Seiko Prospex Sea 1965 Heritage Diver's Watch PADI Special EditionvsThorn Titanium Sub Diver

Owners and reviewers praise the Seiko Prospex Sea 1965 Heritage Diver's Watch PADI Special Edition for its attractive emerald green dial with a sunburst effect and gold accents, which looks gorgeous in the right light. The watch is noted for its retro-inspired design, domed sapphire crystal, and comfortable wearability, fitting well for some. The bracelet includes a new, slimmer clasp with toolless micro-adjustment, and the watch comes with both a steel bracelet and a fabric strap. However, some find the watch wears top-heavy due to its density and case design, and the bracelet clasp is criticized for its stamped parts and limited micro-adjustment. The retail price of €1,700 is considered high by some, with sales being recommended. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Seiko Prospex Sea 1965 Heritage Diver's Watch PADI Special Edition positively for its attractive dial and comfortable retro design, despite some reservations about the clasp and price.

Owners are impressed with the quality and looks of the Thorn 40.5mm Titanium Sub Diver Automatic Watch, finding it well-made and sturdy with solid end links. Some owners note the 40.5mm size feels just right, while one owner wishes the watch were thinner than its 13.5mm to 14mm thickness. One owner reports the crown is difficult to screw down, though another owner states there are no issues with the crown or winding. The bracelet is described by one owner as "janky." Overall, owners rate the Thorn 40.5mm Titanium Sub Diver Automatic Watch highly for its build quality and appealing design.
