Make it 99.999%. Professional divers don't use dive watches any more. They use dive computers. However, to have a date window has nothing to do with being a dive watch. Tons of LEGIT historical dive watches (Exactus Aquamax, Citizen Promaster, Seiko 6159...) had a date window. Simply the manufacturer imagined the watch would have not been used EXCLUSIVELY for diving. And that's because it was BETTER that way. A mechanical watch that you use JUST for diving, and it's left unused the rest of the time, is a watch you can't really rely on because, the moment it will malfunction, you'll be underwater and depending on it.
I agree about the date window. There is this dark and shiny dial, then a stark white date window that just interrupts the whole look. Still a beautiful watch, but that stops me from purchasing it.
I never no the date and i look for it on cell phone. Sure i agree its useful when you wear one watch 70% of thentime or have a 3-5 rotation watches. For me, but this is a personal opinion, 1) date is a complication that disturbs normal dial symetry, 2) useless as i change watches daily i never set the date so its always indicating wrong date, but is just a matter of use and personal taste at the end, glad you saw video and did not miss my date opinion😉 thx
SOrry i did no wrist shots? please check my Italian video on this watch, usually next to this. i am sure i did. ITs not big, its 42mm. for my 18.5 cm wirst it wears just fine actually , sure 40mm would be better but at the end of the day its ok
@@WatchInTime ok thks (ua-cam.com/video/1iXEBp4MjkM/v-deo.html ). Your wrist is quite large, which explains why the watch doesn't seem so big in comparison.
Nobody that wears a diving watch actually uses it for diving. If you actually dive, you'd buy a real diving watch with better lumen, a divers clasp, and better water resistance, so the date on the face is irrelevant. To me, the date is needed. If I'm going to use my cell phone to see the date, I can use it to see the time also. I like having a date on my "divers" watch.

Sorry, I respect your personal perferences, but they are only that, personal preferences. "diving watches are not made to have dates" is 100% bullshit. To have a date window has nothing to do with being a dive watch. Professional divers don't use dive watches any more. They use dive computers. But tons of LEGIT historical dive watches (Exactus Aquamax, Benrus Ultra Deep, Omega Seamaster 1000, Citizen Promaster, Seiko 6159...) had a date window. Even the Doxa Sub 300 of Jacques Costeau had a date window. Simply the manufacturer imagined the watch would have not been used EXCLUSIVELY for diving. And that's because it was BETTER that way.

What is that weird date shaped index at 6:00 on your GMT? 6:12
it's a date window
He said his GMT doesn't have a date window
Looking into my heart, I like the date function on my watch. 90% of the people wearing a dive watch never dive with the watch. Nice review.
Make it 99.999%.

fyi: it has a Sellita SW200-1 movement, not a soprod ;)
True
Love having a date window
👏😍 its a matter of personal taste 👅
When I wear a watch without the date I find myself looking for the date and then realizing it's not there. Date is actually a useful complication IMO.

Mine has the date window framed
Is the cross symbol on the face crooked?
OMG it actually seems to be a bit crooked!
@@WatchInTime I received mine today and it’s not like that. I’d give them a call.
Done it send it back, they will send me a new one- good customer support i might add
@@WatchInTime Great customer support. I had a problem with the crown on mine and they sent me a new one before I even sent the other one back.
It looks straight to me.
ho una opinione positiva verso questo marchio, stanno crescendo
Why not address the elephant in the room? It is a very large watch, how does it fit on your wrist (and how big is your wrist) ?

Yes it all a matter of taste at the end, i like clean dials and most of the time they on my opinion dont get right the position / color etc of it
