My favorite pen
on September 26, 2020

My go to was always Zebra's 0.7mm black retractable. Wasn't sure about the 0.8 but i like the 701 so I used it anyway. Now it's definitely my favorite pen. Wish I would quit losing them.

This is my every day pen. It writes smoothly and has just enough heft so you don't feel like you have to press the pen to whatever surface you are writing on. Plus, it is a very stylish pen without being ""fancy"".

I'm clearly the odd one out here, but DO NOT GO TO GEL!!! at least not exclusively. The issue I am running into is that the pen is sold with a .8mm cartridge, but the refills only offer 1.0 or .7mm, no .8mm...???I don't know what is going on there, but I really liked the .8mm. not fine point, not medium point, just a good middle ground. I hope the refills in different sizes fit.

I received this as a gift
on November 7, 2019

I received this as a gift when I turned 18 in back in 2010, and I have loved it ever since. Lately, my refills seem too dry compared to what they used to be. I use this at work to fill in deposits, accounts receivable, etc. because it's 'sharp' and precise. I've noticed it becoming patchy and hard to maintain a solid strong stroke, which is disappointing. Hope we get gel refills or smoother ink. That would make it a 10/10 in my book! Love this pen, and I've even purchased several more as gifts for friends! Also, I've noticed that when I first click it open and put it to paper the tip kind of clicks and retracts a little (as if it's settling into the open position if that makes sense), so I always click the tip out and tap on another piece of paper before I begin writing so it doesn't mess up a deposit log, etc. All in all, it's a nice pen, but there are some small refinements I would love.

Absolutely love this pen

Absolutely love this pen BUT it needs a gel refill. It is the only thing keeping it from total dominance of its market space. Bring us GEL refills...in blue.

Love the feel of this pen

Love the feel of this pen but I was disappointed with the short amount of time before the ink ran out and I can not seem to get it apart to put a refill in...

Why is everyone complaini
on August 27, 2019
Posted by: John
Why is everyone complaining about the ink? The fine point, the ink, and the smooth operation are why I love this pen! Don't change a thing, Zebra, it's perfect!!! I think people are expecting a 1mm medium point, but this isn't that pen (unless you get the 1mm refill ;). If I had ANY complaint about this pen, it would be the false advertising saying that it's ""all metal from tip to clip"". It's not ""all metal"" as the innards are plastic, but it's not like they need to be metal and they don't detract from the pen in any way. Anyway, people need to stop complaining about a technical pen when they wanted a gel pen in the first place. Go buy a gel pen if that's what you want! This is a fine point tech pen. DUH!
