Wise Hitman Dive Watch Review

Picture

Wise is a small microbrand from Thailand that produces a couple different styles of dive watches and assembles each watch prior to shipping them to you - This model is priced at $328 USD , You can also watch the full youtube video on the Watch Addiction Channel

Case and Dial
Picture
The black dial on my sample is almost sunburst like and the green from the ceramic lumed bezel definitely shows on the dial in sunny conditions. The solid 316L stainless steel case measures 41 x 47 x 12.3MM thick. It is a nice size - especially for my 6.75 inch wrist. The 20MM lugs compliment the case size just fine which is nice to see. Changing straps on this model will be a breeze as there are limitless options when it comes to 20MM bands. The lume is strong as it should be with BGW9 on the applied markers and filled bezel. The markers seem very neat and are quite legible under the ar coated Sapphire crystal. Legibility is definitely not an issue on this 200M rated dive watch - Oh yeah! This watch can go diving with this rating and does feature a signed screw down crown and caseback as well.

Movement
The NH35 is used in this watch which is pretty normal for micro brands as it is a workhorse movement snd usually functions with ease for many years. They are quite steady and accurate as you know by now. They do have the hand winding and hacking seconds that lacks in some of the Miyota branded movements. I think at this price it is doable and do not really have an issue with the NH35 TMI produced by Seiko.
Bracelet
The bracelet is a decent one. It is an oyster style bracelet with screw links and a simple two button push clasp which is milled. I actually prefer these simpler slimmer clasps over the large bulky ones we have seen used by other microbrands. They fit comfortable on my wrist and keeps the clasp in proportion to the actual size of the watch and case.

Conclusion
Furthermore gents - the HITMAN is definitely a nice looking diver with some decent specifications for the price , However other brands out there are offering better specifications for the price , so it really is all up to the customer. I like the variety of bezels they do offer and the smooth brushed finishing of the case as well as the oyster bracelet which is quite comfortable. I am not so sure about the name HITMAN as this literally has nothing to do with a dive watch, but hey we all have our own opinions. However, if your in the market for a clean dive watch with good quality control and a decent oyster bracelet that is not a homage watch or replica watch like many brands offer - this can be a suitable option for you.

The main component of a mechanical movement is the mainspring, a spring that gradually unwinds and transmits energy. A mechanical watch will keep accurate time despite requiring winding up if it's manual. ... Inside an automatic watch sits a small weighted rotor that has to oscillate in order to wind the mainspring.
