The Pro Bullet Dotted Journal, 150gsm A5 Notebook, Black

Absolutely love these dotted journals, now on my 5th and will only use these moving forward. I have tried many brands but this one has uniquely thick ivory paper that can hold fountain pen ink and fine liners with zero bleed or transfer through the page. The PU cover is thick, well made with a plentiful pocket at the back. The double place saver with ribbon and elastic is great for my journaling holding two pages for easy quick access . I like the absence of any branding or logo on the front too. Wish there were a few more plain colours available.

High quality journal. I was looking at journals both in store and online. I find this is good value for money (got it for 11 pounds). Paper is thick. Good for sketching, crafting, ink, glue and writing. Lots of pages as well.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Beautifully Made and Perfect for Bullet Journaling I’ve been using the Ottergami Dotted Notebook for over a month now, and it has genuinely become one of my favorite journaling tools. 🤔First impressions: The packaging was minimal but protective, and the notebook itself has a premium feel. The hardback cover feels sturdy without being bulky, and the linen texture gives it a sophisticated look. It really does feel like a product made with care. 📝Paper quality: This is where the notebook really shines. The 150gsm pages are thick and buttery smooth—perfect for pens, markers, and even light watercolor. I’ve tested it with fountain pens, gel pens, and brush pens, and there’s absolutely no bleed-through or ghosting. That’s a game-changer for bullet journalers. 📖Layout and dots: The dot grid is subtle but easy to see, and it's spaced evenly (5mm), making it great for layouts, graphs, and artistic spreads. The notebook lays flat beautifully, which is something I always look for, and the dual ribbon bookmarks are a nice practical touch. Other features I love: ✅The numbered pages make indexing easy. ✅There’s a built-in expandable pocket at the back for stickers or notes. ✅The elastic closure band is strong and doesn’t loosen with use. ✅It even came with a few helpful journaling guides and prompts to get started. ✅I'm personally rather fond of the deep blue colour Downsides?: Honestly, none that are dealbreakers. If I had to nitpick, I’d say I wish there were more color options or maybe a version with perforated pages. But that’s just personal preference. ⚖️🤔Final thoughts: This is a well-thought-out and high-quality notebook that will be perfect for bullet journaling, creative planning, or note-taking. I’ll definitely be buying more as aside from personal use, I think these make for great value gifts due to their versatility and functionality.

I bought this journal because I needed a new bullet journal for the new year. I wanted a journal that didn't have crisp white pages but still had thick and good paper quality so that my pens won't bleed through. This is exactly what I was looking for! It has light ivory pages (not too yellowish or cream color for me) and 192 pages so it will last the whole year. I was concerned how dark the dots would be because some reviews said that they were really dark but I was glad to find out that they are not that dark. They are slightly larger and darker color than for example Archer and Olive notebooks but lighter than my first Lemome notebook dots so I really like it. On few pages the dots don't align perfectly but that doesn't bother me. I would highly recommend this for anyone!

I absolutely love this journal, for the money it is absolutely incredible quality. The cover is vegan leather and is lovely and smooth and not grainy to the touch like some can be, the paper quality is brilliant so far too! I’ve been using pens, artists pens and gel pens too and there’s zero bleeding into the next page. The dots aren’t too dark so can easily be written over if you want to, there’s also a wee pocket at the back and the strap that goes around it seems good quality and not too loose! Overall, I’m super impressed with this journal (I’m using it as a book journal) and would definitely buy again!

Very happy with my Ottergami bullet dotted journal set. The hardcover feels sturdy and the paper quality is excellent, with minimal bleed-through. Clean, well-spaced dots and a simple design make it ideal for both planning and journaling.

I bought this to use as a journal after looking at a number of options and I couldn't be happier. The paper is excellent, smooth, and great to write on with a fountain pen. It's a very light ivory, not too yellow and easy on the eyes. There's also no bleed through, even with my fine liners which are notorious for it. The dots are spot on too, helpful guides for drawing and writing, yet unintrisive. The faux leather is soft to the touch and makes the whole book feel good in the hand. The sewn binding also allows the book to lay flat when open and has pleasing red and white sewn endbands. It came beautifully presented, wrapped inside a sturdy box, and would make an excellent gift. I'll definitely be buying this again and I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a fantastic quality notebook or journal, whether for themselves or as a gift for someone else.

These journals are amazing! The pages are thick and tough and I've found that watercolour paints don't bleed through so I can add paintings to my journalling. There are so many pages that the book will last a long time and the cover is strong and good quality so it will take me leaning on it and sliding it about my desk whilst writing without the edges getting damaged or scuffed. The folder at the back has plenty of space for various notes and the elastic holder is tight and hasn't loosened out as I've been using it. The dots are clear to see but don't distract from my designs too so I can draw out date boxes and tracker images without the dots showing on the edges. I loved this book so much I have ordered another one since and I've asked a friend for one as a Christmas present with some other bullet journal accessories!

Quality notebook, well thought details. I like the pen holder, rulers and templates inside the back pocket.

Lo ame nada más tenerlo en la mano, páginas gruesas, buena cantidad y una calidad impresionante, cuando se me acabar mi diario repetiré.

Good quality. Nice colour Enough pages to cover the whole year with weeklt logs and others. Thick,dotted,non ghosting paper. Very enjoyable

As soon as I pulled this out of it’s shipping box I was immediately impressed. I wasn’t expecting great quality anything because in my head I was just ordering a cheap little journal from Amazon, but that is such an underestimation of this product. It came three days sooner than I was expecting it, first of all, which was an automatic plus. Then it came in a beautiful gift box with custom tissue on the inside, which made me feel like I was opening a luxury good! The journal itself is unlike any journal I’ve had before at this price point; the cover is thick and sturdy, it seems like it’ll do a good job protecting the pages for quite a long time, and the color of the print is vibrant too (I’m also obsessed with the little otter logo, so cute!). The paper is really thick and well made, and the dots are printed dark enough to be seen, but small and light enough that if & when I want to cover them that won’t be an issue or cause any distractions from the content of the page. Those are the features that are most important to me, and the pocket and the freebie stencils are just a really cool plus. The pocket seems nice and spacious and is made of the same high-quality card that the inside of the cover is. Overall I am beyond pleased with my purchase, and I will definitely be buying more journals from this seller in the future, as well as recommending them to all my friends! Thank you!

The cover was there and said the GSM is 150 but that is not the truth. It might be 120 gsm maybe but it is not bleed proof
