First Impressions
At first glance, the ADDIESDIVE Quartz Diver strikes a balance between rugged practicality and classic diver aesthetics. It has the unmistakable cues of a professional dive watch—stainless steel case, unidirectional bezel, bold dial—and yet comes in at a price that undercuts most of the competition. For anyone seeking a reliable everyday tool watch, this model makes a persuasive case without straying into gimmick territory. Is this budget Rolex Submariner Kermit tribute just too good to be true for £25?

Case and Build Quality
The case is made from 316L stainless steel, the industry standard for robust tool watches. At 41 mm in diameter and 13 mm thick, it wears with substance but avoids being overly bulky. The lug-to-lug measurement of 48 mm ensures a comfortable fit across a wide range of wrists. The screw-down crown and caseback add to the solid, purposeful feel, while a choice of steel bracelet maintains the aesthetic of a serious diver. Weight on the bracelet is around 163 g, giving it reassuring wrist presence.

Dial and Legibility
The dial is protected by convex mineral glass, treated with an anti-glare blue coating to reduce reflections underwater or in strong sunlight. Bold hands and indices are treated with Swiss C3 luminous powder, and the ceramic bezel insert carries BGW9 lume, ensuring impressive visibility in low-light conditions. The date function adds everyday practicality, though it remains unobtrusive on the dial. For the price bracket, lume performance is a standout feature.

Movement and Functionality
Inside ticks a Miyota 2115 quartz movement—a proven, reliable workhorse. The choice of quartz ensures excellent accuracy and convenience, with an estimated four-year battery life before servicing is required. The uni-directional ceramic bezel turns with precise clicks, and the watch is rated to 200 metres water resistance, making it more than capable for recreational diving and swimming.
