This is the best watch from Cronos imo. Got the pepsi one for $185 incl shipping from the last November sale, couldn't be more happy with the quality of the product. I have other chinese brands (San Martin, Steeldive etc) watches but this is the one that gets the most wrist time.
Thank you for this review. This is always one of those watches I think about picking up when a major sale comes around but haven’t gotten the courage up to pull the trigger. Sorry it didn’t live up to the billing, but thank you for saving me the expense! Of note, the clasp does have micro adjust; it’s the little indents on the inside of the clasp. But they are hard to access and I think you can only get to the springbar when the link adjustment/extension is out.
Glad it was helpful! Now that you mention it, it does look like there are 3 indents inside the clasp. It's also very hard to access like you said. I don't know why they decided it was a good idea to go with this clasp, instead of the one they use for their sub homage 🤔.
@@chriskelly509 Well I’ve had it for almost a year and it’s part of my regular rotation. The bracelet and clasp feel awesome, I could close my eyes and not know the difference in feel between this and the Rolex. The fully loomed bezel and dial is outstanding too, very bright. Only complaint I have it’s the date takes 45-50 mins to change meaning it starts to slowly roll at 11pm rather than just switch quickly right before midnight. The date window cyclobs is another big plus and it’s actually way better than more high end Swiss brands like Steinhart or Gevril. I would definitely pick one of these up. Hope this info helps you out.
I'm torn between this and the Sugess GMT with thwir darker blue and red bezel. Do you think this is better? How's the rehaut? I don't like the San Martin's rehaut that is thick and makes the dial look deep. I appreciate your thoughts. Thank you😊
I don't have the Sugess or San Martin GMT so can't comment on that unfortunately. The rehaut is okay, not too deep but not too thin either. It is thinner than the Pagani Design however.
I have a dark Pepsi cronos and a pagani batman with nh34. The cronos is way better than the pagani, it's a HUGE improvement. The paganis lume is terrible, and the rehaut is so deep, and the bezel action is not great. Cronos just gets it done better in every category. To me the pagani just feels cheap, and the cronos feels like a solid premium watch. I got my cronos for about $175 usd during a sale
I loved mine until the glass shattered and ruined the watch . I have never had a crystal explode like this one. I love it so much. I'm thinking of buying another one but I will have the crystal replaced
@@watchcrave I really don't think it was a sapphire crystal. They say it is but I have my doubts. I do lots of manual labor and have banged a lot of watches. I have never had a problem until this one and I rotate between 10 watches and treat them rough. Who knows?
@@JohnnyDouchbag-nr5yf sapphire crystals are more prone to shatter, since this is a harder material than typical mineral glasses. Harder materials tend to be more brittle.
@@halua1969 Yes that's why the Omega Speedmaster Pro that went to space used hesalite mineral and not sapphire. It scratches more easily, but is harder to shatter because it is less brittle.
That’s one of the better GMT master 2 homages I’ve seen. Good review. 👍🏻
Thank you 😊.

That’s awesome! I’m gonna wait for the sale then.
I'm torn between this one and the steeldive, which is better and why?

Micro adjust on the inside of clasp... just like the Rolex. Also has the sweaty day flip lock extention. Cronos doesnt disappoint.
It’s an awesome watch, it’s on my wrist rotation regularly.
I was thinking about this one or going with a steeldive version,can you tell me anything about this version?

Cronos clasps need serious sanding and finishing. So many very shadp edges! Bracelet and head are great quality tho

Sorry to hear about that. I imagine it must have been a pretty significant impact to shatter a sapphire crystal.

The steeldive sd1993 is half the price and looks almost the same...
