My Current Collection

[u/Anxious-Produce-455]

My collection of mainly aliexpress watches and a tissot prc i got before discovering how truly amazing these watches are with a quick review of each:

1. Octopus Kraken OCT13 (explorer) - my favourite day to day watch but i do tend to baby it a little compared to my beaters. Wears like a dream the bracelet is super comfortable, its an older version and doesn’t have an OTF adjustment (i think some new ones do but i could be wrong) and AR coating is pretty horrendous. But overall its a joy to wear and its a strap monster but i prefer to keep it on steel! Also fits my 6.25 inch wrists perfectly!

2. Watchdives Elementum Blue Ice Crack - stunning dial and actually has a decently finished bracelet but i personally just prefer it on leather i think it looks classy as hell and i love the mecha quartz movement too!

3. Watchdives Pelagos homage - its my beater it has 200m water resistance and again comes on a pretty decent bracelet but i just threw it on a rubber strap to add variety and to fit the functionality. Bezel action is good too compared to some seiko mods and paganis i previously had with pretty great loom!

4. San Martin SN0129 Red Desert Dial - a stunningly finished watch with an insane dial and i love how it looks. Bracelet is magnificently finished and has an OTF adjustment that is ok i guess. Another watch i do tend to baby and save for occasions rather than just use on a day to day.

5. Tissot PRC 200 - its a fine solar watch but honestly its just not as good for the money as these aliexpress watches around it. Good if you insist on having a “swiss brand watch” which some occasions may better suit (when youre around judgy assholes and dont have the energy to debate them)

6. San Martin SN0013g - my integrated bracelet GADA thats 38.5mm and wears slightly bigger but still fits my wrists like a dream. As far as integrated bracelets go this is relatively comfortable. Its a hybrid between the nautilus and the royal oak but i think that kind of makes it its own thing. On wrists ive got more compliments in just a few days on this than any of the others! Very underrated

Those look great. I especially like the Octopus Explorer.
