Elegant, Useful, and Superior. These are the three words that describe the Cadence 4:20 Classic watch in my opinion and I truly believe that the watch is a testament to how the company manages its products, from production to shipping. The unit that I received came in an orange gift box and the minute I opened it up, I knew there was something special about it, from the leather band to the ticking hands on the face. With that, let’s take a look at some of the pros and cons of the watch. As I mentioned before, the watch has a elegant vibe that you get as soon as you open up the box, and one of the best things that I loved about the watch is the presentation of it.
“If you think 4:20 is the most important time of day, this watch is for you. If you have no idea why 4:20 is a special time of day, there is nothing here for you.”
The watch was laid out with the leather band spread out in the gift box. Picking it up, I felt that it had the perfect weight, and the feel of the stainless steel and the leather bands had the perfect balance. After I put it on, however, I noticed a few things that I disliked compared to some of the other watches that I’ve used in the past. The leather band was my favorite thing and it fit perfectly, however, I felt that some of the corners of the watch (the piece the band was attached to) were a little bit oddly shaped, poking at your wrist if you moved your hand at certain angles. Another thing I noticed about the watch was its lack of numbers, something which most of the Cadence watches are missing. While it may seem that I’m being nitpicky and these can be classified as higher end watches, I felt that for the price, most people would want numbers on the watch.
Cadence’s naming of the watch was superb, calling it 4:20 after the time when most people are taking a break from their daily lives, noticing that their long day of work is almost over, or getting ready for something special. It’s something that made me go, “wow, I never realized 4:20 was of such importance in my life, until now”. The 4:20 classic is made of stainless steel, has a leather strap. measures a 40 mm diameter, 9 mm thick and uses Miyota movement (Japan) to keep the hands ticking. It’s definetely in a whole class by itself and sets itself apart from other watches out on the market, many of which boast the location from which their watch was imported or what materials were used. Cadence keeps it simple, hihlighting 4:20, giving it a classic watch look, and makes it sexy enough to appeal to many different types of people. For me, the watch was one of the better ones I’ve used, and the pros outweighed the cons.
The Cadence 4:20 Classic Watch can be bought on their website for $85.00USD.
