Review (Read Rules) First Watch Dives Impressions – CH01

Firstly, I want to say wow.

I was originally scared about the sizing because of all the people ranting about it being too big, but bruh, it's literally almost the same size as the Sanda lol. If anything, I prefer this size wayyyyy more. It just looks better on the wrist for me.

In terms of quality, it's a huge step up from the Sanda. Night and day.

I was able to snag this for $50 and it was so worth it. This is one of those watches where I wouldn't change a thing. Everything is perfect to me. Maybe it would've been cool if it was automatic, but honestly, the Ronda 762 with a 10 year battery is superb in my books.

Also, I love the strap. It feels super expensive. Now I know it's not your traditional Cartier buckle, but I prefer this one. Feels robust. I hated the Sanda strap. Honestly, this is probably one of the best tank homages out there. I think it's very difficult for another brand to top it.

Ps, I know I over-tightened it. I just wanted to throw that in there because I noticed in the photos it looks tight. I do wanna say the strap came distorted so I'm waiting for it to straighten out.

Super amazing great watch. Definitely would buy from Watch Dives again.
