this was my first watch. i wore it daily for years and years. Its a nice watch when youre young. Just looks a bit unrefined and like a toy now (I'm in my late 30s now).
Thanks for the greats review. Do you think it is similar to the Heimdallr or is it more or less the exact same watch? Looking forward to the comparison. I have to assume 75% of all Aliexpress watches are made from the same factory or same 2/3 factories. Thanks!
How is the accuracy of these watches? How are they doing with lume? how long does it shine in the dark? and another question: when the marks on the bezel coincide along the edges, does the bezel itself coincide with the recesses on the case? There used to be such a feature. But Heimdallr in the second generation sort of corrected this inaccuracy
The accuracy is about -5 to +15 seconds in average. But it really depends how well it was regulated. The lume is super bright! About 5am in the morning I still can see the lume, but it's really dim by that time . --> When the marks on the bezel coincide along the edges, does the bezel itself coincide with the recesses on the case? The answer is yet, it coincide perfectly
I'm not convinced that is "back play" per se. To see back play you would have to move the dial clockwise once it has clicked into position. You initially moved the dial anti-clockise and then allowed it to go back to the settled (clicked) positition. That would seem totally legitimate movement to me...
Agree, that's good already in terms of practical use. I just compare it with other models where the bezel clicks exactly into the right position and doesn't move anti-clockwise

Is this pretty much same watch as the addiesdive monster ? The Heimdallr is likely the best option but Steeldive and Addiesdive versions are cheaper so I'm curious if both the Steeldive and Addiesdive are the same watch - different logo....
@@ShortBetter Sure. I like the thicker bracelet links better lume of the heimdallr so may wait again for the August Ali Express sale to check pricing. Keep up the great work. Your channel and reviews are amongst the best out there. Shirt and precise and no BS. Well done.

Do not buy from China: I regret that I did: the date wheel was badly misaligned plus poorly regulated (-25 sec/day). Seller refused to refund or facilitate return (cost of which, UK to China would be around £45).
You have Aliexpress buyer protection. If you have a problem with the watch, you can open the dispute, provide all the details and after wait for their decision. Poorly regulated watch is not considered defective. That's why they refused to refund you. I had a few issues with their watches when the movement was broken. In that case, I got a full refund without needing to return it🙂
Weird that cos I've just used AliExpress buyer protection to get an exchange on a faulty Pagani watch and the experience was both easy and stress free 🤷🏾♂️
Got mine in blue. Outstanding. More impressive in person. Amazing value.
this was my first watch. i wore it daily for years and years. Its a nice watch when youre young. Just looks a bit unrefined and like a toy now (I'm in my late 30s now).
I have gen Monster, gen mini Monster and this one is really beautiful.
I like the red the least so personal preferences are real
I have it in coral blue which is gorgeous. I wear it more than my Seiko prospex save the ocean monster 😂

They look identical to me, but I didn't check the details carefully yet😄 Will make the video soon
Very helpful video. Thanks.
Thanks for watching😊😊

SD 1994L
Gracias
Mine has the best lume in my 20 piece collection.

Hi how are you, a question what about the lug to lug distance?? Who knows ?
Will measure it later and let you know
In your opinion which one is best Sea night or steel dive? About red dial which one is dark red?
It's a good question! I have these 2, will check it later and let you know. Or maybe film a new video??

I've made a review for 3 of them. Pretty much the same watches. If you don't go in small details, then choosing the cheapest option will be ok

@@jayfra100 thank you for supporting my work😊😊🙏
do you prefer this or the orange version?
I definitely prefer red! Orange colour seems to be a bit off..
Zafiro Ar? O no Ar? Gracias
Clear AR coating
worth it to buy this one?
At this price, definitely. It's cheaper than Heimdallr, and the quality is the same to me

Dont Tell lies buddy, and why are you complaining about a 50 euro watch😂
Weird that cos I've just used AliExpress buyer protection to get an exchange on a faulty Pagani watch and the experience was both easy and stress free 🤷🏾♂️
I don't need a watch to tell time. I love watches for how they make me feel. Chinese watches make me feel cheap and sleezy.
Avoid Chinese watches then😊👌
Damm it's ugly
Haha, so different opinions here
