Overall, owners rate the Cincinnati Watch Company Desk Diver Professional Dive Watch Black & Orange highly for its unique vintage look and playful character, despite some finding it overpriced.

Some owners, however, note sharp edges on the clasp and bracelet links, and a few find the push-pull crown a drawback or the 38mm case larger than expected on smaller wrists.
