Just received mine a few days ago. Absolute beautiful piece. Got mine for $47 insane price for this quality of a watch.

Thanks for the review. My favorite strap is the first one you show, the tan one. I have this watch in my list and I might go for it on the next AE sale. I hope that Ixdao makes improvements before. They’re already working on a no date magnifier version but it seems that they have other bigger issues to fix.

I have the thorn equivalent in titanium,the Matt bezel on the SN looks better

You can actually remove quick release spring bar fairly easy. Look up how to do it on KZbin

you’re literally my comfort person i love you kislux !

I propose we pronounce it as BET-eh-mer instead of Bet-TIMER. If we can't change the name, we should change the pronunciation.

Unfortunatly blue version is not available yet

You do have an option on the strap.. Buy one that fits you!

I own this watch and love it

I need titanium solid color. All titanium bezel and dial.

Nice, actually considering this but I fear that buying this might make me remember that I have a fake watch hahahaha

What the hell that thing is beautiful, this is the perfect work watch

Too bad about that lume.....

You got the black and red you wanted lol

Is it posible to precharging spring manualy, or is only for automatic charging?

The logo is perfect in my opinion.

I don't really like the style of this watch. But the name is killer for an aliexpress watch.

Lume should be sorted before production also at this price point should be on the bezel also.upgrade bracelet or offer cheaper option for watch on leather or nato strap

Whats your wrist size sir?

How do they compare to CWC and MWC military watches. Can’t afford either so looking for a good alternative. Anyone gives me a honest rundown I would be grateful as I’m suspicious of Far Eastern products!!!!

Nice review, this is really a no brainer for the money, i was looking at the rdunae version of this but the militado has far better specs, though i do wish it was 36mm, anyway great review and im subbed, cheers.

Must have a lemon. Bezel action is awful. Can barely turn it. Not much satisfaction from the manufacturer. Won't be returning to this brand.

I noticed the Tudor pelagos FXD bezels are different between the black and blue models. Some section have 3 hash marks, while some have 4, but all of them had the 4 hash marks at bith side of the "0" at the 12 o clock.

Ixdao with logo has incredible quality and offered with Swiss movement too if this gets close to this I’ll be buying but need to get rid of the name first

tenho interesse

They need to change company name and use of two indexes at 12 o'clock instead of a logo. Also removing the date display would make the dial more symmetrical. Better mechanism like miyota 9 Series then PT5000

Owning one now and I have to say it even got better: Drilled Lugs now and great straps: Their green canvas leather strap is excellent, their green NATO is super. Very happy with both watch and accessories. And we talk about a 45 USD watch!

i like it

Yeah the matte is way way better they ruined the pelagos 39. This tool design requires a matte dial

I have often wondered why these Ali watch brands do not hire a professional marketing specialist firm to assist them with selecting a good brand name. It is obvious that some of them are directed mainly at the western world purchasers but the names can be ridiculous. They need to consult better when selecting brand names and maybe even logos. It shouldnt be that hard.

Is it really waterproof? Any tests?

Whilst the finishing is superb and the colour combo of the second and GMT hands is a good contrast what is really underwhelming is the size of the hour and minute hands. They just need to be slightly bigger. On the BOR bracelet or a leather strap it fits great but on the single pass San Martin nylon strap it sits too high on wrist due to the case back sitting lower than the slim case design with drilled lugs. Although it’s a slim case height overall anyone with a smaller than 7 inch wrist will find that it doesn’t look great. Avoid aftermarket Nato and single pass straps. Best on the BOR bracelet by far. Overall great value for money but it’s not perfect. Broader hands would definitely improve it.

Wearing knockoff watches, of any kind, speaks volumes about the owner.. who are you? who are you pretending to be? Wear the real thing and be the real guy OK?

Really good watch. Keeps great time. Lume is really nice and last well. I had bought with the stainless steel bracelet but it was very poor. Spring bar pops out of clasp, falling off my wrist. I replaced with a steeldive 22mm black resin strap with its awesome buckle. Seems to match the over size watch head. My finishing seems fine along the side , nothing bad really. More industrial and less fussy,which I like. Cheers

sleek

They tried a written name on the dial. Geuss what? No one likes it. I like the logo and have all 3 logos they tried. Your whinging about the new clasp and people moaned about the old one for months. Some people are never happy I guess.

Can you share where you got the NATO from?

Very nice. I own the SN0116-G GMT (Root Beer)

Nice review and will be buying one.

Nah .. your color suggestions for the hands don't work. It looked anemic when you edited it, you should stick with watch review and not watch design

Yeah, I'm sure Steeldive just loves it

The site says the lug width is 20mm but people are saying it's 19mm. Can you please verify which is it ?

What is your wrist size please?

Changing the strap changes the watch! lighter, more pleasant!

This is a great watch, i personally love the green dial

I bought the San Martin “Burgundy” and I have to say that watching your review before buying it helped me appreciate the watch better, I had an idea of what I was getting and didn’t have high expectations. I guess that we do appreciate your honesty and critical viewpoints. Having said this, yes, I would buy this WatchDives just from the looks. I’d live with the non-rotating bezel. Also: I hope you make that video that will tell your story behind that Hruodland you’re wearing.

Its your bedtime.

Thanks for being brave enough to make Homage watch reviews. I have the addiction of buying and collecting watches; unlike some watch collectors I don’t like buying and selling watches after I get them, if I don’t like them there is always a Veteran friend who won’t mind getting a free watch, so I give them away. We all know Swiss, German and bigger brand names offer a better quality but that reflects in the price as well. If I was to buy Brand name watches I would be broke by now. So thanks for helping me make an educated decision and keep more of the Ali Express watches I buy.

Hahahah, the chinese branding strikes again. How hard can it be to reach out to a watch forum to get an opinion on the name?

Nice! But horrible brand name though...
