WatermanHémisphère RollerBall Pen, Stainless Steel with 23k Gold Trim, Fine Point, Black Ink, Gift Box

This is a great pen if you are looking for an affordable luxury rollerball pen. It has a nice weight for easy handling, clean writing, and a solid construction. The ink flow when writing is very smooth.

I liked the brushed stainless steel gold trim version of this pen so much that I had to buy the black lacquer, too. A very slim, light weight, elegantly-styled pen. Diameter at the grip is only about 8 mm, so may feel too small for men with large hands, but it's perfect for people like me who prefer a thinner, lighter metal-body pen. I really don't care for the included "Fine" Waterman rollerball ink cartridge, which I would call "Bold." Fortunately, in addition to the Waterman refills that the pen is designed to use, this pen body will also accept Uni-Ball Jetstream or Pilot G-2 refills with no modification, and can use Uni-Ball Signo 207 or Pentel EnerGel refills if you trim a bit of plastic (about 2 mm) from the end of the refill. With this slim pen, a micro-fine 0.38mm Pilot G-2 refill is just about perfect for me. My two Waterman Hémisphères are my new favorite pens for business meetings or formal settings. Very nice gift box, too.Update 12/2/21: After adding the blue lacquer and the stainless steel chrome trim pens to my collection, I now own this pen in four finishes. In addition to the refills mentioned in my original review, the Hémisphère also takes Pilot Precise V5 RT rollerball refills with no modification, providing a finer point alternative for people who like rollerball ink refills.

I purchased this upscale Waterman pen for my daughter-in-law for her recent promotion. It is beautifully designed, slim and is a fine point pen with black ink. It also came in a luxury gift box. I highly recommend this Waterman rollerball pen to anyone looking for a gift for that special person.

This pen has some weight to it, is well balanced and is a great Christmas gift to those in the working sector. It writes amazing!I highly recommend this pen to anyone! Waterman is the best of the best!

This pen is gorgeous. The gold-colored parts look real and not cheap at all, and even the steel-colored sections have a brushed finish but comfortably smooth feel. While it's heavier than a Bic pen, this does overall feel very light and elegant for a more heavy-duty luxury pen. It also writes very well and doesn't bleed like cheaper roller ball pens ted to do after regular use.The bad? The gold-colored metal pieces tend to tarnish fairly quick, mainly on the clip for mine. The actual section you hold the pen at it a little small, so people with bigger hands or fingers may have difficulty holding this comfortably. Honestly, I have smaller hands, and it feels like I have to squeeze my fingers together to get a decent grip. Speaking of which, the grip itself is not the most comfortable, and may affect how well you write with it. While the actual inflow is decent, I feel like I run out of ink in my refills faster than some other pens of this type, which is annoying when Waterman refills tend to be slightly more expensive than generic brands. Though you don't need to buy Waterman refills any more than you need to spend this much on a pen.

I bought this pen because it was supposed to be a roller ball pen. I was disappointed that it is a ballpoint

Writes smoothly and without skips. Highly recommend.

I gave this pen to my son for Christmas and he loved it
