Re: Duzu Watches - Prototype
What is it with micro watch makers?
If you are going to call it a dive watch, then index the f#cking bezel like the dive watch ISO requires.
FFS.

Re: Duzu Watches - Prototype
To be fair, this watch has a bezel that is indexed for the first 15 seconds, just like a Rolex Sub or an Omega Planet Ocean, or an IWC Aquatimer.... unless I am missing something? Seiko's ISO divers have fully indexed bezels, as does the Sea Dweller, but plenty of popular"dive watches" do not.
ISO 6425 requires a bezel with 5 minute elapsed minute markers, which this watch has, along with minute markers on the face......
Re: Duzu Watches - Prototype
I agree, not a case copy of the SAS. There are some slight similarities but a design copy it isn't.
But........
- That dial design is atrocious. It is so confusing to look at with all the random marker elements.
- Those milled out case sides would collect crud like off road tire tread and would be difficult to wipe down and keep clean.
I do like the bezel and crown though.

Re: Duzu Watches - Prototype
It has the same first glance feel as the SAS, though it comes off much larger. It will wear huge, but I guess that's ok for the Invicta fans.
Agree the milled crevices will collect gunk.
Overall I'm not attracted to it. Too big, too garish.

Just because you can make cut outs on dials and cases doesn't mean that you should......

Re: Duzu Watches - Prototype
The old ISO only required 5min markers. The current one requires minute indexing to 60 mins plus the 5min markers to stand out.dnslater wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2018 7:22 amTo be fair, this watch has a bezel that is indexed for the first 15 seconds, just like a Rolex Sub or an Omega Planet Ocean, or an IWC Aquatimer.... unless I am missing something?

Lots of desk divers buy watches with a 1950's bezel design because they don't know better, or like the look. That is fine, but call it a sports watch rather than a dive watch if its trading its core function for looks.
To me its the same as a chrono that relegates the seconds timing function to a sub-dial. It can still be used but why would you treat the central purpose as a secondary issue??
From the current ISO: If it is a rotating bezel, it shall have a minute scale going up to 60 min. The markings indicating every 5 min shall be clearly indicated.
Re: Duzu Watches - Prototype
there's a difference between a "dive watch" and an "ISO dive watch." i doubt any serious diver is going to actually dive using tables with a dive watch that really doesn't give all the indicators they need. i mean, really, i doubt there are many "use a bottom timer and tables" divers left out there. computers are the real way people dive now. bottom timers are there for backup.
Re: Duzu Watches - Prototype
Fair enough Carl. I was going from Wikipedia. I love to bash micro brands too, but it isn’t really fair when they are doing the same thing all of the major brands and forum darling watches are doing. Hell, even the Tudor Pelagos has only a partially indexed bezel.

Re: Duzu Watches - Prototype
I'm sorry, but this is a bit ignorant. The most serious divers use tables heavily as they are still the safest. The tables most commercial divers use (DCIEM) are not even available on a dive computer.gwells wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2018 5:45 pmthere's a difference between a "dive watch" and an "ISO dive watch." i doubt any serious diver is going to actually dive using tables with a dive watch that really doesn't give all the indicators they need. i mean, really, i doubt there are many "use a bottom timer and tables" divers left out there. computers are the real way people dive now. bottom timers are there for backup.
Also, if you are doing a planned deep stop (rather than one the computer requested) its handy to have a bezel marked in minutes to track easily. You may already be task-loaded, may be narced and the water bends the light so the dial markings look a fair bit further away from the bezel than you would see on land. The point of the watch is as a tool to track dive time...why make it harder??

Re: Duzu Watches - Prototype
I would absolutely love a Pelagos and it shits me mightily that they put a half-assed bezel on it.dnslater wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2018 5:58 pmFair enough Carl. I was going from Wikipedia.

Keep on posting, negative or positive or just random. At least it has invoked some discussion. Can’t please everyone. Articulate responses are far and few between from what I’ve gathered, no constructive criticism to date, just randomness. Come on guys, try the constructive articulate route.

Re: Watch Prototype
Im sure you were aiming for “unique” and different, but it looks too clunky, the dial is ugly, and it lacks class and style.duzuwatches wrote:Keep on posting, negative or positive or just random.

Constructive enough?
Re: Duzu Watches - Prototype
Dial design is interesting, but looks busy and difficult to read. Has some potential if you clean it up. I like the bezel. Carved out case sides seem like an arbitrary design element. Weight savings on a watch? They will fill with gunk when you wear it and make the watch hard to keep clean. Also will catch on things. Second hand needs lume on a dive watch.duzuwatches wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2018 8:54 pmKeep on posting, negative or positive or just random. At least it has invoked some discussion.
