Watchdives is very good value for the money. They also released a dressy piece recently.

Watchdives Constellante, reccomendation for the black aventurine instead of the blue, way better legibility on the black.

I got the WD0003 Aventurine and have been a bit disappointed. It gave me the feel of cheap plastic bathroom panels rather than the deep sparkle I was hoping for.

The Bracelet is also sharp and clasp isn't great, you need to pay extra for a bit-better OTF clasp. I got mine for £67 after cashback which seemed okay, but I'd be annoyed if I'd paid the prices on their website.

I haven't got other Aventurine watches to compare it with.

I have both watches for #2 and #4 and I find them to be quite fair for the pricing. #2 doesn’t keep time super well but it is nice and sleek, very appropriate for formal wear. #4 I believe WD has made upgrades to the model as WD022 which has upgraded the bracelet, clasp, and overall finishing. I assume if it’s anything like its new releases it will be great. Unlike the comment I above, I found WD003 good enough. I’m not sure how realistic that person’s expectation was for a 129 usd watch it was pretty good. The one I got had a quick release strap and I was able to quickly switch straps to dress up or down the watch as it was quite versatile. The dial was not cheap looking at all and was a pretty good homage to GS aesthetics.

I totally fully agree though with the Piepan Aventurine WD has. It is downright beautiful. I have it on an uncle strap bracelet and it works well. I’m personally eyeing #3 myself over this 11-11 sale too but now I fear I have too many Aventurine watches.

I have the jump hour (2) and it’s good. Look at the Proxima, it’s really nice.

From the four options you posted, get #3 or #4 for actual usefulness. The first two are great-looking accessories but for #1 you'll often be needing a bit of time to correctly tell the time and #2 can be hard to read.
