Cadisen C8209 Full Review

[@bensynewsshoedown4999]

Great to see you review this particular version. White dials seem to be a popular trend in recent releases, so nice to have choice in this price range.

[@bbwt9991]

That is a great bezel design. The whole package looks like great value. It looks a, lot more expensive than it is. Congratulations on reaching 8000 subscribers. I'm sure you will be at least 10,000 before too long.

[@aceofkings6529]

I've been following your channel ever since you made a video regarding the Phylida AT watch - my first Chinese watch ever! Congrats on 8k, and thanks for being a big part of this community (YT and Reddit)!

[@EscapeWheel]

Wow, one of the early one. Much appreciated man, thank you for following along. 👊

[@willmarshall4685]

Mine arrived yesterday, 9 days shipping. It’s exactly how you described. The dial has some kind of voodoo…it’s visible in direct light or really any angle or lighting. This is the perfect all arounder; you could wear it to the office, the beach, on a date, in the ocean, and really anywhere your body will take you. And it is an absolute strap monster. I’ve already purchased two straps that cost more than the watch😂. My two beefs with the watch are the bezel feel and that’s it’s such a great all arounder that I’m going to have a hard time convincing my wife that I need another watch. Thanks for the review!

[@hobyabernathy9942]

I’ve been looking for a good review of this one ever since it first caught my eye, so thanks for this! The female end links and AR coating are huge improvements in my opinion. Really glad to see Cadisen making improvements. Great review as always, thanks!

[@kennethcullen1208]

This Cadisen is obviously a strap monster. I will be looking to get one. I love white dials and this one has great definition. Great review, as usual.

[@hoodoo8]

Nice pick up Steve, glad they decided to send you this one so we could get your valuable low-down. Pleased to hear it’s a good offering. I am getting more and more impressed and excited about Cadisen

[@djapojunior]

It's a cool piece, nice to see an homage of a different watch, not just a redo of all the same. And at that price, a steal.

[@Vidmr2407]

Finally a review of this one! I ordered mine in blue for $64.45 final price from Cadisen official store on 12/12/2022. I really love this thing despite pip being ever so slightly off center at 12. Great review as usual!

[@jeremiahjohnson8343]

Congrats on the sub milestone and nice watch review. Seems like Cadisen is rapidly improving, though I haven't seen any deal breakers on the prior models I've checked out. I'll have to check these out again as I've been wary of this price point in the past. My last PD purchases in this price range have had poor quality control or other glaring issues that are not shown in the photos.

[@TheCreativeSpark825]

Cadisen also lives up to its name. , I want the fun of choosing a watch from Ali to continue only when a model that competes with each other like this comes out . Thank you for providing useful information i hope that keep growing

[@06hamzam]

Now this is something I never expected from Cadisen but I’m so glad they did. I was ready to drop over £1000 on the Tag for a bit of a rugged daily but after seeing this I don’t even know anymore! Good luck to everyone, would love to win this.

[@francisharkins01]

Great content as usual, homie! I've gone back and forth about this style of watches, some of the more 90s-esqe models by that co used to gross me out lol but lately I've developed a yearn. My partner at work just got a really nice Swiss version last year with the tortoise-style insert, and handling it changed my perspective on this particular model. Congratulations on 8k, keep it up!

[@michaelweber1143]

Cadisen is really rolling out some great watches. That orange seconds hand really makes the dial pop and I like that you show us different straps for each watch you review.

[@bellabetty5678]

I would like to congratulate you on reaching and exceeding the 8,000 subscriber ceiling. Surely in a short time you will duplicate them because your reviews are very, very well done. This Cadisen seems very nice to me, the movement is basic but robust and easy to adjust or fix, for what it costs it seems like a great purchase.

[@tarasmathers7423]

Hey, Steve. I really dig the embossed case back on this one. Cadisen is, IMHO, a fairly underrated brand. My Cadisen "Day/Date," though not the biggest "spec monster," is super-comfortable, and one of my favorite, daily wear pieces. Hopefully all's well with you. Please keep up the great work. Cheers

[@AlexanderB.]

Congrats for approaching 8k subs Steve! Cadisen has become quite prolific lately. This is one of the better watches. I like the colour, it looked best on the black tropic strap. It's got the best movement you can expect for this price but it's a good decision they went with a solid caseback instead of just another see through caseback displaying the NH35.

[@HughR3GO]

Great video, lots of details. The dark outlined hands and the hit of orange does make things pop more than if everything was silver.

[@probablynothing5465]

Definitely homage of the tag diver series. Looks great overall especially the blue dial version

[@chasehuggins6157]

I like coarse brushing too.

[@soulmatera2344]

Thank you for your review and the tremendous work that goes into making these types of videos so professionally and engaging. As for the watch, it's beautiful. Watches must be enjoyed and loved, no matter where they are from, whether they are Chinese, Japanese, Swiss or Spanish... That they work well, which is the important thing, and that the wearer likes them. The price matters a lot.

[@johnkollias6782]

This watch really looks good. Cadisen did well with the build and the finishing is over all well done. This would be a keeper in my collection. Good video and review.

[@murrayschindel1848]

Thanks for the detailed review Steve. This is a nice looking watch, and the combination of white dial / gunmetal hands, makes it very easy to read the time. It's also quite a strap monster, which is a good thing, in case you can't get a comfortable fit with the bracelet. It annoys me when watch companies cheap out with these short clasps, with only two (or even worse, none at all) micro adjust holes. This isn't only directed at Cadisen though, big-name brands like Seiko and Casio do this all the time!

[@coreydavidson8221]

Congratulations on hitting 8k, Steve! Gorgeous watch!

[@tonycooper8977]

Good review of this solid offering from Cadisen. I'm a fan of the white dial/stainless steel bezel look. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity, Steve.

[@terryestes6538]

Congratulations on 8000 Subscribers and thanks for all the great video reviews.

[@danielthompson803]

It's almost a one to one of the tag heuer aquaracer.

[@rafaelsantiago4818]

Pretty attractive for a Cadisen. It's nice to see it goes with so many different straps. Love the angular design and dial layout. Great review!

[@KelceyHanson]

Thanks for the reviews as always. I've discovered a lot of great watches thanks to this channel.

[@leonardkoh6926]

Congrats on the 8k sub. Keep up the good work. The watch looks good and value for money.

[@caktaylor]

Great review! I really like the look of the white dial, and I am glad that Cadisen decided to use a 120-click bezel instead of the 90-click bezels they put on some of their other recent releases.

[@wilburabrams6519]

Congrats on 8k subs dude! I like the bezel and orange second hand on that watch. Combined they're enough to really differentiate it in my eyes from a lot of other divers. Might have to pick one up soon.

[@EscapeWheel]

Thank you! Good luck on the giveaway!

[@markdrum2392]

That's a surprisingly nice watch at this price point. The dial reminds me of much more expensive brands. I'd like to see this on a mesh bracelet. Thanks for the great review!

[@danpodina438]

That is a really nice looking watch. I like the teak style dial. Not many companies do Tag homages and I know some watch peeps hate Tag Heuer but something about there design philosophy speaks to me. Great review as always.

[@gsx-rrider842]

This is actually one of the few cadisen's that got my atrention. It looks pretty good and solid.

[@seventyandone]

Hi Steve, a long way to 8k subs with ups and downs in the last year. Hope 2023 will be a good year for you and I'm hoping to see a lot of great reviews like this one. This watch ticks a lot of boxes for me and is amazing value for the money. The QC issue is a shame though. Appreciate your are giving this watch away and wishing everyone good luck ;-)

[@phantom-stt]

Congrats on the 8k subs man. Well deserved

[@johnmarcroft9016]

Love the brushing on the case, I think it looks a lot better on a strap than bracelet, the orange second hand is a great touch to be able to add a bit of colour with a different strap. Dial is very clean!

[@neilbotha3527]

Great review as always Steve. This Cadisen is outstanding value

[@Guanche123]

For the price you get great style, quality and overall great specs over the price point. I love it!!

[@Box_13]

First, it is great to see your channel alive and thriving. Thanks for the giveaway and good luck everyone. I cannot wait to see you review for the new Academic. 👍

[@philiproberts1473]

Thanks for the review. I looked at a pre owned one in grey a few weeks ago at my local AD at around 1300 GBP. From your pictures I can't tell the difference so the Cadisen seems excellent value

[@John_doe121]

Congratulations on the 8k subs, Steve

[@Not_the_bee]

Congrats on 8k mate. I love the dial a lot

[@nicacioalencar5560]

I really like the way you do the review on the watches. This watch is really nice.

[@EscapeWheel]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@willburn1741]

In this Golden Age of micro brands. Watch quality is approaching a milestone. The realization that between $300.00 and $500.00 dollars. The best in watch design and quality is obtainable. Anything more expensive is only fractionally better. The law of diminishing returns applies. Cadisen, is making a name for themselves. Great review, nice watch.. Yet another micro brand to add to my collection. Keep up the excellent content. Cheers!

[@EscapeWheel]

[@jameshorton7158]

Great review! Thanks for the giving back to the community and giving it away as well! GL pals!

[@UltraLab157]

Nice review Steve. Cadisen have definitely upped their game recently to be challenging for the budget Kings of Ali express.

[@SingleTrackMined]

This is the first stainless bezel I've liked. Very nice looking watch. Love the white dial. Nice vid. Thanks!

[@franklinlittle5326]

I think it's one of the most beautiful watches I have seen in awhile

[@benbrowning8138]

Congrats Steve on your growing channel; thanks for reviewing understated but great value watches like this. Happy New Year and Lunar New Year.

[@xXxavier-1]

Beautiful watch. Congrats on 8k subs👍

[@chrispamplin6197]

Great review Steve. Cadisen always nail the value for money aspect. Like the look of this one.

[@brianmsahin]

Congratulations on the subs! That is a very nice looking watch. Well made. 👍

[@Fujitsu_Saitoh]

Congrats on the 8k subscribers. I was just looking for an aquaracer homage.

[@statlerwaldorf7130]

Impressive for the price, and good looking too, a few other Ali watch sellers should take note at what you can produce for this kind of price. It looks awesome in the brown leather strap. Thanks Steve great review 👍

[@Rozisunshineglow]

I really like this style watch and this sizing, . Lovely review, thank you!

[@Watchheath]

Love the intro 👌👌 . Love the piece the bezel in the light has some great angles Great review 😀

[@neriel0326]

Great review and a really bang for your buck. Great review! Thanks for the generosity man 👊

[@Carrot81]

I like the angular side profile, and I agree that the white colour is the cleanest / best looking of the bunch. Great watch, and great review!

[@TheZacromano]

It’s a beautiful watch with lots of interesting finishing on the case. Good review!

[@jsun5538]

This one looks really solid for the price! The white dial looks great!

[@Deatht1ny]

What a nice watch, especially for the price. Those structured elements on the bezel look great.

[@jasonbostock408]

great review I have a couple of Cadisens there are usually very good my last piece just had a terrible bezel they refunded me a fair amount of money when I spoke to them I find them slightly better than Pagani overall there getting better over time

[@wordstrickland]

Great review as always, Steve.

[@davidbarbour5153]

well done on the subscriber numbers, thats a nice watch from Cadisen, legible and uncluttered, I dont have a cadisen yet so would be great to win it. cheers , keep up the good work.

[@EscapeWheel]

[@carlperks1671]

I’ve been wanting someone to make this model. All three colors look sharp

You are welcome. Good luck on the giveaway!

[@BTBHSOHBOY]

@@EscapeWheel Thanks!

[@watch-box]

Looks great. It’s going in my basket, awesome value as usual with Cadisen. Nice to see something different from the homage brands usual ware.

[@J_OWL_0000]

There's no denying that level of accuracy at that dollar value is incredible.

[@abehaile2659]

New subscriber. Keep up the great work! You are my go-to watch reviewer

[@EscapeWheel]

Wow, thanks, Abe. Good luck on the giveaway. Winner gets picked tomorrow 🤞

[@SRTD300]

Great review. I have only bought their dress watch before. Thanks again for all you do! Good luck everyone!

[@EscapeWheel]

Thanks! I had the Cadisen "diamond" back in the day before reviews,an, that thing was killer for like $105. Crazy value. Kinda want to get another one in just for review purposes.

[@mr.pencil6003]

Love the blue version, but honestly every single one of them looks neat!

[@Shri_V]

Love this design...I have the PD 1617, which is their version of the watch this is homaging and that's also pretty nice!

[@Rmmmmmmmmmmk]

That’s a really cool watch, you can see the nods to the omega smp 300 for sure!

[@BrianSheehan1]

Thanks for the review, its looks really well. Nice to see a quality budget option. Cheers

[@trigea]

Stunning, I have the Cadisen Seamaster 300 homage and it's great

[@kelso72]

Awesome review. Cadisen is a hit or miss for myself but for the price point it is hard to beat.

[@ignaciopadilla5150]

That is a good looking homage watch. I been looking at this for a couple of days I was look at this white and grey dial. Thank you for the review.

[@uniqueglamlife7]

Thank you very much for teaching us more about the universe of watchmaking. Best regards

[@natesmith3983]

I dig it. I especially love it on that gray and orange strap

[@sunny-sideup5347]

I enter and directly give "like" simply because I know that the edition already deserves it.....

Congrats on 8k subs

[@darrenjones2070]

It's a beautiful watch! Great size great all around watch. I'd definitely wear it. It's very clean looking. Great video.

[@scottlauren3145]

I've been eyeing a Tag H for a while now so this would be perfect!

[@predragjo5977]

[@Bullnoseboy]

[@matthewbessey681]

Nice, clean looking and legible watch and a pretty good price for what you get 👍 looks good in the other colours too.

[@fark69]

Very interested to compare this to the watch it is homaging. Quality of Cadisen / San Martin / etc. has continued to impress me year over year
