WatermanWaterman Hemisphere Ballpoint Pen | Gloss Black with Chrome Trim | Medium Point | Blue Ink | Gift Box

This pen is really elegant and beautiful. I bought it as a gift for my wife to use in work following a promotion. It is smaller than your average pen, which I knew from other reviews before purchasing, but I went for it anyway because she has small hands. She informs me that the smaller size has meant that she has had to adapt her grip to use it. Nevertheless, she loves it and says that it is a pleasure to write with. The quality appears to be very good; it is sturdy, has a good weight to it and the finish is excellent.The pen comes with blue ink only, so I bought a black refill made by same company in case she would prefer black. I would recommend this pen to anyone who is after a quality writing implement, just bear in mind the size if you have large hands.

This is a fabulous rollerball, well balanced and nice to write with, however I found the supplied fine tip refill very scratchy and quickly replaced it with a medium.

I bought two of these pens.They were thank you presents for two doctors who went over and above in the care of my late husband.I hope they use them and get that people do appreciate them.I thought they were a great well made pen. Stylish and modest.

This pen is very nice. It is smooth, comfortable, reliable. It looks nice. It is just the right thickness for me as I like thin pens. The fine nib is I'd say a F/EF, closer to a Japanese fine nib than a European fine, and writes very smoothly. It is what people refer to as a 'wet writer' but not so much so as to dump ink at every stroke, still it's a bit too wet for photocopy paper and will bleed and feather with most inks. The barrel and cap are nicely painted metal in a neat matte black, but the section is molded plastic - complete with mold lines. It is slick looks tacky and feels cheap. In ever other regard this pen tops comparable Parker, Lamy, and Fabre-castel pens I own, but the section just lets it down. It is disappointing, however the pen still performs well for short term writing and is enjoyable to use.For long letters, or essay writing the slick section may cause slipping.

Very nice to use

This would make a wonderful gift or addition to your office! Once you get used to it it’s very nice to write with, depending how you write though you might have ink flow issues, I did at the start but they’ve since stopped. Works nicely with refillable cartridges

Slim and elegant. Definitely for a female. Just gorgeous.

I ordered this pen to replace a Cross fountain pen which was annoying me (it was scratchy, and if I didn't use it for a couple of days the ink dried up in the feed and it had to be washed to get it flowing again). I had only tried one Waterman pen before, and not liked it much as it was a very wide barrel and made my hand tired, but having seen a couple of clips on YouTube and read some reviews on pen sites, I thought I'd give this one a go.I'm so glad I did! It writes really smoothly, which is a bonus as being left-handed I find that pushing pens across the page often means they scratch or snag on the paper. I chose a fine nib as my writing is quite small and I hate the "filling in" of the letters, and this also can mean a pen is scratchier. Full marks for smoothness, then.I have also just had a quick scribble after not using the pen for almost a week. The ink still flows. Marvellous!So, it works. Beautifully. And it looks beautiful too. The barrel is slim enough to hold comfortably, especially for a woman, and it is well balanced in the hand. The matt black with gold trim is very smart and doesn't show finger marks like the shiny ones do.All in all, a superb pen, and fast delivery too. All the way from France in a week. Can't complain at that!

Me Gusto...el sentir como se escribe es increible ¡¡¡

Waterman and Cross are the best value for quality pens, just pick the one with the style/color you prefer. Great gift for a graduate, or new job, or just to get yourself a quality pen. Been using both for over 40 years

As a long-time Waterman fan, I’m surprised by this pen. Modern pens often feel cheaply made, but this one stands out with its impressive design and excellent writing performance. It truly meets the high standards I expect from Waterman. Great quality at a great price.

Purchased this for a gift - first from an authorized dealer in Waterman. They could not deliver as there were backlogs from the UK. Finally, found it here on Amazon and ordered it. Delivered without issue; it's an original (I checked with Waterman, UK) and at a good price. Pen is absolutely wonderful. Sturdy, writes smoothly, beautifully made.
