Reviews

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

Edox SkyDiver 70s Date Automatic

Owners widely praise the Edox SkyDiver 70s Date Automatic for its excellent fit and finish, comfortable wear on the bracelet, and strong lume. The watch is noted for its great accuracy and solid build, with reviewers highlighting the Calibre 80 automatic movement. One owner finds the 13.7mm case height unnecessarily thick, while another mentions the 38-hour power reserve. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Edox SkyDiver 70s Date Automatic highly for its robust build and comfortable wear at its price point.

Spinnaker Spence 300

Owners widely praise the Spinnaker Spence 300 for its slim 10.9mm case and 40mm diameter, offering a comfortable and versatile wear. Reviewers and owners alike highlight its value, with some seeing it as a budget alternative to more expensive dive watches. The watch features a Seiko NH35 automatic movement and 300m water resistance. However, some community members find the dial printing and bracelet finishing to be less refined, and a few suggest other brands offer better value at similar price points. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Spinnaker Spence 300 highly for its impressive case dimensions and overall value proposition.

From video reviewers

The watch's thin 10.9mm profile for a 300m diver is a key strength. No shared weakness was identified.
