I’ve had the same watch for over 12 months now, purchased from an Aussie retailer and have had no issues …touch wood, and it has better QC than some of my genuine Seikos’. I wear it on a ribbed nato and love the look and feel. On the other hand, I recently purchased a big name brand from an Aussie AD which I hadn’t even removed the tags and stickers from before putting it back in the box and contacting customer service to arrange a return under warranty. It definitely takes the shine off a new purchase. Enjoy your content 👍🏼

Thanks for that mate, I do appreciate it...let me know if you have any ideas on videos you would like to see in the future! Stay well my friend! Cheers, Al

Well Steeldive use a Seiko movement in this so should be similar quality unless badly mounted. To be fair the repair man he paid should have been moore transparent about what the issue with the watch was. Could have been something really tiny but was well compensated for.

I live in Spain. I use mine every day, including snorkeling. No problem till now. Thanks for the review.

I live in Ireland. I have same one now for over two years bought from Steeldive UK before the Brexit tax and am very satisfied with it. It did run up to two minutes slow every 24 hours but I opened it and gave the time adjustment a small nudge, on the protruding brass stud, anti clockwise and voila spot on now.

@redbarchetta8782 Год назад

A degausser is a must have for anyone with mechanical watches. I do my own now.

@stephenward3468 Год назад

I bought the same Steeldive two weeks ago.Prompt delivery and so far the watch is very accurate Amazon in the UK charged me £124.The Seiko Willard is currently £1.250 and the price is going up,they are popular no doubt.1250 is cheaper than the 1000m Seiko Marine Master,some are costing up to £6.000.

@DroppingIn Год назад

I have the Addiediver version of the watch which I believe is the same watch and love it. It runs great and I have had zero issues with it.

@TheWatchChannelAU Год назад

yes, I was wondering if they were the same watch but with a different logo. Is the lume just as good as the SteelDive version?

@DroppingIn Год назад

@@TheWatchChannelAU yes very good lume... 3 different shades: bezel, hands and numbers but I like it for those little nuances.

@TheWatchChannelAU Год назад

@@DroppingIn oh really, thats interesting...mind you the omega planet oceans have differing lume as well! Good to know! Thanks and stay well mate

That's awesome mate....that nh35a is a tough movement!!

@PRO4XKEV Год назад

The SD1970 is a nice looking watch. I guess the saying is 'You get what you pay for.' This watch is made in China and the price is around 70.00-110.00.

@johnnie5442 Год назад

I got 2 of them by accident. One would loose 10-30 minutes a day and sometimes hours. The other was and is fine. But I traveled overseas to a 3rd World country and a watchmaker charged me $15 to clean and reassemble the movement, after which tge watch greatly improved... but is still quarky. The other one is fine though.

@johnmorrison8386 5 месяцев назад

Most of them have new a Streeldive have Seiko NH35 movements. Yes any cell phone near a automatic watch can magnetize it. If you collect watches you should have a demagnitizer about $20.00

@martinryder6910 Месяц назад

They are selling them on Aliexpress for £37 (price fluctuates daily)

@gunjja13 Год назад

I had a similar problem with my Willard homage from San Martin. They sent me a new movement. I wanted it like that because I didn't want to send it back to China. I live in Europe by the way.

@TheWatchChannelAU Год назад

That's pretty cool...how did you get the movement replaced...yourself or a watchmaker?

@gunjja13 Год назад

@@TheWatchChannelAU I did it my self. I wanted this watch for modding anyways. I see those Ali watches in generally as modding watches most of the time.

@johnrb9397 Год назад

Oh dear oh dear. Great reminder to check if a watch is magnetised. Mate a new movement is $40. Get a rubber ball and a pair of tweezers and give it a go! We have reputable watch maker here assemble a Ali parts watch for 100..apparently checked for 10bar and regulated too! (Running at +2 a day).

A watch demagnetizer is an inexpensive tool I recommend any watch collector should own.

@Przemeknoname 16 дней назад

my 1970 makes +1s pro day on table. on wrist making walk with dog(moving my hands, vibrations ..) it gains +6s pro hour. is that normal ?

@BushCampingTools Год назад

The Nd magnets would def be strong enough to "stuff up a watch like this" Many modern mobiles are killers of many things, not just electronics/cards etc. So what did the guy at the junction do to fix it up?

@TheWatchChannelAU Год назад

No idea mate .. probably just demagnetised it!!

What's the point of buying a chinese copy ? For the same or very similar amount of money one can get dozens of offers from legit Japanese companys.

Can you show me one then? Not trying to be combative but the Chinese version is $100 AUD inc delivery.

@@TheWatchChannelAU we did and got the same reply as most ship it back and pay shipping and customs fee….by that time it’s a wash and waste of time…..they tried to bribe us with 20 bucks at that point we decided to keep it and make a video on it….several defects and we bought it straight from the manufacturer website
