Nordgreen Philosopher Scandinavian Gun Metal Watch with Interchangeable Straps

Product Information

While the instructions explain how to change the strap, I prefer video tutorials and Nordgreen has many to help answer all the how-tos for changing the different features of their watches. However, some people prefer the movements from Seiko or Citizen, which are of comparable quality but don’t create audible noise.

For the bold ladies that want to define their style better and the men who are not scared to challenge the norms, we introduce this limited-edition pink face watch. Now, we have a pink dial watch that appeals to the women while teasing the men who want to try something different too. Since I’m an incredibly active expat wife with 2 kids, a watch that allows me to wear it on a sporadic beach run or to a 5-star restaurant is not only helpful but exactly what I need. The option to swap straps easily to mirror the activity make a Nordgreen watch like buying 2-for-1. There are a staggering amount of watches out there in the wild and the number increases massively every year, with such choices it can be easy to feel overwhelmed. Designs vary massively and the complications on offer can also make you feel unsure of whether your choice is the right one, design, complications, pricing, quality, so many things to consider. Designer watches are all too often cheaply made with some great looks but failing miserably in the area of function, often breaking and being unusable within only a few years.Setting the time is incredibly easy and will literally take seconds! It’s far easier than my Rolex or my Russell Hobbs coffee maker for that matter. 🤣 This small detail makes a big impact on how the watch looks on your wrist. Even if you’re a guy with a more slender wrist, I’d recommend the 40mm because it wears more like a 38mm or 39mm watch. Crown

The watch face is somewhat familiar yet somewhat different. Many watches undergo a minimal, simple look. But many fail to break away and mold the timeless design into something truly unique. There are little accents of details that make the Nordgreen Philosopher succeed, however. The Nordgreen Philosopher is an elegant, minimalistic watch with some interesting details. But does it possess the same level of quality as more established brands? The Brand Sometimes the date box doesn’t line up right with the movement, sometimes the crown isn’t very effective—both those problems speak to a shoddy build.The watch has a solid weight (3.77 ounces / 107 grams) with the 3-link strap and it strikes a great balance between its weight and comfort. The weight also adds to the feeling of quality and durability. The movement If your tired of scrolling through a sea of noise then it might be worth considering something different, Nordgreen have successfully made a great watch here, no complications, no fuss, just simple design with great quality parts and finish. Below, we’ve listed all of the Harry Potter movies – including the Fantastic Beasts spinoffs – and where you can watch them, whether it’s streaming, VOD, or on physical media.

Harry is selected as a fourth champion, even though he maintains he didn’t nominate himself. Harry successfully manages to steal a golden egg from a dragon and saves two people from some vicious underwater beasts, navigating the first two trials with ease. There are several indications of a high-quality watch, such as its weight, the movement it uses, time accuracy, the country of assembly, the type of watch glass, water resistance, warranty, and the brand reputation.

The watch’s design is eye-catching and was awarded the Red Dot design award in 2021, which is a great accomplishment for a relatively new brand. Of the 30+ watches in my collection, 20 must have Miyotas at their core. While it’s not exotic or rare, I haven’t had any problems with my watches breaking down or losing significant amounts of time. Strap and Wearability While many 40mm watches may have a 42mm or 44mm lug-to-lug measurement, the Philosopher has a lug-to-lug length just under 40mm. The chapter ring is slightly elevated and angled toward the center of the watch. At closer inspection, you’ll notice that it’s texturized, which again, is a nice detail.

The crown is tapered with bevels at the tip for easier grip. The simple 3-point articulation makes it easy to change the date and time. I’ve tried a few watches where changing the date presented big problems with the watch.

Nordgreen Philosopher – Video Review

Setting the date didn’t happen on my first go. I kept pulling the crown out too far (at least that’s why my husband told me). My husband did set the date on my Philosopher after I couldn’t seem to get the crown to turn to the correct date on my first wear of the watch. I’d like to think the crystal here at least has a sapphire coating given the price, but my guess is that the Philosopher uses mineral glass. After overthrowing Umbridge’s authority, Harry and five other students head to the Ministry of Magic to save Sirius from the Death Eaters. A huge fight ensues between the wizards, but the Death Eaters overpower the students, taking them all hostage. Even though Nordgreen uses the genuine leather (lower grade than top-grain or full-grain), they seem to source it from an excellent tannery. It’s soft and easy to wear for long periods of time.
