RATIO FreeDiver Helium-Safe Dive Watch Sapphire Crystal Automatic Diver Watch 1000M Water Resistant Diving Watch for Men (White)

Ratio's are excellent watches and a great value for the price. It's an automatic watch (i.e. all mechanical, no battery) and it keeps excellent time. The lume is as good as my Seiko's and Citizens. One thing to note, however...the pictures of this watch shows a Ver. 2 of this watch, and the model number is for a Ver. 2. However, I don't believe this is what I received. I believe I got a Ver. 1. It's the same size, same movement, but the main difference is the Ver. 1 has an oyster red dial, and the Ver. 2 has a flat maroon dial (pictured). I would have much preferred the flat colored dial over the oyster version (very much preferred). I took one star off an otherwise 5 star watch for this. I don't like misrepresentation. This was a hard review for me to write because I love these Ratio watches, but the dial is represented in all the pictures as flat (not shiny), and the dial I received was oyster (shiny). It's a real dive watch though, so I'm keeping it. Oh, and the strap is a nice flexible silicone, but I switched it out to a nicer velcro strap with reflective badges on it.

Awesomeness

This watch is well built, solid feeling, and attractive. The silicone strap that came with the “New Design” is extremely soft and comfortable! (I can’t wear straps with ridges on the inside and thankfully this one is smooth). I love the look of this diver and it’s my first watch with a red dial (very nice). It’s about the size of my Seiko Turtle and seems to fit well. It is large at 46mm but not overbearing or uncomfortable. (I don’t have huge wrists.).The lugs are short and curved so it should wear well on most wrist sizes in my opinion, although keep in mind your wrist shape can also play a part in how a watch looks and feels. I’m very happy with it!

Love this watch I was honestly surprised how nice it is based on just the picture when ordered.

Start with the good. Beautiful color. Great bezel action. Soft strap. Wears well on my 7.75 inch wrist. The day date function is easy to read, which isn’t the case on my other Ratio watch.The only negative I have, the loom could be better. It’s not terrible, but not close to good.
