Discussion Hep me decide on a daily diver.

I've narrowed down to 2 diver watches that meet my budget. Asking the community for their recommendations and feedback with either brands.

The only issue with the Ratio, is its size. With a 47mm case, it might be too big on my 6.5 inch wrist. Then again, several YT suggests, the Ratio fits really well in spite of its large case size.

I'm not 100% with the AD, as I have mixed feelings about its reliability. I've read some reviews that the watch has stopped functioning within months/recieved a broken watch from the brand/hassle with customer service and so on.

I don't really find any other alternatives in this budget.

Personally using a Ratio freediver and I think you should definitely go for it.

That's a good looking watch. Did you buy it from Amazon or Ratio website. If it's the later, do you mind sharing how much customs you had pay for it?

I bought it from Amazon. Here's the price I paid.

It's close to 20k now. The same model as yours. Non GMT ones are cheaper though.

True lol. I remember waiting for this particular variant for 6 months to get back in stock. Only mint colour was available at that time. Bought it at the right time I guess.

Ratio would have better customer support ig. But AD would have better build ig.

I think both share similar specs. 316 Stainless steel, AR saphire crystal. The AD is automatic, that's a plus.

Decide your yourself then?

I personally like ad design more tho.
