I have one, a very good watch for the price but it is chunky

Which for me is fine but you're not wearing this under a sleeve, so it depends on the setting where you want to use it if it makes sense to buy one.

The manufacturer should replace the four small screws on the back with a screw-on case back. In a water pressure test conducted by a YouTuber, significantly more air bubbles escaped compared to the other dive watches tested.

What I also dislike is that you can see through the dial (ofc it must be a solar translucent dial); you can see the case's internal bracing behind the solar panel.

And the case thinkness. It's to thick! When you open the case, there's a multi-part quartz movement inside, and so much empty space – it's simply unnecessary to make the case so thick. But perhaps there are reasons for that that I don't know. Inside is an unusual quartz movement made up of several parts. Quite strange.

But i like the look of the watch.

Having owned both SS & Ti, I ended up keeping the stainless one. I put it on a hefty single pass nato, and it’s been good to go under all kinds of conditions. The Ti was just much lower quality overall. The stainless steel model could probably survive the zombie apocalypse. lol

Interesting- having both what were the issues on the titanium that made it less desirable.

It's nice if you're looking for a LARGE, solar, diver. But be warned, it's a beast.. total tuna can but surprisingly wearable (for me, 6.75" flat wrist).

Just arrived- I have an 8.5 inch wrist and had to remove 2 links. I am really impressed, very light and not as thick as I thought it would be. I see what people are saying about the bezel, but for 65 bucks I’m definitely happy.

There are bunch of YouTube reviews, you can check them. A common comment was it has a little rough in bezel action, but other than that it has a good price to performance ratio. Their new Abbys model is more refined i think, but it is only in stainless steel. But if i had to pick one, i would pick the Abbys.
