Based on your review, and just received it yesterday. I must say, as a cheap watch enthusiast (who also owns a Rolex DJ, BTW), I was immediately impressed with this watch. The '3-D' dial looks like it belongs on, at least a $5,000 watch. Simply stunning in all light conditions. The watch is super light, almost disappearing on my wrist. Apart from some very sharp edges on the clasp (hair-puller), I can do nothing but praise this thing. That being said, I'd love to see them make watches like this (with the Seiko Quartz movement) more 'upscale'. Give us a sapphire crystal. Spend a little more time smoothing out the bottom edges of the clasp and bracelet. And go ahead, charge us more money for these things. We'll PAY it!

Great review! Gorgeous dimensional dial, love the hands (and the lume). I completely agree with you about the crystal. A watch this gorgeous deserves not only a sapphire crystal, but also an upgraded bracelet and clasp. At $54.00, it's certainly inexpensive enough for them to offer the option of an upgrade on the crystal AND the bracelet to one with screw pins. I'd also love to see the option of a clasp with on-the-fly adjustment such as San Martin offers. Put all that together, and they could easily ask $150.00 for this one. Come on, Addiesdive, give the public what they want!
@RIOLOGYАй бұрын
Thank you for the feedback! Agreed, Id happily pay more for a higher end version of this! Just imagine all those things you mentioned. The case finishing is already great and that dial too, so with a higher quality bracelet+clasp & sapph it could potentially be competing with much more expensive options

I agree about the sapphire. The mecaquartz is good, however, I'd prefer a solar movement from Epson or Citizen. It would possibly cost more ( only a bit?) but it would last longer and there'd be no need to open the case back for even longer to check the seals.

Three days in and someone with way too much spare time reported me for breaching the copyright relating to the use of thexword Jubilee. Apparently, we're supposed to refer to this style of bracelet as "J style" these days. Yet another eord that should be OK because the word is in common usage, but no. I used the word and got a telling off from a well known, Swiss watch manufacturer. It's just as bad in the case of automotive brand BMW, who own the rights to use the name "Mini." I think that this was settled because of the huge demand that there is, even today, for BMC / BLMC MINIS, an example of which would go very nicely with this Addiesdive watch on the owner's wrist... and don't get me started on "Tiffany Blue!" Swiss watchmakers are hardly a threat to that historic name? Anyway, this Addiesdive appeals to my taste in inexpensive Chinese timepieces, even if I can't spell the word "turquoise.

I would buy it, but then i had to see the Logo every day. As a typographer and graphic artist i can‘t look at it. Why not use the typo from the other logo (which is ugly as well, but the font is allright)?

@RIOLOGY17 күн бұрын
@@ZaxxVirx I know one thing, as long as it is 316L Stainless Steel you have nothing to worry about regardless of where the watch comes from. Most of Europe imports processed 316L SS from China for many industries. And despite that, Addiesdive has almost exported 100'000 watches world wide in 316L Stainless steel. We would have heard something by now if someone was affected by toxins. If you buy random metal alloys that are chrome plated, that is when you should worry, like for example with $7 watches from China or Fossil watches sold in the West. And if you are really worried then research about DuPont and how the majority of the world population is now affected by their toxins and PFAS.
