What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Oris Aquis Date Upcycle

Owners widely appreciate the Oris Aquis Date Upcycle's unique, colorful dials made from recycled PET plastic, noting the strong conservation message and artistic look. Reviewers consistently highlight the robust Aquis build, 300m water resistance, and reliable Sellita SW 200-1 movement. Some owners find the dial's appearance inconsistent, and one reviewer notes its complexity can impact legibility for a dive watch. The 41.5mm version offers a more muted palette, and the movement provides a 38-hour power reserve. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Oris Aquis Date Upcycle highly for its distinctive, eco-conscious dial and solid dive watch construction at the price.

From video reviewers

High-quality build is a notable feature of the Oris Aquis Date Upcycle. A potential drawback is that the multicolored recycled plastic dial may not appeal to everyone. Reviewers disagree on the importance of size, with one reviewer praising the watch's smaller size and another preferring a larger watch.

Baltic Aquascaphe Classic

Owners widely praise the Baltic Aquascaphe Classic for its vintage-inspired design, comfortable 39mm wearability, and attractive blue sunburst dial with gold indices. Some owners note a hollow feeling and slight bezel play, while others point to rough case edges and sharp lugs. The faux vintage lume is considered weak by some, and the dial can appear dark without direct light due to limited anti-reflective coating. Accuracy is generally found to be good. On balance, owners rate the Baltic Aquascaphe Classic highly for its aesthetic appeal and comfortable wear at its price point.

From video reviewers

The Baltic Aquascaphe Classic is praised for its exceptional value and unique aesthetic. The watch's bezel action is somewhat stiff and could be improved. Reviewers disagree on the watch's water resistance, with one reviewer finding it unimpressive compared to other dive watches in its price range, while others do not mention any specific issues.
