      The trouble with these is that they don't fit a casual look. These are THICK, with a capital T, at 15mm but look thicker.

      Likely to be a good cheap dive watch but it looks out-of-place when not near the water.

  • nokidsandthreemoney on 11/11/2023 - 20:59
    +4

    I have this exact watch. Bought it like 6 months ago for around AUD$150, and you know what, I'm not even unhappy seeing it half the price of what I paid, because I've worn it every day for those 6 months and it's that good. The amount of compliments I get on it is crazy, unsure if it's the green or something, but I had worn my Tag Aqua-racer for the decade prior to getting this watch, and I think more people have commented on this watch in the past half a year than my Tag in the 10 years preceding.

    If you're on the fence about getting this, just do it. It's a bloody ripper!

    • Hallaj on 11/11/2023 - 22:48

      Which colour you went with?

      • nokidsandthreemoney on 11/11/2023 - 23:37

        Green and I love it! I'm sure blue would nice too. My Tag is black so didn't want another one that colour.

  • BargainBogan99 on 11/11/2023 - 21:01

    Why do i want to buy this? Are these just a really good clone of a Seiko?

    • Jimothy Wongingtons on 11/11/2023 - 21:06
      +5

      Mate, it’s a good watch. You can't wear this in your bedroom by yourself. This is a moments watch. Those 2 am drives. Those beach days. Those summer nights in the city. Those vacation nights. That is what this watch is meant for. Little bit of tequila and a bad chick with you and I promise you will be vibing like crazy with this.

      Plus, it’s $79 bro. Practically peanuts.

      • Muzeeb on 11/11/2023 - 21:56
        +1

        That bad chick will cost more than $79 and just be a distant memory after 1 hour.

        This watch will easily get you through a decade for your 79 hard earned.

  • darkly on 11/11/2023 - 21:12

    Love my Steeldive SD1970, but one complaint (as mentioned in some reviews) is that the clasp is cheap.

    You buy this nice milled 18mm clasp as a small upgrade:
    https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/4000418482880.html

    • WatchNerd on 11/11/2023 - 21:38

      It comes with a milled clasp since 10th Nov. 2022

      Edit - Ok it's still mentioned in one of the pics but not the specs, so I might be wrong.

    • arbpotatoes on 11/11/2023 - 23:09

      Honestly if you're upgrading the clasp go straight for one of the micro-adjust ones you can also get on alix. Big comfort upgrade.

    Amazing price for what you get. I bought a black tropical FKM strap for mine and wear it way more than I expected.

  • airtime on 11/11/2023 - 22:26
    +3

    This is a great watch at an amazing price. It's a timeless recognised design being a 'Captain Willard' homage. Build quality on these is remarkably good; no sharp edges on the case, bezel rotation and click is nice, I like the bezel insert, crystal and AR are more than acceptable, dial is attractive, movement is good, reliable and readily serviced. I have never bought the SS bracelet as I've heard about some issues with them, so normally wear with colour matched NATO strap.

    Can't recommend these enough. Putting my money where my mouth is - just bought a 2nd one as a gift.

    Thank you for making me poor once again WatchNerd.

    This a great deal. Personally id get the classic black Willard with waffle strap. Which is what i did for around $115. Bargain at this price. Great watch, i need no other.

    • Jimothy Wongingtons on 12/11/2023 - 08:42

      need no other.

      Not even green on ss?????

      • airtime on 12/11/2023 - 10:40

        The SS bracelet that comes with these is bad - avoid. It doesn't even look like a match for the watch. End links don't match well, clasp has sharp edges and the overall look isn't great. Rubber or NATO is the way to go with these.

        Black is the most versatile colour. The green dial can be a bit hit-and-miss from the sunburst effect perspective. Most have little to no noticeable effect.

        These are great watches but you have to know which combinations work the best to maximise wearability.

      • figarow on 12/11/2023 - 12:29

                @Hallaj: Okay, so I measured my wrist and it turns out it's a lot closer to 6 than 6.5 right at the moment. :/

                From these angles, I still reckon it looks okay.

                • maverickjohn on 12/11/2023 - 21:49

                  @MonkDog: It does look a little big on your wrist honestly.

  • XeKayeM on 12/11/2023 - 11:11

    I love this watch and wear it to work as it's so comfortable. However I take it off for the weekends and by Monday morning the battery is dead and I have to rewind and reset the date and time which is quite annoying. Unsure if this is an automatic thing or I have a faulty watch but I thought it would last longer than that off the wrist.

    • WatchNerd on 12/11/2023 - 11:17

      Bro there is no battery, maybe watch this video so you understand what you're wearing.

      If you keep the crown unscrewed when you're not wearing it you can give it about 10 to 15 winds per day which should keep it running.

      • XeKayeM on 12/11/2023 - 12:27

        I actually knew there was no battery, I have no idea why I said that haha. I just meant to say that it's dead after about 24-48 hours. I guess that is why people have those watch cases that spin them.
        I think i would prefer a battery watch which I just change once every couple of years instead of automatic.

      Not aware of a Steeldive manual, perhaps someone else might have a link.
      The movement is a Seiko NH35, so any watch with same could do for basics. Crown is screw-down, and fairly common.
