This is really well done. First Aragon I've ever seen that I seriously consider buying. A 13mm thick, 500M diver is some impressive engineering and manufacturing.
Early in my watch collecting, Aragon was my "go to". I'm thrilled they have 40 & 42mm pieces now. If they would move that date window to 6 o'clock, they would still be very hard to resist. Thanks for showing Aragon on your channel.
I wore a seiko turtle 45mm for about 25 yrs loved the style and size of the watch more recently I wanted a similar watch just a bit larger and I found the aragon watches and I now have 2 of them both in 50mm and I love them
I Love Aragon, I have 6 and I cant fault them. Excellent attention to detail, engineering, finishing with cool design. If you've not tried an Aragon, give them a go. Oh aye, customer service is fantastic.
I can fault them. Close inspection shows that the actual finishing isn't that great. They're a bit on the industrial side and as somebody mentioned in one of the videos I watched about another model, some of the edges can be quite sharp and if you look closer under the clasp, between the links and so on, the finishing is a little on the rough side. I bought this model in blue and the helium valve is placed so low, the bottom edge of it actually drops off the case and is shaved off as a result. I think for most other brands would consider that a reject. It's a bit frustrating given that it's something I'll never need (I can't even swim let alone dive), and since I'm UK based it would cost too much to return it. But to be honest I wouldn't bother. Why? Because it's definitely worth the money. It feels totally robust and solid and it's well worth what I paid for it even with the extra customs charges, but if I was paying much more I would like the finishing to be improved. Maybe that's the point, churn them out and sell them cheap without too much attention to the finer details but I do think people need to know and not set their expectations too high if they want a higher quality. The reality is that you can buy something like a Citizen or Seiko for similar money with better finishing.
@@TheCoolistic Yes I have to agree with that. "Industrial" probably sums it up perfectly, they do give the impression they've just come off the college lathe if you look too closely, but if you can see past that you do get a lot of watch for the money. But I agree, you can get better finishing at a similar price point.
I've been wearing my DF40 (white dial like in your review) every day for a couple months now and am very happy with it. Solid build quality and for $185 plus $12 shipping, well worth it. Excellent review!
Dave I’ve got 3 Aragon watches, including the yellow dial model you showed in your thumbnail. The lume on that one is insane!🤩 A very underrated watch brand & good value.👍🏼
Love the bezel - if I hadn't just bought a yellow dial diver- after stopping buying more divers - I would have been tempted as I think its great in yellow
I own an android (former name of the brand) and an Aragon. The android is a huge field style and the aragon I have is thick and heavy but I still enjoy it. I’m elated that the DM40 exists even though my wallet may not be.
Fantastic. I'm not a collector, I buy a new watch every few years or so and I've recently just bought a new Boldr but I have to have one of these. I absolutely love that engraved style and it's rare to find them at all. I don't understand why every dive watch on the market is just another "me too" dive watch, for that reason I'm not a fan of the style but that bezel really pops and it looks like a far more expensive watch than it actually is. Just hoping they have stock and it's not a limited run.
Thinking that if they eliminated the helium escape valve and used the money saved to improve the lume they’d have an amazing watch at that price point!
Been around for 30 years or so started as Android. Located in Florida. Great value, and customer service. I like that Wing is making smaller sizes. Never heard anyone pronounce them "Are" agon.
Aragon has always offered something unique. Their new stuff is getting broader appeal with the smaller size, but lume has always been an area for improvement with them. I have watches from Wing that date back to when the company was called Android, always something different. Good review, nice to see them getting some airtime.
Great find! The design & proportions stand out like some of the great established brands. I enjoyed realizing that your technical background is a clothes-washer. Your videos always look and sound great.
40mm! I'm shocked! My complaint with this brand has always been the size of their watches. They are ridiculously large! I'm glad to see they are making normal size watches now.
Your opening overview of the current market is spot on. Aragon does seem to have some nice, original options out there. Thanks for sharing this one Dave!
You're right, quite a few of their watches are huge (50mm) but I have 10 of their smaller (40-44mm) watches and they are very well built. I'd much rather have an Aragon watch on my wrist than a San Martin watch.
I have come to a point where I only buy Aragon. So much value, quality, uniqueness, and a brand made outside of the PROC and headquartered in the USA. They have a couple dress lines but are mostly divers. I hope they start producing more dress watches. I don't know why they don't get the press that many other microbrands will get. I am extremely satisfied and have yet to regret a purchase.
Glad to see that Aragon is offering more watches in smaller sizes. I particularly like this design and it's hard to argue with the price. Love to see an orange dial in this series. :)
They are totally American sized and over built. I have a 50mm divemaster with a white fully lumed "bgw9" dial. Pepsi bezel. Blue hands and red seconds. Exactly the same lume performance. My large American watch. I appreciate master wing way of design. Millipede and Hydraumatic bracelets shows how amazing this mans talents are. Not to mention various other styles of watch that have wings styles. You have to have one to understand. Thank you for another great review.
Wing’s more subdued designs are not bad. I have an Evo 4, which is a tank of a watch. On the bracelet the thing weighs over a half pound and is 16mm tall and 45mm wide. Nice black IP finish on the case and a lumed dial. It is solidly built, and not wanting in the quality department, especially at the price. Not a brand for everyone, for sure, but one that deserves a bit more respect in the watch community.
I have the EVO 40 in black which came out around Christmas. It’s got unique design cues while still being able to fly under the radar. It can dress up or get drug through the mud. Strap monster. It’s my daily and I love that it looks nice but I don’t have to baby it one iota.
My favorite is their Divemaster 42mm (sapphire crystal, ceramic bezel, SEIKO SII nh36 automatic movement) Have the blue dial one. This is another nice one. If they did more in the 40-42mm range I would own more.
I enjoy the exposure to watches like this. It has probably been more than a year since I've bought a new watch. The watches I want are too expensive and too similar to what I already own. I need something affordable and original without being tacky.
Aragon make excellent watches at brilliant prices. I have the Swiss version Divemaster 42mm however......... ALL THE OTHER WATCHES WERE ENORMOUS! Invicta sized.
@@leadreviewer3257 I typically wear a backup watch to my dive computer - I'm a commercial diver and use the watch for it's supposed intended purpose. Unnecessary bulk and overstyled watches make no sense for me.
I guess the trick is to mass make them. thus, lowering the value. You can build this watch with 140usd. (yes, 300m with helium valve) but not with the details on the bracelet and clasp which is just absolutly gorgeous. I would say that either they are cutting margins big time (dont really think so) or they really have good suppliers. Thanks for showcasing this one. Really nice.
I really like the engraving on the bezel and bracelet as well as the case design. I just don't need another diver, despite the fact I think I prefer this one to most of my other dive watches that cost more.
Can't help but compare it with the Erebus Origin which has the same NH35, now relaunched in a 38.5 mm version. That looks cool, but this seems so much better value.
Great review thanks! I'm a fan of Aragon. Aragon prices their new releases at a heavy discount off the list price. The price increases after the initial launch. They do have sales. I collect them because they use an interesting range of movements and materials. My most recent acquisition from Aragon is a stunning titanium case and bracelet 300 meter diver which I think cost about $250: with a 28000 bit high beat Miyota movement. I didn't buy them until they started making 40 mm and 42 mm cases. I agree that their lume is below average but I don't obsess over lume.
Very cool. I hope they continue to make smaller watches because there are several of their watches I would consider if they were not so large. Thanks for the great review!

One thing you didn't mention about the bracelet is that all three links are articulated and independent of each other.

However, as I mentioned in my own review of my first Aragon, this claim is difficult to prove, because, while there is an exhibition case back on most of Wing's watches, the rotor's model number inscription is covered by Aragon's own blue label. I think it is a sticker, btw and not some IP treatment, but I haven't verified it, since I do not want to open watches that are under warranty. I have no reason to disbelieve the claim, other than the fact that the one place on the movement that indicates whether the movement is TMI or SII is covered, so...

Aragon is hard to beat when it comes to quality vs price. I’ve had a few over the years and they were fantastic. Luckily I have an 8” wrist so the 45mm offerings always wear how I imagine a 40mm wears on an 7” wrist. If they start pumping out 42mm watch’s my bank account will be toast.
I purchased an aragon rotating dial millipede watch for around €200 and was charged €50 for delivery. The delivery company was FedeX who then charged me €55 import duty. I challenged this but FedeX insisted that if I didn't pay it I wouldn't get the watch. Of course I paid it but as long as Aragon use FedeX as their courier they won't see another sale from me.
Not sure it was deliberate, but bracelet looks exactly like Defy Classic line from Zentih of around 2010, when Thierry Nataff was CEO and chief designer.
Great video as always. I just noticed and now cannot unnotice the pop after every audio cut that you make. This can be fixed by adding a tiny fade between each cut.
they should either ibcrease the price slightly or drop something like that unneeded WR rating for better loom on the watch IMO. Good loom will sell more watches then a 500m WR IMO. Heck drop the display case back. That would make the watch thinner as well as money that could b spent on loom. That would be awesome IMO.
I’ve overlooked this brand because most watches from them are just too large for me but this thing seems like a spec Beast but with a manageable and wearable size and a price point that really makes the brand stand alone. 👍🏻
Spec beast ? Dude...don't waste your money it's a disposable watch. Spend your money wisely get a swiss movement and then it will be accurate at least and serviceable. These are a joke.
@@Mile-long-list You're not servicing ETAs or Sellitas. Anything that would require servicing would run you $3000 and upwards brand new. This is a $185 watch guaranteed to run 10 years at least and at which point you can opt to drop in another NH35 into it.
The fully lumed dial was totally unnecessary, same w/the rotor; and they could've used a matching oblong / tic-tac shaped day window, to match the rest of the dial. But overall it's really really good, the bracelet engraving is unique, so maybe the best in this category & price.
Looks like a great value watch, but they need to do something about their branding. I think the ‘Aragon’ at the 12:00 looks terrible. They need a well thought out logi
Thanks for the recommendation. Checked their website. Beautiful watches. But large for my 7-inch wrist. I wish they made models of less than 40 mm dia. Hopefully they will in the future.
Interesting watch and for sure a value. The last time I saw the knurling like that was on an Olympic watch dive watch from maybe the 1990s. Olympic Swiss is, I think, a NZ only brand making watches with Rhonda movements, hence the Swiss. They are still going I see with prices even cheaper than Aragon, but all quartz. A big shame that the full lume dial isn't just a bit better. That whole dial glow is something else. I still have Seiko & Citizen dive watchs from last century with full lume dials that bring joy.
Looks decent enough, though I did notice a couple of marks on the end-links, so either the QC or finishing is a tad lacking, or the materials used seem to be softer than ideal. Not a bad looking watch though.
Wow, i srcolled therir catalogue and i admit: really nice watches für a bargain. BUT: As a Typographer i can't unsee the horrible kerning in the logo. It's dreadful.
Thanks, I was eyeing up this exact model a while back thinking how good it looked. Bezel looked a little Yacht Master imo which I appreciate. It seems great and reasonably priced which is getting rarer nowadays. Only negative would be to reduce the logo width and not make it all italic. If he did that and added a little more lume it would be a winning design
Not having a European VAT tax means it's a no go for most European customers. I wanted to order one but no thanks, it will costs me at least twice the price
I'm far from a dive watch fan but I really like this. I'd be a lot more likely to purchase if it were a useful GMT rather than a basically useless diver.
Wing's philosophy seems to be all about WRIST PRESENCE. He designs cool bracelets, but the watches are usually a bit too much for me. I go for sub- 40mm watches. This one is cool - $200 seems just about right.
This is really well done. First Aragon I've ever seen that I seriously consider buying. A 13mm thick, 500M diver is some impressive engineering and manufacturing.

Interesting watch and for sure a value. The last time I saw the knurling like that was on an Olympic watch dive watch from maybe the 1990s. Olympic Swiss is, I think, a NZ only brand making watches with Rhonda movements, hence the Swiss. They are still going I see with prices even cheaper than Aragon, but all quartz.
A big shame that the full lume dial isn't just a bit better. That whole dial glow is something else. I still have Seiko & Citizen dive watchs from last century with full lume dials that bring joy.
Have you reviewed Islander Watches?
Not yet but I really want to! Just need to clear my schedule a bit!
I like wings watches but they are just huge on my 6in wrist
Badass!
They’d have a buyer if they offered a 38mm but they don’t make anything under 40mm. Too bad.
Looks decent enough, though I did notice a couple of marks on the end-links, so either the QC or finishing is a tad lacking, or the materials used seem to be softer than ideal. Not a bad looking watch though.
Good looking watch
I have this watch, looks great, feels great on the wrist but keeps time horribly
Wow, i srcolled therir catalogue and i admit: really nice watches für a bargain. BUT: As a Typographer i can't unsee the horrible kerning in the logo. It's dreadful.
Thanks, I was eyeing up this exact model a while back thinking how good it looked. Bezel looked a little Yacht Master imo which I appreciate. It seems great and reasonably priced which is getting rarer nowadays.
Only negative would be to reduce the logo width and not make it all italic. If he did that and added a little more lume it would be a winning design
No date would've been fantastic on this one. Or at least move it to the 6 o'clock position.
Do they ship to the philippines?
I really like this watch, but that logo is way to ugly to be printed that big on a dial.
I, and I guess others, highly await the day they make a sub 40 mm watch. A 38x44 (L2L) would be super!
Wing from Android fame ?
No mention of the movement?

I like it!
Is it just me or is the website flipping awful..
I just want to look at the bloody watches on my mobile phone..
Not having a European VAT tax means it's a no go for most European customers. I wanted to order one but no thanks, it will costs me at least twice the price
Exactly what I was thinking, It's a shame because It kills its value for money proposition.
Got to agree - from the UK its around £225 to have it delivered. Still not bad for the specs, but no longer an amazing deal either.
I'm far from a dive watch fan but I really like this.
I'd be a lot more likely to purchase if it were a useful GMT rather than a basically useless diver.
They also make a 40mm dive style GMT called the 'DM 40 GMT' this may be more useful to you
@@watch-box nice one, I'll keep an eye out 👨🏻🦲👍🏻
Wing's philosophy seems to be all about WRIST PRESENCE.
He designs cool bracelets, but the watches are usually a bit too much for me. I go for sub- 40mm watches. This one is cool - $200 seems just about right.
Unbeatable at 165 of course you ditch the bracelet for fitted black rubber
But it's small , case diameter is small ...
And why tf do you need 500m resistance for? Heck cant even do shit with 300m lol
