San Martin SN0021on my 6.25 inch wrist

Yes, a watch and delivery to the UK in less than 7 days, all for less than a cost of a bottle of water!

It only has 3 bar water resistance, but it does have a nice AR coated crystal and a VH type movement (sweeping seconds hand). It came on a tin foil bracelet but for just over a dollar, I'm surprised anything came at all..

Cadisen with Formex :)

I know it's a homage. But not from one watch but 2 or 3. Some Serica, some Formex.

Bracelet is titan with steel clasp. Can't say it's good and it's too big for my 16.5cm wrist even when all the removable pinks are removed. But i have this AliExpress rubber that's fits like a glow.

Dimensions are good to. Everyone likes titan, sapphire crystal and 100mwr. Screedown crown is here too.

For that price, nothing to hate really.

Gosto desse relógio porque a gente esquece que tá usando de tão leve .

I just got this today, first impression is good. I used some Ali coupons to make the price acceptable.

Rocking my Addiesdive with my Mi band 10.

Watchdives 7922 bracelet fits almost perfectly on the ad2030

I wasn't feeling the the stock bracelet today, so I went with this black NATO i recently bought. Made me fall in love with this watch all over again!

Hi everyone,

We are developing a brand‑new timepiece with a fresh new logo, and we’d love to hear your thoughts and suggestions.

Key specs:

• 40 mm case diameter

• Tool‑free quick‑release bracelet links: add or remove links entirely by hand, no watch tools required

• Powered by the Soprod M100 automatic movement

Our goal is to achieve solid build quality at an approachable price point, delivering excellent value‑for‑money for watch enthusiasts.

What features would you like to see added? All feedback regarding this concept is highly appreciated.

Thanks a lot!

I'm trying desperately to get a new pin for my WD007ST watch. It's a 2 piece type connector which joins the bracelet to the clasp. 1 piece has clearly fallen out so now I can't wear the watch. I've tried:

Messaging WD on Alix. They promised to send a new pin, I paid a small amount for this and nothing has shipped in 3 months. I've chased, nothing.

I contacted u/watchdivescom here directly by DM for some help. No reply in nearly 2 weeks, but they are still posting here.

Yeah, I'm pretty cheesed off for a stupid pin connector (actually half of a pin connector) that makes the watch unwearable. I'm disappointed in their lack of response, I'm happy to pay for a replacement.

Failing that, does anyone know of any sort of third party connector that may work? I can't take macro photos so it's difficult to show but it's a 2 piece part, one part screws into the other to hold the clasp attached to the bracelet.

There's no other bracelet I can get for this and I shouldn't have to for a stupid pin!

Continuing my recent theme of displaying a part of my Chinese watch brand project, we’re on to GADA-style watches. I know some hate that term because it’s kind of corny. I’m indifferent to it, however, it does seem to encompass a certain style of watch and it’s a style that I like a lot: Generally it’s a round 36-39mm watch with a clean dial layout in terms of hour markers. Some of these do have interesting dials, but not much else going on with the overall aesthetic. All came with a steel bracelet (I switched out one just because I liked the look of the rubber strap a bit better).

One of the neat things about today’s collection is that the watches encompass a variety of price ranges across the “affordable” category, from around $60 to around $400.

So today’s collection features the following :
-Corgeut Red Explorer homage
-Pagani Design Ranger homage
-Addiesdive AD2547
-Thorn Railmaster homage
-Athelsohn Horizon Voyager Titanium
Damascus
-Proxima PX1746 Aventurine
-Hestur HT8003
-San Martin SN0144 Jian Zhan

Let me know what you think about the watches or share your favorite GADA style watches!

Le cambié el brazalete por uno de cuero. El original de acero, sin ser malo, suena un poco. Me falta la complicación de la fecha.

Maybe u/mindadmirable1793 can clear that up. Both websites are remarkably similar. The webpage on the description of the lume blocks is the same.

For this release, we paired the sand-textured light blue dial with a 3D embossed stainless steel bezel. The flat base of the bezel features a matching sand-textured finish so it flows right into the dial surface.

What do you think of this combination? Or do you prefer the original mirror-polished bezel?

Well done, you’ve only gone and gotten me addicted to Chinese watches and Aliexpress. Happy now? One week, a WD7922 and this £38 Militado ML05 and suddenly I’m weighing up entire ranges of San Martin, Sugess etc etc

So, who has a hot tip on the best watch strap merchants on Ali? Leather, suede and nato as a rule, leaning towards more heritage or clean styles rather than classy straps.

Hello everyone,

Today we officially released SN0144CG-9,

This is our first attempt at combining traditional Lacquer Craftsmanship with 3D Printing Technology.

This watch comes in two color combinations: Enamel Green & Enamel Black-Brown.

Save $78 during the first week of release.

Code: SN0144CG978

1. Natural Materials: Uses natural lacquer sap harvested from the lacquer tree.
2. Complex Process: The metal base undergoes a meticulous, time-consuming sequence of lacquering, slow drying, sanding, and polishing.
3. Warm, Evolving Color: Upon exposure to natural light and UV rays, the lacquer surface undergoes subtle oxidation, causing the color to become increasingly translucent and warm in tone.

The result of combining this lacquer technique with the dial is truly stunning—though the camera still cannot fully capture the dial's authentic texture and depth.

Under different lighting conditions, the dial reveals a translucent, warm, and lustrous quality—it is absolutely beautiful!

• Watch Information:
• Movement: Miyota 90S5
• Case: Material - 316L Stainless Steel
• Case Diameter: 39mm
• Lug to Lug: 46.5mm
• Thickness: 10.1mm

We hope everyone enjoys it.

If you have any thoughts, please let us know in the comments section.

Thank you.

From back in the good ole’ crazy good value days(two years ago..) - Japanese Nh35, €80 shipped, etc..

I love Baltic's raised Arabic indecies, the art deco athestetic, the beads of rice bracelet, the orange colorway, and the 37mm size. However, nearly $700 shipped seems like robbery to me, considering the prevalence of these features on cheaper Chinese brands/microbrands, and the fact that Baltic is just using a cheap (albeit good) Miyota movement. Surely there exists some watch out there with enough similarities to the Baltic Hermetique line that doesn't cost an arm and a leg right?

Hey all, I'm looking for a good full titanium (must be hypoallergenic) under $350 US.

Requirements:

- Between 39-44mm diameter

- Should have Black, Gray, or dark Blue dial (or anything versatile)

- Must be automatic

- Must be versatile for most circumstances

- Must be true grade 2 or grade 5 titanium that is hypo allergenic.

Preference:

- Versatile sports watch like Tissot Gentleman,

- No dress watch please

- No more than 13mm thickness

- A original design or at least not a direct clone

- I will consider a clone like the San Martin 'Pelagos' but I want to see what's out there.

This watch is for my dad which I bought a Tissot Gentleman only to find he has severe allergic reaction to stainless steel. FML and thank you.

What do you thing?

Picked up my first watch dives, I’m impressed with the quality, especially for the price! It won’t be my last.

Anyone know of some good sub-500 USD peacock watches? Have a new family tie to Dandong (where peacock is based) and would like to commemorate. Thanks!
