Anyone else tired of that Movado watch commercial? Got the Steeldive a couple of years ago and couldn’t be happier. Have the SKX007 and a couple of 5KXs and the Steeldive appears to be just as good.

Got a blue Steeldive on my wrist right now. After one year of using it still runs +/-3 sec per day and that's perfect.

Funny enough I agree with your comparison for this watch and the tuna. I own the steeldive 1970, and the addiesdive tuna. 1970 in black, but the tuna I went with the bright blue.

I dislike the blue AR coating on all of these watches, but Steeldive SD1970 seem to have addressed the niggle. I have ordered a Watchdives WD6105 though. Will have to check when it lands here in India.

Same here, I really do not like blue AR coating, I even polished it off once on a cheap watch, if I wanted a watch with blue crystal I'd look for one. I own 6 Steeldive, unfortunately the Steeldive SD1952, which is the most expensive one, has blue AR coating, but I love wearing it because it's a fantastic watch, it looks awesome and runs just perfect.

Addiesdive for me! Essentially thr same watches for even less money, and occasionally they do it better. Their puck homage has a lumed seconds hand whereas the Steeldive does not. I do like both brands though

I have both. I agree that the Steeldive band clasp is better than the Addiesdive. Otherwise to me they are the same I would recommend either. I also have an another Addiesdive model that I wear everyday. It loses a minute or so every couple of days. Not a deal breaker but a bit disappointing.
@ShortBetter
@ShortBetter 7 ай бұрын
A minute every couple of days, that's actually a lot.. Try regulating it. There are plenty of videos on how to do it. All you need is just a case opener and a small flat screwdriver

I had the Steeldive and it's a decent watch for the money but if anyone wants the looks, feel and fit of the Willard then the Rdunae R2X is what you should be going for. It is simply on another level conpared to these. The quality compares well to modern Seiko and the QC exceeds it imo

You forget comparing the hands. Actually they're different 'cause the Addie has flat hands and the Steeldive has folded hands and show three sides. I noticed the second hand is different too.

I have both,and have used Addiescustomer service when had a Puck with misaligned date/chapter ,was very good in my experience ,as for the comparison between the 2 I think it is vey close,same as you down to the depth of black(only really noticeable when side by side) and the clasp,However another bonus for some buyers will be you can SOMETIMES get Steeldive with NOLOGO at the top of the face

I have owned the Steeldive for about 3 years and it's a fantastic watch...and a STEAL for the money. However, I recently purchased a TANDORIO (panda color scheme with black ceramic bezel and white dial, white chapter ring) w/out LOGO for only US$62. The watch specs are the same as with the SD1970. The SD1970 has superior lume, but this is also due to the black color scheme chosen with the Tandorio (black applied markers on white dial). The Tandorio has a lumed PIP on the bezel, which is a plus. The SD has superior packaging, but it's also US$55 more expensive. Frankly, the TANDORIO with NOLOGO, plus a modding w/chrome SEIKO applied LOGO (+$6)...is a no brainer purchase.

Did they increase the hands size from a couple of years ago> I find the hands should be thicker and longer, to match the hour markers better. I always find the hands a bit anemic.
