Thorn 50-Fathoms Automatic Dive Watch for Men, NH35 Movement C3 Luminous Military Wristwatch 200M Waterproof, 40MM

This is an “homage” of a much more expensive Blancpain Fifty Fathoms diving watch. For about 1% of the cost, you get a very nice rendition of a classic. I love everything about this watch. I absolutely love it.

If the movement worked reliably in this watch, it's easily a 5-star product. However, within 3 months, mine was unable to be wound manually, and turning the crown to adjust the time was met with a HUGE amount of resistance, and the crown cannot be pushed completely in to tighten the screw down crown. Sometimes I can get lucky and get it pushed in and screwed down, so I try to do that when the time is correct, then just wear it to keep it wound. Something is clearly off in the internals.This was beyond the 30-day return window, and the vendor basically said kick rocks, they could offer a 10% discount on a new purchase, or send me a new movement.I'm not a watchmakers, so I don't have the tools necessary to swap a movement.Also, the watch was shipped with a WATCHDIVES.COM warranty card which stated the watch as a 2 year warranty, but when I contacted Watchdives, they said they have no affiliation with the vendor on Amazon and they can't assist with warranty issues.

Attractive, sturdy, substantial tool, water proof, 9 spd slow, very clear bubble dome crystal, quiet movement that adjusts easily with no crown wobble or finicky/grinding, threads, one click out no ghost date, lume is initially bright but 4 hours maybe. 20mm lug very compatible. Comfortable weight and lug design so fits comfortably. Sandblasting finish well done. Solid watch for the price. Hard to find better in $150 range and not a total copy, great everyday beater.

To days shipped to the house. I new it was going to look nice but WOW! Fits great on my 17.5cm wrist. Very close to the vintage Blancpain diver. I can't ask for more, Very Happy!

I especially like that this does not look like the usual submariner homage. Everything about it feels solid and well-made. I have also heard good things about other Thorn brand watches.

This watch was great from June (fathers day gift) until late September. It slipped out of my hand as I was taking it off and it landed on a tile floor. I sent an email to Tactical Frog, since I was beyond any threshold where Amazon would help. It's been 3 weeks and no response, which is not entirely surprising as Tactical Frog only warranties their watches for 30 days, which coincidentally, aligns with Amazons return window. I've had Casio and Timex watches keep better time (it lost a couple of minutes, per week) and take a tremendous amount more abuse. Lesson learned, but I hope this keeps someone else from a similar situation.

The media could not be loaded. This fifty fathoms "clomage" is fantastic, but it has a very hard to use bezel. I had to use clipper oil to try and loosen the bezel and even with that it's still a very stuck bezel. It's great for use in water though, and has pretty good lume but it doesn't last. The movement may also need a handwind once in a blue moon. Not sure why this happens despite it being automatic. But definitely worth the value the watch is. Can't expect the best bezel for under 200

After a month and a half this watch will no longer stay wound and stops running after six hours or so. It keeps time as well as a sundial in the shade. Amazon and the seller won’t respond to any of my messages. The company Thorn won’t even respond. Buy at your own risk. Amazon used to care about their customers until they got rich. Now they could care less. Do yourself a favor and shop elsewhere.
