That number is the width of the pen that you would be holding in your hand. That would be pretty cool if they made a pen that writes that wide, it would use alot of ink. If you have any other questions feel free to reach out. **Q: What's the difference between this (Atlantis Velocity) and the Velocity pen?** A: The Atlantis Velocity Bold and the Velocity Bold are the same pen. The Velocity Bold is now known as Atlantis Velocity Bold. **Q: Is this a gel pen?** A: It is not a gel pen. It is a ball point pen with an extra large ball that produces think lines similar to a gel pen. **Q: Are there refills for this pen?** A: I don't know but the price point is low and they write wonderfully. Clear and bold. I hope this helps.. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ a perfect writing tool *by on Reviewed in the United Arab Emirates 7 February 2020* The BIC pen are really good for writing. It is the 1,6mm version I have and I like the way it moves on the paper. ### ⭐ blobs and smears *by on Reviewed in Saudi Arabia 19 October 2022* It blobs and smears ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cumple con su cometido *by on Reviewed in Mexico 28 December 2024* Es un lapicero que cumple con su cometido, es completamente de plástico, hay otros lapiceros de plástico que se sienten con mejor acabado pero éstos no están mal, estos me llegaron sin la bolita protectora que se supone traen en la punta como protección. En cuanto a la escritura están muy bien y se desliza suavemente con buena pigmentación. Son económicos pero con muy buena calidad para escribir. ## Frequently Bought Together - BIC Glide Bold Black Ballpoint Pens, Bold Point (1.6mm), 12-Count Pack, Retractable Ballpoint Pens With Comfortable Full Grip - BIC Glide Bold Blue Ballpoint Pens, Bold Point (1.6mm), 12-Count Pack, Retractable Ballpoint Pens With Comfortable Full Grip --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/315845802-bic-velocity-bold-ball-pen-black](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/315845802-bic-velocity-bold-ball-pen-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-09-20*
