    Good review 👍 a little large and thick for my liking, but I do like the overall look. I think it is shame when the list price is high but 40% discount is available, why not drop the list price 30% and then offer 10% as an incentive?

    Excellent review and a very nice watch .Great lume too! I wouldn't mind if the GMT hand was a bit more distinctive. I'm also surprised that they used Seastar which is a copyrighted brand of Tissot. But I suppose it's China, they don't care. Will definitely check them out. I like good lume and this watch looks like a very good diver. Confession. I had the Tissot Seastar and one of the reasons I sold it was because the lume was rubbish. Now I can get a Seastar with decent lume for a better price !

      Thank you very much. They might not be great when it comes to copyright, but they definitely know how to make a really good watch for a good price though... Especially when it comes to the lume 😉

    This watch probably would wear nicely on my 6.5" wrist since this watch has female end links. The crystal appears to a lower hardness sapphire which is both a slightly good thing and a slightly bad thing. It is a slightly bad thing in that it will scratch a bit more easily, yet it is a slightly good thing since it is a bit less likely to shatter. I like the fact that the knurling on the bezel is raised up a bit from the case. The AR coating appears to be a simple MgF2 coating. An AR multi-coating would have a more neutral color and would somewhat further reduce the reflectivity of the bottom side of the crystal. On the other hand, I don't mind the blue tint of the AR coating. I also noticed that the spring bars for the end links are not bent. This indicates precision in the drilling and placement of the lug holes and that the correct diameter spring bars are being used. The end result is that reattaching the bracelet should be very easy to do. I also noticed that the bracelet links are properly finished and brushed on the normally hidden areas in between the links. The overall aesthetics of this watch are very nice and visually appealing.

    I’ve got 2 Aquatico watches & they’ve been really good! I do agree with the heavy discount sentiment. Just drop the price from the outset. Nonetheless worth considering their range in general.👍🏼

      Which two do you have? That would make more sense, for sure.

      Are you tempted to get one with the discount then? If so, which dial option would you be going for?

    At 3:47 it looks like the bezel has two small holes at the 17 line... is that normal for carbon fiber?

    I like the watch, except I'd prefer this to be a 40 mm. And I'm not a massive fan of this particular style of clasp, it's blocky and not the most comfortable. There are better ones out there.

    • @HonestWatchReviewsHWR
      @HonestWatchReviewsHWR  Před 3 měsíci +1

      A 40mm version would be nice. Yeah there are slimmer options when it comes to on the fly clasps. But to be fair, this is a 'proper' divers style one.

    I like your reviews and look forward to what you are looking at. However, thickness of a watch is a bench mark for me. Once you posted the stats. I turned off the review. Calling it , "chunky," may be accurate , I guess it's vague enough to acknowledge a problem without offending the watch maker. Whatever you said after that will forever be unknown to me.

    • @HonestWatchReviewsHWR
      @HonestWatchReviewsHWR  Před 3 měsíci

      Thank you. Unless you have a smaller than 7" wrist it actually wears quite well, despite the size. If you check out the rest of the review I actually show it on wrist on both the bracelet and strap. As well as some nice macro shots too 😉

    It does look a little chunky but it's a bargain at the price.
