Reviews

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

Cronos PT5000 Sub Diver Watch L6005

Owners widely praise the Cronos PT5000 Sub Diver Watch L6005 for its excellent value, with many citing the PT5000 movement's reliable performance and buttery winding action as key strengths. The 40mm case is noted for comfortable wearability, and the watch is considered a strong homage. Accuracy figures for the PT5000 movement vary among owners, ranging from +2 seconds per day to +15 seconds per day, with one owner reporting 45 seconds per day. One owner noted a case protrusion issue at the 2 and 4 o'clock positions on a blue L6005 with a date function, and another experienced recurring crown issues but received excellent warranty service. Overall, owners rate the Cronos PT5000 Sub Diver Watch L6005 highly for its exceptional value and enjoyable user experience, particularly the winding feel.

Thorn Titanium 39mm Automatic Dive Watch

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.
