If you're looking to buy this watch, maybe it's because you already know this brand history and such, maybe it's just the value for money. But let me tell you, thiswatch is so much more than that. Although I have to say, it's not for everyone.
I got this watch a couple of weeks ago and I haven't taken it off my wrist, even though I have watches that could be considered prettier or just downright better for some. But, considering it's history, endurance and design, I think that you cannot get a better watch at this pricepoint.
Pros:
- Amazing classic look and turtle case. Originally I wanted a Seiko Turtle but I could not afford one at the time. Fortunately, Amazon's algorithm showed me this beautiful watch and I did my research. The desing and engineering just blew my mind.
- Endurance and durability: As I said, I've only had this watch for a couple of weeks, so I cant speak much about it's durability, although I have taken lots of showers with it. But... These watches have been tested and I'm pretty sure they are quite reliable.
- Size and Comfort: I don't have large wrists, but I do think that this timepiece looks good on mine, even though it could be considered as a large watch. The curvature in the back of the case, allows this watch to sit comfortably on your wrist with no problems whatsovever.
- Accuracy: At this pricepoint, +8 seconds a day means nothing, so I really am pleased. It's also pretty easy to calibrate the accuracy, there are tons of videos on YouTube, I just havent had the time to do it.
- Mods: You can make a lot of mods on these watches, from the dial, to the crown, case, bands and bezels.
Cons:
- Polished look: Im not a fan of the polished look on the watch, and that why I used some Scoth Brite to brush the look and now I love it. But this is subjective. If you like the original look, leave it like that.
- Its not for everyone: If you get this watch, you kno what you get...A wobbly crown, a plastic crystal, and a bidirectional, kind of loose bezel. But, these are characteristics of the desing and engineering.
Conclusion:
I highly recomend this watch for all enthusiasts, historians, collectors and divers. If you know what you get, you won't be dissapointed.

A Whole Lada Watch for the Rupees
where do i start?... firstly, i really like the idea and story of the Vostok Amphibia. and yet my experience with the seller has to be rated differently to my experience with the watch itself. after even more research on forums and such, i probably should have bought from another seller instead. anyways, i'm getting ahead of myself...The Watch:right off the hop, i have to say, i absolutely love the look of the 710 ministry case (and that cool little scuba dude). it's a very thick watch, but wears like it's much thinner. the "comfort case" design really is wonderful. feels great on the wrist if you opt for a traditional two piece strap instead of the nato that comes with it. nato is a bit trendy at the moment, but it sits much higher so i feel like i keep banging it against stuff.1st one i got (yeah, i had to send it back and get another one) was running +33.4 seconds per day while being worn. i knew that the Vostok was not a very accurate watch, so i was actually ok with this as the factory's margin of error for acceptance is between -20 to +60 sec/day. i know, it's truly absurd for any watch, but if you've ever owned ANYTHING Russian, then you know quality in precision is not a value of any product that comes from Russia (think Lada). the date changed at about 5 mins past midnight too, so i was pretty happy with it... until i noticed that the minute and hour hands didn't line up. in order for the hour hand to be dead on, the minute hand was reading 9 mins past the hour! i contacted the seller and after much communication and then another long wait for delivery, i got the second watch.2nd one runs VERY accurately... sort of. while i'm wearing it, i've had it tested, via an iphone app, with results as good as +2.0 to +3.9 s/d, but averaging +12.6 s/d... that was a true shock to me! amazing!... that is, until i set it down to go to sleep. with the "Dial Up", it runs about +25 to +29.8 s/d. "Crown up", it runs +46 to +49.8 s/d. "Crown down", it runs +16 to +26.0 s/d. seriously wacky the variations at the same resting positions. after 11 Accuracy Tests, it's averaging +24.5 s/d overall. i think i'll stick to laying it "crown down" from now on when i'm not wearing it, but i could consider wearing it to bed to see if that makes a difference... yuck.the hands line up on this one, but now the date changes at 11:47pm every night. not a big deal if i'm asleep, but because i'm a night owl...i find the date window quite difficult to read as the font for the numbers is very slender and because the acrylic crystal is domed, it makes it quite difficult to read. can't just glance at it. have to tilt it away from glare and take a good, hard look to really read it.the edges around the strap are VERY sharp. i had to take some fine grit sandpaper to it to smooth it out as it tears at any strap you attach it to.older versions of this watch had a chrome plated brass bezel, but apparently it's now a polished stainless steel. i really wanted the brass one so that i could strip off the chrome and leave it with the brass bezel. really like that look, but can't do it now. too bad. on a plus, the crown is now also stainless steel instead of a chromed brass. so that's great.overall, i'm happy with the watch. though i'm truly afraid to test it in water due to the serious flaws in quality control. two exact watches and two very different end products. how is that at all passable in 2018?... oh yeah, it's made in Russia.i'm considering buying the Komandirskie K35 (model 350607) with an actual 24 Hour movement from them. don't know why i have a sort of obsession with funky Russian products. i guess i look at them as toys more than anything. if i were more serious about watches, i'd probably buy a Hamilton Khaki or a Seiko Presage... or if i could get my hands on one, a Seiko Alpinist!if you want feedback on the seller, you'll have to read a separate review for that on seller feedback... he only gets a 2*
