    In this Addiesdive AD2059 unboxing video, I unbox the new upgraded desert dial watch, which has an automatic Seiko NH35 movement, a sapphire crystal, and 100m water resistance. This isn't a fully detailed review, but I do unbox it on camera. This is also known as one of the 'sand dial' watches. Is this the best so far?
    This watch was purchased with my own money.

    IMHO the previous logo/font was better and I felt that it made an interesting combo for a GADA watch (even if there is no lume I think it's a very good GADA watch on a budget).
    I also prefer the automatic version with the white dial (and btw, the atumatics don't include the Deepsea Hunter text on dial, just the scuba logo).
    Great unboxing, thanks.

    Personally, I’d much prefer the quartz version. I don’t think the logo of “hunter” text on it is out of place on the sand dial. From a practical standpoint, many watch people say they want a mechanical watch, but most of the, actually just want a mechanical watch whose movement they will treat like any battery.

      An automatic isn't usually quite as accurate as a quartz but the battery never runs out on you at an Inconvenient time. Thats why I nearly always use an auto or a hand wind.

    A vast improvement but a shame they don't make it in a smaller size. The Escapement Time King Seiko homages come in both a larger and smaller size. I bought the smaller size and it fits perfectly on an Uncle Seiko 18 mm Jubilee bracelet. They need to do this.

    I have a larger sized wrist but maybe because I like vintage watches the 36mm doesn't bother me much, I would like to see these on leather watch straps. I think that it would look good with that dune dial. I would want it to be a fun watch vs a dress watch, i have much pricier dress watches, I just really like that dial- I put them both in my cart and we will see what the price is or the deals available on June 1

    I disagree that the script logo is an improvement. Also, while the 39mm case isn't bad, I would have preferred a 36mm case like the VH31 version. Tandorio has this same dial in 36mm or 39mm, with sterile dial options, sapphire, the choice of NH35 or PT5000 movements, but only 5ATM WR.

      @@casteltheghettomonk4392 Tandorio usually has very good build quality for the price, but their water resistance has been spotty. Tandorio's first watches had better ffinishing than Steeldive, but their lume was weaker. I Like Watches also pressure tested a Tandorio diver, and it failed at 6 ATM.
      Basically, they are a great deal for a business or dress watch, but don't submerge one.

    I much pefer the quartz version. Mainly because of the size but also because I rather want a Quartz watch at this price point. And that mecaquartz movement with the smother tick of the seconds hand is really cool I think. Further i don't really like jubilee bracelet and much prefer the oyster style bracelet. Finally I also think the flat sapphire on the automatic model looks cheaper than the domed mineral on the quartz model.

    I don't like the flat crystal but at least it's sapphire. I was one of the people who complained about the logo / branding on the dial but after seeing this watch I can't help but feel the dial looks blank or empty without at least a logo. Why didn't they make these changes to their smaller more popular VH31 model?

    That is one perfect sand dial! I want a watch with that exact dial, but not this watch 😂. For such a premium looking dial, watch around it looks too cheap and generic. Not bashing it, still great value, but I would appreciate a touch of "premiumness" even if price goes up a bit.

      I almost didnt because of it, but trust me, its not a big of a deal - primary on the sand color, because of the low contrast. We always see the watches on RUclips via macro lens, but in reality the logo and the writing its realy small and thin. I think i prefer the old one because of a sum of factors: thinner, lighter, smaller, seiko quartz vh31 (practical), and cheaper with the same "vibe" overall. Specially here in brazil, any products over $50,00 double de price (for real, sad), so the older one was almost perfect for me. Of course, the logo and writing could be better, but the new one its far for perfect too. Anyway, both are great in its own ways 😅

    The new logo is not doing so well on this type of dial in my opinion. In a way I feel like this watch looks cheap compared to the older model (you all know which) and not really finding its identity. Almost like its trying to please everyone and end up loosing its identity in the process.
