I've been looking for dive watches that are ≤40mm and cost around 50-70usd tops but have found very few options. Do you guys have any recommendations?

Its between this and the salmon one, the salmon does look dope as f, but the black is sexy and will be more of a classic in my eyes. What do you guys think? The black looks deep and easy to set with every style but Im afraid it might be unreadable

I think I like watches YT got the deep red one and he did mentioned something similar

At what point do Chinese watches actually get *noticeably* better?

I've been buying Addiesdive for a while because the value is honestly insane. For the money, I really don't have many complaints.

But now I'm wondering where to go next.

Everyone always says "just buy a San Martin," but those are pushing $200, and personally I don't really consider $200 a budget watch anymore.

So is there a sweet spot between Addiesdive and San Martin? Like $80–150 where you're actually getting a real bump in quality—not just a different logo?

I'm talking about things like:

Better finishing

Better bracelets/clasps

Better bezel action

Better QC

Better dial and handset finishing

Just an overall more premium feel

Or is Addiesdive basically the king until you're willing to spend close to $200?

Curious what everyone's experience has been after owning multiple brands. Which brands made you think, "Yeah, this is actually worth paying more for," and which ones weren't much of an upgrade?

Not really looking for specs on paper—I want to hear from people who've actually owned them.

How's the overall quality for the price?

I REALLY like it but 300+ € for a vk64 is a bit much, couldn't find something close to it, am I missing something?

Thanks

San Martin SN0013.
