I bought an Addiesdive version of a Rolex explorer and was blown away by the look. It was gorgeous. And I loved the Seiko movement. It is graceful but still doesn’t require setting. I wish more luxury brands would use movements like that. It’s nice to have a watch that I don’t have to worry about setting. The thought of insisting on spending another $10,000 to buy an actual Explorer seemed crazy to me, and to a great extent it still does. But after trying to wear it, I realized I couldn’t use it and sold it on eBay. The case back has an engraved logo on it, and the finishing is so bad that it has the consistency of sandpaper. If I wore it for any length of time it irritated my skin, and I’m not particularly sensitive. Such a weird design choice. The engraved logo is totally unnecessary.
That's a good point I have had similar problems with other watches in the past. I left the sticker on the back of this one but sometimes that can be irritating in of itself. Whatever happened to plain case backs?
I have this watch but also a Rolex Oyster perpetual 36mm, but on certain days I enjoy the Addiesdive just as much as the Rolex!
That's really cool. It's a fun watch for sure!

im interested in this watch but the brand name is too goofy i couldnt bring myself to buy it XD
I have to agree. It isn’t even a dive watch!
Ask them to make it without the words
I’ll start a petition haha
The brand and branding kill this watch for me
Yeah it’s pretty goofy I can’t lie
