Reviews

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

Aigi Watches Arctic Diver Black Dive Watch

Owners report the Aigi Arctic Diver Black Dive Watch offers decent specifications for its $199 price point. However, one owner noted weak lume and poor alignment of hands, indices, and bezel on their unit, though the brand facilitated a quick replacement. Another owner expressed uncertainty about the watch's quality due to a scarcity of online reviews. Some find the 41mm case, 49mm lug-to-lug, and 22mm lugs to be chunky. Overall, owners find the Aigi Arctic Diver Black Dive Watch to be a value proposition despite some quality control concerns and sizing considerations.

DOXA SUB 200 II

Owners widely report the DOXA SUB 200 II wears smaller than its 44mm case size suggests due to its shape and lug length, and praise its new fumé dials. Reviewers note the collection's retro style, 200m water resistance, and the inclusion of beige Super-LumiNova. Some owners and reviewers criticize the watch for increasing in size and price, going against current downsizing trends, and the Sellita SW200-1 movement's 38-hour power reserve is flagged as less competitive than others. The Milanese bracelet is also mentioned as a potentially divisive feature, and the lack of on-the-fly clasp adjustment is noted. Overall, owners and reviewers find the DOXA SUB 200 II appealing for its retro design and unique fumé dials, despite concerns about its size and price increase.
