Today we are looking at a new release from Addiesdive: the AD2056.
This is an homage to the Seamaster 300 or if you prefer an homage of an homage if you take into account the Helson Sharkmaster.
Addiesdive in 2022/2023 were at the top of their game and produced some of the best budget watches to be found anywhere, never mind on AliExpress, but this year they have not been as consistent.
Can this new release, the Addiesdive AD2056 Sharkmaster, see a welcome return to form?
I will leave AliExpress Affiliate link to the watch below if you wish to purchase it.
You will not pay any extra for using the link, however you will be helping to support the channel moving forward.

Go the watch for 98€ during the june summer sale. Decided between this model and other addies divers which was very difficult. Now after watching this video, i am even more excited!
Well done 👍
I ordered mine yesterday from AliExpress. And after this review, I’m glad I pulled the trigger. Keep up the great work sir!
Hope you enjoy it!
How can you not like this watch especially at that price I'll be pulling the trigger for sure Thanks for sharing as always my friend and take care of that back Be well 👍
Hi Michael. It's a very decent watch and a return to form for Addiesdive for sure. Cheers buddy. :)
It is a very good looking watch John. Nice size and looks good For the price I wouldn't complain about the ghost date. 200m is good. I have dived with a Steeldive Tuna and a Heimdallr Monster as backups and both performed fine, I think I'd get a similar performance from this . Excellent video as ever !
I don't mind mentioning water resistance with Addie's as I have gone paddle boarding with them on a few occasions with no issues 🙂
This is a gorgeous watch and there's about a half dozen others on my radar, but I'm starting to think about where pieces will fit in my collection.
Will i wear them often and feel good wearing them? Idk, I'm going to keep my eyes open and keep everything in mind.
Cheers brother, its good to see that kind smile!
Thanks buddy. Take care.🤗
Nice review and great to see your face!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you 🤗
nothing screams mao tse tung like a blue AR undercoating
That's a great looking watch and great, to the point, review as usual. Cheers.
Really nice. This is a must buy.
Nice looking watch and strap monster aswell ,great review thanks
Cheers Sean. Thanks for watching 🙂
That's a beaut. If I didn't already have 50 gazillion dive watches this would be on my radar.
I think you're exaggerating....40 gazillion maybe ....☺️
Like and subbed. Been watching your vids recently and I find them clear and informative. Not so many good ali reviewers. Best from Dundee....
Much appreciated! Buddy.
Look's great!👍
Very nice watch, ideal for the summer, cheers john great review.
Cheers Darren
Damn, from your thumbnail it looked blue! Great piece.
Another fine review of a great watch! looking around my shelf to see if I can make room for another Addiesdive ...well guess its a trip to Ikea...time for another shelf it seems
Haha. Great name for a DIY come watch collection channel! 😉
@@johnswatchjointI'd watch it 👍 don't even want to think about the follow. up...building an extension for your watch collection...that's divorce material right there or D.I.V.O.R.C.E if you remember the Billy Connolly song
It looks Great value,its on my list!
Nice one Jason.
Like the gilt hands and domed crystal, they got this one right.
That's a good looking watch. Why don't they use the proper movement, but like you said, it's not a real big problem. Would like to see it on a bracelet. Thanks for the review.
Cheers buddy. Thanks for popping in :)
Nice one...
Thanks 😊
Chinese watch of the year. Period. ⌚
LOGO, LOGO, LOGO 😩😩😩
Otherwise this is a hit! Thanks for the review!
I don't see anything wrong with the logo.? Each to their own :)
It kind of looks like the blue Ar coating is the same as the watch dives one.Which is one thing I hate about that watch - love everything else about it but the blueness at various angles spoils it - especially when the whole dial looks misty blue. Ive got many aliexpress watches but none have this kind of blueness to them. I do like the fact its bigger than the watchdives
Great review 👍. That is a great looking watch, nice hands, no date dial, and I like the case and bezel. The only thing I wasn't keen on is the blue AR, but it isn't a deal breaker.
It's a sleeper. Out of the recent haul I just found I couldn't ignore it...bugger!
I put mine on a shark mesh band, gorgeous
It does look nice on that
This looks really good John the specs are great and it has the certina PH diver vibes which is to big for me so I am going to put it on my list!
Hi Anthony. Nice one :)
Good underhang, tight action and a bit harder than you would like! Am I in the right place for watch reviews?
Great looking watch John and good review thanks I would like to see a comparison review against the Addy's dive tuna if you still have one
Sorry but I would only compare like for like and the Tuna was immediately bought by a subscriber :)
I like Watchdives better with the large triangle at the top and no logo.
That large triangle on the WD looks horrid 👎
Nit sure how I feel about that dial. 🤔
Waiting for a quartz option. Awesome watch!
Nothing on the horizon I'm afraid 😣
@@johnswatchjoint maybe sometime down the line. 👍
We can always hope 🤞
I wish such homages would use aluminium inserts instead of ceramic. Would look more vintage.
I totally agree with you. I will be doing a feature on Watchdives later in the month or early June so stay tuned as I am sure you will see something that will catch your eye ;)
ceramic is better
Ouch. My wrist is 7.45.
Nice watch, I'm looking forward to it in blue. :)
Just attach one of your own longer straps :)
Great watch. I have the version from Watchdives with date at 6 o'clock and i believe mineral crystal or some type of plexiglass. I remember paying around $140. It also has an automatic movement, i think NH36. Looks identical.
This Addiesdive is a better purchase in comparison. Thank you for sharing John.
Correction: the Watchdives also has a sapphire crystal.
Cheers buddy. A rather simple review but it's a simply finished watch 🤠
@@johnswatchjoint👍🙌
To me AD2056 looks like a rework of the AD2105 with new bezel, dial and hands. As I'm pretty scared of ghosts, I'll pass this one and enjoy my trusty 2105 instead
Yes they will re-purpose certain cases :)
A bobby dazzler but for me would need a bracelet.
Haha...you've been watching too much Oak Island Jon 🤗
How does this compare to the Watchdives WD1967?
I have already answered that one :)
A very nice one that hasn't yet been homaged to death. While I find it increasingly hard to forgive San Martin the use of ghost position movements on no date watches, But I think at this price point it's justifiable.
Cheers buddy. Short but simple review as it's a pretty straight-forward piece....and I like that about it :)
my watchdives seamaster 300(white dial) is crazy good for one forty
Trying to get one in :)
@johnswatchjoint sold out after i ordered one. sorry govna.
@johnswatchjoint sorry they are sold out now
@@johnswatchjoint As soon as you get one under your eyes, take a close look at the hands. Mine are slightly twisted. I love that one anyway. 🤷♂️
How does it compare to the WD1967?
I suggest you watch my review. The Watchdives is a lot more detailed with subtle brushed and polished surfaces as well as date options and has a high quality bracelet included. It is smaller but also has an extra 100m of water resistance. It's a beast of a watch at its current price
Like yourself i think the OG is the one . I'd say they've done a decent job all round , size, dimensions , lume etc , not so sure about the price on rubber but its up my street either way .
It is cool and comes in cheaper than the Watchdives version but it had a lot more going on and it had a good bracelet :)
This would be great without that dreadful logo.
I really like the profile of the midcase. Unfortunately, the caseback ruins everything and 13.7 mm is just too tall for a watch this size. Great review of it!
Right? How about a miyota mvmt and a flat caseback to to trim it down a to a more skindiver-esque profile? Might be a fun mod...
That my friend is a corker , now I need a plan to get it past the wife
Ah .. I feel your pain. On your days off you have to formulate new plans of action just to stay ahead. It is an impossible task as they know us so well 😟🤞
Is really a diver or just a snorkler?
If it doesn't have Diver's on the dial it is not ISO rated to that depth but I go paddle boarding and have used a few Addie's watches for that with no issues :)
Too big
Wow.....;(
@@johnswatchjoint i'm a lanky :(
You should still be able to manage a 39.9mm though? You could always try the Watchdives version which is 38mm and is supplied on a bracelet if that helps :)
@@johnswatchjoint I'm waiting for their V2 they announced on Reddit
