Owners widely praise the Thorn Titanium 39mm Automatic Dive Watch for its exceptional lightness and comfort due to its titanium construction, with many highlighting the impressive finishing and the "game-changer" tool-free bracelet adjustment system. The lume is also frequently called out as superior. However, some owners find the watch wears a little small, and one owner returned it due to a ghost-date issue and the watch stopping once every 24 hours, with another reporting the watch stopped when the seconds hand reached 60. The design is described by one owner as somewhat uninspired, aside from the custom dial, due to common mod parts. Overall, owners rate the Thorn Titanium 39mm Automatic Dive Watch highly for its wearability and bracelet system.
