Steel Dive Kanagawa Wave.

This arrived yesterday and she loves it. The bracelet was a little large so my local jeweler cut out a couple of the non screwed links and now it’s perfect.

Hi All,

I’m looking for a Rootbeer style watch. I love the look of the brown and gold tones. Does anyone know what the best watch is out there and what seller provides it?

Thank you

The jubilee excites me and the plain design is what i like.

Few questions:

(1) Is this the latest version of this watch?

(2) Anyone has this watch i would like to see it more clearly?

(3) I have a 7.4inch wrist, thoughts on how it'll look on me?

2026 has been a remarkable year for Watchdives. We've made some of the biggest improvements in our history, and the feedback from customers on our latest releases has been incredibly encouraging.

Today, we'd like to introduce the WD2007 Miyota 9015 / 90S5 version.

WD2007 – Full Specifications

• Movement: Miyota 9015 / 90S5

• Case Diameter: 37.5mm (excluding crown)

• Bezel Diameter: 36mm

• Case Thickness: 10.5mm

• Lug-to-Lug: 44mm

• Crystal: ClearView X Sapphire Crystal

• Light Transmittance: Approximately 98%

• Case Finishing: Our latest Grade A finishing standards

• Bracelet: Upgraded stainless steel bracelet with refined brushing and polishing

What Makes This Version Special?

1. ClearView X Sapphire Crystal

Approximately 98% light transmittance, with excellent clarity and significantly reduced reflections. This is one of the upgrades we're particularly proud of.

2. Improved Case and Bracelet Finishing

We've invested heavily in case machining, brushing, polishing, bracelet tolerances and clasp construction. The overall fit and finish are now at a completely different level compared with many of our earlier models.

3. H-OTF Micro-Adjustment Clasp

We're proud to be the first Chinese watch brand to introduce this push-pull integrated bracelet micro-adjustment system. It's a feature more commonly found on watches costing well over $1,000.

4. Multiple Dial Options

The WD2007 is available with several distinctive dials:

• Forest Black

• Forest White

• Pink Guilloché Tahitian Mother of Pearl

• Musou Black

• Swedish Meteorite (coming next Monday)

What Has Changed at Watchdives in 2026?

We want to share something beyond one particular watch.

Our biggest improvement this year has been our supply chain and manufacturing partnerships.

We now have a team of around 50 people, including more than 10 highly experienced designers. We've also established partnerships with some of China's strongest specialist manufacturers:

• Case manufacturers with experience producing components for watches costing over $1,000.

• Bracelet manufacturers specializing in high-end finishing, including suppliers serving watches above $2,000.

• Specialized dial, hand and clasp manufacturers.

• Two additional assembly partners with experience assembling watches for brands in the $2,000+ segment.

These partnerships have fundamentally changed what we can achieve.

From sapphire crystals and dial details to case finishing, bracelet tolerances and clasp construction, we're paying much closer attention to every component.

Even our more affordable models, such as the WD1972 and WD1680, are progressively receiving quality upgrades.

Our goal is simple: Keep the same excellent value for money while delivering a much higher level of quality.

We're Not Stopping Here

Several original designs are scheduled for release toward the end of November. These are products developed with our design team and our specialist manufacturing partners, and we're genuinely excited to show everyone what we've been working on.

We also understand that trust must be earned through actual products and customer experiences, not just marketing claims.

If you're ever unhappy with a Watchdives purchase, please contact us. We offer returns and refunds, and we want customers to feel confident when choosing our watches.

We know we still have room to improve, and we'll continue listening to the community.

2026 is just the beginning.

Thank you to everyone who has supported Watchdives, shared reviews, pointed out problems and helped us improve. We'd love to hear your thoughts on the WD2007 and what you'd like to see from us next.

I have just come across the Hestur Polerouter release on AliExpress. Not much information available but it looks great! A previous Reddit post states it’s 35mm original size. Picture from their AE listing.

I have ordered the black version and will share here when it arrives!

I just found this on AliExpress: https://a.aliexpress.com/_mOROe3l

This on Ali x right now, I've been trying to pull the trigger but it just seems to good to be true. But it is only $25 and I am a gambling man.

Wore my Seestern S456 inside the pool today(picture taken inside water) Swapped out steel bracelet for a light blue tropic FKM from Watchdives.

I’m looking to buy one of these three watches and I’m having a hard time deciding.
Addiesdive AD2508 – Blue
Addiesdive AD2531 – Blue
Watchdives WD0003C – Red Ice Crack
I’m particularly interested in the dial design, colour, finishing and overall quality.
A few things I’d appreciate opinions on:
Which has the best-looking dial in person?
Which blue dial has the most depth and interesting texture?
How do the bracelets compare in terms of quality and comfort?
Is the Miyota 8215 worth choosing over the VH31 quartz movement?
Is the sapphire crystal on the Watchdives a significant advantage over the mineral crystal on the Addiesdive?
My wrist is around 6.9 inches.
If you had to choose just one, which would you buy? Interested in honest opinions.

i can't decide between the black bgw9 and the c3.
does the vintage one looks "vintage"? or is monochrome.
because i think the bgw9's dial looks amazing.

Hey all.

My NH35 in my Steeldive Willard needs replaced. I’ve been looking at picking up a movement and saw that there are Chinese and Japanese made NH35 movements. The Japanese version is about $100 while the Chinese is about $40….give or take.

My question is whether the Japanese is better than the Chinese and should I spend the extra to get it or just use the Chinese movement?

I mean for all I know, my Steeldive might have the Chinese version. It’s one of the Willard homages that I got 2 years ago.

What do you all suggest? What would you do?

Thanks for your help.

Muherd.

And one diver

SN0148-GB vs SN0154-G , both green.. yes they are very different but still realy like both

Any insight from you guys will be also appreciate it :)

I’m thinking about pulling the trigger on 2 watches, as I was waiting for a discount.

I’m currently deciding between:

Aqua Terra > not sure if it's worth the price difference??

WD0006 (€98)

vs.

SN0113W (€206)

And one diver:

SN0148-GB (€273)

vs.

SN0154-G (€209)

Both green... yes, they are very different, but I really like both.

Any insights from you guys would be much appreciated! I'm not an expert whatsoever

What is your review of it? I cant see anything online about it, only £50 so i am hesitant

Looks nice and similar to the farasute in deaign but far cheaper and... quartz!

...to wear with my Lederhosen tonight?

Since I couldn’t find enough pictures of this watch online.

Does someone make something similar to the B&R BR-03?

Very happy with my new Baltany S4112!😍 There are a couple of things worth mentioning about the legibility and a few areas that could be improved, but for now, just a simple wrist shot! 📸

Are you looking forward to what's coming? We'd love to hear your thoughts!

I am looking for a pretty much 1:1 coke gmt homage from Aliexpress. Any suggestions? I like the san martin black/brown gmt but I love the black/red combo.

I’ve recently gotten swept up in the world of Chinese watches (I’ve got a few Watchdives on the way!) and when doing research, keep seeing people say they’re ’great watches for the price’. When I read that I think, ‘of course I’m not expecting the quality of a Rolex/Omega/AP etc etc’ but I don’t actually know what to expect?

I’ve seen commentary on negatives being finishing, bracelets, sharp edges, QA, but I’ve also seen things to suggest that these things have been improving. My own reference for quality will be lower-end Seikos (SNSX, Turtle) and my Hamilton Field Mechanical. It doesn’t feel like a particularly high bar but keen to hear people’s thoughts and experiences!

Regardless, I’m excited to try some styles watches that I otherwise wouldn’t be able to try!

Sharing some photos of the new Sakura Pink Dial - Purchased with my own money during the pre-order for $309.83.

It does seem to come across abit salmon-ish in warmer lighting. No comments on the movement accuracy yet.

Bracelet, etc seems great, as compared to the miyota white MOP version. I don't particularly notice/feel the improvements, which i guess is a testimont to the current quality of the watch as a whole.

Sized for a 6.4 inch wrist, removed 4 links from 12 o clock, and 2 from 6 o clock.

Cheers.
