Reviews

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

Bremont Waterman Apex

Owners praise the Bremont Waterman Apex for its impressive and colorful design, featuring a retro-inspired wave-patterned dial and shark fin motif. Reviewers highlight its robust build, DLC-coated case barrel, and ceramic bezel, with excellent low-light visibility from distinct blue and green Super-LumiNova glows. Some owners find Bremont watches appealing, on par with brands like Rolex, and commend the company's first-class service, though others question the pricing. The Bremont Waterman Apex is a 43mm watch with 500m water resistance and GMT functionality, powered by an automatic GMT movement. However, its 16.5mm thickness and 51mm lug-to-lug measurement make it a substantial watch not suited for smaller wrists. Overall, owners rate the Bremont Waterman Apex highly for its striking design and robust build quality, despite some concerns regarding its price point.

Crafter Blue Hyperion Ocean

The Crafter Blue Hyperion Ocean is a Swiss-made dive watch praised for its impressive specifications at its price point, including 600m water resistance and a Sellita SW200 automatic movement. Owners note the 45mm case, particularly on the steel bracelet, can feel substantial, though the vulcanized rubber strap is described as flexible and comfortable, suitable for professional diving. Some reviewers question the practicality of screwed pushers on a diving chronograph. Kickstarter pricing started at $599. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Crafter Blue Hyperion Ocean highly for its robust build and strong value proposition in the dive watch market.
