I purchased this after conducting many hours of research. For the price, this automatic time piece checks all of the boxes: sapphire crystal, screw down case back, stainless steel construction, 200m ISO certified water resistance, an in-house hacking movement and an assortment of colors. It is a larger watch, and it isn’t lightweight. However, I like the rugged aesthetics and the build quality. No other company offers these features at this price with this quality. I’ve also compliments since I purchased the watch 2 weeks ago.
Everything about the watch is quality. It's top notch. The heavy knurled crown is awesome for grip. Every dive watch should have this. I have noticed after wearing it for a while now that at night the hands are a little hard to see because they are a similar color as the background. This is not the lume mind you because that is excellent as well. I wish the bracelet had the extra locking clasp that folds over for extra security when diving. I actually use this watch to time my dives which means that this goes frequently to 100-130ft. I use a dive computer as well but this lets me know the what time it is on the surface and length of dive.
So much better in person. Was debating this or a Seiko dive and I am happy to say I made the right choice!
Great watch, and well made. I would’ve given it 5 stars but the laser engraved logo on the back of the case has rubbed the hair the hair off my wrist…..perhaps it was etched a little too deep? You can definitely feel the roughness of it.
