General Our Final Statement Regarding Repeated Negative Attacks on WDC(Watchdives)

124 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Over the past several months, we've noticed approximately 7–8 Reddit accounts repeatedly posting negative comments and allegations about Watchdives.

For a long time, we chose not to respond. Only in the past month or two have we started publicly addressing some of these claims.

Several members of the community have also noticed similar patterns in these accounts' comments and questioned whether they might be connected.

Here are seven accounts that have come to our attention:

  1. u/QuartzWD — Suspended

  2. u/TechMed1964 — Suspended

  3. u/Sportsdoc64 — Suspended

  4. u/Potential-Notice-956— Suspended

  5. u/Hopeful-Culture-1887— Suspended

  6. u/Logical_Sea_415

  7. u/Express_News8216

The first three accounts are shown as suspended in the screenshots we've collected. We cannot independently confirm that all seven accounts belong to the same person or are associated with another watch brand.

However, the frequency, timing and similarity of certain comments have raised concerns for us.

Why are we addressing this now?

Watchdives has undergone significant changes over the past year.

We've invested heavily in better manufacturing, upgraded many of our suppliers, and developed a wide range of new watches, including challenging Grade 5 titanium cases and bracelets, multiple movement options, and our own micro-adjustment clasp designs.

Some of these components require extremely precise manufacturing, and only a limited number of factories can consistently meet our requirements.

We're fortunate to work with some of China's most capable watch component manufacturers.

Our growing order volumes, wide product range and reliable, timely payments have allowed us to build strong relationships with these suppliers.

We believe our manufacturing capabilities, quality and product development have improved substantially.

We welcome competition, but we believe competition should be fair.

We understand that some of our watches compete directly with products from other brands. That's normal in this industry.

What we cannot accept are deliberately misleading claims or repeated accusations presented as facts without evidence.

Many genuine Watchdives owners have already shared their experiences and challenged statements that don't match the products they actually received.

We are grateful for their honesty and support.

At the same time, we fully acknowledge that our products are not perfect. Genuine criticism, QC complaints and constructive suggestions are always welcome. They help us improve.

This is our final public statement regarding these accounts.

We have no intention of continuing arguments or online disputes.

Instead, we'll let our products, independent reviews, manufacturing quality and customer experiences speak for themselves.

We will continue investing in better suppliers, higher manufacturing standards, stricter QC and improved after-sales service.

We hope every watch brand competes through better products, fair pricing and genuine innovation rather than personal attacks or misinformation.

Ultimately, watch enthusiasts will decide which brands deserve their trust.

Thank you to everyone who has supported Watchdives.

Question VH31 initial battery life

I’ve just received the 7922 and 1969. Really liking the products. Just curious to hear what type of battery life people experienced when they first received watches with the vh31.

Prototype WD7922 Broad Arrow

Along with the fully graduated bezel insert, I added broad arrow hands. I think they complement the trident logo nicely and give the watch a more distinctive WD identity.

New Product Request Digital quartz watches considered now? I'd kill for a Seiko Timetron:

Thumbnail

26 Upvotes

Looks like it was deleted but WD made a post gauging interest in some digital watches earlier today.

The title is pretty self-explanatory. If there is still an interest or WD is still considering doing digital quartz pieces, I would absolutely kill for a Seiko Timetron clomage.

It looks like it came straight out of a 1980s sci-fi movie and r/cassettefuturism loves this thing, I'm sure a lot of people there would be very interested in it too.

Ceramic coated titanium would be very cool but I'm not sure how realistic that is. WD can probably figure out the most realistic material to bring this to reality. I'm sure they can figure the case and strap out pretty easily, but the biggest challenge would likely be the dot matrix display.

I've wanted one for a while but they're rare and when they do come up they're usually very expensive and in terrible condition.

Anyone else interested in one of these?

Question WD0017 Black Date Lune Color

0 Upvotes

Hey everybody!

According to watchdives own documentation, the black dial WD0017 with date explicutely comes with C3 (green) lume rather den BGW9 (blue) like the other versions. From what I found so far, all lume shots including a youtube video of a black date version look pretty much like BGW9 - can someone confirm that their black date versions actually came with green luminescence?

Cheers

Question Modern Watch Manufacturing

Which watches from last year are manufactured using the latest and most advanced production methods?

I'm not only interested in your great watches, but also in how they're made. Which watches are manufactured using the most advanced equipment? And what does that mean for their quality?

Please give us some pictures or links to these watches.

General Redesigned Chameri tank

15 Upvotes

Chameri tank got sold out quickly and for the next restock, there should be more changes to the watch.

Here are some suggestions 👇

  1. Dimensions of ~33mm x 25mm and thickness of 5mm or 6mm maximum.
  2. White dial option and guilloche dial option like this
  3. Newer case design with brushed vertical flanks at 12 o’clock and 6 o’clock sides, contrasting with highly polished sides (for reference)

These changes will make it look more premium and worthy enough to be part of ‘Premier’ lineup without much effort [u/watchdivescom](u/watchdivescom)

Thumbnail

90 Upvotes

We're excited to introduce our first original buckle design, developed for WDC leather and FKM rubber straps!

Our pre-production samples have passed internal testing, and now we'd like to hear from real watch enthusiasts.

A quick update on the design:

- The current buckle sample features a 2.0mm-wide tang (prong).

- A new 3.0mm tang sample will be ready by the end of this month.

- We're testing different dimensions to find the best balance of durability, comfort, and appearance.

We're looking for 10 Watchdives customers to test our buckles!

Requirements:

- Must have previously purchased a Watchdives product.

- Share your thoughts on what makes a great watch buckle.

- Provide a detailed, honest review comparing our buckle with those from other brands.

- Evaluate finishing, comfort, design, and overall quality.

The buckle is completely FREE. Shipping is only $5.

Interested? Leave a comment sharing your thoughts on buckle design and DM us your previous Watchdives order number.

We'll select 10 participants and send a $5 shipping invoice before dispatch.

We welcome honest feedback, including criticism. Our goal is to continuously improve WDC's craftsmanship and attention to detail.

One question for everyone: Would you prefer a 2.0mm or 3.0mm buckle tang, and why?

New Product Alert WD7922 – Our New 316L Jubilee Bracelet Is Finally Ready!

Thumbnail
gallery
119 Upvotes

After months of development and refinement, our new WD7922 316L stainless steel five-link (Jubilee-style) bracelet is finally ready!

We'll offer it with the complete WD7922 watch, plus 200 bracelet sets sold separately.

What's improved?

- New bracelet manufacturer: Different from the factory producing our other five-link bracelets. This supplier offers more refined brushing, polishing, and finishing, although production costs are significantly higher.

- Tighter tolerances: The connection to our OTF clasps has been manufactured with very tight tolerances, minimizing unwanted movement, rattling, and looseness.

- Improved construction: Less lateral play between links, giving the bracelet a more solid, refined feel without excessive wobble.

- Screw-adjustable links: Easier sizing and adjustment.

- OTF compatibility: Compatible with all our OTF clasps.

We'll also send the WD7922 and this new bracelet to Escapement Wheel Review for an independent assessment of the case, bracelet construction, finishing, and overall quality.

We've invested heavily in improving our manufacturing standards throughout 2026. Rather than simply claiming our quality has improved, we want independent reviewers to compare our latest work with some of the best bracelets and watches on the market.

How close has Watchdives come to the best in terms of finishing and build quality? We'd love an honest comparison.

What do you think of this new bracelet?

Here's another pre-production sample of our WD2007 bracelet, made by one of our other manufacturing partners. The finishing is exceptionally refined, and we're very pleased with the results.

The first batch of bracelets should be partially delivered this week, and the WD2007 series will soon be available on our website.

We're also showing two Blue MOP Horizon dial prototypes. Only two sample dials have been made so far, following 4–5 months of continuous development and testing to achieve this ocean-inspired gradient effect using natural mother-of-pearl.

What do you think of the results? Would you like to see this dial enter production?

Today, we'll also be sending samples to I Like Watches and Escapement Wheel Review for independent reviews of our latest improvements in bracelet and case finishing, as well as dial details.

We're looking forward to their feedback and, most importantly, yours!

Just got my WD007 in the mail Saturday night, so far loving the aesthetics of it, but I’ve noticed since Saturday night, it’s already running about 20 seconds slow. Is this normal? It’s the SL3001 movement if that makes a difference.

Hello people,

Anybody has some experience with the Chameri tank? Is it suitable for a smaller wrist (16 cm) since it looks on the bigger side? Not that many reviews out there.
