Aliexpress special update!
So my Addies dive “Deepseahunter” finally arrived and I have a little time on my hands, so I thought I’d do my first mini review 🤓
My initial suprise was just how heavy this feels in the hand. It gives a more premium feel to the watch, especially considering it’s a quartz.
Right off the bat you can see the Dial is definitely the star of the show. I especially like how the light catches the hands and indices and gives off warm gold tones complementing the dial perfectly.
The bracelet is suprisingly serviceable considering the £38 price tag. It has solid links, solid end links, push pins and even a signed fully milled clasp featuring 5 micro adjust holes. It feels a little jangly but looks good and integrates with the watch head nicely.
It took me just 5 minutes to size it to my 7.5 wrist removing 4 links and is super comfortable on wrist.
The movement is a Seiko meca Quartz movement so you get 4 tics of the second hand giving it a nice sweep but with the accuracy of quartz. This is a really great idea and I really don’t understand why this isn’t a more common mainstream practice. To be honest I think 99% of people would think this was an automatic which is fine by me!
Overall I can’t recommend this enough considering the price point and what you are getting. I guess it just depends if you can look past the silly name on the dial. If you can like me, then you are in for an inexpensive treat.
Just another guy that doesn’t dive but loves a dive watch!
I completely agree, thank you for the mini review. Gives me that bit of confidence in the watch. I already have several Addiesdive watches never failed me and love them. I sweet change from the PD and Cadisen lines I have. Enjoy,Cheers!
