ADDIESDIVE MY-H8 waffle

After watching reviews going back 5 years on YouTube and seeing that they use a Seiko movement, NH-35a. I got one and Addies watches are well made and there take on the captain Willard 6105 or Seiko Tuttle watch is a great homage to the Tuttle style. The watch runs well no issues and fits great after sizing the band. Over all great workmanship for the price point. And just a side note to all who see videos that speak of the captain Willard, you should know the larger Seiko Tuttle watches are the Seiko king diver watches and are larger the kings run about $1500.00 dollars unlike the others Seiko Tuttles that are $400 just so you know if the others making videos don't.. lol

What a nice willard clone, item arrived in a black plastic box, no pillow or padding but wrapped in heavy plastic wrap for protection. The strap is adiquite push pin style. Its deffinatly not oyster quality but its better than the tin casio straps. For a 100 bucks with a engraved rear case cover and a saphire crystal and a nh35a movement, super brite lume, its a no brainer. The watch was functioning out of the box, wearability is substantial, Very easy to use and set if your familar with the nh35a, Willard , are you stunned? Update,.... After a month of daily wear the movement keeps good time, the case although resembles a willard is not. These clone cases seem to be proprietary, meaning a stock seiko strap for the 1970 willard or new aftermarket with solid end links will not work. You are basicaly stuck with the original strap or a nato or straight end links. Or mod a pair of end links to custom fit. Overall still a very piece at a great price. Like others have said, you could not build it yourself for this price point. Are you still stunned Willard?

Outstanding watch. On par with Seiko SPB151J1 for 1/15th the price. Nothing about the watch feels cheap. Lume is outstanding. Bezel is perfect (tight but smooth). Appears to be very accurate. Ask AI about NH35 vs 4R35, IDENTICAL, both made by Seiko. The SPB151J1 has a 6R35 movement which only means if you don't wear the watch for three days vs two days on 4R35/NH35, it will hold power. You would pay more in taxes on the Seiko SPB151J1 than you would for this watch. I am very impressed. I bought a Bison Straps 20 mm nylon and modified my Seiko DAL1BP to fit the 20 mm lug width on the Addiesdive. After realizing watch ran ~10 seconds slow after a few days, I set the watch ~10 seconds fast four days ago. Now it is perfectly synced with official time. This watch rules. Will buy AD2081 within next few weeks. 🤙🤙

Outside of a watch telling time and telling me at a minimum the date, I don't know much about watches. I have had several over the years and even a Rolex because I thought it was cool to have a very expensive watch. Now in hindsight, an absolute waste of money, the Rolex that is. This unit has an excellent, perfectly aligned bezel that is also snug when rotating. Some have described it as being hard to turn and I disagree. It is not loose at all. Zero wobble. Zero play left or right. It feels smooth when rotating. The crystal is flat but raised a bit. The bezel insert is ceramic and simply looks immaculate. The crown, though I wish were a bit larger, it is HEAVILY guarded by beefy crown guards. The crown is perfectly centered. The underside has been described as being a bit abrasive and I have to agree but I DO NOT feel it affecting my wrist whatsoever. The case is, like the rest of the watch, simply beautiful. Polished on the sides, and where the strap connects, but the top left and right are brushed. Beautiful. It is so far in 5 hours slower by 2 seconds. The lume is stunning. Super bright. Does it last a long time? No. But to me it does not matter because of ALL the other incredible things about the watch. The strap starts out thick at the lugs, but thins out at the ends. It is comfortable, but maybe in time I will get something more substantial, and a strap that does not taper. Once seated on the wrist, the watch barely moves but be aware that it has weight. I personally cannot imagine using this watch with a metal bracelet. For me it would be too heavy. All things considered, for 100 bucks, I am astonished at the quality of this watch. Absolutely amazed at how so much more incredibly expensive it looks, feels, and functions.

Good cosmetic quality. I find it's case and 20mm band a bit small for my 8" wrist. Unfortunately, it is running -36sec/day, which is disappointing, as many of my Chinese-made divers with the 34H movement are factory regulated at +/- 5sec/day. I'll have to use the Timegrapher App and regulate it myself, thus, the 4 Star rating. Go with a bigger Grand Turtle with day/date if you want a larger case and 22mm lug. Nice watch Addiesdive, keep up the great work!

I purchased this Willard homage diver by Addiesdive to take over for my Orient Mako I dive watch 2013 vintage that recently had the dial face come loose. I have had this Willard watch on my list for some time now. I am pleasantly surprised with the features that my Orient does not have. Full winding and hacking, saphire crystal, ceramic bezel face, fit and finish is just outstanding on this watch. NH35A movement so far I have observed +4 seconds in a 24 hour period, I'm impressed! This is a fantastic no frills solid performing great looking watch. Well worth the price.

Incredible value for the money! I have lots of watches and this watch is REALLY worth the little over $100 I spent on it. It looks way more expensive, the lume is very bright compared to watches I have that cost much more. Feels substantial on the wrist, I have skinnier wrists and it was very easy to adjust the band to fit, I appreciated the micro adjustment that made it perfect. I'm going to buy more of these for gifts this holiday season along with a few bottles of Armaf Precieux which is a banger of a scent!! For about $150 for the watch and the fragrance? Really classy gift for any Man. My Son will love them!

Great entry level diver to use for your daily. I've taken this thing to the beach, out in the woods, and to the gym, and it's held up to everything. Durable and accurate. Beautiful watch, and amazing quality at this price point.
