Hello everyone!!
Today we look at an entirely new brand for the channel - AddiesDive!
This watch has been on the list to review for a couple of months now & I was quite excited to see it in the flesh.
The watch has a rather classic look about it which would suit both business & casual environments! - At 36mm, the watch wears well on my 7.25 inch wrist & the relatively low weight @ 108g makes it very comfortable to wear.
That sand dune effect dial is stunning & with a Seiko VH31 4 beat per second QUARTZ movement, it gives the look of an automatic but with the convenience & accuracy of quartz!
At around $100 AUD, this is my choice of the year so far for a budget dress watch! - I really cant wait to see this movement incorporated into other styles ...maybe even a no-date submariner homage?? HINT HINT!!!!
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the video! As always, if you like the content please consider subscribing & feel free to ask any questions & I'll come back you.
All the best,
Al

    I have the tan and one of the most attractive features to me is that the dimensions seem to very closely resemble the Rolex date just. For this price you cannot expect much of a bracelet. The watch is a very good go anywhere or do anything type of watch. Very well done video!

    I bought this in brown. I fell for the 36mm explorer case and the unique dial. I have ordered a tan canvas strap to make it more casual. I really like the crystal, I know it’s only mineral but I don’t think that’s a problem. The white looks good too. Good review.

    Good review of a brilliant watch. I cannot recommend this watch highly enough to those who, like me, are fed up with oversized watches. The VH31 movement is fantastic and will still be working with great accuracy when most of the automatics have been discarded as being too expensive to service. The more versions of this watch / case that Addiesdive produces the more I will buy. Anyone for sunburst dials ? How about baton hands ? Maybe 3,6,9 dial with applied indices ?

    It's a new watch all right, starting with three colors 'only'. But if it will be a long term popular model, Addiesdive should go on with more color options. Beside the more conventional black, dark/navy blue, dark green dials they should make some fancy colors like yellow, orange, red, 'tiffany blue', pink(ish), etc. But the biggest shot would be the full lume dial. Seriously, they do not need to change anything at all (indexes, hands, etc) only the dial color and voila we have a nicely shining dial in the dark. Instant get for a lot of folks I think. For me, surely do!

    Dial is Grand Seiko. Case is Datejust 36. Would love to see this with a date at 3:00 and a sunburst silver dial.

    Id love to buy myself one but as usual it doesnt come with extra links and I have and 8.5+ inch wrist and I couldnt find any matching links on Ali for it. I would have to use a NATO strap and id really like the bracelet with this one.

    Seems like Addiesdive didnt know that you were a reviewer. After reading a good bit of comments on this model it seems like reviewer are being sent a better bracelet. Still, im loving my sand Ad2030 on a light blue strap. Beach and summer fitting on a wrist.

    On this white one I would call the white dial texture "snowdrift" - brown would be "sand dune" and blue would be like an "aqua-wave" or "ocean wave" --- at least thats how I perceive the dials.

    Hello, I used to think >40 mm were big watches but have a "speedmaster" (swatch x omega) which is 42mm and a casio ga2100 (casioak) that's 45 and they look great on me, not big at all but I am afraid that a 36mm might be small, what do you think? And what size is your wrist? Thanks, love your videos

    It's a very nice watch, love the dial but they totally misnamed this watch. Deep sea Hunter with 100m water resistance? The strange thing is that they actually have a real 200m dive watch with the snowy style dial, actually nicer than this in my opinion, the AD2117! I would definitely go for I instead, though this is more sporty I suppose. However if it's the dial that attracts you, and I do like it a lot, very Grand Seiko looking, I'd go for the 200m diver. Excellent video by the way!

    For me, this is about as much bang for the buck as you can possibly get. It’s a beautiful watch, and I like it maybe more than my Sarb035. The bracelet, meh. I need to find a suitable replacement. But other than that, I cannot recommend this watch highly enough.

    The branding kills it for me. A better name and a more discreet or classy logo and I’d be buying one. I just know that every time I looked at it, I’d be wishing it wasn’t there.

    Stunned by how many positive reviews this watch is getting. It looks good but believe me the bracelet is terrible - jangly, feels cheap and a real hair puller. Unwearable for me. Might be redeemable by throwing it on a different strap

    Is the movement a genuine Seiko? I don't trust the Chinese. Also that logo is awful.
