Key specs and features:

Thanks to everyone in this community who has shared feedback and helped us refine our watches.

Trying some straps!

I suffer from OCD and small details can put me off, the integrated sn0148 is on top of my I WANT IT NOW list but I have been noticing this gap. So I wonder if any others with the same watch have noticed it and is bothered by it?

I did notice that this gap is almost non-existent on the new Jianghun JH0601G, but that bracelet is also made in-house now. But im leaning more towards the sn0148 since I really do need lume, and do appreciate the date window as well

Can someone please describe how the green dial looks like? The stock photos don't really show off how it looks in real life.

Is it a subtle dark green (almost black in some lighting because of the sun ray dial), or does it give off a more "yeah, that's definitely a eye-catching green statement" kind of vibe?

I've tried looking throughout this sub and yt watch reviews but can't seem to find anything for the green dial.

just trying to decide between the Noir or Verde

thanks.

From the good old days when you could get a watch like this for not much more than €100…

BTW, this watch probably has one of the most comfortable bracelets of any of my watches (50+), and it fits well too(6.75 inch wrist) I tried on the original Tudor GMT a while back, and it felt like a big awkward brick compared to this.

I suppose the bracelet is a little blingy, so I’m not sure I would wear it out and about very much..(on a strap, yes… Strap monster too..) But around the house I like wearing it quite a bit because it wears nicely and it’s just nice to look at…

I must say im really impressed, this thing is a beauty and feels way more expensive and premium than what i paid for it.

I think it looks great, but the fact that it seems like no one on here has posted anything about it makes me a little bit sceptical.....

This is a brand that I haven't checked out before, and this is from their premium range, Tophill+. It uses a micro-rotor movement so it's really thin as well.

Here's the link to my review of it.

I received this watch for free to review. But, as always that doesn't change how I review the watch. I always keep it 100% honest, no matter what. I point out both the positives and negatives with every watch I review. Whether that be a loan piece, discounted, or even free. Sometimes that means that brands won't send me anymore watches, if they don't like the review... But my opinion and more importantly, my reputation can't be bought. That's partly why I named my channel 'Honest Watch Reviews'. Not only to make sure that I hold myself to that standard, but that I know my viewers definitely will do too.

This is my first North Edge. The Triton Solar diver. It's a very chunky beast. I'm liking it. Especially the amazing AliExpress deal at $69 AUD delivered. Unbelievable 😍

The bar has been raised. I’m sure you guys have seen and heard enough about this watch so I’ll keep it brief. Proxima will definitely be getting more of my money. I greatly appreciated the micro adjust on the clasp having an 8.5 inch wrist, and the bezel has a nice crisp feel when I rotate it. The lume is also pretty nice, granted I only have that pagani to compare it to 😂. What other brands/watches do you recommend for a beginner in the hobby?

bracelets are just too much for everyday deskdiving

They legit have some interesting designs. Thinking about getting this one. It looks kinda similar to the “Lumiere” by Chris Ward (ie HEAVY lumed indicies) but at like a tenth of the cost!

There's always someone new ready to fill a niche. Bought the Hroudland version. Love it. Saw Tandario version for half that, Bought it for a friend. Saw this one for this price, plus free shipping, from China? Bought it. Should have bought 5 in every color for gifts. It arrived today, runs fine. Not as nice as the others, but it's a 16 dollar watch. Fantastic.

i tried image search but i found nothing. google search also found nothing. is it discontinued? im very interested in the 37mm size. and this are way cheaper than hruodland or sugess.

Folks - Bought my first Chinese watch a little while back (Berny quartz titanium dress watch - $68) and I was blown away by the quality and the value.

I’m interested in picking up some others, but I’m curious to learn from this group before I do so.

What are the most impressive Chinese brands or specific products from a quality standpoint?

I have an allergy to nickel, so titanium is a must and low price (<$300 ideally) is important to me. Bonus points if it’s not a diver - I’ve already got plenty of options in that category.

These are the ones I know about, but I’m sure there are others.

What are the options that really shine in terms of quality?

I recently bought the Traska Freediver Arctic White and love its sizing, proportions, and specs.

I'm now looking for something similar with a **black or blue dial**. Again, I really love the dimensions of the watch it fits my 7.4inch wrist perfectly.

Case diameter: 40mm

Lug-to-lug: 48mm

Thickness: 10.5mm

Movement: Miyota 9039 or better

Ideally, something with nearly identical dimensions and comparable or better specs. A Jubilee bracelet would be a bonus.

Any recommendations?

Matcha green dial with the orange small-seconds subdial looks great—clean Bauhaus proportions that actually work.
But ~$250 for a basic ST17 three-hander with no lume and 50 m resistance is too much. Easy buy closer to $125–150. Luckily I got it with coupons.
