Looks a nice well executed piece.. On the wrist does look a lot like the Pelagos, not a bad thing.though a s it's a handsome piece.Another nice micro diver at a good price.
Very nice piece! Perhaps a little bit too thick for my taste, but nonetheless a great watch indeed. Love that Strapcode bracelet. I have to add it. Thank you very much. Cheers, Michele.
I've bought an Orient Mako USA II and now an Armida A1 42mm in SS since subscribing to your channel. I'm asking you to do me a solid. Please don't start posting higher end, more boutique/expensive watch reviews.
I love this watch, I've had my eye on a blue one for a while. Thanks for the size comparison, that was one of the only things holding me back, I thought it was going to sit too high on my wrist.
It was so cool to see your post in wristcheck today... while you were their did you see the invicta modding how-to's? facebook.com/groups/WristCheck & watch @ www.armidawatches.com/a1-42mm.php
Nice watch. Just guessing here but I think helson, maranez, armida are all connected. Their packaging the build quality & the incredible lume are quite similar.
Well, the Helson SD 40 really would wear larger than a typical 40mm, and the Armida would wear very similarly to an SKX; that is to say not that large. The lug to lug on the Armida is only 46mm, whereas on the Helson 40 it's 49mm. Not only that, but the Helson has that large crown and chunky crown guards at 3, further increasing the apparent size. The Armida has a the crown at 4 and much slimmer lugs, which reduced the apparent size. Average Bros has done a video in which he compares these two watches, and he concludes that they wear very similarly in size. I think you are just getting caught on the diameter, and that's just one factor in how large a watch will wear on the wrist.
how heavy is this thing... is it really 170 gr with rubber strap? Interested how about stainless bracelet total weight. nobody seems to talk about this in other videos.
thanks nice review. how different is the quality/design of the original bracelet from your strapcode one? is the strapcode bracelet worth the extra money in your view? thanks
hi! great video! i have 2 questions for you: do you think this watch can fit a 15 cm wrist or it's too big? If it cost 419 dollars with bracelet, how much will be custom taxes included fot the US (i will be in US in 2018)? thanks! cheers from Italy!
Hi, I realy like the Armida A1 but I haven't bought it cause I don't know if I must pay customs or import taxes in the US. It would be great if you could share some light on this subject.

Calvin Tan yes sir. check out the manufacturer, full swing!!
I really like the look of this A1. Too large for me so I plan to get a Helson 40. If this came 40mm and brass I'd likely get it over the Helson.
Well, the Helson SD 40 really would wear larger than a typical 40mm, and the Armida would wear very similarly to an SKX; that is to say not that large.

Great review. I was wondering if you can post a link to the bracelet? It’s a nice match for it especially it currently comes with rubber bracelet.
the a9 in diver blue is speaking my language
Cool vid, really dose come across as a modern skx, what's the price?
how heavy is this thing... is it really 170 gr with rubber strap? Interested how about stainless bracelet total weight. nobody seems to talk about this in other videos.
thanks nice review. how different is the quality/design of the original bracelet from your strapcode one? is the strapcode bracelet worth the extra money in your view? thanks
Very similar but better in that it tapers, totally worth it
thanks!
nice video review! where did u get that bracelet? looks better than OEM
hi! great video! i have 2 questions for you: do you think this watch can fit a 15 cm wrist or it's too big? If it cost 419 dollars with bracelet, how much will be custom taxes included fot the US (i will be in US in 2018)? thanks! cheers from Italy!
I see they ship from Hong Kong, how long did it did to receive your watch from them once ordered ?
Shipping was SUPER fast, only took about 2-3 days
Really does look like a Marathon GSAR.
HI! the 42mm brass is too big for a 15 cm wrist? thanks!
Interesting, Armida make a few different models.
An orange minute hand would be a nice addition, do you think they would swap one if I ask them?
They actually mentioned the next batch would have orange minute hands
They do have now an orange minute hand, like the 45mm A1 or A7. Nice ! I am getting one
Hi, I realy like the Armida A1 but I haven't bought it cause I don't know if I must pay customs or import taxes in the US. It would be great if you could share some light on this subject.
It's ends up being a $14 or so charge from FedEx
Does the OEM bracelet have a ratcheting clasp ?
Yes, it sure does
Doesn't the stock bracelet come with a ratcheting clasp?
yes, I mentioned that
So, you are reviewing the A2, but remove the factory bracelet so we can't see it. Hello, McFly..............
White and cream white doesn't do it for me.
