The lug complaint seems silly to me, you are never ever ever going to experience the watch with the bracelet pushed back against the watch this way, so it is a non-issue and extremely nit-picky. Similar with the mineral crystal, how are you scratching this? Are you grinding it against your keyboard? Finally, if you don't like the style of a watch, does that make it "trash"? If you want a watch with a 6-o-clock date window, or a bigger crown, perfectly matched faux-tina (that itself seems like an oxymoron: do you want it to look like patina, or not?) or no date window, maybe look for another watch? "Trash" is a bit harsh. "Not for you" would be more accurate.
I'm just pointing out the bad areas of design. Giving my reasons as to why I don't think the watch is a good pick. Feel free to disagree with my opinions, that's fine.
He pretends to be objective but he’s one of those reviewers that believes nothing can come close to originals and if it’s Chinese it’s bad. No one’s saying AE watches are the prime time but he stays clear of the highly rated one and will pick a bad one to fuel that China = Trash agenda.
@@TopTierTickerWhy didn't you pick a different Addiesdive watch then? They have plenty of options for the same or less money. This "review" seems like a hate piece. But we know that you hate Chinese watchmaking so it's expected...
@@johnhunterpPhD Did you not listen? I ordered this watch because I thought I would like it. I didn't once I opened it. So I'm sharing my thoughts as to why I don't. Also, I don't like Chinese watches? What a load of bollocks. I literally share another Chinese watch you should buy instead in the video.
@@TopTierTicker Again. The whole thing seems like a hate piece. You may "say" you bought it because you thought you'd like it, but it doesn't come across that way
The whole review seems very nitpicky to me. How is this watch trash? Is it made of cheap alloy instead of steell? Is it falling apart? Did they promise sapphire but put mineral in it? No, no, and no. The lug complaint sounds silly because I'm currently wearing a Seiko with the same "problem" of protruding lugs - and it has never been an issue. This watch might be thick and not your cup of tea, but how is it "trash"? I am still not following. I don't really see the "cheap parts thrown together" demonstrated in your review. You are also very inconsistent. You were totally fine with the mecha quarz 36mm addies, although you could also nitpick many drawbacks, but in that review a piece of domed mineral was "fine for the price", but suddenly in this review it's a huge issue, although these watches are about the same price. I don't own this watch and I don't mean that all aliexpress watches are great, but in my opinion you just found one that didn't resonate with you and decided to trash it in the video as a product instead of just acknowledging that it's not meant for you.
I've bought it. Changed the strap for a leather one and I love it. I wear it every single day. Your complaint says that this is not a watch for you, just that. For me, it's good. Love the vintage look given by mineral domed cristal.
I'm happy that you enjoy it. Like you say, just not for me. You can get that same vintage look with both sapphire and acrylic btw. Acrylic being the actual crystal type that they used!
Hi, correct. I do mention this towards the end of the video. Regarding the mineral comment... Well, they had the opportunity to fix one of the Seiko's flaws then 😆
Trash?! Totally disagree, if I can say to you.I only removed metal bracelet and so love this watch - i m not takin it off day/night.I m just pointing that you could say what atracted you about this watch in the first place to be disappointed when it arrived. Last year I bought green Citizen Tsuyosa, but isn't so legible like this Addiesdive although it has other adnvantages.Things that I dislike about this Addie are not so big ( small white date and mineral crystal). But domed crystal, clean dial, nice stylish logo and hands, good luminescency and accuracy and comfort on hand is great.And I like that small crown, it isn t so small and it does the job. PS sorry for my lousy english
Well, I don't like it and I think it's crap! That shouldn't effect your enjoyment of the piece though. It you think it's good, enjoy my friend! Life would be boring if we all liked the exact same things.
Bro explained already why it’s trash. Endlinks are cheese graters. Lume doesn’t match. Crown is tiny and crappy. Domed mineral crystal is a scratch magnet and will look like ass in no time. Some people just read the title and immediately froth in the comments.
🤣 I think I'm just more honest with myself about it than most. There's some crap on there and some good stuff. I loved that Addiesdive Alpinist piece, love my $10 Sanda tank... But most of it is lacking substance. BTW, no watch brand is perfect. Same could be said for a lot of brands
I wouldn't say some are bad and some are good. I would say 25% are absolute jems for the money and 75% are crap like the one you got. You have to do some digging and you'll find the best ones but it needs some work. Also it is a matter of preference. My wife got me a casio sgw 100 as a gift 2 years back. My god i hate that watch. I hate it to the point i wear a 4$ synoke from aliexpress during yard work instead of it. It is comically large, the strap is sooo uncomfortable and the case angles and corners make it the opposite of pleasant to touch. To me thats a bad watch, but to the vast majority it is a good one if you see the reviews and ratings . Anyway, good vid mate, cheers👍.
The Seiko model that they 'homaged' is Seiko x TicTac (not the mint candy) SZSB series. TicTac is a watch store that usually found in Japan's shopping mall, making these line up JDM. I don't think they are discontinued. I got one with blue sunburst dial and yellowish markers last year while visited Tokyo. Priced about 400 USD. These line up kinda popular in Asia, hence, the existence of a homage of it. It's a reminiscent of Seiko Sarb series with a twist it seems. Recently, they issue a new anniversary dial. Cream with black markers and cathedral hands. You should look for it, Kieron. It's a beauty!
Indeed it is a JDM model. It's also a piece that you don't see mentioned on English watch review youtube much. I do agree that it is a real beauty. Although I'm kind of done with hardlex glass on my Seiko watches. I've scratched too many of them at this point to drop decent bucks on one Appreciate the background on the TicTac 🙏
It all just depends. I have had Addies and Cadisen that are AMAZING and have great QC. But I have also had a San Martin come BROKEN and the crown and stem fell out of it and the gmt crunched to a halt when I re attached it. 🤷🏻
Thanks for the honest review. I bought an Aliexpress PRX homage and it was terrible. It was Gold tone and brushed. The color and grain of the brushing between the case and the bracelet were drastically different. And it showed up with the logo and Powermatic 80 but obviously had the quartz second hand click. Buyer beware.
For the price, it's amazing. Trash? Most of your reasoning was about aesthetic preferences not QC which, looking at your choices for your own build don't match mine. I think this is a lovely watch mate and the quality is great for the price.
Appreciate the review. I had only seen a ton of positive reviews on this watch and I learned enough things from your video to probably take this one off the list.
I don't know whether that's just because they don't post the stuff they don't enjoy, like I was going to do with this one for example. Or whether it's all positive just for the sake of it. I feel that a lot of people are afraid of the backlash if people disagree. Whereas I really couldn't care less. I'll share my opinion regardless of how popular or unpopular it may be
Thanks for the heads up Kieron. It's one of those on Aliexpress that looks good, has a good spec sheet and makes you think you're getting a quality bargain! There are much better watches on there, you just have to really dig around. Great video mate, nearly at 50k subs!!!! 👍
You're criticising a £46 watch, as is it's £300 one. You talk about refinement, but you've clearly forgotten the price you've paid. I've 3 different Alliesdive watches, and they are great fun at an incredible price. Stop the click bait. Not that you care, but I've unfollowed you. I'll spend my time looking at the credible watch channels.
Before this video begins I can already see a problem. I cant tell the time at certain angles. I dont mind the crystal but I would prefer acrylic. I think you are right in that there are better option out there even from Addiesdive itself. Take care man!
Yes! I don't know why AliExpress brands are scared of acrylic crystals. Surely they're cheaper to make than mineral? I would personally rather see a piece of acrylic over mineral 100% of the time!
@@TopTierTicker I agree 1000% I think they dont want to come of as looking cheap and plastic. There is already the stereotype that Chinese goods are rubbish.
he right specs are poor... it could be better with textured dial, sapphire and another bracelet. hope they will listen and make a V2 because the hands and color are top
I bought four watches and discovered after a month they are junks. 2 are not water resistant at all. No 2nd stores wants them. So I gave away and bought Citizen and a Seiko.
The watch actually seems decent...but it has some details which rubbed the reviewer the wrong way. Others may actually enjoy the watch. Frankly I have not seem anything in the review which is horrible.
Kieren! thanks for the video Mate!! - I was almost going to pull the trigger on this watch a week back and decided otherwise to pick the Escapement Time Murph style watch.. Did you ever review them? Its one guy store and he does good homages.. take a look.
@@TopTierTicker Anytime and thanks for sharing all the insights. Yes Escapement time does make some good watches, one of the few watches that are never on sale in Alieexpress, he got few nice ones on his list that i got, Pilot, King Seiko & Longines vintage models and this Murph. try if you have any stomach left for homages ;) - thanks again for good videos.
"ticking the boxes on a spec sheet without delivering anything of substance" FINALLY somebody said it 👏👏👏 So many reviewers are like right, get the calipers out, mentioned the materials, job done. That doesn't make a good watch! One of my favourite watches is a £20 plated brass hand wound vostok with plexiglass and no WR. 0% on the spec sheet, 100% on character.
Yes! I absolutely agree mate. A good spec sheet doesn't make a good watch. A well thought out design with plenty of character delivers wayyyyy more substance!
it's just a production thing, the factory doesn't produce nearly as many NH38's so they cost more. I agree they probably shouldn't cost more but that's how it goes I guess
Mr. Pirate said it best. Less production, higher prices. Generally speaking, having a date complication is way more desirable to non-watch-nuts. Hence why that movement is the focus
Yeah, that's true tbf. Although a highly domed one like this would be a lot more expensive. I guess these watches aren't being made by watch enthusiasts so they just don't understand?
AliExpress watches with sapphire crystals have become so affordable that I don't see a point in buying watches with mineral crystals. I do like some fauxtina when it's done right but I do not like it when it's as forced as on this particular model.
Kieron always speaks the truth 🤔 I trust the brother 👍I found Top Tier Ticker just months after I started getting into watches 😎 I follow Teddy Baldassarre he got me started 😊 then I found Watch/Chris and the interest grew 😄 now with Top Tier Ticker it has become a full blown disease 😮 14 watches and still looking 😎
It's just as important to show the trash, not just the treasure. only by highlighting this can you stop viewers falling into this trap, possibly discouraging them from getting deeper into the rabbit hole we call a hobby.
Someone could still enjoy this watch, although there simply are just miles better options. I do agree though, I think it's important to share a negative review now and then to offer some balance.
I think the ones that are good get a lot of air time by reviewers, to be honest the same pieces just do the rounds over and over again, even different colourways of the same watch. So the good ones are pretty notorious or easy to find. That one you just reviewed is shit, I am amazed you bought it. Good honest review though you can't polish a turd.
Half of me understands the attraction of finding a decent watch at a bargain price. The other half says, just save up and buy the Rolex or whichever other more expensive watch you like. Mine is more than 30 years old, worn every day and still going strong.
People spend thousands on phones and laptops they end up throwing away after a few years. So it makes sense to save up for the watch of a lifetime but it's okay to have a couple cheaper pieces to hold you off until then.
@@TopTierTicker No , I do agree. I really like the idea of the Chinese tourbillons and that Japanese brand zerootime or those others who do the wandering hour
I hate the ugly name “Addiesdive” so much I can’t bring myself to buy any of their watches when they splash that name across the top of every dial. It just screams “Cheap Chinese knock-off” on every one of their watches no matter how good they actually are. Contrast “Addiesdive” with, say, “Cronos” or “San Martin”. How hard can it be to come up with a decent brand name?

Mineral crystal should not be used ever. Sapphire is worth the added cost. Otherwise acrylic on the cheap.
Actually I like a smaller crown because it is less likely to dig into the back of my wrist. It also looks more elegant.
Hey, I think it's a straight copy of the Seiko TicTac colab reference SZSB006. That's why it has a mineral crystal. The original also had one. Cheers

Fair point: ‘domed mineral crystal’ is a magnet for scratches - bad combo and why for less than 10 quid it could have been sapphire.
