The last thing Scurfa needed was to have Teddy make a video causing even MORE people to try and buy watches that aren't available. I love the brand (even though I've yet to be able to see one in the metal) and Paul Scurfield is a fascinating man (great interview with him on TGN) and I've been trying to buy one for a year or so.

I have one and love it. Built like a tank and super comfortable on the wrist. The perfect daily diver watch.

Thx for the comment. I'm getting one. I need a cheaper watch for traveling. I left one of my favorite watches in a hotel room. Lost half a day of traveling going back to get it.

I have the non titanium 10th anniversary edition in silver that dropped last month as my first and only watch, love it!

Hi Teddy, thanks for highlighting the Scurfa dive watch. Love seeing the brand highlighted. Hate to think how much harder it’s going to be now to purchase a new Scurfa!! Keep up the great work. Love your videos and what you do to help educate all of us who are watch enthusiasts!

I love that you lend credibility to quartz watches. So many watch snobs act as if a quartz is not even a watch. But for some of us watch enthusiasts, mechanical watches, while being amazing little micro-machines, require too much work to keep running, some interaction to keep on time, and lots of expense to maintain. Quartz solves all of theses problems. Plus, many of the high end HAQ models are simply amazing watches. Case in point...the Citizen Chronomasters. Absolutely amazing time pieces!

Thanks for doing this video Teddy. Some of my favorite videos that you share are the ones that cover watches like this that may not be as well known but tell an interesting story. Just bought my Diver One today

I have my Diver One on now. Just a great dive watch. I have stainless version and couldn't be happier with it. Thanks!

Love the Scurfa. It's a honest and practical dive time piece that will appeal to people who appreciates function and usability. These time pieces are not over-built, but just nice. All cost savings are passed on to the consumer and that's a wonderful gesture from the founder. It is never screaming to be a premium dive watch and is not pretending to be one. Just an honest tested tool watch that will appeal to a niche group of grateful + appreciative consumers 👍😊

I'm in the UK Teddy and I have had one for about a year. I also scuba dive. It is the best value dive watch I have and at the price ideal to take diving rather than my aquis or Pelagos. Although I have dived with them I'd be alot more upset if I lost them over this. Also great to wear and dive with a watch designed by a commercial diver. Great video as always best wishes Dale

It’s been my most worn watch for around four years. Can’t beat the package: the accuracy and serviceability of quartz, stainless steel, beefy crossbars and nato strap options, sapphire crystal and AR, and some models come with ceramic bezels. There is zero sloppiness in the bezel action, although mine gets a touch sticky/hard to turn when in salt water. Just a fanatic piece. A lot people mistake it for a Sub.

I have the blue ten year anniversary model. Beautiful sunburst blue dial, fully lumed ceramic bezel insert and a steel case. The polishing on the case is outstanding. I love the distortion from the crystal. Just a terrific watch for the money and a brand that deserves Teddy’s attention.

I agree with all that was said. The story and purpose-driven quality are a real plus. Had I a need for another diver, I’d buy this.

Looks really nice. Best feature for me is the domed crystal with internal AR coating. I think that’s the best combo for managing reflections. An external AR coating might scratch or break down, but a curved surface for me softens reflections. I don’t like how flat crystals can flash at me. Main thing that could be improved for me is probably the clasp. I like easily operated micro-adjust, but many watches don’t have it. I like the sword hands. It looks like the rubber strap has close hole spacing which is good. Personally I’d probably hold off on this watch until I actually take up diving 😅

Cool - I'm also a (former) commercial diver and have seen these online a few times. Very neat!

I have that exact model on my wrist today. They have usually been quite attainable in the past, but recent publicity is making them hard to get with releases being sold out in record times. Used to be a hidden gem. Good for Skurfa and bad for those of us that have loved them for a long time.

A brand I had never heard of before. And a stunning classic but really cool design for this diver, whatever the price is. WOW

You're a good salesman Teddy. That watch has some good specs and looks well built. Nice clean easy to read dial and I don't mind the border.

Im not into dive watches at all but I'm still watching as your production of the videos are top notch, i enjoy your videos so much❤

This is a definite must buy for me, looking for one as we speak. Super high quality stats and a very affordable price

Been wearing Scurfa watches for years in the surf in San Diego. Love this brand and now that you reviewed them again it will be harder to get a new Scurfa im sure :)

The light blue Treasure Seeker is my daily beater. Love it! Like it so much better than my Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean.

Great to see lesser known brands being discussed. Looks interesting!

True about I hate quartz haha, but Solar Quartz I can accept since I hate changing batteries.

I bought the 10th anniversary steel with green dial. I could be wrong, but the bezel looks plated which cheapens the look of you ask me. I’d lean toward the model Teddy recommends instead - better overall finishing. While not worn at depth, I have worn it in the ocean. Great visibility. Better with a nato strap since the rubber strap was quite rigid. Overall great watch, cool dial, and solid build quality.

I purchased the 10 year anniversary in black about 4 weeks ago - it is one of the best watches I own

Just ordered mine and look forward to many adventures in the water. My Seiko 5 didn’t stand the test of time, surprisingly not because of the depth rating which is fine for shallow diving, but because the crystal could not take the abrasion of sand getting between the watch and wetsuit.

These now have a FOMO factor since they restock only occasionally and you have to jump in quickly when they become available. That aside they have the best back story possible for a dive watch. If you want one remember the guy still works at a full time job so be patient.

Love this and how professional it looks.

Cool watch! Love seeing the affordable, hidden gems. Maybe a video on telemeter chronographs?

Blue Diver One in Steel on my wrist as I type. I work in the oil industry i have done much drilling work in the North Sea and West of Shetlands. I believe Paul Scurfield works for commercial diving company Subsea 7 who are a major player providing services to oil and gas companies like pipeline and flowline installation, inspection and testing, subsea tree work etc. etc. When I heard of the wach via TGN I knew I had to have one. I've even gifted a few to retiring colleagues as the watch has such a good story.

Great watches in stainless and better yet in Titanium. Worth a good bit more than Paul Scurfield asks for them. There is a reason it looks a lot like the original mil-subs. Good for you to take the time to do a great video on these watches. The Scurfa dive watches deserve every accolade.

I check to see if they have restocked twice a day, I need one!

I got a Diver One D1-500 T Dial new last year as a beater/holiday watch. Love the dial colour and it is really decent for the price. The rubber strap is a tad stiff at first but good quality. They are tricky to find in stock though that is for sure.

I added MS22 version and bought their light blue strap to add some colour. Ocean blue was not bright enough but matches the Sinn U1 blue face really well (mine's actually a U50 SBS but probably the same blue). The hardware also fits Helm straps nicely. Only thing I don't like is the distortion from the domen sapphire but understand its dive benefits. Persevere with the customer service which is less than perfect and needs logic reiterating to get your point across. I settled for some spare spring bars to offset a misunderstanding but they're very busy so need some slack as we all make mistakes when overrun. Keep thinking about another though... 😉

One of my favorite watches over the past few years. Has been in many bodies of water with me and the fam. I have a stainless D1 with blue dial and yellow hands. Titanium model will likely be in my future.

Fantastic watch at a realistic price point. I'm getting one.

These were the best kept secret on the watch Market, but I fear now word is out and they are getting hard to obtain.

Love my Scurfa Top Side, fantastic watch!

Hallo teddy, I don't dive, but I think it is nice to see a brand with a real diver behind it. I have a question: could you explain where is the line between a cheaper brand like this and much higher end brands,is the difference really so big?

You are a true professional watch expert ‼️

Nice review. I have the blue no date in steel. Great watch. I was hoping to be able to pickup a Ti model. This isn’t going to help with availability.

Great watch. I have a steel case, orange dial Diver 1 which I bought used. You pretty much have to because they sell out so quickly.

Never heard of it. Interesting.

As a dive watch does it simply measure dive time or time elapsed under water? Are there any other functions?

Color me IMPRESSED!

Well that certainly is a real bargain. It really ticks all the boxes for a dive watch and the cherry 🍒 on top of the cake is that it is designed by a professional diver. I don't know if they offer a mechanical version, but this would be nice 👍.

At this point I'm not sure why Paul and his wife don't hire someone else to help manage more product or retire from diving. These are bad ass watches especially for the price, luckily I snatched a MS 22 and I love it. The size of the diver one is actually exactly the same as a 4k sea dweller.

Were can you get one? It seems you don't have then and they are all sold out on their website.

Hi Teddy. Can you have a review on Dwiss watches?

Nowadays, I am trying to stay away form quartz as much as possible, but this would certainly make for a good beater.

Good, simple, honest quartz, sort of elegance , i guess! I Like it!**)

i like watches. they are good.

Scurfa makes a great watch talked to the owner Paul Scurfield a few times nice guy with an passion for the hobby

Here's an idea. Promote a watch that's been sold out forever. That'll fix the issue.

I like the Forteller Cambrian better although it's also hard to get

Looks exactly like the Shinola Lake Michigan Monster. Not a criticism, just an observation. Cool looking piece.

Except it doesn't, it more closely resembles the old Submariners in dimensions (40mm, 20 lugs, 47ish L2L) it is a watch designed by a commercial diver (the sort who used to wear Comex in the 70s & 80s).

nooooo im trying to get a Scurfa at the mo. now u're drawing attention to the brand im not gonna be able to get one for another year at least now 😂

Hey Teddy, love your content 👌🏼 Can you try to get a hands on Escudo Watches and review one of them? Would be cool 🙏🏼

Too bad it has a quartz movement. Can you tell me if it is also sold with a mechanical movement? Also can you tell me if it is also sold in Italy? Peccato che monta un movimento al quarzo. Puoi dirmi se viene venduto anche con un movimento meccanico? Inoltre puoi dirmi se viene venduto anche in Italia?

Good luck trying to buy one. They should have named it the Neither One.

They had a watch for sell for about 3 minutes the other day. But even if you established an account prior to the sell and were online and on the site when the watch became available. I found it impossible to purchase one. It was a frustrating experience and I doubt I'll try again.

500M WR at this price with Swiss movement and nice finishing, impressive.

Great looking watch, but I can't walk around with something that sounds like scurfies...😢

To change the battery would be a chore. That is the biggest drawback for me.

Scurfa is the only watch brand that makes Helm look as easily attainable as Seiko, you stand a better chance of getting a sports steel Rolex from an AD in a shorter time.

5 days ago I was able to order the D1 Original, and today it arrived! The email notification that I signed up for didn't alert me (these things rarely seem to for any site) I kept open tabs on the one I wanted and refreshed once every couple of days. Nice watch!

reminds me of the Wenger Seaforce in Blue, 43 mm 200m watch

As a diver (lowly DM), this is a proper tool watch. Quartz accuracy and reliability, lots of pressure resistance, good legibility (I suspect that dome pops the info underwater too) and a useful bezel. I don't see minute tracks that suggestsw no ISO cert??, which is a little weird for a proper dive watch but whatever. Nice piece from a real diver - good stuff.

Looks good but Im hesitant to buy a watch that prints watches on the dial, of I don't know,,,,, a watch, a bit redundant, IMO.

They should at the very least stick a Seiko VH31 in there to avoid the quartz tick and potential misallignment

Another good video on a great watch, but you've just made this hen's tooth even harder to get!

I was surprised to see it as a quartz. To this day I’m still kicking myself that I bought a Brosnan quartz sea master years ago on sale before I realised that one didn’t ever buy a quartz watch.

As soon as I see a ticking quartz second hand I’m instantly not interested

I’ve been diving for nearly 40 years, been a dive instructor for 35 years, have run a recreational dive operation for 30 years and was a commercial diver for ages. NOBODY and I mean nobody uses these watches; not the SBS, not NAVY SEALS, not Unit 101, not Shayetet 13, not technical divers, and not commercial divers use these types of watches wile diving. These watches offer nothing more than minutes and seconds. There’s no compass, there’s no depth info, they don’t record your dive profiles, they don’t calculate RNT, the don’t apply surface time to RNT, etc, etc, etc. IMHO anybody calling these watches a dive watch is a grifting clown looking to capitalize on Omega or Rolex’s 70 year old designs. A helium escape valve? How many humans live in a "He" rich environment requiring a watch with off gassing capability? A commercial diver isn’t going to buy/wear a $250 watch, they’ve got the money and will buy a Rolex Seamaster or an Omega

While I appreciate the value, not sure why you continue to advertise them when it’s nearly impossible to get a new one. They are never available and sell out in minutes when they are. Value is only value if it is attainable.
