Just Fantastic. All the Watch you’ll ever need.
Hand Winding (and hacking) and Automatic.
Keeps Fantastic Time
Looks Even Better in Person
Love it!
As regards to accuracy,
at this price point is is extremely good , gaining 2s per day on the wrist.
Dial, hand alignment etc is most acceptable as is the general finish to. To be picky I’d say its a bit over polished. The bracelet has micro adjustment (I had to remove 3 links to bring into range) Lume is not as long lasting my more expensive seiko but it’s ok
To sum up, I’m happy with my purchase. Great accuracy all for 128 quid!

I can’t understand any negative reviews or even any non-five star reviews at this price point. The bracelet is fine, not perfect, but much better than I was expecting. I swapped it out for a nato strap which makes it lighter and more comfortable (but that’s just personal preference, I’m sure I’ll use the stainless steel strap too). I have slim wrists and it looks great, if you want a really big watch, this probably isn’t for you. You will not be disapointed with this watch. If you are, I suggest you stick to Rolex or Omega, if you can afford it.
This watch is great I love the look and feel of it its got a nice weight to it without being to heavy and it keeps really good time. I’ve had it about a week now and its gained about 10 seconds in that time which is great much better than my more expensive Seiko with the 7s26 movement. If I have to criticize it would be the bracelet which lets it down a little bit but at this price you really can’t complain to much.
Well I’m no stranger to an auto and this is definitely a premium feeling mechanical watch. I was torn between the Kamasu and this but I’m happy with my choice. Pros are the accuracy (+6 sec a day average), size is perfect for my slightly under 7″ wrist, lume is up there with the best, the blue dial is stunning in the light and the movement is hackable and can hand wound. Only cons for me are the bezel is one of the stiffest I’ve owned and the crown is also quite stiff and not very grippy. Both are almost impossible to operate with wet hands. The bracelet seems fine to me. The links are solid, not folded, however the end links are hollow as expected. All in all a perfect low profile dressy or casual diver. Its lower profile size makes it perfect for wearing under a shirt cuff without it catching. For 129 its an absolute bargain.
This Watch is absolutely “bang for buck” , I have been please with it so far ……..on other reviews I see the strap has not got a very good word said but I haven’t found a problem it’s just down to preference and although it has a Great appearance I personally get on ok with this, so good that I’ve just had delivery of the Orange Ray 2.
Watches are accurate well built and value for money ,lume is fantastic and size of Watch fits my 7 1/4″ wrist after adjustment of the bracelet well
If you are thinking about getting one of these just do it!
The style – taking design cues from the Seiko SKX with its large indices and the Rolex Submariner, this is a very nice looking watch with its own identity and personality, not a mere homage.
The dial – the sunburst blue dial looks stunning in the light. Lovely applied indices and logo.
The bezel – although not a ceramic insert, the bezel looks good and the 120 click action is stiff, possibly a little too stiff, out of the box.
The lume – after only half a day’s power under normal lighting conditions, the lume was bright and lasted well over 5 hours. Extremely impressive given the price point.
The movement – hand-winding and hacking automatic movement at this price point is very good.
The finishing – this watch looks and feels like one 5x it’s price.
The bad:
The bracelet – while it has solid links and the finishing is good, it doesn’t have solid end links, has push pins and only a pressed clasp. The clasp isn’t too bad however, and is to be expected at this price point. The polished edges on the midlinks looks a bit odd, I would have preferred a fully brushed bracket or fully polished midlinks. Overall though the bracelet isn’t too bad.
The ugly:
The crown is way too stiff. I found it impossible to undo while wearing the watch, and I wasn’t overly confident I had fully tightened it after setting the time and date. I would be very wary about submersing in water unless I was 100% sure the crown was fully screwed in.
All in all, a terrific watch at this price.
I’m guessing the Seiko would be better quality but there seems little wrong with this other than a couple of small issues.
Firstly the crown is difficult to use and it’s a bit gritty and when setting the time the hands don’t move straight away,there’s a small delay after turning the crown before the hands move.
Secondly the strap feels a bit cheap but it actually looks ok and could be changed.
Based on the price of this it couldn’t be perfect but is fairly close for the price paid.
It’s a good size but seems to wear slightly small due to the bezel,which is also a bit tricky to turn.
These are very small issues and certainly not enough for me to return.
Hand winding and hacking, automatic and mineral glass(not sapphire) and great to look at
Ticks all the box’s for a budget divers style watch.
Only owned for one week, so bear that in mind. Very nice watch, punches above its weight in terms of price/value. The luminosity is impressive and lasts a good amount of time. After setting to GMT a week ago, the watch has gained approximately 15 seconds, which is very good, within COSC parameters as I understand it, for a 150 diver I feel this is impressive. The screw crown feels a little flimsy, but with care and the fact you needn’t use it often (because of inherent accuracy) this isn’t a big concern. Watch looks tasteful, well finished case, rotating bezel works well and solidly clicks. Small limitation on micro-adjustments on strap, if I remove three links it is too tight, if I have two links removed and set the micro-adjustment to maximum, then it is a little too loose. It’s water resistance hasn’t been tested, but I believe these watches are not ISO certified, so this MAY be an issue for those requiring dependability in that regard. Time will tell in my case (excuse the pun). The strap has pinched a couple of hairs here and there, but not annoying so. Overall, no complaints, good value for money. I will update review if any negative issues develop. Hope this helped.
This on a bracelet is versatile –
And forget any Quartz diver by any other brand – this is a great watch – spend the money, enjoy it and wear it as it’ll last a lifetime too.
This is a high quality piece, nice finishing throughout – under a loupe (8x) reveals good finishing on the dial, hands and indices
All in-house – forget boutique trash – this watch is made in Japan along with every component (made by Seiko Epson)
Strong lume – a high quality bezel with 120 clicks
Signed crown
engraved caseback –
hacking handwinding and excellent time keeping with a very durable movement
water resistant to 200m and ISO certified – enough for any sort of scuba diving (not saturation diving)
Very well made and finished case with polished and brushed elements
Beautiful sunbust blue which catches light and looks different under different light – very interesting and a pleasure to look at – coupled with the red marker on the second hand and the nicely shaped hands – makes for a gorgeous watch.
Only downside is the bracelet features no screw in links, no solid end links, a pressed clasp and doesn’t taper – replace with a Bonetto Cinturini italian rubber dive strap (22mm) in navy – suits this watch perfectly.
Bracelet options – available but pricey – (forget the Oyster style one and go for the Endmill) – on a quality bracelet this will match a far pricier watch.
This is a proper watch, a proper dive watch and looks and feels fantastic
