Just okay

I had the opportunity to purchase these recently with a mail-in rebate that made them free. So for free - of course I like them. Reality: I’m not usually going to spend $16 on a pack of pens no matter how great they are but what I look for in gel/color pens is their vibrancy on the page and how long they last. These last a decent amount of time but the colors are prettier in the package than on paper. Kind of dull/flat.

Great office pen!

I recently had the opportunity to try BIC® Gel-ocity® Ultra Gel Pens for the first time. I was previously very familiar with BIC® office/writing products, including Gel-ocity® Gel Pens, and was excited to hear that BIC now makes an ultra gel pen!
I am a psychotherapist who works in a practice where we still use paper charts. Therefore, I spend my entire workday with a pen in my hand; and it is essential that my writing instrument possess the following qualities: has a comfortable grip, produces a fine line (ideally prefer between .3 and .5 so that I can make the most use of each piece of paper), dries quickly, and glides smoothly across the paper.
This is how the Gel-ocity® Ultra Gel Pen holds up to my personal standards: In the comfort of grip category, I rate the Gel-ocity® Ultra Gel Pen a 7 (on a Likert scale of 1-10). The barrel is perfect in regards to thickness, and has a nice low grip to control pen movement. As for the thickness of line I give this pen a 5 out of 10 due to it being slightly bolder than I prefer with a medium point .7mm line. In the quick-drying and smoothness categories, I rate this pen a 9 out of 10! It produces an extremely smooth, consistent line that does not smudge or bleed.
After using the BIC® Gel-ocity® Ultra Gel Pen for an entire week, I give it an overall score of 8 out of 10; and would highly recommend this pen to anyone who requires a high-quality, high-performing writing instrument. Along with the original Gel-ocity® Gel Pen, I intend to make the Gel-ocity® Ultra Gel Pen my primary “go to” pen in the office and at home!
