## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Superb and classy but be aware of nib issues.
  

*by A***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 27 March 2018*

Already owning a Waterman Carene Black Lacquer Silver Trim I decided to purchase a Carene Essential Silver Wave. The Carene is one of the nicest fountain pens out there. Classy looking and a beautifully smooth writer and the aesthetics of the Silver Wave tick all the boxes.However the nib was considerably narrower than my own model and wrote more like a fine nib. Also it became obvious very quickly that the nib leaked ink. Right from the first fill I had an issue. I tried to tough it out for a day or two in the hope it would settle but it didn't. In the end I had to reluctantly return it for a refund.The Carene is a beautiful pen to write with and to look at but reading around there are issues with the nibs so beware. If you get a good model it is brilliant but frustrating if you get a less than perfect example. I give this 4 stars overall because I have a 5 star model but I bought a second model that was mechanically just about 3 stars.

Once I got over the fact that it is not the nice mid grey colour it looks in the image - it is charcoal and looks almost navy in some light- I was quite pleased with it. Has a smart matt finish, is comfortable to hold and writes very smoothly, compact as opposed to large. I usually use black ink but the enclosed 'serenity blue' ink cartridge is quite nice. Comes in a suedette-lined blue presentation box with compartment for cartridge etc. I was concerned no invoice enclosed but original order confirmation can be used for warranty purpose, I am assured by the nice people at Watermans. Hopefully, anything I write with it will not be as uninteresting as the above. Star missing for the angst it caused me over colour difference and missing invoice.

    A lovely pen, but it fell apart and Waterman will not repair or replace it.
  

*by S***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 22 November 2020*

I bought this pen as a long term keepsake with the proceeds of a long service award, expecting it to last a lifetime.It was a lovely pen, nice to hold and beautifully smooth to write with. I looked after it well, always kept it in the presentation box, always used genuine Waterman inks, and never dropped it. However, it developed a crack all the way around the nib barrel, which can only have been the result of a manufacturing or material defect, so the pen is now useless unless the nib is replaced (about £90). For such an expensive fine writing instrument this has clearly not lasted a reasonable length of time. I have complained several times to Waterman who have so far not offered to repair or replace the pen or nib. Their best offer amounts to selling me a new pen at a discount of 15% compared to the Amazon price.If you are considering buying a fine writing instrument for yourself, or as a gift, I would advise avoiding Waterman, as this premature failure combined with Waterman refusing to repair or replace, has destroyed my confidence in their brand.Update: Waterman have now told me that this is NOT a manufacturing defect! Therefore we have to conclude that ANY of their pens could suffer a similar catastrophic failure in normal use. DO NOT BUY!
