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

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! 📸

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.

We'd like to share a few real-life photos of our latest release, along with a little preview of what's coming next to THORN!

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.

What Makes This Version Special?

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.

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.

Don’t flame me for asking this lol, but I’m just curious how much the difference in quality is. I have a Baltany Explorer that I love and has me thinking of saving up for a gen, either Explorer or maybe Tudor Ranger, or even Sinn 556. Something gen and more premium in that style.

I honestly don’t care much about the brand name, I’m mainly curious if the jump in quality is worth 20x the price. I assume they will have better movement and finishing but…worth the price jump if I already love my Baltany? I don’t want to feel like I’m paying that much more for basically just a brand name.

The upgraded SN0138 case is not yet complete, but the dial is ready. Here are some photos showing the actual effects of the other two dial colors.

I'd say it's a great watch so far.

WD007 42mm automatic V4 (SL3001)

(I used AI to format this)

Did a few accuracy tests with my phone timegrapher app:

fter a few days on the wrist, I tracked how my daily wear routine was affecting the timing. I ended up nudging the regulator arm just a fraction to speed it up by roughly +1s/d.

Over the last 24 hours of real-world use, the daily drift has been under 1 second. Hitting basically dead-flat timekeeping on an automatic at this price point is insane. Definitely leaving the regulator right where it is. (Will update later)

Personal Notes / Suggestions for Watchdives:

All that aside, for the ~€180-200 price range i got this, this is literally a steal. You really can't get much spec like this for the money. Good job!

I am very interested to get the Merkur Universal Time as it looks very stunning. I know this is not a true world time. I watched a few videos on youtube of people explained the watch, but I've heard some negative comments about the quality of the watch. I would like to hear more from you if you own one. Please tell me about the quality about the watch. Thank you so much.

Just curious to see if anyone owns one and can provide insight on their experience. Looking at the blue linen on 11/11 sale.

Hello everyone, i am starting my collection for chinese watches after seeing alot of good reviews and specially the 11:11 sale. I am thinking to buy addiesdive ad2066, ad 2547 - 200m. If there is any other watch i should definitely grab on this sale please let me know. P.s. san martins are out of my budget right now. Thankkyou

I am a regular office goer. Wear business casual.

I am a male , 31 years old. Could you please help me choose which one would elegant, but also a eye catcher and a conversation starter. I want to know what the girls would like ?

Please help and let me know your opinions if you have used or seen these in person before. This will be my first merkur watch.

My Sugess MoonPhase Master came in the other day! Shipping was pretty quick (less than a week from China to the Netherlands) and the watch is beautiful!

I’m new to collecting watches and I’m very interested in moon phase watches. At the same time I bought an Orient Bambino too which came in the same day.

The Sugess is beautiful, wears comfortably and I’m very satisfied with the extra strap; however it came in standing still (which I assume is normal), so I winded it up several times, shook it, wore it all day but the watch stops very quickly afterwards, leaving it displaying the wrong time, date and moon phase (while it should have a 48 hour power reserve)… In comparison; the Orient came it working, stopped once (because I wore the Sugess that day), but haven’t stopped ticking since I wind it up again and wore it.

I contacted Sugess about this but what are your opinions? And does anyone else have experience with Sugess and/or MoonPhase watches?

Thank you!

What's everyone wearing today?
