I absolutely love it! The color is stunning and looks even better in person than in pictures
A bargain for a in house micro rotor movement with distinctive design by Alain Silberstein. It would have been perfect if the movement is equipped with stop seconds function.
Received my new Yema Superman Worldtime GMT with their 3000 series movement from the factory site, and am super-impressed.
PRESENTATION: The finish on the steel surfaces is outstanding. Very luxurious brushed effects that subtly catch light- the watch looks very high-end. The double-domed sapphire crystal catches & plays with light in ways that really contrast well with the dial face....and the lume glows brightly all night when charged.
FUNCTIONS: Yema has clearly done some VERY effective upgrades to their 3000 series mechanism over the years. The crown action, winding, date change, and GMT hand all match anything coming out of a Swiss shop for smoothness- at any price point. And the accuracy.... it's still early days, but so far, there's been zero drift since I first set it....My Tudor and Hamilton could both have taken lessons from Yema- they were never this accurate out of the box. (Especially the Tudor, quite frankly).
COMFORT: The Yema oyster style bracelet on this watch has a pin & collar design instead of just basic cotter pins- needs a bit more attention when changing links, but then the links drape very fluidly. And the links are small, with plenty being removable, so I was able to get this thing seated quite comfortably on my scrawny wrist. Even the clasp action is noticeably precise and tight.
Now that I have the watch in person, I can see if I'd paid the list price I'd have thought it a decent enough bargain....but with the sale price......I did really well....!! Couldn't be happier :-)
I communicated for several days with the staff at Yema using both the online chat and email.
Everyone was really helpful.
I finally committed to buying the Granvelle in green.
It is a beautiful looking watch that will grace any formal occasion. I will not use this watch on a day to day basis as it looks too good and I want to keep it looking special.
As I bought the watch online I had to take it to a local watch repairer to have the correct size deployant strap fitted.
It took him 10 minutes and was worth it to have the strap fitted by a professional.
This is something you have to factor in if you are going to buy a watch online line whatever the brand.
I think the deployant clasp really compliments this watch and am pleased that I chose it.
I’ve not had the watch long enough to comment on the performance of the in house movement.
Yema have made a positive impression on me.
I would certainly recommended that you take some time to look at their product range. You will find one in the Granvelle range to complement your special celebration.
The Yema Navygraph Barracuda is a beautifull tool-watch which is very comfortable to wear = 5 stars. The unique design of every dial is much more attractive live in comparison to the pictures on the Yema-website = 5 stars. Engineering quality = 5 stars. The only disadvantage, at least in my case, was the impossibility to shorten the stainless steel bracelet = 0 stars. Finally this had to be done by my watch dealer.

Excellent customer service. As a prospective first time buyer of their products, any and all questions I had regarding the watches were answered in full very quickly after sending inquiries. Having daily worn the Superman Slim for a week at the office and a week on beach holiday, the watch is a great all day desk diver and light swim/snorkeling companion.
Whee do I begin. I ordered a watch on July 24th there website said shipping end of July, it is now August 6 and still no shipping. Every time I speak with someone they say workshop is closed and they will contact me by email. Just checked again still showing unfulfilled, supposedly shipping tomorrow but I am not confident it will. Be very Leary of this company, if it doesn’t ship tomorrow I w have to get the credit card company involved to get my money back. I would not order anything from Yuma again.

I am very pleased with my new beautiful watch.
It seems to be made to a very high standard with a very friendly and colourful face/ design.
Shopping online is always full of potential risks, but with Yema everything it's ok all the times. So I trust them and I love their watches
I preordered a beautiful watch from YEMA, and it was delivered with only a minor delay. The watch is truly fantastic and something special. I hope the watch is as reliable and great-working as my other YEMA watches.
YEMA is really something special and worthy a try!
Overall very good experience from order to delivery. The watch is great, very well finished and unique with the camo case and whereas I normally do not buy watches with quartz movement, at this price point this is an excellent watch
From my initial contact with this company through to receiving my watch, the Yema representatives were brilliant. They answered my questions clearly, politely, professionally and extremely quickly. My new watch even arrived ahead of the advised scheduled delivery date. It was well packaged and from the moment I opened the outer packaging I was extremely impressed with the quality of both the watch box and of course the watch itself. My only observation so far [and this is symptomatic of todays digital world] there was no printed user manual as part of the delivery. And while It is all on line, it not in a downloadable pdf format. Food for thought on Yema's behalf perhaps.
