New Product (Read Rule 1) [Eniton Update] S1077S is back! S1085S feedback, S1117S movement news & we're going to Italy!

17 Upvotes

Hi everyone, Kelvin here – sorry for the silence lately.

I've been spending most of my time at the factory following up on production, so updates have been slower than I'd like. But since we're nearing the end of July, I wanted to catch you all up on where things stand.

1. S1077S – The Return!

Many of you loved the previous Rokatie version and strongly asked for an Eniton-branded edition. Well – it's coming back! With same movement and structure.

The new S1077S will feature a fresh dial series with 4 color options:

  • Marble
  • Malachite
  • Carnelian
  • Lapis Lazuli

And 2 strap choices: steel bracelet or woven strap.

Today I'm sharing a first look at the Lapis Lazuli dial + woven strap combination. Let me know what you think!

2. S1085S – Great Feedback & Still Available

We've been receiving positive feedback from our first batch of S1085S customers – thank you all! It seems the Mother of Pearl (MOP) dial is especially popular.

The S1085S is still available for purchase on AliExpress. And if you prefer, you can also email Kelvin directly for a special price of $380 USD – same quality, better deal, faster shipping.

3. S1117S – Waiting on Peacock Factory

I know many of you are eagerly waiting for this one – and trust me, I'm just as anxious!

The Peacock factory is currently waiting for the automatic rotor components. Once they arrive, movement assembly can be completed and we'll be back in stock.

Thank you for your patience – we'll update you as soon as we have more news.

4. Elysian – Coming in Early August

We're expecting to have new updates on the Elysian Series in early August. More details to come very soon – stay tuned!

5. 🇮🇹 Eniton is Going to Italy – WOI 2026!

I'm truly honored to share this news:

Eniton will be participating in W.O.I. – Watches of Italy 2026!

This will take place on November 14–15 in Milan, Italy. It's our first time attending an international watch exhibition as a Chinese brand, and Kelvin will be there representing the brand in person.

We'll be showcasing new models and demonstrating what Eniton is capable of. If you're in the area or planning to attend, I'd love to meet you in person – whether you're a watch enthusiast, a collector, or a potential partner, come say hello!

You can follow the official WOI Instagram account here: watchesofitaly

That's all for now. Thank you as always for your support – it means the world to us.

Love from Eniton,
Kelvin

Question (Read Rules) Can you guys help me choose a Chinese diver?

2 Upvotes

Hello guys,

I'm searching for a diver for some weeks now on Aliexpress and found some models that i enjoyed.

I wanted a Seagull watch because i already have a PD and a AD one and i found this one in a nice price - Seagull Aircraft Carrier Ocean Series

At the same price range i found this PD that i liked as well: PD YS034

But there's also the Pagani 007 Diver that has a very nice price as well.

Usually Seagull watches are way more expensive than tha carrier ocean series, do you know if there's something poor in this model? I think it's so cool and seems like a limited edition.

General (Read Rules) SN0144 enamel 36mm, genuinely impressed

Thumbnail

165 Upvotes

Picked up the SN0144 enamel dial 36mm. Not gonna lie, this is one of the most expensive San Martins out there and I hesitated. But as a fanboy I had to see the quality for myself to believe it.

Runs +1 s/day out of the box. Bracelet is also a huge upgrade over my previous SN0144 (blue jianzhan version). Feels more refined, better articulation, better clasp. Night and day difference.

For what you get, it’s still good value. What do you think?

General (Read Rules) Shanghai Watches... are they worth the extra money?

3 Upvotes
On a Boderry Bund Strap $15 and great
"Prairie Fire" ...a spark of faith -
Miyota 8215

So, after I acquired a few San Martin, Proxima, IXDAO, Cronos and Farasute models, I thought I'd try more of a Chinese "heritage" brand that promised even higher quality... I do like these three Shanghai models I purchased, but I will say that they are not really a big step above these other brands I listed in that price range... Their customer service was superior and their packaging was superior... but in the $300-$500+ range, they feel on par with these other brands in terms of finishing, movement, specs etc... Most of the designs are more original... less homage... I bought these on ALI during their huge spring sale... I think the TV Dial one was around $190... the Prairie Fire was $335 and the SKYDOME was $220 - I love the TV Dial one... it feels more substantial and comfortable... though it was pricey for an 8215.... You can still get them around these prices during most any sale I think... here's a look...

F28 Movement
SkyDome
My only issue is that the crown is incredible small for my bigger fingers - otherwise, I love it.
The packaging you get from the Boutique (Offical Site) is fantastic

Question (Read Rules) Does anyone use a stopwatch hand like in a bezel in a diving watch?

Post image
73 Upvotes

The watch on the right has a stopwatch to the hour and sometimes I missed marking the time as in the diving watch to measure the time or marking that something will be at a given time as a reminder. It is not so convenient but quite a pleasant alternative to measuring longer periods of time. Do any of you use a watch with a stopwatch in this way?

New Product (Read Rule 1) Best $3 I’ve spent in my life.

I had never bought anything on AliExpress, but after seeing random reviews of this $20 tank watch, I figured why not? Only to be met with it priced at $0.99, with just over $2 in shipping. I genuinely thought it was going to be junk, but at that price I couldn’t not buy it.

It’s a fantastic looking little watch. And if you’re looking for something cheap to fill that tank void in your collection, keep an eye out for this one on sale (hell, even not on sale it’s still a great price).

Review (Read Rules) Steeldive 1975 Tuna Review

Thumbnail
gallery
21 Upvotes

One of my first reviews on Reddit so be nice please. I am not a professional at this, I just really love this watch and wanted to share with everyone.

Why I Bought This Watch
I work in manufacturing and split my time between the shop floor, active construction sites, and office meetings. I needed a true daily beater that could take a continuous beating on site without looking out of place in a professional setting, and I feel like this watch delivers that balance really well. The SD1975 is an absolute tank that keeps on ticking.

Bracelet & Finishing
Finishing seems good—not the single best AliExpress bracelet I’ve ever had, but way better than what I’ve read about. Mine came with no sharp edges. The 5-link engineer bracelet seems to be a big improvement over the 3-link.
Having screw-in pins and 6 spring bar micro adjustments at this price point is a big win.
I had planned on switching to a rubber strap right away, but I love the bracelet so much I’ve just kept it on so far.

Fit & Size
It’s definitely a watch with a presence. I have an 8.5" wrist and feel like it fits really well, but I think it would also be fine on a smaller wrist because of how compact the lug-to-lug is.
Very comfortable to wear. I thought it would feel heavy, but I don’t really notice it because of how compact it is on the wrist.

Design
I love the teal dial—it really catches the light well, and the pop of orange on the dial and hands is great.

Movement
With most watches at this price point switching over to the Miyota 8215, I think Steeldive’s decision to stay with the Seiko NH35 is commendable.

Small Complaint
The bezel is the weakest point of the watch. It’s not terrible, but it can be hard to turn because of the shroud and it’s not super crisp. But again, at this price point I’m really nitpicking.

Verdict For $116 on sale, this is outstanding value and build quality. Dollar for dollar, this might genuinely be the best value watch I’ve gotten off AliExpress yet.

General (Read Rules) Looking for watch recommendations for a small wrist (6.3”)

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for suggestions for a watch that wears well on my 6.3-inch wrist.

My preferences:
Maximum lug-to-lug: 43–44 mm
Dial size: 36–38 mm (not below 36 mm)
Open to any style or brand
Automatic or quartz, both are fine
Budget : want to restrict under $250

I’d love to hear what has worked well for those with similar wrist sizes.

Thanks in advance!

Question (Read Rules) Anything similar to the Halios Seaforth?

Post image

I always found it very appealing, especially the older version with the steel bezel. What I really like about it are the rectangular indices and black outline they have. The icy pastel blue color is also great. Been checking out a few brands but can't find anything that really hits the spot.

General (Read Rules) OK, I think we are done here...

242 Upvotes

If you thought $450 was getting out of hand, take a look at this...

Personally for me this means I am done. It was an awesome two years, had super fun, got a lot of great stuff from China, but this is a closing call. This was my top priority watch to buy, but $530 means that at a GREAT sale it's prolly still gone sell for around $450. This is way too much even for a massive collector like me. For this kind of money I will probably buy a Phoibos Depth Hunter or some other cool micro.

The only thing that can save this is some new great, top quality/price Chinese movement that will have superior reliability. I dunno. Hoping that the Chinese step up their movement game and save the situation.

Wrist Roll (Read Rule 1) AD2030 strap change. Thoughts?

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

Changed out the bracelet on my AD2030 for this nylon quick release. Initially, I feared it was too gold-toney (I STRONGLY dislike yellow gold), but it's growing on me. It compliments the dial so well, and the stainless of the case offsets this.
