I have the addiesdive Willard….fantastic watch. I’m a sailor and I’ve worn the watch while cleaning the hull of my boat underwater. Lots of dirt, grime, algae and barnacles and that watch has held up like a champ.
Congrats! Good video! Since you asked: Steeldive SD1970 Cap. Willard homage is arguably the MVP of AliEx homages. Got one AND a Seiko SPB151J. Already took them both to apneia diving sessions under 16 to 20 meters deep in the sea without a problem. Of course it's shallow waters, but goes to show that for the average recreational swim the SD is very reliable. BTW it is worth noting that the WR is measured in ATM (not meters), so even if you don't go very deep it is important to know the watch endures pressure (relevant if you'll swim in the sea with hard waves and vigourous strokes or if you'll practice any sort of aquatic sports - hence subject to impacts on the water.)
For the very 1st time in my life I've found an artist who makes awesome songs about watches! And the words can't be farther from every truth we face as watch enthusiasts. 🎉❤ You have opened my eyes to a different world of watches! We know homages are... Not well loved by a lot but this is something I'd buy off a heartbeat and wear 10!😂 Thank you ever so much! I'll keep coming back for more! 🎉
I have this watch, very well made & amazing value, I put it on a 22mm engineer style bracelet, love it. I also have 2 of their miyota quartz submariner pieces which are also nice for their low price. Thanks
That voice sounds a lot like Jim Skelton! What the blade behind that pocket clip at the startJim?! lol (I’ve watched a lot of your knife videos in the past, hope you’re well)
Still a lot of People hear Chinese made and automatically assume poor quality, that just isn't the case anymore, the Quality of a lot of Chinese Manafacturing has improved significantly, and the spec you get with a lot of watches is incredibly competitive, so much bang for your Buck, even with the Taxes & shipping charges. Only thing that has room for improvement is the Customer assistance & shipping. I only wish they do more original designs, because they're capable, example some of the St Martin original design watches, they managed to knock them out of the Park.
Almost unbelievable how good they are for the money.... I have an original skx j in unused condition . This Addisdive looks way more refined. And I have a monster tuna , that has the same movement. This is a real seiko movement. The bezel alignment is better on this Addisdive. I always thought the skx looked like it was a bubble gum machine prize. Fear not . These at wholesale is like stepping back in time 20 years or more in price
@@marlowkaplan3584 if I’m not mistaken, you can buy a spare sapphire crystal on Aliexpress. Lots of Seiko modified supply shops on there. But you’ll probably spend about half of what this whole watch costs to get it. Not sure. It’s supposed to be an easy swap too.

I like that watch and wouldn't mind having it around my eight-and-a-half-inch wrist.
Amazon carry them now...
Lots of watch for the money. Nowadays the stuff coming out of China is realy impressive for the price.

Mine is in desperate need of AR coating. The glare is crazy on the dome
