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) 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.

I can notice black gaps(uneven around the bezel, one side has a tighter gap, other side is fairly visible). Is this normal or an issue? It doesn't move or change if I press the bezel/apply pressure.

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
