A discussion about my ADDIESDIVE Deep Sea Hunter AD2030 to decide whether it gets to stay in my collection or finds itself a new home on eBay.

I think you're too harsh on the watch. I have it and it instantly became my GADA. I completely disagree about the bracelet. First off, it's amazing to get a solid bracelet *and* milled clasp at this price. I expect to pay many times more for this privilege at mainstream brands or established microbrands. And I find it very comfortable. I am not even a bracelet fan but decided to not swap it for a strap since it's so comfortable and I think it goes well with the design. It's - throw it on the wrist and forget it's there - level of confort. Another selling point apart from the dial is the mechaquartz movement which mimics a mechanical one, and barely gets any mention in your review. I know it's by now fairly commom but it's still fairly new and I think worth mentioning. And again, getting a Japanese mechaquartz mvt at this price is pretty insane. Just a few months ago I thouhht I was getting a good deal by spending +100 gpb on a geckota with this same movement.

We'll have to agree to disagree on this one, based on a few other comments I've read I think the bracelet seems to be hit or miss in terms of quality. I can only say that mine was a big miss. As for the movement you're right it didn't get a look in here, but during the sale you could get the automatic version for just over £10 extra.

I never planned on owning this watch but for a daily beater I might give it a go.

Pretty good looking watch. Especially in your environment.

Bargain at £35 but, even at £10, I'd rather keep my cash. Defo a sell! Looking forward to the big video - keep it up!

Good review 👌🏻. I own the light blue variant, on a black leather strap - it does gets a very dressy and classy look. I’m thinking of buying the white dial version too, or the automatic and bigger one.

I have this watch, and like the head of it, but you're 100% right with the bracelet. Mine squeaked and the links got stuck together... threw it on a nato and now it is a nice little watch i can wear around.

What color strap did you put it on?

I'm surprised that you didn't mention the design inspiration taken from Grand Seiko

I have a AD2030 in this colour that I purchased when the watch first came out (I got it second hand from a YT reviewer who raved about it) and it is fantastically well made, bracelet included. I was so impressed by it for the £50 I paid I have also bought the white one (in the same sale you did). the bracelet is noticeably worse quality. It is thinner, nowhere near as well finished and that clasp has all the issues you mentioned. Visibly the two bracelets are extremely similar with the final link at the clasp being the only obvious difference and I can see from you video you have the crappy bracelet version. It seems like either: -Addiesdive ship the worse ones when the watch is bought at the sale price -They changed the bracelet at some point to save money and never said anything -They send nicer ones to reviews so it looks better on the video There definitely some conspiracy going on here 🧐

I have a strong feeling it's the third option ^^

@@ImpulsiveWatches which ever it is it's not good, just varying levels of anti consumer. I'm going to put the nice bracelet on the white one and get a nice tan leather for the Sandy dial I think. When life gives you lemons and all that

I have to agree. The metal bracelet is awful and even with a black latex strap added to my desert one it still looks wrong. Too flashy without the quality to back it up. Not right as a holiday/swimming watch either so a "beater" it has to be as it is not, in my view, worth the effort of selling.

Yeah I was really not a fan of this one, going to try out a steeldive from them though, and I think these models are good for the money if you're willing to change the bracelet and smooth some edges if you have to, really wasn't comfortable to wear.

"no matter how expensive it is" you're talking about 30 USD. common... and youre really comparing it to the F-91W? REALLY?
@ImpulsiveWatches3 ай бұрын
You'd have to put my one on to really understand I guess, I'd equate it to spending £30 on a t shirt to find out its really itchy. Bracelet on mine was dire.

I can tell you haven't had to do any graft in your lifetime. Maybe the bracelet is harsh on your baby soft skin, but for a real man, it's not a problem.
