Pros & Cons
Pros
The ink cartridge that comes with it is good, writes very smoothly. The point is very smooth, thanks for *refill. I burn through a refill in under a week usually, and this happens to be for all sort of pens.
I'm a rollerball guy (love fountain pens, but just prefer to edc a nice clicky rollerball) and this one is great. The click mechanism feels smooth and solid and has a satisfying click when you use it. Very sturdy and heavy.
This is my new favourite pen. I even ordered a spare in case anything happens to the original. It's unfortunate there's not more coices in this price range.
I chose this one because of the hexagonal shape and thin barrel. Love the feel and retro styling of this pen.
Cons
Click action is grainy. Feels imprecise and sloppy. What's the point of a $30 pen that doesn't write out of the box, when you can get a bic for about a nickel that does?
Highlights
Quality
Build quality is very good and way superior to the rapid pro
Build quality is i think better than my rotering mech pencil
For a long time i used parker jotters but have found in recent years that the quality is lacking
Compares favorably with the rotring 800 series at half the price
Price
If you like all solid pens this a very nice step up from the new all metal construction of the zebra f701 but the price is a bit more
Packaging/appearance
It was while looking that i cam across the hexomatic
Competitiveness
Purchased this and a rotring rapid pro
Since rotring discontinued the 600 series ballpoint this is the next best alternative that i have found
It reminds me of a german rotring pen
Great sturdy wellmade pen that doesnt cost 100
