clasp is a bit oversized, but they sent a secondary butterfly clasp that looks great for everyday use. The movement is amazing for the price, and it’s running at +5 s/day for me. Import taxes and fees were insane for me here in Mexico (almost $160!), so with that and shipping I ended up paying close to $500 in total, and even at that price I still think I’m getting a lot of watch for the money. I wish I lived in Norway because at the listed price this is an absolute steal.
