Great review and surprising there are not more reviews out there on LIV watches. I have the GX1-A that i bought for just under £400 and i have to say it's a fabulous watch. It keeps chronometer time and feels extremely well built, i don't mind the LIV logo and it's never jumped out to me, but can understand it's not for everyone. All i will say is for the money you get great materials and movements and i had vey good good communication and service from LIV. I personally think they represent great value for money and are well worth a look.

Amazing!

I got a new GX1A still wrapped in plastic from FB marketplace for $150. I didnt care for it much looking at photos, but in person, it turned put to be a great looking watch! Very catchy!

I have this exact watch and it is stunning. I also have a 44mm diver and one other Liv. The quality of Liv watches is right up there with the biggest brands in my opinion. As a company, you also really feel part of something. The communication is brilliant and their customer service is effortless. I have three. I intend to buy many more. This brand is special.

Thank you Lee for being a part of the LIV family!

Surprisingly I have this exact watch. I also have a LIV 44 diver. The 41 TJ is my daily watch. I’ve had it for a year and it has been awesome. Many compliments (more than my Omega Seamaster ever gets, and I love my Omega!). Truly looks new except some minor scuffing on the clasp. No screw problems for me! Although you made me check…Bottom line for me is that this watch is awesome. I personally love the look. And for the price point it just can’t be beat. I feel like I can wear it and beat it up and use it with the idea that I can purchase another if I destroy it. But surprisingly it has held up over a year of constant wearing remarkably.well. Thanks for the review!

Thanks Ted for sharing the LIV love :)

I am a fan of LIV watches- I have 4 of them and plan on adding more to my collection. I’m currently looking at getting the 2nd generation of this 41mm diver in classic black, which does have a Matt ceramic bezel. There are several interesting color choices that have been added since this video was made. Thanks for the review!

I’ve been wanting to check out LIV as well. Looks like a great piece, with a couple of quirks, but still nice. Thanks for featuring!

Actually way better than I expected!!

I own a 41mm LIV full lume diver. An absolutely stunning watch. I also own a gx-AC and a Saturn moon phase chrono by LIV. Never seen a loose screw and I can tell you my LIV watches get lots of compliments compared to my tissot and seiko type watches.

Wow, that's awesome Matthew!

Nice well done review.The LIV watch looks nice but I would not pay $700 not even $600

I like the watch. I agree, that LIV billboard above the "6" is unnecessary. Looks like a well built watch, I've seen them many times online before. Thanks for the review!

I was ready to pull out my AMEX card until I saw the billboard Liv sign on the dial. Oh well, I will just have to wait and check out their next offering.

I was looking at the p51 with the brown black rivet wrist band. Looks gorgeous but was a little unsure.

I've had my Liv 41mm diver for about a year now. All Black PVD with orange dial. It's a striking watch for sure and I think I marginally prefer it to my Steinhart Ocean 2 Black.

Thank you for sharing.

Chaz's wife came up with the name LIV, she said she felt it was fitting being their motto is to live free etc. So it is pronounced LIV as in living ...

I was surprised with thickness of MV Nereide after purchase too.It was listed as 12.7mm on the site,but in reality its 14.3mm.As to LIV I had it on my "likelist" but I remember a story from one of the watch groups how they handled a watch blogger,that they tried to get out from the payment,and it was a funny low 50$ bill from what I remember.So no Liv for me.But looking at their watches now after being a year more in the hobby I think their dials looks weird,almost like made of plastic🤔

Nice watches. Shame the company and it's Facebook group can't take some constructive criticism. I'm in the process of returning previously purchased watches and cancelling another that was pre ordered. I've been blocked from commenting on Facebook but guess what,I'm still able to on here. Well done LIV for not putting the customer first.

@@nomansland4811 LIV are an awful company who censor anything even slightly negative said about them. Very obnoxious and arrogant. Advise everyone to avoid.

My P51 Titanium Black Dial/Orange still works well today. But a few weeks after receiving the watch, the automatic winding mechanism came loose for no apparent reason. This is actually totally embarrassing for LIV. I had it repaired by my watchmaker. Shipping and repair in the US would have taken too long and the cost of shipping is unacceptable. There is also the risk of paying import tax another time when returning it to Germany. At that price, it doesn't make sense. I love the watch anyway. It looks brute and draws the eye out. The quality and features are really good for the Kickstarter price at the time.

Hi. I'm in Canada and am wary of ordering for reasons like this. Would shipping it to Liv for warranty work be up to you/me to pay?! That seems unreasonable, especially for the pricier watches like the P51 or the GX-AC (the one I want). Hmmmmm

This kinda seems like they took some cool stuff from some other micros and mixed it into something that’s much less cool looking, purely my opinion….it’s still a nice watch. Thanks Don 👊🏼

Best bezel action of any watch I’ve ever worn, including a Rolex sub. Hate the LIV and screwed on back

This is just an aside for all watch bands - personally I adjust my bands so the clasp is as fully centered as possible on my wrist. Just a quirk but I think it helps make any watch look even nicer. Oh and what triggered this comment was 8:50 of the video….!

Thank you for watching and thank you fir the comment. Keep in mind, this watch is not sized. When I do size a piece, I, much the same as you, I want the clasp centered.

holy billboard

12 & 6 yikes.. gotta go. The rest looks fine to me, but a screw falling out of a $700 watch noooo way... That thing would've gone back in the box immediately and a call to their customer service explaining how it's coming back, why and that they would be eating the shipping bc that's ridiculous. The 41 looks a tad short on lug to lug for your wrist and i assume mine (7.25). I don't go below 43mm with at least 49-50 lug to lug.. maybe a 42.5, but the lugs have to be longish for it not to look like a women's watch on my wrist... Ill go to a 46mm but only on a rubber strap as the straps cut size down vs bracelet. Overall I'd pass bc of the 12 & 6 numbers and QC on a $700 watch. Do they think money comes out of my butt? Thx for the review! I was curious about them. If you can, try to get your hands on the traser diver for a review!

39mm is a great size

Nothing in this price range really is. I would google what constitutes being able to mark a watch as Swiss Made, basically it can be produced elsewhere and send to Switzerland for movement drop in and final assembly.

I can understand the success of LIV. Respectfully and politically incorrect, it is a horrible watch, without class, over designed but without a sense of purpose, only to look cool and be more striking, like a fashion watch but well built.

Lol a screw fell out

You doing a review and don’t even know the name of the watchmaker

This should be called unboxing not a review you haven't mentioned nothing about the movement

It’s a standard ETA 2824. I’ve reviewed 100’s of them, unless completely unregulated they run in spec and if I notice something wrong with my example -erratic sweep, really fast or slow etc I’ll mention it but otherwise it’s your standard base Swiss movement.

TOTAL HYPE. Had one of these a week and it's full of water. Yes the crown was screwed down. This brand is a disgrace to the Swiss watch making community
