The Aigi Watches ARCTIC DIVER is considered a decent value for its Kickstarter price, featuring a Seiko NH35 movement and 200m water resistance. However, its 41mm case size and 49mm lug-to-lug are described as chunky by some owners, and there are questions about the long-term viability of a Kickstarter brand. Overall, owners view the Aigi Watches ARCTIC DIVER as a solid watch for its price point, with its value proposition being a key draw.
Owners report the Cooper Watches MWC 1970s/80s Pattern Automatic 24 Jewel Military Divers Watch with Sapphire has lume reminiscent of aircraft gauges and praise its bezel text against the matte black ceramic.

Another owner notes the watch is about 2mm thicker than a Rolex Submariner due to tritium vials.
