VostokAmphibia 120512 Automatic Self-Winding Diver Wrist Watch

This watch has quickly become my daily driver. I watched a ton of reviews and looked into the culture around these watches and I have to say that everyone is right. Beautiful, affordable, and reliable watch! The size is perfect on my relatively small wrist.

Takes a while to get here but still looks good but I will say that it sucks that there is no hacking on the watch which means when you pull the crown out all the way and stops the second head to adjust time but still really good watch for 200m water resistance

The fit and finish of this watch is flawless !!! Well worth the money spent !!!

Although I've changed my review from 5 stars to 3 stars, I love this watch and wear it every day.Pros: Perfect size, looks awesome, good enough for everything a cubicle rat needs.Cons:1. Time has to be re-adjusted more than once per week.2. Not luminous at all - they need better luminous paint on the hands and markers3. One luminous paint dot disconnected and rattled around in the watch face after jogging for 3 miles.4. The loose luminous paint dot that was rattling around fell into the mechanical part of the watch after running across 4 lanes of traffic. The dot got caught in some gears and the watch stopped working, until I shook the heck out of it.It is working now, minus one luminous dot at 8 o'clock.I still love the watch - but I wish they had better glow in the dark paint, bigger markers, and a way to ensure the paint doesn't flake off and rattle around.

This is a super fun watch full of character. It was worth the wait. As expected in true Russian bare bones but indestructible fashion the watch is solid where it needs to be. It has a very interesting feel when extending the crown ; it literally wobbles like it is broken but as the directions state, it is not lol. The screw down is robust and the look and feel exceeds it's price point. The rotating bezzel however does not. It's fine for novelty sake but would I use it to actually dive with ? 🤷🏻‍♂️. One thing is clear the watch is perfect for the intent I got it for. Solid watch, definitely waterproof much deeper than I will ever find myself in a pool or milling around in the ocean at the beach. Is it cool, absolutely enjoy the Russian flare. My only complaint is the watch bands that come with it are absolutely terrible so you may want to consider a planned upgrade to a different nato band in the future. Worth the wait.

Cool watch. Will end up replacing the band but overall neat design and backstory.

Robust everyday watch. The watch keeps time well and looks great casual and business casual. It doesn't have a hacking movement. The loose crown has some getting used to. But for an automatic watch around $100 it better than it's price point. I swapped out the bracelet personally, but the strap that it comes with is alright. You also have to polish the crystal every once in a while. Good watch.

The Amphibia punches well above its price point, and is a highly capable diver. I've beat the hell out of it for months now, in and out of the pool and lakes, and its held up perfectly.
