Reviews

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

IXDAO 5305 Retro Professional Dive Watch

Owners widely report the IXDAO 5305 Retro Professional Dive Watch offers excellent lume and wears exceptionally well, with one owner noting accuracy at -1 second per day. Some users flag potential inconsistencies in finishing compared to established brands, and one owner mentions sharp edges on the bottom mid-case and lugs. The stock bracelet is considered very heavy, though an aftermarket bracelet can improve wearability. The IXDAO 5305 Retro Professional Dive Watch is seen as decent for its price, with some noting good specifications. Overall, owners rate the IXDAO 5305 Retro Professional Dive Watch highly for its wearability and lume at the price.

IXDAO Titanium 39mm Automatic Dive Watch

Owners widely praise the IXDAO Titanium 39mm Automatic Dive Watch for its surprisingly light titanium case and a fully lumed bezel insert, with one owner noting the blue lume is "CRAZY bright." However, multiple owners and reviewers flag build quality issues including sharp edges, rough bezel and crown action, and audible rotor spin. The 21mm lug width is a point of contention, with some finding it universally disliked while others appreciate the concept, and the dial text, particularly the "Timeless" slogan, is also a divisive element. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the IXDAO Titanium 39mm Automatic Dive Watch positively due to its lightweight titanium build and bright lume, despite noted build quality concerns.
