I have this watch, manufactured October 2019. The watch is the same, with two small improvements - the ratcheting clasp and a different bezel, though the bezel is more of a matter of taste I suppose.
I do love the brand snobs with their predictable one-dimensional comments!! You'd have to be a complete muppet not to see this is an exceptional watch for the money. Great review btw :)
Thanks very much indeed for a thorough and very enjoyable review. Your enthusiasm for the watch if very apparent. First Helson review I have seen. Very rarely I see an affordable watch like this which is so appealing. Normally, I would not buy a watch without first seeing it in real life. But this one may be the exception! Cheers, Carl
with the same money and even less you can get a real swiss made diver watch like the certina ds action which is also iso compliant or a mido yes a mido, swiss brands are getting more and more available at reasonable prices and the quality and finishing are way better to these so called micros! if you need a diver stick to Seiko Prospex line or Citizen Promaster they have been manufacturing diver watches for decades and they know how to build quality divers at a very reasonable prices believe me I'm a diver and have used seiko and citizen divers since the 80s with a citizen ny0040 I got up to -95mts w/o a single problem, the same watch I read it was tested and endorsed by the italian frogmens (the best in the world) up to 500atm and it did pass (cost of the watch 140usd and is also iso compliant), I friend of mine got one of these helson sd, actuaslly it was a 2000mt model leaked while he was snorkeling, would never use one of these even in a swimming pool!

What was the improvement to the bezel?

What do u mean a complete Muppet?
A solid, in-depth review of the Shark Diver 40... Good camera work as well. Great job.
HELSON is one of the first 20 most quality watches in the world. I am in the watch business for more than 30 years. AWESOME watches !

Appreciate the review but add a normal light exposure so we can see the true highlights in the real world.
What size of the wrist of the person on the video?
In another video, he mentioned he has 7 and a half inch wrist...
Thanks for the review! If you get a chance, let us know what size your wrist is. Thanks!
Nice! What size is the strap?
Great review! How about the price?
first time I see one and I'm loving it. I like big sized watches I have a certina ds action 43mm. thanks for the video.
The lug size and chunky crown guards seem to make it wear larger than 40mm
I've had one of these. Great watch for the money!
Anyone know if these are iso certified? I dont think they are
Wow this is one cool wrist watch i love it !
Have you tested it underwater?
The absence of diver extension in the clasp killed the watch inside me.
If they changed the hands I would like this watch.
I see what you mean about the hands. Hard to tell at first glance.
What kind of hands would you prefer?
Love the review ;-)
FIVE white triangles ! must be THE diver watch... looks very expencive in those matrousjka boxes

Thanks for the heads up on the Certina.
Always a fan of Mido.
Dreadful 1 dimensional boring opinionated point of view
Helson watches are made in China, enough said.
China doesn't mean a bad made but it's not prestigious
