Cadisen C8209 I Didn't Expect THIS! Full Watch Review.

Let's face it, most watch fans would love a Tag Heuer but, how many can afford it? I picked up this Tag Aquaracer Homage (the Cadisen C8209), not really knowing what to expect.
Did the Cadisen C8209 win me over or am I still holding out?
Whether you want a Tag Heuer Aquaracer or not, sometimes little gems come along that are worth a look. The Cadisen C8209 is certainly in that category. Will it tide you over?

Haha sunny Scotland! Watching (on TV) a live Andy Murray tussle with Roberto Batista Agut. The atmosphere is electric; lots o Scots!

So glad you saw Zee's review. Steve had some minor finishing issues (and loose bezel) in his review, too. Your review is therefore very, very helpful.

Nice review. I definitely don’t need another office diver but think I’d be tempted for the price!

A shame you didn't get the arctic face version. Would have gone nicely with your backyard for the outdoor shots.

Mine came in the mail today….9 day delivery. It’s exactly as you described; a really good all around watch with a really crappy bezel. It’s best attribute is just how visible that dial is. It doesn’t matter what light conditions you’re in, that dial is clearly visible. It’s also very comfortable and attractive. This is a watch that covers a lot of bases and would make an outstanding watch for someone who was on a budget and just wanted one watch. I have the white dial and I can tell it’s going to be a strap monster. Thanks so much for your review,

Great review. Like you I initially was really keen to buy this but a few iffy reviews kinda put me off. I'm not fussed to use the bezel or the lume so those won't impact my view. your review has ignited my interest in it again especially at the price. keep up the great work thanks 😊

I bought the gray like yours, but at that price I'm tempted to pick up the white dial too

I always ask myself, do I need it? Does it fill a genuine gap in my collection ? Well done for getting the best colour :)

Just bought for 61 American. Beautiful watch that suits my style preferences very well, (love me a sophisticated office diver.) I would argue that 98 percent of all divers purchased never go for a serious swim, (below snorkel depth of about 30 feet) so who really cares how many meters it’s good for. Can it take an occasional dunking? That matters. Great review as always.

That is a decent watch for the price, I do like that bezel design, though the lume is a bit disappointing. I do like a good lume. Still, alright for daylight! Agree on the logo too, should be pushed up a bit. Keep warm there and greetings from a nice warm sunny 18°c in İzmir, Turkey today. 😜. Excellent review mate!!

Amazing review for this watch. I’m between this gray and the white one. But this gray make the harmony with the design and colors. Which one do you like more? They are so beautiful.

I like the bright blue one.I don't do anything with bezels. 200m water résistance. I have a few Cadisons . the conquest homage the 1032 dress watch and 38mm one. Reasonable value proposition

A loose bezel puts me off but the lume really does not bother me, and I agree why the blank warranty card it is pointless. Great video but that does not surprise me.

The watch looks good at the face of it and it's not expensive after all. The case back is remarkably nice. But there are some minor issues that add up in my opinion. The bezel (or is it the dial?) does look a little misaligned to my eye. The lume pip doesn't look like quality and the tinny bezel action puts me off the most.

Cadisen told me they aren't making these anymore. Is that false or does anyone know where to buy?

@johnswatchjoint Жыл бұрын

Yes , unfortunately for the time being they have halted production. The link in the description now goes to another product. The video has been left as a reference for those looking to buy used. They only ran the product for a matter of weeks. Strange one :(
