I have a thing for neo-vintage dive watches, and this new diver from Héron is right up my alley. This Canadian microbrand has knocked it out of the park with this release. If you're looking for a classy dive watch that's versatile and tough enough to do it all, the Héron Marinor might be a good contender. *Héron Marinor Atlantic Blue* ► www.heronwatches.com/collections/marinor *Collaboration in...

Traska watches have always been on my radar, and after 2 long years, I've finally pulled the trigger on the Traska Summiteer 36mm v4 that just came out in 2023.

    Nice review. Have a look at Wise ADX, I prefer it over most microbrand GMTs.

    After 3-4 trips to the ocean the paint inside the indices of the bezel insert on my San Martin progressively faded away with each trip. While the out of the box impression is great don't expect much in terms of longevity. Also, the sapphire crystal is cloudy at certain angles, the reflections get in the way of seeing at the dial. It was a fun experiment to test out one of these Chinese factory brands but the product quickly went from wow to meh. After enjoying the look of the watch on my wrist I'm starting to justify the $3,500 for the SJE093.

    I don't think this is very close to the original. I have both the actual BB58 and also a San Martin SN004 (Watchdives edition I think) and this Octopus seems to suffer from many of the same problems as the San Martin. The biggest issue is color science. The areas that are black on the original looks grey on the Octopus. The numbers on the bezel of the original has a gold metallic sheen to them. Same with the red triangle. On the Octopus they are plain yellow and red. Same with the printing on the dial. On the original it has a nice glow to it. On the Ocopus it is just yellow. Also the bezel is about twice as thick on the Octopus vs the BB58. All in all it looks okay (better than my San Martin) but still it misses out on what makes the BB58 on amazing watch (in my opinion).

    Just got the black version today all steel....NOT Impressed. Watch seems nice but the bracelet is a POS! the tool that comes with the box looks and works great....except not ONE screw will back out of that bracelet to allow you to size the bracelet. that's why they include that uber cheap cloth bracelet...not because they're being nice. the Steeldive hulk I got had it's tool and pushed out the pins no problem allowing me to remove two links on each side for a perfect fit. clasp seems nice but BFD if you can't size the bracelet. Maybe I got screwed Pun intended Now you know purchase at your own risk!

    Buyer Beware! I bought one of these back in Jan 2024. I have several watches and so wore this maybe a couple times. When I went to wear it a few weeks later, the movement kept stopping. Boderry took a while to respond to my email, and had to be prompted by the very responsive AliExpress message responder. They told me to return it for warranty repair. Postage to China cost me almost $20, which they said they'd refund AFTER it was fixed. Here we are in July, and still no watch. They keep promising to get it out 'this week'. Never happens. Now, there's no response to my emails. I'll never buy another Boderry! 🤬
