Reviews

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

Baltic Aquascaphe Classic

Owners widely praise the Baltic Aquascaphe Classic for its vintage-inspired aesthetic and comfortable 39mm case, with many finding its finishing and looks competitive with more expensive watches. Some owners note a hollow feeling and slight bezel play, while others point to rough case edges and sharp lugs. The faux vintage lume is considered weak, and the dial can be difficult to read in low light due to limited anti-reflective coating. The watch is praised for its $760 price point and comfortable beads of rice bracelet. On balance, owners rate the Baltic Aquascaphe Classic highly for its vintage design and wearability at its price point.

From video reviewers

The Baltic Aquascaphe Classic is praised for its exceptional value and unique aesthetic. The watch's bezel action is somewhat stiff and could be improved. Reviewers disagree on the watch's water resistance, with one reviewer finding it unimpressive compared to other dive watches in its price range, while others do not mention any specific issues.

Squale Super-Squale

Owners widely praise the Squale Super-Squale for its comfortable 38mm case, vintage skin diver aesthetic, and outstanding build quality for the price, with many highlighting the beads-of-rice bracelet as a standout feature and finding it a great value "go anywhere, do anything" watch. Some owners note the stock strap is not ideal and consider alternative strap options, while one enthusiast finds the 38mm case with 18mm lug width wears small. Accuracy of the Sellita SW200-1 movement is reported as ±7–20 seconds per day, which is considered not impressive by today's standards, though adequate for reliability and serviceability. Overall, owners rate the Squale Super-Squale highly for its vintage charm, comfortable wearability, and excellent value.
