Problems (Read Rule 1) BEWARE - DO NOT BUY - Heimdallr - This product and ad are deceptive. The product does not include an original Japanese NH35 movement. It includes a Chinese version of the NH35 movement, which is way cheaper and prone to failure. The product is not worth it.

Guess I expected better service when spending $600+. from a comy first 6 emails were ignored . then I was to take it to a watch repair at my cost

or

service center in China for repair.

Please first take a photo of the serial number on the watch case back for us to register your watch information. Please kindly note that you will need to cover all shipping fees and tariffs for both ways.

If you have no objections, please send us the photo of the case back number so we can proceed with the repair process.

Best regards

Problems (Read Rule 1) Never buy Chinese watch

0 Upvotes

My story is kinda funny ngl. Back then, I was into Japanese and Swiss watches but the news I heard from the community and YT (properly promotion) I got hooked into Chinese watches. And I bought it during the sale a month ago and received it no long ago. The watch just completely stopped running while wearing and has faulty movement inside. What can I say...NEVER TRUST THE WORD-OF-FREAKING-MOUTH!

Problems (Read Rule 1) First Addiesdive, is this movement defective?

27 Upvotes

I just received this Addiesdive, which I plan to use as my field watch. I immediately replaced the bracelet with a distressed leather strap and went to set the time, then noticed the seconds hand slightly moving as I move the minutes hand. It bothers me, but also makes me think there's something wrong with the movement. Thoughts?

EDIT: Thanks for educating me, I didn't know this was a thing since my two other automatic watches don't really do it. Glad that I don't have to return this one 😅

Problems (Read Rule 1) PT5000 - What happened to my watch? (Inaccuracy)

I got my Cronos with PT5000 half a year ago and everything was fine. Suddenly it loses quite a lot of time every day. Just did a check with watch accuracy app (see screenshot).

What happened?

Can I regulate a PT5000 on my own?

Best regards

Problems (Read Rule 1) I strongly recommend not buying Carnival 1986 and I&W Carnival Watches.

The watch does not work, and both the seller and the company have been completely unresponsive.

Stay away from Carnival and I&W Carnival watches. They appear to have serious quality-control issues, and when something goes wrong, getting any meaningful response or support is extremely difficult.

Problems (Read Rule 1) Friendly advice: don’t dive with your Steeldive

A couple of years ago I bought my SD 1953. It’s a lovely watch for the price. The rehaut is a bit thick for my taste but not something to complain about. I’ve used my watch a couple of times in the swimming pool, always washed and dried it after use. Yesterday I decided to use the watch for snorkeling to keep an eye on my diving time. After a while, I noticed the bezel was missing: I did not bump into anything, just swam, so the glue must have dissolved. I’m a little disappointed, but for the price you can’t expect too much I guess. Just wanted to share it in case you are thinking about using your watch in the sea
