Ideally it would need to be a tachymeter or motorsport, a chronograph with sub dials at 3-6-9 with a distinctive borders or a panda design.

For those on a tighter budget, there's the excellent Casio Duro MDV-106/107, waterproof to 200 meters, which costs less than $100

[@slayermeb]

I would add the Steinhart Ocean 39 to this list.

[@panorama4526]

Steinhart?! No way. Tudor Submariner would be ok.

[@007Chancellor]

@@panorama4526 Yes, Steinhart. OUTSTANDING watches at a fraction of the cost of the Rolex...or the Tudor!

[@007Chancellor]

I second this! My Ocean 39 GMT is my favorite watch!

[@ChawnCrawley]

On the Davosa Ternos: the ceramic bezel literally fell out of mine about 7 weeks after owning it new. Davosa wanted ZERO to do with it and further refused telling me “they’ve never heard of that happening before”. Their final fix would be charging me ~$100 for a new bezel and find my own watchmaker to deal with it. I found that bezel a month later in my lawn, now cracked at the 3pm. Cut my losses and glued it back in myself. Ultimately I threw the thing away, lol. I’m not saying don’t buy it or do buy it. Just that they don’t seem to care much at all about you afterward.

[@clontstable1]

Sounds like a lemon to me. Mine is great quality. I love it👍

[@datobites]

Thank you, excelent review. I own a Davosa Ternos 200mt, and your description is perfect!

[@WatchShopOfficial]

We're glad you enjoyed the video!

[@thisoldbelair]

I have an SRPD55 and I love it. Wear it almost every day on a number of different natos. A strapcode bracelet is in the plans. Thank you for the positive comments on the SRPD! Its a nice change from everyone bashing on it because it doesn’t have a screw down crown. The SKX is awesome, and so is the SRPD.

[@mosaldin]

What do you think about Steinhart ? Thanks.

[@Vinny_Terranova]

I love the Rolex Submariner and Rolex in General One marvelous alternative and is perhaps the best bargain is the CERTINA DS ACTION Ceramic 43mm. It’s caliber Powermatic 80 is easily in the superlative chronometer precision range. And in America, the good news is that CERTINA is inexistent, making it have some cachet 😊

[@gyrfalcon7332]

Really solid picks and great descriptions. The Squale Giramondo GMT is another to consider. And the Tudor Black Bay 58 or Heritage series.

[@WatchShopOfficial]

Those are great alternatives also!

[@RudyVisuals]

I have the Seiko 5 and the Certina DS Action in 38mm and they are both great watches to scratch that submariner itch, that let's face it - I'll probably never own. The Certina in particular is an amazing watch for the price and one I'd highly recommend!

[@apostolosgalimanas8274]

very good job!how is the quality between davosa ternos vs Certina?and the ds action is more big from 40mm Davosa ?how is look?thanks

[@R3dNordXLY]

I love Rolex Submariner green hulk. I sub with Seiko SRPD61K1 to suit my budget and I really love it!

[@dinstaar]

A GMT is not a dive watch. I am a SCUBA diver, a GMT cannot track air time. I know how much time a tank lasts me and with a rotating bezel I know how long I have been down, it is a good and easy time reference. A GMT cannot do this as its bezel tracks time zones, not minutes.

[@Jedi391]

The best alternative is the Cronos L6005 for $240…..I’d pick it easily over any of these. The best though would be the Ginault Ocean Rover 2…….just about Rolex quality with a Swiss movement. It’s more original than the Davosa, more like the Sub Rolex should have built using the best of multiple generations.

[@jkyle0816]

Are you aware of the controversy about Ginault?

[@huzidamasta]

How did Longines Hydroconquest not make the list!!?? Criminal 😉

[@kellypaws]

I have only received three watches with faulty mechanisms (from far too many): 1. Vostok. 2. Orient. (Which is very much a Seiko Epson Group product...) 3. Seiko 5KX. Seiko's quality, despite being a huge favourite of mine, is utterly appalling. Nothing EVER lines up, and to cap it all their mechanisms aren't being checked as thoroughly at QA, as the Chinese homages that use it. I wouldn't recommend Seiko to anyone right now.

[@AvroBellow]

The Casio Duro and Invicta Grand Diver come to mind. So too does the Pagani Design PD-1639.

[@darrenauld1193]

Who is he talking to....we are over here!!

[@richardgreen8919]

Nice video.Quality presentation.The Tudor GMT is also a great watch,but I do appreciate it currently retails at £3.040.00.You have reviewed some interesting alternatives.Take care.

[@WatchShopOfficial]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@JayJBaez]

No Longines Hydroconquest?

[@kleinqpro]

Very nice, leaning very strong towards the Davosa 40mm and your review further helped with my research. What size is your wrist? I wear a 42mm Steinhart with no problem, the 42mm Davosa is 1mm longer lug/lug and 2.5mm taller, I am leaning towards the 40mm Ternos. Thanks,

[@Marty004Cimb]

I used to own Steinhart Ocean One 42mm and now I have the Davosa Ternos Professional 42mm. Height or thickness of the watch is no problem for me but it is heavier than Steinhart about 200g.

[@kleinqpro]

Thanks, I bought a 42mm Davosa Professional GMT BLACK-BLUE, 2 weeks ago. Size is perfect, watch is stunning.

[@alanwright3172]

Sorry! " ideally has to have a Swiss mechanical movement" and "Dive watch functionality" , so we get first a non Swiss quartz and second we get a Japanese sports watch with 100m WR ( snorkelling/ swimming at best!) a good comparison video set up to fail at the first fence. Don't set parameters then ignore them, a simple "These are the best affordable subbie homages in various price brackets" would have been a better intro.

[@WIAAWatchReviews]

Thanks for the feedback! The guidelines were all budget dependant, obviously it's extremely difficult to get a Swiss auto with 300m water resistance for under £500, but appreciate your comment.

[@prorokx7]

3:03 The bezel is used for a third, not second, time zone.

You’ve missed perhaps the best bargain of them all…. The Casio Duro.

[@iancraig6070]

Never forget style and design are subjective.

[@jamesreed1969]

"Mechanical movement produced by Tissot"?! Hmmm, I thought it's ETA caliber C07.111 based used in many different Swatch group brands - Mido, Certina, Tissot, etc.....

[@user-hl1bw4od5v]

Certina 38 mm💚👍

[@JamesAlexander14]

Difficult choice but I’d go for either the Oris or Certina. Certina gives to the Turtle Conservancy charity.

great show mate,, i want all 5, steve in Australia.

[@Xanduur]

I’ve always liked the way I die watch looks, especially a black face black dial dial watch. They look good on my wrist. But they’re always too heavy and uncomfortable to wear so I end up getting rid of them.

Hi Abdul, we really appreciate it! :)

[@josh3959]

The first 2 are not dive watches. You can not dive with a watch with 100m water resistant. Orient has some cheap dive watches that can be dived with and casio has a 50 dollar dive watch that I've personally dived with many times. It is quarts though. Vostock also has a really cheap dive watch

[@itapuanbezerra]

Excellent video, congrats.

[@marceloribas4616]

STEINHARDT and Longines should be included, both are superior to Seiko

[@RotaryWatchesOfficial]

Thank you for sharing

[@christianboulay4722]

Have one question, does the watch come in a "rustic" box? That's the one selling point I request.

[@Madmanmarque]

Why Swiss made? Glasutte Original SeaQ fits every tick on your list, except where it is made.

[@seclaman]

Check the Elgin FK-531

[@CedricMartin1]

Not disputing what he says (except that maybe old subs are 39mm and not 40mm? While newer ones, y, are 41) but... Since when is it hard to buy a Submariner at a dealer at the official price? A "cheap" Daytona (as in the steel ones) is unobtainable unless you're a very wealthy client, while the white gold / pink gold ones can be bought easily. I had no idea Submariners were hard to get now. I'm lucky in that I bought mine used during a serious dip about 7 or 8 years ago (don't remember exactly) and price has probably made at least times 2 since then! Now Rolex sells so many Submariner they're not that hard to find used. But, y, 7 K to, well, quite some.

[@zelaznamalpa]

[@bremertoerien6987]

How does 100m watch class as a dive watch? I don't think any of these are alternatives to the Submariner, they are alternative watches, but you didn't really think this video through, did you? That Seiko is not so well build and doesn't have incredible specs for the price, in fact, its overpriced for what you get. There are many micro brands for example that offer so much more for less that the price of that Seiko 5KX. Your video feels like a sales pitch rather than advice for the new watch collector.

[@Tionaintown876]

Trying to find a watch for my bf for christmas because he loves the submariner but lol I'm in college

[@WH-hi5ew]

Have a look at Davosa (Ternos 40mm) or Steinhart (Ocean 39mm) - both good, German made. If you live in UK Jura sell the cheapest Davosa I can find. There is also a list of dealers for Steinhart, I see one is listed in the UK. Cheaper still you could think about an Invicta Pro Diver 40mm or Pagani design Submariner homage watch.

Rolex homage watches, like the Davosa, are so lame and cheesy in my opinion. I get a good laugh whenever I see one.

[@dellwright1407]

On the plus side they are nicely priced and you don't have to pay double retail on the grey market nor be fobbed off by haughty ADs and go on a waitlist of years for a luxury watch with an already massive mark up. Unlike buying a real sports Rolex.
