Cadisen C8097 Hi-Beat Watch With a Real Diamond on the Dial?

[@MyAffordableWatchCollection]

They look great, I can understand why you got both of them! btw, you could, if you really wanted, take the watch apart and use that Diamond Selector II to test the "diamond"... For science... It would make a nice video no matter what the outcome is...

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

I'm not brave enough to take it apart. Plus I don't have stuff to be able to do it and put it back together again. Perhaps I will do down the line sometime though.

[@mengkeangveng3899]

Great review. Your video length is quite good. Not too long and not too short. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

Thanks. I don't want to waste people time rambling on, so I try to keep it concise and to the point.

[@gregmedbourn5347]

I have the white dial.... Put it on a tan leather strap and the watch just looks like a real expensive watch... What I love is the price.... There’s no where in the world you could get that 9515 high beat movement, with sapphire domed glass for under $125 I paid $104 delivered... The open faced back is beautiful to good at ... The only thing that it’s not real easy to glance and get the time. It takes me a second to focus... But it’s a dress watch and that’s the dial for a dress watch.... It’s a beautiful highly quality watch that looks like $350-1,000 watch I know that sounds crazy but look closely at this up close and then look at others 5x as much I would of bought the Seiko sarb for $350 ( that’s a great great watch at only $350) But it’s 37mm This cadisen is every bit of the sarb ( except lume) But at 40 mm and it’s only 10.2mm thick.... Easy to wear.....

Another great review by a great reviewer 😎 keep pumping these videos out :) i cant wait for what comes next 😍 also, which one is your fav? This cadisen, The starking you recently reviewed or the nazken? 😁

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

I'm glad you're enjoying the channel 😊 As for my favourite out of those three... I'd probably say the Cadisen, as I just love a curved or domed crystal. But in terms of value for money it has to be the Starking.

[@richardlachcik5446]

i have the white dial, blue second hand, gains about .1 second a day, most accurate watch i own

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

I do love the Miyota 9015. I wish microbrands would use it sometimes instead of anyways using the NH35.

[@gritsteel4559]

@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR Love this Cadisen, and the Starking AM0244. Telos at least uses the 9xxx movements, and its Mako GMT is a good one, Miyota 9075 true GMT.

No issues at all.

[@brianstavert5678]

It reminds me of the Seiko Sarb065 Cocktail Time and the Orient Bambino for a lot less money. The Cocktail Time has a gorgeous dial and hands. For the money this is a beautiful watch. Mine is on the way.

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

Yeah absolutely. Which one did you go for then?

[@brianstavert5678]

I got the silver case and white dial with the blue seconds hand

[@swisswatchcompany1710]

Definitely a clean and classy look. I don't know if the diamond is for me but I could see it growing on me. Great all around review!

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

Like I say in the video, you don't really notice to be honest. It just looks like a more intricately cut in marker. Especially on the white dial version.

[@swisswatchcompany1710]

@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR Yeah I imagine I wouldn't even realize it while it is on the wrist. Even if I did though, I could see myself appreciating it. My wedding ring has a diamond in it so they aren't completely lost on me haha.

Gold dial markers and hands would be really good looking on white version.

[@milanthapa5473]

i am in dilemma to choose a color . Which one is best in your opinion?

It depends on whether you want something a bit different or not. The more unique one is the rose gold version.

I have guanqin in white so i like it in rosegold for dress watch but i am in dilemma that the rose gold is girly or subtle? Thanks and love from Nepal.

I wouldn't say it was girly. I've had guys asks what watch it is as they really like it.

[@Grenson_Brogue]

The wording on the dial just seems a bit odd . CADISON SAPPHIRE DIAMOND AUTOMATIC could have done with at least one less gemstone reference . It wouldn't put me off adding one to my pile though . Nice watch .

There is no way that's a real diamond, but apart from that, what a gorgeous piece!

It's that small it might be... Maybe... Possibly... But yeah, it's probably not. But like you said its a gorgeous watch either way.

A diamond this small and with bad clarity will probably cost less than a dollar in bulk.

[@eduardoantoniogarciacorrea6332]

Is this Watch worth it for the same price of a Bambino ?

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

Does the Bambino have a high beat movement like this one? As for me at least, that's one of the main reasons I got this.

[@Visitor555]

Bambino doesnt have high beat and saphire crystal, so thats two of the most main things we are looking for a quallity watch. On the other hand Orient have better heritage than chinese brand with no history. Its your choise.

[@piho-thecat2119]

also, bambino watches have lug width of 21mm. best of luck swapping the straps.

[@gritsteel4559]

@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR I have the Bambino gen2 v2 and I like it, and I like these Cadisens too, will be my next purchase, in rose gold. Bambino is still more expensive. What I like about Chinese watches are that they can put in sapphire at a low price, while bigger brand names like Seiko or Orient only add in sapphire for higher priced models. Furthermore, at least Cadisen is using a good Japanese movement, I would be hesitant if it was a Seagull (which will make it thicker). High beat does mean faster wear and tear, but at the price it's ok, once service is needed, just buy another one.

[@LeeTanczos]

was there a lighting or exposure problem? lot of glare stopping us seeing the watches in detail sadly, and I was looking for the smooth sweep but then 3 or 4 jump cuts! good to see the aftermarket straps not many people bother with that detail. I wonder if they would survive being restitched by hand with a saddle stitch as the thread always look very thin and decorative rather than substantial. also - diamonds are cheap now.

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

Sorry about that it's one of my older videos. If you checkout the newer ones I've improved a bit since doing this one. I try to improve things with each video.

[@sljsmit]

This is THE biggest f you to swiss watches i can remember:) A non hommage chinese watch with double domed sapphire and a miyota 9015 movement...and they even managed to squeeze a little diamond in there:)!!! I have this theorie that ETA made the lower beat powermatic 80 version of the 2824 cause the high beat version couldn't keep up with the miyota 9000 series. Include the shady 60% swiss made rule, this is a serious attack on the swiss market:)

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

Fantastic value for money aren't they. I completely agree with you.

[@ruadhagainagaidheal9398]

Do you think the diamond is actually real ? Probably not, given that that the watch sells on Ali Express for a little over $100. That is rather less than the price of a Miyota 9015 movement alone, so do you reckon that’s a genuine Japan made movement in there ? Or one of the millions of Miyota clones churned out by Chinese watch factories.

[@klokwillems7222]

I bought this watch and it has a HangZhou 9015-3 in it. This is a copy of the original Miyota 9015. Bought from an Aliexpress official store. I feel very cheated. inscription is also different it says cwmj japan miyota.

[@rumatadestora]

The "diamond" part is reference to that piece of glass at 12 o'clock? lol Well, all in all I think this is a pretty generic watch, and at that price there are better variants, I guess

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

You'll struggle to find a better watch for the price. This has a high beat Miyota 9015 and domed sapphire crystal. The movement alone cost about £90. a.aliexpress.com/_B11OZO

[@rumatadestora]

@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR Well, the high beat movement is not much of a priority for me, so...I prefer my watch to have an interesting design also, not just good movement. Also that crystal at 12 make them look pretty cheap. Maybe it's just not my cup of tea. But nice review anyway

Each to their own I guess. I tend to prefer the more minimalist look in my watches. I also really like having a high beat movement as well. So I love this one.
