Build Quality(4/4) - The pen will most likely outlive me. The piston works well without any problem. I have seen videos of people disassembling it but I didn't want to do that. Overall Pelikan M800 has a good build quality.
Weight and Balance(3/3) - The pen has a good heft without being heavy. Most of the pen's weight is in the middle portion and disappears while writing. I have written upto 4 A4 size pages without feeling any wrist fatigue.
Appearance and Design(3/3) - If you are looking for a pen you can use in a corporate setting, this may be correct choice. The pen's grey stripes give a executive feel and unlike other colours, it is not too flashy. The design of all M800 is similar with the only complain I have is that of a short section. As this is a piston filler, it has to be dipped in an ink bottle and the ring at the end of section will come in contact with the ink. This may lead to the corrosion of the ring in the long term.
Nib(8/10) - The first thing to notice was how wet the nib is. With wet inks like Diamine the writing experience will be super wet.
