I just can't figure out the price for this watch. Seems at least £1000 too much.
I think the name is actually meant to be pronounced “Aqua” (which means water) but the spelling with the V comes from long long time ago when it used to be spelled “Aqva”. It has to be because aqva doesn’t have a meaning otherwise. This is just my thoughts, maybe I’m right 😊
It looks like you have thick wrists - what is your wrist size? (cm or inch fine) thx
@@malthus101 17.7cm
on the back side Japan is not written in the original?
👀
What is your wrist measurement please? Also with the buckle and tang hydroflex what hole do you use? Same question with the deployant style clasp, what hole? Thanks
@@ASB88 I’m 17.7cm and with tang on the Helm 3rd from the top is tight 4th is a loose fit. With deployant the 4th from top is a perfect fit. (top meaning counting from the watch head side)
@@watchgambit thanks for the info 👍🏼
Make a 36….and I’ll buy it tomorrow!!
Did Artem give you these straps? For free? This was essentially an advert. Not a review.
@@drdesign6886 all comments welcome allthough I may not agree. Nobody can buy or alter my opinions.
@@watchgambit may not agree with what? You don’t answer the question - did you pay full retail for these straps or did Artem send them too you for free? It’s a simple and honest query.
@@drdesign6886 I do apologise I did not register that as a question. I did state on the video that we have a collab and I did receive the straps foc but paid the vat at border. I have prebioudly also bought Artem products. The video explains availability, tech. features and my user experience like any other review. It is overall positive because I do like what they do and it has little to do with said collab.
@@watchgambit so it’s sponsored content. You need to add the sponsored tag to your video. These are expensive straps and clasps - that high value is in effect a payment. And it undoubtedly impacts your review - so tell your audience that. I’ve purchased an Artem strap myself - it’s fine not great - it’s worth about a quarter what they charge at best. Had I got it free I’d be grand with it though.
@@drdesign6886 thanks for your active input. I come from a culture where people can constructively disagree 🙂
What size wrist are you??
@@Outdoorlander 17,7cm
Не плохие , но на АлиЭкспресс можно не хуже купить в 20 раз дешевле....
They are not pandering to the watch community . they mean business. there are very harsh conditions in the north sea. it is a mans watch and 1000s of pounds cheaper than the overpriced Swiss offerings and its powered by a seiko movement, what more could you want!
Actually only made 35 of your version and 15 of the black version I have. Nice video.
Great video. Thank you for the comprehensive review. Are you sure about those dimensions? I believe the lug width is 22mm, no?
@@SlapShotRegatta22 thanks buddy. You’ re right about the lugs - 22mm
It was a perfect fit in my opinion. What is your wrist diameter?
Just a matter of taste mate. I like it a tiny bit bigger… and 17,7cm
I got this Offshore 500 Professional watch from an actual professional diver living in East Scotland. I had to cut off the extra length of the band, because this rubber strap can only be used wearing a wet suit. This makes it my only REAL dive watch. After 10 years of watch collecting and over a 100 watches in my collection, this Offshore 500 ended up to be my most worn watch for daily use. It still looks exactly like I bought it brandnew, 5 years ago. No scratches, no wear and tear. I replaced the strap, after 5 years, but that is all. I replaced it for a rubber strap that was on my Samsung Gear S3 Frontier. This watch is the real deal. I do diving in salt water, chlorine water, hot showers, hiking in a rainy forest, on the beach in the sand, everything that can ruin your expensive watch. The lume lasts all night and the accuracy of this watch is +8 seconds a month. Highly recommended.
@@renebense so happy to hear stories like this. Wear it in good health mate 😃👍
I found out, that 100% moisturised air can penetrate a watch much easier than actual water. So extensive sweating, especially when the watch is covered by a sleeve for example, gives a pocket of 100% saturated air surrounding the watch. Walk in the rain in a forest for hours and find out your watch has condensation on the inside of the glass. You don't have to dive into the ocean, to get water inside your watch. A water tight watch is not an airtight watch. Nobody seems to test this. Start to workout in the gym. You start sweating. Under the watch is sweat and air. You don't dive, but the effect on the watch is cruel.
@@renebense I suspect you have a sealing problem there mate and should have it checked
you can order bracelets and other parts directly from citizen, you don't have to buy 2 watches.
@@lulul known fact but when I checked I can almost get a second hand full watch at the price of a spare new bracelet 😓😅
Top tier SLA 62 mas , it doesn’t get any better than the SBDX041!The colour matched date wheel is just beautiful. It is one of my grail Seiko divers, i will definitely be buying one in a few years time , no matter the price.
@@siddhant46s54 my thoughts exactly bro. Top 62MAS 😍
Beautiful watch. Field watches are the best category of watches for me.
@@user-iz9co4qf6z this top of the line field for sure
Yeah I love this watch, especially in 40mm , I have the Hamilton khaki field automatic in 42mm and 38mm very nice but, 40 mm is the sweet spot 👍🏻😊
@@marcdee4427 many people like 39-40. In some watches I can take it too but its a fine line to walk 😄
Please add right channel audio. I thought my headphone was broken. Only left channel has sound.
Please speak louder,Bearley hear able.
Thanks for the review of a fun watch brand. Love the urban teal model.
Thanks for watching 🙏
Very nice collection. Thanks for sharing it with us! Cheers from Atlantic Canada!!!
Cheers Canada. What is you favourite canadian brand?
@@watchgambit VanBanner, Whitby, Cannister are a few in my price range.
Your Spork just went up for auction on eBay! Complete bracelet 🤤🤤🤤🤤..
I put an uncle Seiko bracelet on my King Samurai and it’s never coming off.. great dial for my aging eyes!
Uncles are great.
Solid collection!
Thanks buddy 👊😎
May I ask you which one do you prefer? And why? Just struggling to decide for myself, considering I did not watch from real. Thanks a lot.
In all honesty it is a tough choice. Comes down to taste really so I’d go for the piercing blue dial and grade 5 almost indestuctible case.
I only go to mamacoo to buy a mirror copy watch!
I gotta get me this one. I like the neon green and the meteor. Probably going green cuz 800 is totally worth it but 500 is more my budget
Oh the meteor look spectacular mate.
You have managed to one up the 017! Now you must acquire an 025 or 039.
Both great watches. I’ve had the 025 and it didn’t wear well on my bony wrist. I’ll pull a Spork if I can find a mint one but other than that I’m propably retired… meanwhile my other side of brain says … mmmm Omiwatari… 😅
@@watchgambit A mint Spork is probably the grail of most Seiko collectors.. the chase is on!..
Damn one more competitor 😅
@@watchgambitwell I’m sidelined for a bit.. waiting on my black/black SLA061 Uemura to arrive .. gotta give the wife a break 🥵..
Sweet piece that 61
great inspiration.
Cool pieces that stand out different
Great watch
Bang for the buck for sure. I wish the black was available with metal too
That 051 tho
I know right👊 one of my faws too
I know right👊 one of my faws too

can you review the Ahjo?
Sorry but I don’t have it 😢
A real stunner 💕
Thanks mate 😎👍
@@watchgambit I bought mine today 😎
@@AndySmith4501 Congrats 😀👊
Stunning is the correct word for sure
beutiful watch👌
Thanks, I agree 😀
I like this one better than the GS divers. It wears more compact, the bezel insert is ceramic (for some strange reason GS divers have less durable PVD coated bezels), and the bracelet/clasp is easier to stomach at this price point.
All good points. What’s your stance on Stainless vs. Titanium?
@@watchgambit I prefer the appearance, feel, and durability of steel. I'm not a fan of titanium watches.
This is my dream watch. But I can't afford it :(
Second hand?
How do you compare it to the mm300?
Hi. Lighter, higher, better finish and obviously the spring drive magic versus the pretty good 8L I have in my SLA. I’ll put it this way that I wouldn’t mind selling my MM300 but the SNR is mine forever
@watchgambit stoked to hear, this will be my next timepiece. Edit: these are a man's man's watch. They're meant to look big and badass and also be legible and badass. I'm really excited. I recently bought a Seiko srq029 automatic speedtimer and it's 16mm too (but 2mm is the sapphire crystal, which is beautiful), so I kind of know 16mm size isn't as big as people want to talk sh*te about it. They'd for sure buy one if they could afford it, but the high-end seikos like the lx line seems so out of grasp for 95% of people's budget. So they hate on it and claim they'd rather have a GS or whatever 🙄. I'm not dismissing their opinion on that these are big watches, they are, but thats the point of the design. Having the highest end Seiko is cool in of itself, a spring drive... I'm buying what I like, not what other people like haha. The omega planet ocean is bigger at 16mm+ and a lot of people seem to absolutely love those. Yours is so nice dude! I'm blown away by how good it looks, pictures do not do justice. Great video 😊
@@WristWatcher I’m with you mate. Buy what you like. I had a SRQ029 too. What a gem of a watch and a column wheel chrono at that price #mindblown
nice find dude, and yes as soon as I saw it i thought of the other brands you mentioned later on, possibly a generic make that you can then make your own, looks like the 500m is the better of the two and looks like it'll survive a few dings!!
Thanks mate. Pretty cool though right 😎 Both feel quite solid pieces
@@watchgambit price is good also :)
Nice review. Can you tell if the date complication was removed from the sw200 or is it still present? The crown has two positions or just one for time setting?
Thanks for the question. Ghost date is removed.
Both bezels are stainless PVD coated this is stated on the website, the sound difference is because of the case, this is exactly why the titanium bracelet rattles higher pitched than a stainless, this always the case with titanium watches over stainless etc Titanium and Steel resonance tests are very available online Your review is lazy, slow in pace compared to the other Helm reviews on YT A review where you already decided you dont like the Ti watch so lost interest but still made the video, thats the impression it gives off.
Thanks for the review 😄👊
@@watchgambit It is an honest and accurate description about your review, others have commented on the negative aspects of your review also. Hope it helps your channel
Nice watch, but can't hear a word you are saying.
Turn up the volume Sir 😊 thanks for watching
Nice wrist check but on a bund? 😬 I don't know if I would have put it on a bund. I own that same Helson, and it has been maligned as more of a Clomage than a Homage by some, but they can go kick rocks as far as I'm concerned. It's a well made awesome homage to a watch that is no longer available.
Well said mate. The bund was a bit of trolling to be honest 😅 Its back on the boring black nato already
Love it gambit. Nano universe is Saluted but not on a bund! Jesus Christ bro! Nadgarstek is overwhelmed. Max respect as always.
It wasn’t on a bund for long I give you that 😅👊
HI, is the bezel ceramic or steel?
I don’t know. You can ask them at hello@henryarcher.com
Nice collection 👌🏼
Cheers mate 👊😊
That bezel ruins the watch. Looks so cheap.
Maybe the original 70’s diver heritage limited the design? It would be so good with ceramic though I agree
"Waaaa... it's not ceramic. Waaaaa." Go get a ceramic sub homage if you want wrist jewelry. This watch is a real diver; and real tool divers use aluminum and steel inserts, not brittle ceramic or sapphire.
