Reviews

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Oris Aquis Date Upcycle

Owners widely appreciate the Oris Aquis Date Upcycle's unique, colorful dials made from recycled PET plastic, with reviewers highlighting the compelling artistic look and conservation message. Some owners find the dial's appearance inconsistent or prefer a no-date version, and reviewers note the dial's complexity can impact legibility for a dive watch. The 41.5mm steel case features a ceramic bezel and 300m water resistance, housing the Oris 733 automatic movement. Overall, owners and reviewers value the Oris Aquis Date Upcycle for its distinctive, eco-conscious dial and robust build at its price point.

From video reviewers

High-quality build is a notable feature of the Oris Aquis Date Upcycle. A potential drawback is that the multicolored recycled plastic dial may not appeal to everyone. Reviewers disagree on the importance of size, with one reviewer praising the watch's smaller size and another preferring a larger watch.

Seiko Prospex Sea 1965 Heritage Diver's Watch

Owners widely praise the Seiko Prospex Sea 1965 Heritage Diver's Watch for its refined engineering, comfortable 40mm case, and improved 300m water resistance. The watch is noted for its better build quality and finishing compared to some alternatives, featuring a mix of polished and brushed surfaces, with specific callouts for the jewel-toned teal dial with a rippling-water pattern. Some owners consider the price fair, while others suggest it is too high. Accuracy figures vary, with some owners reporting their 6R55 movement performs well within +/- 10 seconds per day, while others note theirs runs slow or have concerns about QC for the price. The bracelet, while improved, lacks modern features like quick-release or extensive micro-adjustments. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Seiko Prospex Sea 1965 Heritage Diver's Watch highly for its refined design and build quality at its price point.
