RATIOFreeDiver Helium-Safe Dive Watch Sapphire Crystal Automatic Diver Watch 1000M Water Resistant Diving Watch for Men

I’ve had and still have several dive watches over my 58 years on this planet. I still on rare occasion use two of them when suited in full scuba gear. I wasn’t expecting much for the under $200 paid. To my complete surprise this is a very impressive, well designed and constructed time piece. I’m a beefy 6’3” guy and the size is just right, time accuracy appears very accurate, the lumination is excellent, beautiful scratch resistant sapphire crystal, very stylish classic dive watch that’s built like a small armored tank for your wrist. I’m so impressed with the quality I’m thinking of ordering another color thanks to the price point.

The watch seems to be very well made with some quality features I look for like the sapphire crystal,great luminescense, great water resistance, auto winding and a Sekio movement that has a great track record for working very well. I love the style and it is pretty comfortable too.The only negative, which doesn't bother me much, is that it runs a little fast. But it's less than a minute per day and if it bothered me I'd have it adjusted to slow it down a tiny bit.It's my favorite watch out of the three autowinding diving watches I have due to its style and water resistance. I think it was well worth the money I paid for it.

Watch face is too small, should be at least 33 mm, which is that of my Samarai diver...at 34 or 35mm it would be knock out beautiful. As is it's nice, lots of compliments, great illum, beefy watchband, highly recommended.

I found it impossible to not fall in love with this watch.This watch delivers beauty, functionality, precision, robustness and lumes galore.Granted, I could have waited months or years to leave a proper review, but given that the watch may not even be available years from now, I can only update this review at a later date if something changes.This watch either gains 0 seconds, or 0.5 seconds in the few days I have worn it constantly, including showers, dish-washing, sleeping, but alas, not diving yet. The precision blows my mind. I do have a 20 years old Eco-drive that basically keeps atomic time (no radio) and to get this kind of precision on an automatic is either luck or the stuff of legends.As others have stated before me, this watch is a tank. It even looks like a melted tank. Everything is so precise and gorgeous, including the bezel action. Simply delicious sound as you rotate it and it comes to a fully centered state.The lume, as imaged, I took from inside a closed closet and adjusted the camera to image as close to what my eye sees. The lume lasts through the whole night, all the way to the morning hours and is easily readable even then. I don't do anything special to charge it. The image was taken after 5 seconds exposing to direct sunlight, but even in office light, and then going to bed, it just shines, almost like it is an LED. Simply remarkable.There is no question that the watch can easily be upgraded to be even more gorgeous but clearly that would increase the cost without increasing functionality, and this watch is incredibly functional.Now, the silicon straps that it came it, I replaced with the nylon straps, but those too are far too short. If you have large wrists, like I do, I barely get to the very first hole without cutting the blood circulation and that is annoying and has nothing to do with the watch itself. It is also nearly impossible to get XL canvas or nylon straps (non Nato) from Amazon. Many brands say they have XL versions, but no option to select during ordering.So I wonder if this watch could survive for however long on the surface of Venus, with surface atmospheric pressure of about 92 bars and 600 degree Fahrenheit temps. Both the melting point of sapphire and steel are much higher, so who knows :)

Cool watch with sharp edges underneath, and where the strap is located. (Some metal watches are just that way.) It's a HEAVY watch out of water! It has day & date, internal shock system, good lume, fit and finish, durability, 1000m water resist, sapphire glass, value, color, & good time retention. I love it.

Purchased this for my son as a graduation gift. It is beautiful, wonderful weight to it, quality band and seems to be a very high quality, well made watch. Its the most expensive watch i have ever purchased.Problem:He swears that there is no way to keep the correct time on the watch. So he never wears it, and he loves to wear watches. I guess it's an expensive paperweight.

This watch is very nice, dial size is good,not over sized. Silicone strap is comfortable , but barely fits my 8 in. wrist. This would not allow for wearing over a wet suit. Accurate time keeping.

Guys - I had my doubts but, this is an outstanding dive watch for the money! The lume is great at night, rugged, and I tested it with my phone time is right on. The movement is smooth. This watch should be way way more than the $160 paid. It’s awesome! You won’t be disappointed - packaging and everything perfect. I’m recommend highly!
