Reviews

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

Squale Super-Squale

Owners widely praise the Squale Super-Squale for its comfortable 38mm case, vintage skin diver aesthetic, and outstanding build quality for the price, with many highlighting the beads-of-rice bracelet as a standout feature and finding it a great value "go anywhere, do anything" watch. Some owners note the stock strap is not ideal and consider alternative strap options, while one enthusiast finds the 38mm case with 18mm lug width wears small. Accuracy of the Sellita SW200-1 movement is reported as ±7–20 seconds per day, which is considered not impressive by today's standards, though adequate for reliability and serviceability. Overall, owners rate the Squale Super-Squale highly for its vintage charm, comfortable wearability, and excellent value.

Wolbrook Skindiver Automatic

Owners widely praise the Wolbrook Skindiver Automatic for its vintage aesthetic, comfortable wearability, and legible dial, with many noting the quality of the Beads of Rice bracelet and tropic strap. Some owners report exceptional accuracy from the Miyota 8315 movement, while others find it noisy. Criticisms include laughable lume from one source, a crown that lacks a positive lock, and drilled lugs that can be problematic with certain spring bars. The warranty policy not transferring to subsequent owners is a significant concern for some. Overall, owners and reviewers consider the Wolbrook Skindiver Automatic a quality piece for its price, offering a handsome vintage look with solid specifications.

From video reviewers

The vintage-inspired design and comfortable wearability of the 38mm case are consistently praised. However, reviewers note that the bracelet feels light and lacks a premium feel. Opinions are divided on the world timer bezel.
