Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
Archimede Watches DLC owners widely praise its excellent legibility, matte black dial, stark white indices, and broad sword hands. Reviewers note its superb value, hardened steel case, and 200m water resistance. One owner reports accuracy between +2 to +5 sec/day and bright lume. Some find the bracelet generic and lacking micro-adjustments, with one owner criticizing its inconsistent push clasp. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Archimede Watches DLC highly for its legibility and value at the price point.
One owner reported a water ingress issue on their Yema Diver the first time it got wet in a lake, despite rinsing and inspecting the watch and bezel. Another owner noted that this manual wind Yema Diver, while featuring a cool patina, is unlikely to be waterproof or gain value, positioning it as a fun second watch rather than an investment. Overall, owners view the Yema Diver as a fun second watch rather than an investment, with one owner experiencing a water ingress issue.
The Swiss Sellita movement is a notable feature. Reviewers did not reach a consensus on any weaknesses.
