Reviews

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

Audaz Ocean Raider

Owners report the Audaz Ocean Raider offers amazing lume, serving as a less expensive alternative to higher-end dive watches. One owner notes the watch feels a bit big on smaller wrists. Another owner describes the watch as being in 87% condition due to slight marks on the case sides and back, with a worn aftermarket strap. On balance, owners appreciate the Audaz Ocean Raider for its strong lume and value proposition, though size may be a consideration for those with smaller wrists.

Ratio FreeDiver 1000M 1068HA90

Owners widely praise the Ratio FreeDiver 1000M 1068HA90 for its robust build, excellent finishing, and solid construction, with one owner noting its case finishing is excellent and the stainless band is comfortable. The watch features genuine 1000m water resistance, a sapphire crystal, and a helium escape valve, with its lume described as brighter than that on other dive watches. One owner reported an unacceptable 66 bezel clicks, though others found the bezel to have great feel and minimal back play. Overall, owners rate the Ratio FreeDiver 1000M 1068HA90 highly for its extreme water resistance and value at a competitive price.
