Collins Sonar - Thoughts & Photographs

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

Video Review: https://youtu.be/m9eKj3rTPyg

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.
