Reviews

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

IXDAO 5305 Retro Professional Diver

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.

Yema Skin Diver CMM.20

The Yema Skin Diver CMM.20 is lauded for its vintage aesthetic, 39.5mm case size, and well-proportioned handset with sharp indices. Owners praise its textured cream dial, French tool watch elegance, and the smooth winding feel of the in-house CMM.20 micro-rotor movement. The fully brushed bracelet with toolless micro-adjust clasp is considered Yema's best yet. Accuracy readings range from -3/+7 seconds per day to approximately 0 to -10 seconds per day. Some reviewers noted questionable finishing on a prototype's hour hand and a rattly, stamped clasp. The watch's pricing has been questioned by some due to brand QC reputation, and its extended lug-to-lug may challenge smaller wrists. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the Yema Skin Diver CMM.20 for its vintage styling and improved bracelet design at its price point.

From video reviewers

The sapphire bezel insert and in-house CMM.20 movement are noted strengths. Reviewers questioned the value proposition compared to other Yema models.
