Boldr Venture

It features a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and 200m water resistance, making it suitable for daily wear. The included Expedition Canvas Strap is described as beautiful and comfortable.

From video reviewers

The 38mm case size is a significant strength, catering to smaller wrists. The lume is outstanding. The smaller case size is a potential drawback.
