This has quickly become my favorite watch. It fits great on my wrist and is stunning to look at. I would 100% recommend this watch to any looking to start or expand their collection.
Probably six months ago when I got fully immersed in the YouTube watch world, I came across the HUMISM watches and knew straight away I would want to have one of these pristine art pieces in my collection. Sure enough, and in person the watch is stunning. Many times these type of creative watches are smaller case sizes but with my 8" wrist I prefer the 42mm-44mm size. So, the Kato is 42 and fits perfectly on my wrist. It comes with a very nice leather strap but again, I had already figured out I had want to put a razor-wire bracelet and now I believe I have the perfect watch. Certainly not a daily driver, but, when I am doing something super creative, this is my go-to watch. I really appreciate the passion and mission statement that HUMISM strives for and I am happy I am a part of that now. Highly recommend!
Its my favorite watch I bought. The packaging is especially stunning. The milanese mesh strap is not a perfect fit for me but the watch is truly amazing.
I like this watch bc it isn't like the smart watches. You take a moment to read the time and enjoy the geometric movement.
The self winding mode means that if you don't wear it daily, you will have to reset it. But I'm okay with that. We have enough tech stuff. So I really like the complexity (as seen from the back) and the simplicity.
Definitely it great value for money for a unique and different watch and that’s what I like most about it.
And here’s what I did like and didn’t like:
I did like:
Customer Service, I asked to have black leather strap instead of yellow stitched strap for my Rhizome/HELIOS which I exceptionally had. Thanks Mr. Raymond for that!!
Design, I admired the concept of turning time into art specially with adding the yellow touch. I did like the DLC finish it make the watch stands out on your hand.
Sapphire with AR coating adds more charm to watch design and look.
Straps, I had both Italian leather strap and black Milanese and you can feel the high quality. Black Milanese is a great match for the DLC finish..
I didn’t like:
I’m not a big fan of screwed case backs, as there probability that screws gets scratched while opening.
Exhibition case backs would need more fancy movement piece specially we have a nice sapphire on the back.
Overall, It’s unique and gorgeous timepiece to have in your collection for watches enthusiasts..
It isn't often that I write reviews. I reserve it for things that truly impressed me. Humism's watches and customer service have warranted me taking time out of my day to leave them this glowing review.
Like a good painting, or music that inspires the soul, these watches seem to take the best of human engineering, and combine it with sublime art to produce something that I can only say is equivalent to the Ferrari of watches. I cannot stop admiring them everyday. Superb design and artisanal enough to evoke emotions. They surely are a conversation piece in any room you enter. I like their watches so much that I bought 2.
I have searched most of the internet for automatic watches and nothing came close to the design, beauty and elegance of the first Kato 39mm watch I bought from Humism. Having used it for a month. I was searching for more designs. The one that truly evoked another reaction from me was the Edumonia Helios. Sadly as it was out of stock I couldn't really purchase it. This is when I contacted their customer service to let them know how much this watch meant to me and how I was looking for that specific model, though it was discontinued. Whoever is Raymond Boutros manager give the man a raise! He is undoubtedly the best customer service person I've interacted with at any company. He patiently took the time to answer all of my questions over the past month, and find a watch I was looking for in the warehouse. Over many conversations I was able to finally get my Edumonia Helios today and I can't tell you how much I'm impressed by it and with Ray's diligent and patient followup with me. 5 out of 5 stars for customer service. And another 5 if i could give for the watches themselves.
Thank you to the entire Humism team. Y'all have a one of a kind product and I hope you continue making great watches! If you're open to suggestions, I'd love to see a future watch from your design studio that changes colors based on seasons, or patterns that change based on the time of day if those were feasible to design and manufacture.
Thank you again Raymond for the help in getting me the watch I wanted. And thank you all in the Humism team for a superb watch!
- A very happy customer :)
The watch is absolutely amazing. I am thankful Humism doesn't charge more than they do because they could. The dial is mesmorizing; distracting in a good way.
This watch is amazing! I often get so many compliments on it or people who will ask to look at it closer. It's also pretty durable as well. I will occasionally bump my wrist against something and will be worried that I cracked the watch face but it remains in pristine condition!
Beautiful watch. Really unique watch from a microbrand base in small sunny Singapore. 39mm is the perfect size. Quality materials like stainless steel and sapphire glass with average AR coating for the money paid.
A good watch is worth recommending. Looking forward to the launch of more new products in the future.
Really a beautiful time piece that’s super different than most watches out there … glad to have it in the collection! I’d also look for a silver band that isn’t leather.
Love the watch and love the support of the team, not taking them off the whole day!
