As someone who has grown up in and around jewellery stores, and comes from a family of watchmakers, I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of Svarts. I have a basic understanding of watchmaking, and even if I didn't, building these watches would be a stroll in the park. And that's only due to the videos and handbook that comes with your watch kit. I love the packaging. The watch itself is made up of premium feeling parts. And if you know watches, you'll know the movements being used are definitely worth the price point. I feel like Svarts offers quality at a really affordable price, and honestly I would rather support a small local business over these big brands.
I really enjoyed my experience, from the unboxing, to the build itself, all the way to how it looks on my wrist, because this watch looks sick. The customer service I have received from Mr. Svarts also has added to my great experience, it's refreshing to meet someone who is passionate about the products they sell.
I will recommend this brand to everyone. Whether you work on watches everyday, or want to try it out for the first time. And if the building ain't for you, just buy one of the ready built ones. Definitely worth the money.
I probably sound like I was paid to give this review, but I was not. I'm just extremely happy with what I was sold. I can see myself coming back to this brand over and over again whenever I feel like I need a new watch.
10/10.
