Reviews

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

Buyalov РР02.2 Акула

Owners widely praise the Buyalov РР02.2 Акула's original and rugged design, with some noting good case finishing and unique dials. The addition of a rotating inner bezel is seen as an improvement over previous models. However, the watch's size is a significant concern, with many finding the 56.3mm lug-to-lug distance on leather strap too massive for smaller wrists, though some with 16cm wrists find it wearable on rubber. The 24-hour subdial is considered by one owner to make the dial too busy, and the price is viewed by some as too high. On balance, owners appreciate the Buyalov РР02.2 Акула's distinctive design and build quality, but its substantial size presents a significant barrier for many potential buyers.

Ratio FreeDiver 1000M 1068HA96-34VA

Owners widely praise the Ratio FreeDiver 1000M 1068HA96-34VA for its robust build, excellent case finishing, and exceptional value. The watch is described as a purpose-built, overbuilt professional dive watch with a substantial 46mm case that is manageable on an 18.5cm wrist, featuring a sapphire crystal and a functional helium escape valve. Some owners report a bezel with great feel and minimal back play, while one owner noted an unacceptable 66-click bezel. On balance, owners rate the Ratio FreeDiver 1000M 1068HA96-34VA highly for its professional dive watch capabilities and outstanding value.
