Nice review on how your AE watches are going. Its always good to hear and see how others watches are going after a while on the wrist and assess performance, or lack of! I only have one AE watch its a PDesign 1701 V3 and it is running very well at +2 seconds v the Atomic Clock after 3mths. I'm quite pleased and use it as my daily beater on a cheap AE bought silicone strap. I don’t have any NH35 movement watches, yet. I am still a bit wary of automatic movements tbh. Theyre not accurate enough for me. That’s on me though. Pity that PD are not very interested in matching the lume of your brightest lume watch for almost the same $$ .. Cheers! 🙂
I recieved my addiesdive quartz Starbucks version last week, I was blown away of how good the lume is. I bought this one before I buy the automatic. I own two paganis (1 milgauss homage 1 pd1175) 2 tandorios (1 mini skx, 1 UH2 homage) honesty, this is very addictive😂
I wonder how those "dive" watches will handle things in the deep sea. I've only used Seiko and Casio dive watches. Nice designs and variety in your collection, BTW.
the most common reaction, especially for non-watch enthusiasts, is why would you buy a Chinese watch when you can get Casio, Citizen or Seiko by paying a little bit more. This is what I have observed so far.
Unless you know what you are doing, just take quartz watches to a jeweler. These were mostly automatic, I believe, so give them a wind or wear them to keep them going
All great watches with decend build quality. But 5 watches with a lot of wristtime whereby the watches are about 1 year old? Or do you wear multiple watches at the same time? Hope to see these watches in 2025 again😅 My AliExpress watches are still going strong after 4 years. But that's what I expected with Seiko and Seagull movements....
This has been a debate now for quite awhile. One really nice watch like a Rolex or many affordable watches. For most luxury watch collectors, a $600-$700 watch would be affordable! That watch would be no different than a Chinese AliExpress watch. Your argument sounds a little stupid!
Yes, made of 316L stainless, with ceramic bezels, saphire crystal, rubber gaskets, and NH35 movements, just like these, only 4-5 times as much! What a privilege, and if you're really lucky you might get a Seiko with a bezel that aligns correctly at that price! Respectable makers and their crap QC.
not at all. it's not all about dive watches ypu know... you can get a grand seiko , or a king seiko, or a citizen jet, or a seiko gyro marvel , or a seikomatic, and dozens of other watches . but surely not these ali crap @@karmicneurot9829

I have an Addiesdive as well as a San Martin Starbucks. The lume on the AD smokes the SM any time.

Nice Pagani design!
Complete coincidence, my "Willard" is around 4 seconds slow per day.
Nice one
i like the black strap on the steeldive where did you get it from AE? If so can you drop a link
I got it from a local strap seller in Sydney, www.thesydneystrapco.com/products/sailcloth-quick-release-black
Good going ❤
the white cap Willard looks cool actually. out of curiosity. how are people reacting when they discover they are Chinese watches?

@@letstalkwatches this was my own opinion in the past, but I changed it a bit. Still, I would not buy Chinese watches over £100.
How you change the battery on ali express watches?

Buy a timegrapher and correct the timing.
for 600-700 dollars you can get an excellent brand new watch from any respectable maker, or a vintage watch . not these ...

But you get just one. I prefer to have a nice variety of watches
