AP Diver Thoughts and Questions
I\'ve been thinking about getting a Diver for some time. (The one pictured is not mine). I\'ve had some reservations which I\'m hoping to sort through. I would intend to use it as an active sport watch for pool and beach. For those that have (or had) an A...
I would go for it
I can't speak to the ocean use question, but the wearability and enjoyment on the wrist are quite nice. The Diver is a very good offering from AP.
Do it.
Hi, I like your thought questions and I can relate to them well, as. I went through similar. My take: 1. not a problem at all. Wear it for beach vacation quite a bit. 2. this is an issue, because of the edged shape. Like nautilus I found them to be somewh...
I like mine a lot - fit and finish are above any other sports watch at this price point. It's a definite keeper.
My only complaint is accuracy - mine was +20 sec/day right out of the box and now a more decent but not perfect +5 sec/day after I got it regulated.
It was my first real watch...
Thoroughly enjoyed it! My only complaint is that the bezel is a scratch magnet. Otherwise, it's a very versatile watch with great wrist presence! I only let it go to fund another acquisition Good luck! J ...
I regret letting it go....
... but I now want carbon or ceramic version..... I have never used it in water or the sea, so I can't answer that question. Wearability is good on weekend clothes. Can't fit it in the sleeve of my weekday shirts. And SS version was for my wrist a bit hea...
Since I own this watch for quite a while, I'll try to answer it honestly.
1) Yes, Yes and Yes. You can dive with it. Sand and particles are going to get stuck in the watch esp the layer of rubber between the bezel and the case. It's going to cause blemish on the bezel and it will wears out your watch especially those nicely pol...
Thanks all for taking the time to write these helpful and thoughtful responses.
I have some thinking to do as I will be in Le Brassus soon.
If you need some "in situ" shots... just turn on a Dodgers game...
LA Manger Dave Roberts typically is wearing the very same watch you are considering! Dave is a Legend to me ("the stolen base", it is a Boston thing dear in our hearts), if it is good enough for Mr. Roberts, then it is good enough for me!! ...
The best diving watch to date
Yes, I know this is a HUGE claim. But do allow me to make my case on why I feel the AP Diver (the standard version without chrono) is the best dive watch out there: 1. Purpose - The very point of existence of a watch is to serve a purpose... it may be see...
No chance
Movement too slim and service costs will be huge. Bezel screw at 11 if left open compromises the waterproofness. If the accuracy is +20 sec then No No No for me.
