Value for money
I don't normally write a review on something that I have bought, however I am going to make an exception because I absolute love this watch !.I must say I was concerned buying this watch, simply because of the price and the fact that it was labeled as frequently return product before I bought this watch.but I am extremely happy with the watch, the movement is extremely accurate, + 3 seconds per day, the watch has a very clean and professional look and on top of that it comfortable to wear

One of the best dive watches, but a very affordable price. Get yours!
Very well designed and built. Reminds me of a Rolex Submariner.

An attractive watch and a good price point
I thought this watch was an attractive watch at a great value. Its basically an off brand steel dive case with a NH35 movement (I assume, I haven't opened the case). The one I ordered is a 'smurf' style (blue dial, blue bezel, oyster type bracelet). The watch comes with an appropriate sized small snap plastic case with padding inside, a double ended combo tool for watch bands, and a very cheap press to remove a watch band pin (Its sufficient to adjust the watch band at least once but not much more). It came with a basic manual on the movement in multiple languages, and a green warranty card. It did not come with instructions on the band, and taking a link out, but a quick video search will show you how to do that. I didn't think to check before I started, so I originally tried to drive the band pins out backwards, but I got it done and sized for my wrist. Unless you have a monster wrist, you will probably have to take out one link, maybe two. My one real gripe and one star deduction is the magnification window on the date. I am not sure if it is overmagnified or undersized, or just distorted, but basically the watch has to be perfectly oriented to read the date correctly since if its not, the magnification is mostly just distortion. It happened to be on the 16th when received, but I believe it said it was the 6th, because the '1' is reasonably small and unless perfectly centered in your viewing you won't even see it. It would in fact be easier to read without the magnification window. But there is a magnification window on the name brand watches, so this one has to have one too. But since I paid $130 for the watch not 10k h I will ignore the date function. Is it really worth the 1 star deduction, logically no, its such a great value, but aesthetically, that distorted blob where the date is seen every time you look at the watch to check the time. Its rated for depths to 300 meters, which of course none of us are able to test since recreational limits are 40 meters. I'd say you probably be okay diving with it as it does have a screw down crown, but it is an inexpensive clone so its always a crap shoot. I usually dive internationally and don't take any jewelry with me on those dive trips, so I won't know till I do some US diving, and even then its been almost 25 years since i dove without a computer so the watch is more decoration for diving rather than an essential timekeeping piece for diving. I ran one of the free timing apps on my phone, and the watch showed as 2 seconds per day fast, (when fully manually wound) sitting upright. Which is certainly acceptable to me.

Quality defies cost...
I've been wearing an Invicta Pro Diver watch since I got one for a very low price during Prime Day last autumn. It is a very nice watch, even more so considering the sub-hundred dollar price. But like many (most) watch people, I'm always open to more purchases. Enter this Steeldive 1953.The minute that I opened the box I kept thinking, how can this cost so little? There is a quality that jumps out at you and I kept waiting for the revelation of where they cut corners to bring this in at a price point that is now being exceeded multiple times for some Timex watches. So far, I can't complain about anything again taking the cost into account.To anyone that may be going to YouTube to check out reviews for this watch, therehas apparently been an upgrade in the bracelet which has been one negative point in many of those reviews. The bracelet that came on my watch does not have any slop or looseness in the links and the clasp has been upgraded too. There are 6 micro adjustments that give way more precision to size it after removing links. FWIW, I have a 6 1/2 inch wrist and I removed 4 links, which gave me a perfect fit. My watch came with a pin removal tool, a cheap one, but it worked fine.After I sized my bracelet, set the day and date and put this watch on my wrist, I put my Invicta away... it's not in the same league. I still don't know how Steeldive does it, but I'm glad that I discovered this watch.

Used And Abused…that’s how it arrived.
The media could not be loaded. I was extremely excited to receive this watch. I purchased it with hopes that it would arrive in time for some travels abroad. This watch arrived late. (That was okay as it would still arrive before I had to leave)I finally received the watch. Very excited….I opened the packaging and knew instantly something was off. I opened the box and the suspicion was proven correct. This watch was not only previously owned….but definitely mistreated.I received a watch that was full of moisture. So bad that there was a large amount of water condensing on the inside of the sapphire crystal. On further inspection….the bracelet was re-sized and missing end links! The clasp was scratched and beaten pretty badly. And wasn’t properly attached to the the bracelet either.Needless to say I won’t be taking this on my trip with me. And the replacement won’t arrive in time. Be careful out there. People selling destroyed watches as new!I want to love this watch and Steeldive as a whole. I hope this is just an Amazon fault and not a reflection of Steeldive.

Looks like a $10k watch, almost
Really great for the price, and a very honorable Rolex Sub style watch…Time so far feels accurate. The bracelet, like others say is not that great - it has a lot of rattle. I replaced it with the Juntan Stainless Steel Watch Band also on Amazon that elevated the fit more with an on the fly adjustment. My only other complaint is that everything with lume (hands, indices, numbers on bezel) have a yellow/green tint to them, instead of more white. I recommend the green bezel version as such so it's less noticeable vs. the black bezel option.
