I was bought this pen as a gift through Amazon. I had previously been a fan of one of the competitors but recently their quality has dropped through the floor. This Waterman pen has no quality problems: it is a pleasure to have to use regularly.The pen sits in a presentation box. It is finished in gloss black with gold trim and it looks like a quality item. Its design is not brash or 'in your face' but understated. It achieves, with modern styling, a certain old fashioned presence which invites one to own it and keep it as long-term personal possession.On removing it from the box the first thing to note is that the pen is comparatively heavy: not overly so but enough to persuade me on first handling that it is well and solidly constructed.

I had had about six of these pens over the years (different colours and a couple when I've dropped them on their nibs) and I love them! I've read the comments about poor ink flow but this is not an issue I have had - ever. Each and every time the ink is there immediately, and I often hold it in my hand for some time with the top off and no issues at all. I agree it is quite heavy but this suits me well, and I love the balance. Personally I do not put the top on the end but leave it on the table while I write.I use it for work everyday and it serves me well. It's even been through the washing machine - by accident obviously - and despite a small chip to the enamel continued without a problem,

How good a pen is or is not is such a subjective topic that I am sure that at least as many will disagree with me as agree but here goes...This is an excellent product for the price. It is not the heaviest, nor is it the lightest of pens. In terms of size, its diameter appears to me to sit between those of a Parker Sonnet and a Montblanc Meisterstuck, so it is by no means the slimmest of pens. As you would expect for a pen in this price range it is not made of the finest of materials but the quality is at least as good as it would be reasonable to expect, and it appears to me that it is likely to prove durable. Most importantly, though, this pen is a joy to write with.The pen sits well in my (long-ish)

My husband writes a daily diary and wanted a silver-coloured fountain pen for Christmas. I spent literally HOURS researching types, manufacturers, nibs etc. In the end I settled on Waterman and was impressed by the lovely presentation box which gives it a premium feel. Now that he's been using it for a few weeks I can finally write a review. He tells me that the finish is ideal because it is not too shiny and is therefore easier to hold without having to exert excessive grip. The ink flows steadily without blotching, with only an occasional tiny delay on the upward stroke. I think this is partly his writing style and way he holds the pen, which is impossible to change after 60 years! However,

I ordered this on recommendation from my boss who is a great fountain pen enthusiast.The pen comes in a good plastic box which shows the immense work put in its construction.As soon as i connected the cartridge, the pen started to work.This pen has one of the most amazing grip and it writes like you are writing with a stone on butter. The ink coming out from the medium nib is thick and continuous which gives a great writing experience. The nib has gold coating and looks really great.It was packed in a plastic bag and the plastic case was completely damaged. I had to order a replacement and it was delivered in a good shape but was again in a plastic bag.

A mid-weight and fairly chunky pen that is a delight to use.It accepts both the included converter of the standard fit, but slimmed-down (others using the same fitting will fit into the nib section but not fully within the barrel) and ink cartridges. In addition to the Waterman cartridges, those by Diamine, Herbin and others will offer a far greater colour range and choice.Although the nib is gold in colour, it is steel and gold-plated rather than a gold alloy. Consequently the nib is quite stiff and relatively inflexible but a very smooth and consistent writer. Treat it with care and it will provide good service for many years. In terms of price,

I have used several pens in the sub-£100 bracket but none come close to this. The nib is quite wet and buttery smooth, with a medium line which is a tad on the broad side, but excellent nonetheless. I love the gold and brushed steel look, it is smart and sophisticated.The pen is very nicely balanced, with the centre of mass just on the cap band both when posted and closed, and exactly halfway along the pen when unposted.The grip is very comfortable for long writing sessions - I used it for about two hours straight today - and the cap posts and closes with a satisfying click.All in all a fantastic pen, looks wonderful and is very difficult to beat for the price,

A magnificent fountain pen in all accords. The ink never dries (as it happened with a fountain pen of another brand i had bought from Amazon as well), smooth as velvet on paper and that gold touch makes it an absolute beauty. I have no complaints whatsoever, only good things to say.So why only 4 stars out of 5 ?? Simply because 5 stars should be reserved for the Mont Blanc fountain pens of the higher price range. One can't give them 6 stars out of 5, so 5 should be reserved for them and them alone. That is the only reason, for me there can be no other. For its price, I am wholeheartedly, absolutely, inescapably, unequivocaly ec-bloody-static !!!! And, mind you,

Not sure what pen they were using... but like all ink pens, yes the ink will dry out if you do not use it regularly! What do they expect? This feels like a classy, easy to hold, robust ink pen that will stand the test of time. It's not one of those fancy pants pens that people use for 'show'.This is a pen that will work day in and day out. It's a work horse and built well. The black (my pen) finish is great; polished and does not slip down your fingers when you write for any length of time.I would say this is not a pen you use to show off that you use an Ink Pen. It's a pen that write well and does not make your hand ache after long term use.

I quite like my Waterman. Not quite the same quality as some of the other pens I have [Parker Sonnets & Duofold etc] but then the Waterman Expert is not the same price either. Nib is 'M' but for a medium writes closer to some of the 'F' I have [I'm right handed].I use a Converter in all my pens so in common with most it may not always start first stroke when laid aside for a time.NB: I use Diamine & Quink inks in all my pens so flow rate / 'wetness' is constant across them, despite different colours used - I like to give each pen it's own ink colour.I like the positive click when the cap is fitted either over the nib or to the body when writing, to maintain a pleasant weight and balance.

A lovely pen from the Waterman family. This is a great step up for those who started on the Hemisphere collection and want to move on to the next tier in the Waterman family.The pen writes well and is constructed to the high Waterman standard. The only issues I personally have with the pen is the fact, unlike its cheaper Waterman Hemisphere range, the pen isn't made from metal and therefore is deceptively light.This isn't necessarily a fault of the pen - many may enjoy a lighter pen - but for those who prefer a bit of weight behind their writing I would say to aim for a metal variant.Writing with this pen is comfortable especially being left handed.

Have been using a fountain pen now for close on 50 years. I've had many types of varying quality and value. My favourite for years was a Cross Century, which was sadly lost. On the recommendation of a friend, I bought the Waterman 'Expert', the first Waterman I've owned. I am really delighted with it. It feels a bit lighter overall than my old Cross but feels more balanced and less top-heavy in the hand when writing. It writes silky smooth on quality paper and the 'wetness' seems to be perfect with the standard medium nib. I have no hesitation in recommending this to others who are looking for a quality writing instrument, without breaking the bank.

This pen is harmoniously designed looks-wise and as regards the weight of it. It feels very solid, but not too heavy for writing extensive notes. After I unclogged the feed, flushing it with diluted dish soap and subsequently a bit of ink, the pen writes completely smoothly without skipping even when I write very quickly.I would give it 4.5 stars if I could, since the price is very reasonable indeed, considering the quality. The only imperfection is that it does not facilitate a nicer handwriting for me, whereas I do get this benefit from my other pen, which is a Lamy (a less expensive pen), owing to a more ergonomic grip.

I've never bought a 'good' pen before, and I deliberated on this for a long time. But I'm very glad I treated myself.It glides over the paper and writes very smoothly. It feels nice in the hand, and I find it very comfortable. I usually write with the cap left on the desk, but it works fine for me with the cap on the end of the pen too.The finish on the pen is nice, but not so fine I'm scared of using it. and it's in daily use at work.The presentation box is nice but not extravagant.Overall I'm very pleased with the pen, and I find myself writing more just for the pleasure of using it.
