Kobold Soarway Diver 43vsMKII Project 300

The Kobold Soarway Diver 43 is praised for its quality and finish, slim fit, legible dial, and sharp appearance, with a solid steel bracelet. Owners report the 43mm case hugs the wrist well with no noticeable lug overhang on a 6.5-inch wrist, possessing a strong, non-flashy wrist presence. One owner noted the watch features a mix of Roman and Arabic numerals on its dial. However, one owner reported their Kobold Soarway Diver repeatedly stopping with the second hand contacting the minute hand, a problem that persisted even after the watch was replaced under warranty. On balance, owners praise the Kobold Soarway Diver 43 for its comfortable wearability and attractive design, despite isolated reports of functional issues.

Owners widely praise the MKII Project 300 for its balanced design, with one owner noting its lume "glows like a torch." Reviewers highlight its high legibility and bold, balanced aesthetic, inspired by classic dive watches. One owner found the 41.25mm case fit their wrist perfectly. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the MKII Project 300 highly for its exceptional lume and well-proportioned dive watch design.
