Their BEST Watch I've Checked Out 

@@dalerichardson8842 Thank you for the explanation.

A helium escape valve on a watch like this is like fitting a snorkel and off road tyres to a Ford Kuga that's only ever used for the school run. Its a nice touch though!

@@zillsburyy1 Which one did you go for?

@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR white dial

@@zillsburyy1 Did you go for the date or no date version?

@@adk7962 They are making some really good pieces lately. Do, which version of this one are you thinking about getting then?

@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR As a Date Only Guy, this version for sure.

​@@HonestWatchReviewsHWRI really think their quality has been stepped up due to their partnership with San Martin on certain styles. I strongly suspect that SM are involved in all their watches now, not just the ones they publicise. I.e. the same factory (just a hunch).

@@Clarioner1 Yeah I suspect you're right there.

@@adk7962 you didn't realize the fake clone watch niche existed?? 😂

@@holgermuller3597 Cheers mate. Not that I'm aware of.

@@WatchWitt Yes they sure have. I've pinned a comment from someone explaining the use of the helium escape valve in a bit more detail.

@@czesiu84 Thanks for the constructive feedback. I always appreciate that. When you say I'm too close to the mic, do you mean it's too loud? I know that I can speak a little fast at times, so I'll try to work on that. I'm glad you enjoyed the outdoor shots of the watch.

@@josuedavidcastro6502 Thanks. Oh ok, interesting.

@@dunderhay9169 Thanks. Yeah the white dial is my favourite too. As I said in the review, they tested the watch for 100m, but it's actually claimed to be 200m on their website.

@@mmadchef808 I actually have both of them. They have the same mesh strap, but the clasp is slightly different on the Heimdallr. The main differences though are the dials and the fact the Watchdives has that anti-scratch coating. As my Heimdallr is pretty scratched up now, and I'm careful with my watches too.

@@zillsburyy1 Are you happy with it then? Which colour do you have?

@@anthonydevono8833 I can kind of understand you not liking the mesh strap. But when it comes to the rest of the watch, I think the quality is really good. Especially considering it's grade 2 coated titanium as well. I'm glad you liked that review anyway. Thanks for watching.

@@watchAddict770 What's that?

@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR a utube tech channel just the voice is exactly the same 🤣👍🏻

@@watchAddict770 Oh ok. Is that a good or bad thing then? 😆

@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR it just made me chuckle..good watch content bud👌🏻

@@Subjective_JoshNelson The Pagani Design one that I had and reviewed a few years back wasn't very good at all. I did a comparison review with a couple of others from Bliger and Phylida. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tvNS3nEhlM0.html I actually have the Heimdallr as well, which I also like, but I'd say that this is even better than that one. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-S5H98IuSmzk.html When it comes to the lume especially Pagani Design always falls short. But on that particular one, the build finishing and build quality was really bad too. It's odd that you have sharp edges on your Watchdives. I don't have that on mine. The titanium is holding up really well too, with that coating to prevent scratches.

@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR Interesting...yeah the edges on the Titanium are very sharp, both the case and the scallops on the bezel - maybe I'll return it for a replacement? But you are not showing the NTTD 007 brown/orange piece, but the white dial model. Your dial's waves are much nicer than my black dial, too. This may be the difference? Interesting you didn't like the Pagani, now I'm talking only NTTD 007 Pagani vs. Watchdives NTTD 007 both with black dial and orange/yellow indices). The Pagani, bought last week, is clearly the better build, all the way around. But it's round, bulky and doesn't look/wear as nice as the Watchdives. However, it was $100 less, lol.

@@rumatadestora It's apparently 200m, just they only tested it to 100m, as I said in the review.

@@ilikewatches Any particular reason?

@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR it looks like the same model I reviewed and the bezel action was terrible and the clasp didn’t work, almost impossible to undo it, lume was very poor. I perhaps got a bad one but I can only review what’s in front of me…I was complementing some elements and the brand did agree it’s not their best quality model…they make better watches apparently…

@@ilikewatches Well I can only review what's in front of me too... And mine doesn't have those issues you mentioned.

@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR I made a comment on his video that this model in particular I have seen such a variation in quality (Mostly with the bezel) that it's a bit alarming...mine is also pretty good, so my review was mostly positive, like yours.

@@EscapeWheel Ah ok. Interesting 🤔

@@jontpt It's not a fake... It varies depending on who you ask, but for me personally I class something as an homage, when it's not trying to pass itself off as the original. It has different branding, as well as subtle differences in design and movements etc. They are aimed at completely different markets. People who buy homages aren't likely to buy the real thing. As they can't/won't pay that kind of money for a watch. So they just want something with a similar look, but at a more reasonable price point. Another factor that comes into play with homages of certain brands (I'm looking at you Seiko) is that some of the homages can have better specs and build quality than the originals. For this exact reason, I have quite a few Seiko homages in my collection, but no actual Seiko's. Homages are bought by people who love the originals and the brands who make them... Whereas fakes are bought by people who want to try and make out that they are something they aren't. They don't care about the originals or the brands that make them at all. It's a status symbol to them nothing more. When it comes to watches with more original designs, I prefer to go for microbrands. As I feel they offer better value for money, more unique designs and also you're supporting small businesses rather than large companies who have massive markups on their watches.

@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR I appreciate the detailed explication of the differences between fake and homage. I almost entirely disagree with you, but it's nice to have an honest discourse at least. I find these things to be blatant copies and ripoffs, and whether or not they're better than the original isn't really relevant. The fact is, they're cashing in on other companies' designs and efforts, and I think that's wrong, and probably illegal. The only reason the big brands don't go after these pretenders is that it's not worth their time and they don't really cut into their market, since the people who buy these things are way too broke to ever afford a real Omega or Rolex... Or, they just want a costume watch on their wrists for fear of theft, etc. regardless, they should be banned and removed from the market, IMHO.

@@jontpt its definitely not illegal; if they were selling them under the Omega brand it would be. I'm guessing you already knew that, but just don't like it. Were this kind of thing illegal, the major fashion houses would be moving in on every high street fashion retailer the day after Paris fashion week.

@@Ballahooligan1 If the major watch brands wanted action against these impostors they could certainly make a case for illegality. Why they don't is their concern, I suppose.

@@jontpt you sound very well informed. Under which legal precedent are you referring?
