Parker Jotter Waterloo Blue CT Ballpoint Pen, Blister pack

Black, blue and red are the Parker Jotter ballpoint pen colors one is likely to find in a store that carries the brand. Unlike what the picture implies, they did NOT come together is an integrated set, but arrived in individual packaging that was diifficult to wrap when I gave the three pens as a gift. Parker Jotters are the best pens available among those affordable to the average person. They write smoothly, but the broad point refills I prefer (generally available on Amazon and pen specialty stores) are even smoother, and the fine point refills many people prefer are a little less smooth. They are also available on Amazon and eBay in an ever-changing array of colors, most of which are exceptionally pleasing to the eye.

This pen is great, which I would definitely hope so for the price. Clicks like a gunshot, quality materials, high quality fit and finish, and a clip that you don't have to physically lift to clip it to something.To take a moment for my random soapbox, I find that so many pens have clips that are so tight you can't just clip the pen to something; you have to either pinch the clip in such a way to force the clip up a bit, or press very hard while holding the material you want to clip to so it won't buckle. It's such a silly thing to like about this pen, but I like that I can tuck it into the spiral of my notebook or into a breast pocket (yes I am a nerd thank you) without having to think about it).It's not a cheap pen (and if you borrow this pen from someone and try to walk away with it, expect a swift and brutal retribution) but buy once, cry once.

This IS your grandfather's Jotter which is exactly what I wanted!! Same great quality, and I ordered another - ONLY because I am notorious for losing pens. LoL

Exactly has advertised

I really like this pen, the click is satisfying and sounds nice and the pen feels premium. However, the ballpoint cartridge it has really feels like a ballpoint. If that style of older ballpoint is for you then fantastic you'll love this. I'm not big on it, gel pens for me as the smoothness helps me write much faster. I bought the gel refill Parker sells, and it's pretty decent but in my opinion isn't as good as the Pilot G2 (though it does dry faster which is very nice).The ergonomics of this are what made me stop using it as my primary pen. I'm a student, and I takes four or five pages or notes basically everyday. After about half an hour of writing with this it gets noticeably harder to hold it properly. The lack of a dedicated grip makes this a pen that isn't suited to my use case, however it may well be for yours.It looks really sleek, and feel premium. So for light note taking, signing, and such this is a fantastic option. For extensive writing over long periods of time, not so much. I should have figured this going in but its looks and feel made me want to make it work, but I can't. Hopefully you can, because this is a great pen especially for the price.

Very good purchase, Parker is top of the line

Love the color of the pen, I have always loved Parker Pens! Parker Pens are for life, they are sturdy and are small enough to carry them anywhere.

I am a big fan of Parker pens. Since I was a little kid, i have always loved Parker Pens. I have collected countless Parker pens over the years and love these newer metallic-like looking barrels with different colors that Parker has come out with. These are just two more added to my collection… love these pens and of course they are great pens to write with. Classic Parker style with newer and nicer look! Love my Parker Pens!!!
