Today we are looking at 2 new watch releases from Proxima Watches...
The PX1697-2BN Diver anf the PX1700-2BN Sports watch.
Proxima are among the best when it comes to both quality watches and great customer service and I thoroughly recommend them.
These new watches change things up a bit with what they call ICE FLOWER DIALS.
We would probably call them Frosted Dials but you get the gist.
So are these watches worth you hard earned cash?
Lets find out :)

Wow! First commenter! Thanks for all your hard work, John!😀

Cheers my friend. Thanks for your support 🙏🤗

I’ve never been a fan of super colorful watches. Probably because I’m just a boring guy. 😅. So I love the watches, but not so much the color and textures. Thanks as always for the honest review!

@johnswatchjoint 29 дней назад

Cheers Albert. Appreciate your opinion my friend 🤗😺

@originalboondi 29 дней назад

Two very nice original designs. Thanks for the review....

@jorgecarrasco4206 28 дней назад

Not for me but certainly there’s quality and thought put into producing these watches

@johnswatchjoint 28 дней назад

Thanks for your thoughts 🤗

@gregtolley3455 29 дней назад

I would love to see the 1697 w no date and aventurine dial. I have a green fume 1697 and the 1715 and both are fantastic watches. I've even given up complaining about unbranded crown and clasp.

@MarkCasey65 28 дней назад

A good review as always, John. The sizes are perfect for the smaller wristed amongst us. However the dials are not for me. I'm sure many others will like them.

@barfbeard7777 28 дней назад

Good review as always thanks 👍..I would recommend 1697 all day long ..I have one in white enamel.. its a great case sits on the wrist perfect..has a low profile very comfortable mine hasn't left my wrist..

@LTBallurio 28 дней назад

Wow I like those!

@nedflanders3769 28 дней назад

I like the 39mm one towards the end with the angled bezel, but the dial is a bit too busy. I’d like it with a solid color, maybe black lacquer dial.

@nedflanders3769 28 дней назад

And you’re right, they gotta change the date font.

@johnswatchjoint 28 дней назад

Absolutely 💯

@chrislyall6251 29 дней назад

Two beautiful looking watches.

@johnswatchjoint 29 дней назад

They are pretty good 😊

@stephenschroeder6567 29 дней назад

I've never been a fan of dive watches, but that 1700 looks interesting. I don't know that much about this brand but you have convinced me to take a look at them. Thank you for your excellent productions. Quick update: I did check them out and I ordered that 1700 in the dark blue. Thank you again for alerting us to these watches!

@dunderhay9169 28 дней назад

Great review, I like those dials, but you have a point, they do over power the rest of the watches a bit!

@johnswatchjoint 28 дней назад

Yep... Weird decision 🤔🤗😺

@buijs1967 29 дней назад

Last week i got the green/blue one with the black bezel. It looks great it is much darker than the picture at 10:46. With the adjustable clasp this is now even more complete watch.

@johnswatchjoint 29 дней назад

Glad you like it. Thanks for watching 🤗

@gorillasinthewrist 28 дней назад

It’s a beautiful dial, sorely tempted. Great work as ever

@richardpool9970 28 дней назад

Good review John as I was considering both in the recent sale however I think you summed it up pretty well as I think there are other Proxima watches which are better.

@johnswatchjoint 28 дней назад

I think so. They are good but Proxima have produced some of the best Chinese watches...and these are good but not great!

@Skurtle 28 дней назад

I was close to pulling the trigger on the sport watch, but the hands look too slender. And that diver, I’m so torn… really like that dial, looks nice to me! But then, it’s only 39 mm… even tho I’m wearing my S435.

@johnswatchjoint 28 дней назад

Decisions, decisions.... haha 😂

@felo6035 29 дней назад

Fantastic review, John. I like the dials, however it may be a little much on a diver. It's much better on the gada type watch. BTW, I like the fluted bezel option for some reason 😊 Thank you again for sharing. Be well, my friend.

@johnswatchjoint 28 дней назад

Thanks buddy. I think these watches will be an acquired taste 🤔

@felo6035 28 дней назад

@stuartthornton3027 29 дней назад

I do love those meteorite style dials, just not sure about the colours. Its good that there are as many options though. Great review as usual, many thanks John.

@johnswatchjoint 29 дней назад

Cheers Stuart ☺️

@ahirshfield 28 дней назад

I love the textured dials on these; quite a change from the now ubiquitous waves/dunes, and meteorite textures. However they should have taken another stab at the print/press before settling on the one to be used on every dial, as there is an annoying gap just above the 8 index that would drive me nuts. And they will all have the exact same pattern. Also, re the date font - that is one reason I always go for the SW200 movement in these. The default date-wheel font for the Sellita is much nicer than whatever they’re using in the PT5K.

@johnswatchjoint 28 дней назад

Aye ..that is annoying!

@richardrees4463 29 дней назад

I bought the 37mm px1700 in that green but with the fluted bezel in the sale. It's very dressy. I think I'll take it off the bracelet and put it on black leather. My 37mm has quick release on the bracelet as well.

@zakalwe2231 29 дней назад

The dial and case look great, the only thing that bothers me (and it might be just my OCD) is the lume mismatch on the dial and hands. I ended up selling my white one because of that.

@guidine7 29 дней назад

Well done review sir 💁🇩🇪

@johnswatchjoint 29 дней назад

@josephtucker7397 14 дней назад

I'm not sure if they're my thing. Seeing something in person might make me think otherwise.

@johndesmond1987 29 дней назад

The original 1679 in black or white are some of the best watches on Ali Express. These new highly coloured ones are a bit ridiculous.

@johnswatchjoint 29 дней назад

I wouldn't go as far as that bit certainly the black and white enamel dials were something VERY special 🤗

@wheelrich 29 дней назад

I've a white enamel PX1697, it is rather nice. I can't blame Proxima for making the most of this spectacular case. I've just succumbed to the PX1701, which by all accounts is rather barmy, not sure if it's a dress watch, diver or something else! Will be my mad watch for this summer though.

@daveindevon5240 28 дней назад

I don't have a problem with complex dials on dive style watches. What spoils this one for me is the orange segment on the bezel. A white segment would look better. I do wish Proxima would be a bit more adventurous with their bezels on this style case. How about a steel dial for instance, or a 50/50 blue and white split? Proxima is a great brand and I love my white dial 1697. Great review as usual John.
