The coin edge bezel is actually easy to grip and actually has a pretty nice rachet and feel to it and locks into place without any play. The case shape is similar though and has drilled lugs and the overall silhouette is nice, but again, it’s mimicking a great Seiko diver, so it does have some nice lines. The case tries to mimic the case shape, finishing, and monoblock style case back, because of course this is not a monoblock case back at this price, and don’t expect Seiko level finishing either. Now just like any watch, there are positives and negatives, but I think there are more negatives with this Aquatico Poseidon. Even at this price, you could probably do better. Well, I never claim to be an expert, but I have been reviewing watches for over a decade and I’ve bought and seen many. Some of you may be saying, well, it’s very inexpensive, and what do you expect. One thing I always pride myself on is the ability to cut through the BS. Price $359 (Current discount on-site brings it to around $250) Crystal: Dome Sapphire with Inner AR coating. ![]() Honestly, it’s a little convoluted and possibly shady, but that that’s the watch world and that is China. Factory brands, on the other hand, are brands that portray themselves as microbrands but are owned by the same factories making some of your favorite microbrands. There’s more to it, but that’s the basics. What does that mean exactly? Well, unlike a microbrand, which doesn’t have a true definition, watch nuts have labeled it as a small brand, that has only a few employees, sometimes just one person, and makes limited production, usually 3-500 per production run. If you are not familiar with Aquatico, they are a factory brand, or as some call a mushroom brand. ![]() If you want something that has the look but is not identical and you are okay with sacrificing quality, this could be an option. If you are looking for a watch that is as close to the Seiko as you can get, this is definitely not it. The Aquatico Poseidon is an homage to the MM300 and at the discounted price of $250, may just be the one for you, depending on what you are looking for. Have you always wanted a Seiko Marine Master 300 but just can’t afford or justify the price? Well, like any iconic and popular watch, there is a homage out there waiting for you.
