Reviews

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

Addiesdive Retro Sub

The Addiesdive Retro Sub Quartz Watch AD2054 is widely praised for its exceptional value and surprising quality for its price point, with owners frequently highlighting its impressive dial finishing, depth, and color. The case finishing is considered comparable to Seiko, and the BGW9 lume is noted as bright and durable, remaining readable overnight. The watch features a Miyota 2115 quartz movement and 200m water resistance. Some sources mention a sapphire crystal, solid end links, and a milled clasp. However, criticisms include a scratch-prone mineral crystal (though one source states sapphire), a hollow-sounding bezel, a rattly oyster bracelet with push pins, and a stiff crown. The lume is generally praised, but one owner found it less strong than other watches and another noted the Steeldive version's lume lasted longer. Some owners also reported a misaligned bezel insert.

Casio GM-S2110BP-5A

Owners note the Casio GM-S2110BP-5A's strap gets dirty easily but cleans well, and the watch itself resists scratches during frequent wear. Some owners lament the lack of a positive display and find the lume could be brighter. A metal conversion kit is available, transforming the watch into a daily wearer. Overall, owners appreciate the Casio GM-S2110BP-5A for its scratch resistance and the potential for customization via modding kits.
