Heron Marinor Review: One of the Best Divers Under 1000 

Hope you love yours. Shouldn’t be too far away now

As long as we got the wife’s approval it’s a winner haha. Enjoy yours man

Completely fair. I like the flair about it. Different from any other marker we see, but agreed it could be smaller

Ya maybe they just wanted to be unique. Or liked the way it looked. Not quite sure!

Thank you! Marinor actually stand for Mariner and North (star)!

It is a little confusing. I mean to skip to 7:07 In the just one more watch video I have linked below

It is worth mentioning that the lume has been improved in the prodcution models!

No this one is the Caribbean!

@@theknightswatch I feel like that style of colorway doesn't really work with this style of watch. Mido ocean star or doxa sub 200 have nice carribean styles but this style suits dark blue/black better

I’ll have to look into the Alpina. I usually don’t love that brand just because most of their pieces are too large for my taste, but I’ve enjoyed them from afar. I don’t think I came across lukewarm on this one, I do think it’s a fantastic watch and as the title suggests, a fantastic diver for the price. Always things to improve and like you implied, very diminishing returns once you go to some of these luxury brands

​@@theknightswatch I meant to say Alpina Seastrong Diver Heritage, the ocean star heritage is from mido which is also good. Definitely not big and probably my best watch (bought for $650 lightly used but better than the LLD imo). I'm not really criticizing you specifically, I just find the watch community very odd. They hyper-obsess over some watches that are objectively 5-10x the price of what they're worth..many of which are outright ugly as can be proven by asking any "regular" person and yet countless much better watches are being produced for much better prices and get ignored or mocked when they're rarely brought up. Like again, why is the alpina seastrong heritage ignored while people will give up a kidney for the LLD? It's very odd and I think the secret reason is people care more about flexing brands than they pretend to care about things like "heritage" and "movements".

Agreed on the arrow tip, but what would you consider a dressy diver?

It looks like a fifty fathoms... One of the most high end divers that exist. Go buy your apple watch

@@user-tx4wj7qk4t It did not even stand close to Fifty Fathoms. "Go buy your apple watch" -- 🤦 🤦‍♂ 🤦‍♀

@@mountainhobo You're right. It looks better and doesn't get scratched. And sorry you prefer fitbit?

@@user-tx4wj7qk4t "And sorry you prefer fitbit?" -- Don't struggle with humor attempts. Accept it, some have it, some don't. Embrace your shortcomings.

I don’t think so. Lorier are taking inspiration from an era just as this one is. Different bezel, indicies, case, bracelet taper design. Lots of differences here.

​@theknightswatch the bracelet and clasp are almost the same as the first bracelet Lorier did

A ripoff of a brand that exclusively does homages? Lol. If anything it's a fifty fathoms ripoff that doesn't cost $34k and looks better
