What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Duxot Tortuga

Owners widely consider the Duxot Tortuga a cool-looking, unique watch with trustworthy water resistance. Some owners find the bezel visually appealing, though one notes it feels cheaper than that on a Bulova Surveyor. The Duxot Tortuga is considered by some to be slightly overpriced, with movements appearing to be off-the-shelf Japanese calibers. On balance, owners view the Duxot Tortuga positively for its unique design and reliable water resistance, despite some feeling it is overpriced.

Grand Seiko SLGA001

The Grand Seiko SLGA001 is praised for its impressive technical achievements, including a new, slimmer Spring Drive movement with a five-day power reserve and exceptional accuracy of ±0.5 seconds per day. Reviewers note the 47mm titanium case, despite its substantial dimensions, wears more comfortably due to its titanium construction, short lugs, and virtually scratch-proof finish. The watch features a 600-meter water resistance and is limited to 700 pieces, priced at $11,100. On balance, reviewers consider the Grand Seiko SLGA001 a highly capable dive watch, with its technological advancements in the Spring Drive movement being a key highlight.

From video reviewers

The watch's Spring Drive movement, specifically the Cal.9RA5, offers a 120-hour power reserve. A notable trade-off is the watch's relatively large size, with a case diameter of 46.9mm and thickness of 16.0mm, which may not suit those with smaller wrists. The high price point may be a trade-off for some buyers.
