Aquastar BENTHOS Heritage One Blue EditionvsSquale 2002

Owners widely praise the Aquastar Benthos Heritage One Blue Edition for its excellent lume on the bezel and dial, and its wearable 42mm cushion case with a sunburst finish. Reviewers note its fun, well-specced dive watch nature and great value, powered by a Sellita SW200-1 movement. Some owners describe it as a lovely, very chunky diver's watch. One owner rates the watch 90-95% due to minor hairline marks on the polished case back. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Aquastar Benthos Heritage One Blue Edition highly for its strong lume and value proposition.

Owners widely praise the Squale 2002 for its cool vintage aesthetic, legible dial, and the warm feel of its bakelite bezel. The mesh bracelet is noted as high quality, and one owner found the build quality outstanding for the price. However, one reviewer suggested improvements like a thinner case and better wrist balance, while another owner found larger watches like the 2002 ultimately too big for their wrist. One community member questioned the authenticity of a specific watch, suggesting it might be a "Frankinsquale" with a modified case. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the Squale 2002 for its authentic dive watch character and unique vintage design at a competitive price.
