That's a sharp piece 👍 I like the design for the DAY calendar function. I've purchased a few watches and watch accessories from Ali Express; with no QC issues on any of the purchases. What I've noticed with Ali Express purchases is that you cannot be expecting fast delivery on many items. Knowing this; I buy accessories with the understanding I'm going to be waiting a bit for delivery but, the item(s) are priced such it's worth the wait. All but one of my ⌚ purchases have arrived in a month or less.
I appreciate you making this review. I've thought about getting a Seiko Tuna in the past but to be honest there were always too many watches in front of it that I wanted. But here would be a chance to try something silmilar and check it out (size and wearability wise) and have some fun. This $179 price tage is crazy good for the specs on this watch. In fact this Proxima Tuna may be the absolute best value in a dive watch I've ever seen! Thanks
Well looks like I didn’t get date at six and day wheel. Don’t see this one. What is the model #?? Arg!! This is BS. Livid. For anyone else correct model # is GTDMM-LKHoS I should have done my due diligence, but you should have put a direct link to the watch Chris.
@@BAF605 Promixa is really decent for their build quality, and fantastic lume. If you'd said Parnis or Pagani Design with the same specs and cheaper, I would have said "forget it." That's why I asked. But never mind, thanks I guess
@@shawn1928Definitely not those two!! It was Chris's "Insane value" that prompted my response as if nothing else was in the same street. There are others of similar value is all I was pointing out and I have seen them cheaper. They all come in that plastic box too. :-)
@@BAF605 i'm trying to get you to spill the beans here, but apparently i'm having a tough time. lol so if it's not those two, and also not cronos, san martin, heimdaller, steeldive, addiesdive, berny, baltany, etc. etc. etc. ...then which Ali brand(s) are you referring to... that offers that homage at the same spec, build quality, and lume as the Proxima, but is cheaper. i'm not pullin your chain, i'm just really curious
Not quite for me, but I'm sure this is impressive. AliExpress watches can be a bit, hit or miss. Certian AliExpress brands do standout as being great values especially with great build quality as long as you're OK with homages . I've heard good things of Proxima and it seems they almost always impress with their lume.
Crazy specs for the dough. I don't understand the economics of this. Not normally a Tuna guy, but this is tempting. Especially that lumed bezel! BTW, I'm pretty sure the singular of indices is index.
You should check out the Proxima MM300 Chris. Its a Seiko Marine Master Homage for sub $200. Its INSANE!!!
Love it
Purchased a Proxima PX-01 Uni-Diver and I love it. Awesome lume!
That's a sharp piece 👍

Great video, love Proxima. I have their tuna and an MM200 homage. Lume is always crazy on Proxima
Excellent watch for the price
I went to Proxima's website and I checked the watch, the price is now $194. There are other models, I might get one. Thanks for a wonderful review.
That’s the metal insert bezel I think. SO confusing. GTDMM-LKHoS shows both.
Thats a lot of watch for the cash, never tried a tuna but i would be tempted by this especially with the seiko movement.

Plenty of other Ali specials doing the Tuna even cheaper, same specs. I suspect all made in the same factory. You can get a "Willard" for under $100.
@LOA same specs, build quality, and lume as the Proxima for cheaper? hmm, please do share
@@shawn1928 Please check for yourself. There are many sellers of Tuna types with same specs. Look for customer reviews. Proxima is nothing special.

Just ordered the Omnion CULTURE version of this
Thanks, Chris! That is a good value watch for the price. I like the 6:00 date window, but would have preferred the day complication be eliminated.
Great review. Amazing value.
Is it safe buying from AliExpress? Which is the best way to purchase? Beautiful watch and thanks for the review.
Yes, especially compared to a Seiko.

Thanks Chris !
Interesting design a bit big for my wrist .
does the watch have a removable shroud like a few seiko solar watches?
Surpising…..👍😜!! Best holiday watch….
Not my style but if it were, holy crap, what a value!
This is the greatest 179 dollar watch in the world
You have a spelling error. INSANE VALUE
Yep corrected it thanks 👍
The dial is much too busy. No thanks.
Chinese brands are putting Seiko to shame
"Inane" value?
The Timer Teller would go NUTS for this
Made in China which is a non-starter for me.
Sorry I can only give you thumbs up once. Hey wait... 👍👍👍👍👍
The day funktion is very cool ...✌️😃
