Collins Sonar - Thoughts & Photographs

[thesingularity7]

I've had this watch for just a little over a week now. This is their first dive watch, and quite a good one.

I've written down my detailed thoughts here, and compared it to a cheaper alternative (Traska Freediver) - https://www.beansandbezels.com/revie...-watch-review/

But if you're not interested in a long read, here's a quick summary:

Pros:

• Excellent finishing on the dial
• 300m water resistance
• Fantastic lume on the bezel, and good lume on dial (Black version)
• Good bezel action
• Good choice of movement (Sellita SW200-1)

Cons:

• Overall design isn't breaking any new ground
• Bracelet links could be better
• $695 price tag might make it just out of reach for the sub-$500 diver crowd

Onto the good stuff, photographs:

Let's start with a lume shot, because everybody loves lume shots!

I'm happy to discuss this watch & the review, and take more photographs if you want to see something in particular.
