Reviews

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

IXDAO Titanium 39mm Automatic Dive Watch

Owners widely praise the IXDAO Titanium 39mm Automatic Dive Watch for its stunning purple dial, elegant proportions, and excellent finishing, with one owner calling it the best mechanical watch they have ever had. The watch is noted to have a hardness coating for scratch protection and is priced at $369. However, some owners criticize sharp edges that require sanding for comfort and report rough bezel action. Lume is considered terrible and legibility is difficult for some users, while others find the dial lacking. Overall, owners rate the IXDAO Titanium 39mm Automatic Dive Watch highly for its beautiful design and lightweight titanium build, despite some criticisms regarding finishing details.

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.
