Reviews

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

Aquastar Benthos Heritage II

The Aquastar Benthos Heritage II is widely praised for its significantly improved wearability due to its 40mm case and reduced thickness, noted as 12mm by one source and 11.9mm by others, making it comfortable on smaller wrists. Reviewers and owners appreciate the scaling down of a classic design while retaining key elements, with the sapphire crystal and the manually operated helium release valve (HRV/HEV) being highlighted, the latter sometimes described as a "fidget aid." The watch is considered a fantastic value at its pre-order price of $1,190 on a rubber strap. Some owners miss the dial depth of earlier models, and the dual-crown design with the HRV is seen by some as a stylistic compromise. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Aquastar Benthos Heritage II highly for its comfortable wearability and excellent value at the price point.

From video reviewers

Invicta Pro Diver 47720

Owners widely praise the Invicta Pro Diver 47720 for its exceptional build quality and value, with many highlighting its comfortable 40mm wearability and ease of adjustment, considering it a great starter automatic watch. Some owners note a thicker case compared to older models and a robust movement, though one owner reported a purple dial instead of blue as a quality control issue. A few reviewers mention poor lume, sharp edges on the case, and a desire for sapphire crystals over the mineral glass. Overall, owners rate the Invicta Pro Diver 47720 highly for its impressive value and solid construction at an affordable price.
