ADDIESDIVEAutomatic Diver 200 M Mens Watch Luminescent Mechanical NH35A Analog Stainless Steel

I have been wearing my Addiesdive Captain Willard wristwatch daily for a little over two months. It is unbelievably accurate which is due to the tested and true Seiko automatic movement. The lume is bright and long lasting. The synthetic sapphire crystal is durable and clear. Additionally, the anti-reflective coating on the crystal is extremely effective. The ceramic bezel insert is hard-wearing while also providing a rich, upmarket appearance. The case itself is solid and features a perfect combination of brushed and polished surfaces.My model came with the rubber strap. It was okay but the watch is better served with the aftermarket tropic style strap which I switched the original out for.The lume on the ceramic bezel is bluish while the lume on the dial is greenish. I like this feature as it provides a clear contrast between the dial and the bezel when in darkness as well as offering a nice complexity to its night time character. However, some may dislike the differing lume colors for being inconsistent.The one and only drawback, at least for me, was the case back. Though it is handsome with its depiction of the diver's mask and crossed spearguns comprising the Addiesdive logo, it is also rough and ever so slightly sharp. The result is a very minute discomfort thar takes a little getting used to. It also has a tendency to remove the hair from your wrist. Overall, this downside is quite minor when considering the high quality of the watch otherwise. Still, it would be nice for the manufacturer to address this detail.In conclusion, this is a fantastic time piece that competes easily with watches far above its modest price tag.

Outside of a watch telling time and telling me at a minimum the date, I don't know much about watches. I have had several over the years and even a Rolex because I thought it was cool to have a very expensive watch. Now in hindsight, an absolute waste of money, the Rolex that is. This unit has an excellent, perfectly aligned bezel that is also snug when rotating. Some have described it as being hard to turn and I disagree. It is not loose at all. Zero wobble. Zero play left or right. It feels smooth when rotating. The crystal is flat but raised a bit. The bezel insert is ceramic and simply looks immaculate. The crown, though I wish were a bit larger, it is HEAVILY guarded by beefy crown guards. The crown is perfectly centered. The underside has been described as being a bit abrasive and I have to agree but I DO NOT feel it affecting my wrist whatsoever. The case is, like the rest of the watch, simply beautiful. Polished on the sides, and where the strap connects, but the top left and right are brushed. Beautiful. It is so far in 5 hours slower by 2 seconds. The lume is stunning. Super bright. Does it last a long time? No. But to me it does not matter because of ALL the other incredible things about the watch. The strap starts out thick at the lugs, but thins out at the ends. It is comfortable, but maybe in time I will get something more substantial, and a strap that does not taper. Once seated on the wrist, the watch barely moves but be aware that it has weight. I personally cannot imagine using this watch with a metal bracelet. For me it would be too heavy. All things considered, for 100 bucks, I am astonished at the quality of this watch. Absolutely amazed at how so much more incredibly expensive it looks, feels, and functions.

All the reviews and hype is true this Capt Williard homage by addiesdive is amazing. Bezel action has a great sound and feel, with no to minimal back play. The color on the dial and ceramic bezel is phenomenal; rich, vibrant blue with a tasteful amount of flashiness on dial.I Have not witnessed this watch's lume personally but if it's like how addiesdive usually does their lume, than I am sure it is above average. Additionally this watch comes with a milled fold over buckle, bracelet which is pretty good for the price.All in all a great watch for the price that even gives Seiko a run for their money.

I was interested in this watch and the seiko version but did not want to spend the extra money. I watched reviews on YouTube and it appeared to be a great watch. When I received the watch it came in the plastic case but was not wrapped and appeared to be used. I inspected the watch and noticed a small dent in the watch case with minor scratches around the dent. Not exactly how you would damage a case like this unless it was struck really hard. Regardless I’m wearing the watch until the replacement arrives. It is a great watch and keeps accurate time! The band is not the greatest but for the price point not a major concern. I do recommend the watch for those that are interested in a automatic watch for not a lot of money!

comfortable and practical for the price

Year and a half update. I decided it was time for a minor accuracy adjustment. Should have left well enough alone.As you have probably guessed, I "touched" the hair spring. It's a done deal, no going back.Result of all of all of this is that I liked the 'Captain' so much that there was no question but I would replace it. It's a really nice watch and doubly so for the price.Update: after four days, new 'Captian' is running six or seven seconds slow per day out of the box. Close enough. Maybe it will improve after a break-in period.Now, back to the original review....Very masquline, large and heavy, looks good. Very nice face and markings. Very accurate out of the box - off by about a minute over a week's time before adjusting. I like it!Update after about a year's use.Will compeat with ANY brand dive watch. Simply amazing watch but when you consider the price .... Crazy!!!Almost a year later.This may be the best value in dive watches anywhere !!! No complaints, just praise. Fully adjustable and capable of high accuracy. VERY DURABLE surfaces. Should last for many years. Bequeath it to your grandchildren.The Addisdive 'Captian Willard' watch.
