PROS:
(1) The proprietary Waterman stainless steel nib provides a smooth, wet, crisp, reliable line using a standard international ink converter and Noodler's ink.
(2) The plastic body can be carried in a pocket, bag, backpack, or attaché case without high risk of damage, unlike expensive fountain pens which scratch or deface easily.
(3) The cap posts and closes securely.
(4) The translucent body allows visual evaluation of the ink supply, so you know how much ink you have and its color without having to open up the barrel or write with it.
(5) The spring-tension clip works nicely.
(6) The full size is comfortable even for larger hands like mine.
CONS:
(1) Obviously a low-end fountain pen, so you won't really impress anyone with its apparent luxury.
For me, the pros far outweigh the cons. If you want a cheap pen that might look expensive you're better off with a Jinhao, but it won't write as well as this pen does. I'd take a Waterman Kultur over a Jinhao any day.
Don't get me wrong: I don't expect a Waterman on the lowest end of the pricing scale to perform the same as one on the highest end, but it is a Waterman after all, and there should be standards that apply to all their products. This was very frustrating because I LOVE the way this pen writes. LOVE IT.
I finally landed on the solution--I turned it into an eyedropper fill by using a little silicone grease. I didn't even need an O-ring to beef up the seal because the body and the section fit together so tightly. Now, not only does the pen not leak, it holds a seriously large amount of ink.
This solution wouldn't be for everyone, but it worked for me after some months of frustration. Now I can give the pen four stars with a clear conscience. I can't give it five, because it doesn't perform 'out of the box' as I would expect a Waterman to do, but it definitely is a wonderful writer. I would highly recommend it as a great everyday pen once converted to eye dropper fill, because of the volume it will hold and because it's inexpensive. It might not be a great starter pen for someone trying fountain pens for the first time simply because of the leaking issue, but for someone like me who regularly uses 5-7 pens a day with different colored inks and has owned fountain pens for a little while, it's a great addition to my arsenal.

Übrigens - nie habe ich dermaßen viele und enorme Preisschwankungen erlebt, wie bei diesen transparenten Waterman-Füllern. Ich habe nur einen Bruchteil des derzeitigen Preises bezahlt. Unter 20 Euro.
Although the photos of the pen give it a 'biroish' appearance, the casing is actually well-finished, clean, and diverse.
