02The community take

Owners talk.

“

Owners report recurring issues with the Kobold Soarway Diver Safari, including instances where the watch stops when the second hand contacts the minute hand, a problem that persisted even after warranty replacements and servicing. One owner noted their Safari, featuring a sand-colored DLC coating, runs and keeps time perfectly with its ETA 2892-2 movement. On balance, owners have experienced significant reliability concerns with the Kobold Soarway Diver Safari, despite one report of perfect timekeeping.
