Owners talk.

“

The Kobold Soarway Diver Seal is noted for its attractive design, particularly with upgraded dials, and its lightweight titanium construction, offering good wrist balance and superior overall construction compared to some alternatives. One owner found the ivory dial a bit pale but noted a brown leather strap transformed its appearance. However, owners widely report significant issues with the company's business practices, leading to extremely long service and repair times. One owner experienced a lost strap and damaged bezel after service, while another reported persistent stopping issues, with the second hand appearing to contact the minute hand, even after warranty replacement. Overall, owners rate the Kobold Soarway Diver Seal highly for its attractive design and lightweight titanium build, despite significant concerns regarding the company's service and repair turnaround times.
