LIV GX1-A Cool Gray

If you want a first-class experience at an economy plus price this is the brand for you. Communication from the moment you purchase is excellent. Great design on all of there watches. Lightning-fast dispatching. I was surprised at the heft of the watch. Even the packaging is premium. Highly recommended.

Full disclosure, when I was looking for a watch, I would only consider a watch made in Europe or the US, mostly because I work for a German brand and believe that their manufacturing is some of the finest. My main watch is a 2000 vintage Omega GMT that my wife gave in instead of a wedding ring but it is in desperate need of repair, it’s losing time and the hour hand gets stuck, so I was looking for a quality, European made watch. Guess what, almost impossible to find until I stumbled on LIV. I did the research and fell in love with it on the internet. Swiss-made, quality movement, really nice to look at, and when I opened the box, put it on my wrist, I wasn’t disappointed. This is a beautiful timepiece, quality is without question and it looks fantastic on my wrist. I couldn’t be happier with my decision. One criticism, I have a 6.5” (165 mm) wrist and although the band still fits well, it would have been nice to have an option for a smaller band. FYI, if I could give it 6 stars I would!

speedy dispatch and very stylish.

I am pleased to own and wear this model, but have reservations/suggestions:- The bracelet is of a lower standard than the watch. It is not accurately made . It should have ******* links at least. The crown has a sharp edge on the larger diameter- it needs a small chamfer. The watch suits many types of straps and changing them would be facilitated by drilled through lugs. The spring bars are not conducive to easy or quick strap or bracelet removal and changing because they do not have either a well defined shoulder or (preferably) a double shoulder/groove for the spring bar fork to engage with. I love the watch when fitted with the blue nylon strap with formed ends but removal or fitting this strap is frustrating because of those dreadful spring bars- they should be up rated. When I get either quick change leather straps or the clip on type I will be even more happy. Time keeping so far is good, fast by a few seconds a day, not worth bothering about. So I feel the watch is of a unique and eye-catching design - I think the love affair will be long lasting , especially when I acquire various straps.
