Peacock Watches Just DivevsSquale 1521

The Peacock Just Dive is praised for its beautiful dial, described as delicate and transparent with a five-layer translucent enamel achieved through an 8-hour artisan process. Some owners find the vibrant blue dial eye-catching, though it can appear too flashy in bright light. One owner noted a potentially misaligned date window. Overall, owners rate the Peacock Just Dive highly for its artisan dial finishing at the price.

Owners widely praise the Squale 1521 for its classic look and robust build, with specific mentions of its wearable 12.5mm thickness and refined case finishing. The 42mm case is noted by some to wear smaller, closer to 40mm, due to short lugs, feeling solid without being too large. However, opinions on the bracelet vary, with some finding it too flashy or stiff, and one owner reported moisture ingress after a shower due to a loose case back. The crown can be difficult to operate due to deep integration, and the 38-hour power reserve is considered old-school but reliable. Overall, owners rate the Squale 1521 highly for its classic design and wearability, despite some reservations about the bracelet and crown.
