In this Bertucci watches review video, I analyze Bertucci field watches, to see if they are worth buying. The two models are the A-1S and the A-2T, but is either watch worth buying? The former is 36mm in steel, while the latter is a 40mm titanium version. Are Bertucci watches any good? Let's find out after a quick unboxing!

I lost a couple of watches due to spring bar failure when mountain biking and so found Bertucci after some research. No problems since then. My A-1S has been my go-to rough use watch for almost a decade now and is still going strong. A couple of battery changes over the years and that's it. I have it on a black Eulit Perlon strap, which is very thin, very strong, and excellent for sweaty, dirty activities like mountain biking. Bertucci really is the King of rough use watches.

Bertucci is my field watch of choice for use as an actual field watch and not just a fashion statement. It's affordable so if I damage it while hiking or camping I'm not losing several hundred dollars as I would for most Hamiltons, Citizens, or Seikos in the field watch category. It was originally an Amazon impulse buy, but it became the watch I have on my wrist most of of the time I'm in the outdoors.

Good review of Bertucci watches. I'm in Toronto Canada. I recently (Dec 2022) Amazon bought a Bertucci A-3P Sportsman watch ($90 CAD, $66 USD, £53 UK) and a Casio Duro ($97 CAD, $72 USD, £57 UK). Both prices include tax/duty. Now (April 2023) the Bertucci is ($107 CAD, $79 USD, £63 UK). Both watches are pretty nice "beater" watches, good value watches for the money. I prefer my Bertucci over my Duro, mainly because the Bertucci weighs less. One thing that stands out to me is that the lume on my Bertucci is way better than on the Casio Duro.

This Christmas, my wife who knows nothing about watches, but knows I love watches, on her own researched and gave me a Hamilton Field Mechanical under the tree. It’s incredible, and cures me of needing any more field watches ever. It’s that good. Having said that, I’ll always see your content to the end because I enjoy your work that much. Cheers.

I did end up picking one of these up after the last review. Terrific field watch so far. Good points about having solar and sapphire glass. If those features were present I’d likely had gone for that model. It’s unfortunate that the smaller form factor is restricted to either the resin or polished steel. The steel has a really good feature set, but is awfully reflective for a functional watch. The resin is better in this regard, but I question how strong it is, especially when it comes to the lugs. It also happens to lack as much water resistance (only 50m). TLDR I’m happy with it, and would buy another if they applied some upgrades at a reasonable price.

There are a few places online you can find these field watches without the inflated prices mentioned. I think it was said in jest, but all things considered, I do think the price hikes have a lot to do with simply global inflation. I picked mine up from Long Island Watch for around $130 after a discount offered. So like most of us have expereinced before, if you wait, you can pick one of these up for a more acceptable price. As far as build and design I don't think they beat the Lorus you reviewed so long ago. I still think that is the best field watch for the money. However, the Bertucci is better than most, if not all Timex explorers, in my humble opinion. The second hand on most Timex watches are a wobbly mess and my Bertucci has a pretty sold second hand. Great review, you certainly highlighted the best points of this watch as well as lamented on it's flaw.
@defender1006
@defender1006 Год назад
I have three Bertucci watches and they are great, especially for anyone doing 'harsh outdoor activities' etc. Other than an occasional battery change they just keep running and without the major weak point of many/most watches, there are no spring bars/pins to break? Plus their straps are tough, yes they're thicker than many, they to just work. No not the most accurate, brilliant, pretty, technically advanced watch in the world, BUT they just work, yes a solar powered/Eco-Drive version would be just awesome!!!!
@franciscopetiton6478
@franciscopetiton6478 Год назад
After my Timex expedition scout finally stopped working (the crown fell off several times) i searched for another cheap field watch in 40mm size and it was imposible to find anything in the sub 120 usd, everything is too big or too small, so i got the A2S Field, Bertucci is the only company that give options to people in both size and materias, so kudos to Bertucci, also the screw down crown give confidence.

I own a Bertuchi A-2S with a green seatbelt NATO as my EDC watch but just got an A2-R with the black face as my work watch so that I have something lighter and something I am less worry about bumping around while working in the kitchen. I am absolutely in love with Bertuchi I just wish they would offer double loop NATO straps.

It's the only way for watches to sit comfortably on my wrist. Unusual ???? Keep up the great work !

The Hoween (brand name) leather is very thick, the 44mm is very comfortable to read for 7.75" wrist, I have the A4T super yankee, and the lume is disappointing. Nato straps works well with reducing the height on the watch. If you really need lume, I would go with the indiglo model. What's nice about the fixed bar, is that you can make a strap from 1 inch tie down strap, or 550 cord the watch, and d-ring to the pack.

I do have an A4T Ti Bertucci with a leather strap that has screws to attach as well as a nylon strap, 24mm wide so not very usable on other watches. It has a swiss movement so the alignment issue is not there but it's not cheap. What lead me there is an A3P which has all the issues you mention. Great watches though.

April 2024. I purchased the DX3 model. I had wanted to get into solar watches, but the minimum bump up in price was $100 which pays for many battery changes. It was a pleasant surprise to learn that this watch had an estimated 4 years (not the usual two year estimate) of battery life.

I own two of these and love them. One has the nylon web band with a compass (added by me) and the other has a leather band, which I use as my dress up time piece. I bought a third (polymer) watch for my son (Army), and he loves it as well. Five things that are the sales clinchers for me, are: 1) solid titanium case w/screw down titanium back; 2) the offset (lowered) protected crystal (since I wear the watch on the inside of my wrist, I tend to crack the crystals more, but not since wearing a Bertucci for three plus years); 3) solid lugs; 4) a screw down crown that is at the 4 o'clock rather than the 3 o'clock position; 5) a quartz movement. These five points out way any perceived negatives...

Hello Ben. I always enjoy your vids. I have fallen deeply down the same rabbit hole as you and your followers. Vostok, Casio, Orient, Bulova, Hamilton, Rotary, Merkur, Shinola, Pagani, Timex, San Martin and Mondaine constitute my collection. My question to you is: If you didn't have any watches at all, which 3 (or 5, take your pick) would you choose? I ask, mainly, because, having about 50 watches and only 2 wrists, I would like some guidance on this matter, please. I dare say your viewers would, too. Keep on keeping on. Best. Mark - a Londoner living in Berlin. PS: Personally, I'd go Oris Big Crown Pointer Date (Roberto Clemente) - the grail, Tissot PRX Automatic (white dial with rose gold), and a Bulova Accutron. Must make room for a Casio Royale, as a beater watch, one that I already own. That's not to forget that I'm very happy with much of what I've collected to date. I'm a sucker for a small seconds complication, by the way.

Hey Ben, you should take a look at the Contar MK1 field watch, it's a Portugese microbrand that only sells that single watch. Quartz, titanium, sapphire field watch with (I believe) the same movement as a Baltany D12 watch. Relatively cheap too! Would be interested in your thoughts about it since it has been barely covered at all. Picked one up myself and I like it personally. I actually picked up a bertucci A-2T and found the same issues that you did, especially with the case finishing which was the most disappointing so I returned it. Didn't like that for $210 CAD

I love my Bertucci. Mine is titanium, with date, 200m water resistance. I have the mineral crystal, Japanese movement, and 3 year battery. I have had over 4 years and battery still going strong. It is my daily wearer as it is so lightweight and comfortable and I can swim in it. I paid brand new $125 for it when I got it. It now sells for $155 good for me, not so good for new buyers. Regardless it is still a good value at that price as it is tough to get a nice looking field watch, with 200m, date, and titanium for under $200. Mine came with black strap and I also have a blue and gray striped strap. The straps are super comfortable and super easy to clean and swap out. I am thinking of getting the one with the sapphire crystal and 10 year battery. If I do I would probably give this one away.

Had my eye on these for years but the lugs always put me off. Good looking watches though for sure and right up my alley. As to the finishing between the lugs - Vostoks take the crown here. Rough as a badgers ass is being generous! (I've bought loads of 'em!). Timex 'standard' grade watches are really junky watches in my opinion. As you mentioned, chromed brass and very shaky second hand recoil doesn't instill confidence. I'd now never buy a normal (quartz) Timex based on my past purchases. Nice review Ben 👍

They used to sell automatic watches also. If they went solar you would never need another field watch again. I like 'no day and date' military style so Bertucci has some options. I love the fixed (machined) spring bars. That Timex solar looks great but is not available. The S1 field watch (36mm case) is not available. So besides price due to inflation I think availability is the biggest problem. Both for Bertucci and Timex. At least in Europe.

I own three without any problems at all. For $40 who expects perfection? Don't go with the cheapest I bought mine with the "Ameriquartz" movements. They're made in Arizona USA (movements) Watches made is Asia. They hit every marker. These watches don't have a HUGE problem.

I’ve had a Bertucci for a couple of years as my daily watch. I highly recommend them. I work in boilers and this watch is tough and accurate, comfortable to wear. Perfect tool watch.

For about the price of one of these at the moment, I'd recommend the Citizen BM8180 and AT0200. They're great little watches, and Eco-drive beats a basic Miyota any day of the week (not that the Miyotas are bad for what they are).

i just picked up the Bertucci DX3 glow watch and i cant fault it, very strong luminosity with the hands, less so with the case but it looks rather neat, a very striking looking watch and its looks like it can handle some knocks. As long as the lugs dont snap everything should be good

@2:12 Well, the man who discovered the element named it "Aluminum" (Who was English btw) and both the UK and US called it that for a while. It was only changed to Aluminium after an anonymous contributor changed the spelling to "Aluminium" in an English literary journal and the spelling just stuck in the UK and most of Europe. Said journal was never published in North America so they never changed the official spelling. So I personally believe the original name it was MEANT to have is correct. Which is Aluminum.

@@narabdela How so? There are many sources that say sir Humphry Davy originally called it "Alumium" and switched it to "Aluminum" shortly afterwards. Then settled on Aluminium after seeing the suggested spelling in an English literary journal and agreeing with it. It was called "Aluminum" in England for around 5 years up until then.

​@@dacasman So, if the proper English version is "Aluminium", then "Aluminum" can't be right. Case closed.

Nice video, thanks for that! I´m into field and military-style watches. My handicap is my 21.5 inch wrist - and there are a lot of nice 36 to 38mm watches outside... So I was pleased to see you refering to the bigger versions of Bertucci. But then I looked at the Bertucci A-5S in 45mm --- for 439 Euro!!!!!!!!!! Which drugs are served there ❓❓❓ Thanks, Ben, looking forward to your next video 👍

These are some of the neatest watches you shown in quite a while. They are a bit expensive. If I wanted a high-quality field watch it an excellent price I would definitely consider an islander instead.

I bought and sold one. It is not a bad watch when you consider the price, but it just felt too cheap... In my opinion it is a good option if you need a real beater or for a teen's first watch. Much like a Timex it will come down to the right price, as Ben points out.
