Quartz, sapphire coated mineral glass (I'm not even sure what that is?), 43mm (too big), a crown guard area that seems to be of poor quality (see picture #2)... Not compelling. Cheap as chips, but perhaps there is a reason why.
I recommend a pass, saving a bit more money, and buying one of Seiko's entry level diver watches. You're gonna be much happier in the longer term.

Evidently only for the first couple of days, then (like the only body found--but never recovered--from the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald), they sink like a stone. Because as everyone knows:

If the watch manufacturer dared writing Diver in the dial, but it's clearly not because this doesn't have the unidirectional bezel... I would absolutely avoid this one, how many other false facts will you find down the road?

MarPablMost definitely NOT a dive watch and it is disingenuous to advertise it as one

RayFNoticed it goes even cheaper... That single Invicta is a better watch deal than whatever was dropped on Drop this month...

I’ve never quite understood why a watch manufacturer would put a quartz movement in a dive watch. Based on my experience, I’ve never had a quartz battery last for much longer than 2-3 years. The second the back comes off, you’ve potentially compromised the main feature of the watch — water resistance.
That poor decision aside, the watch has little aesthetically and reminds me of a bad Panerei knockoff. Add in the lack of a date window and rotating bezel, and you’ve got a big waste of $65.
Although if you like it, by all means buy it. I just wish Droop would feature something I’d actually consider purchasing. Hasn’t happened in months.

When I eventually acquire a real diver, and even if I take up real diving, I sure hope I have enough faith in my own motor skills as well as the watch's.. user-friendliness.. to change my own battery. I see it as akin to taking apart an expensive knife and swapping out its worn-out pivot washers/bearings, which I would do even if the manufacturer distrusted the consumer enough to say the warranty is void if you touch a screwdriver to it. Of course, if it's a matter of unfamiliar complexity, I would hesitate to dive right in, but I argue that changing a watch battery needn't be an overly complex procedure. If I'm just displaying my ignorance of dive watches or watches in general, feel free to ignore or enlighten me.

It does have a screw down crown! And, a universal danger zone (I assume) between the 9 and the 12. How does that work? I know; you calculate the depth you can dive to safely for 45mins. Then you wait for the minute hand to hit the 12 before starting your dive 😃 It must be to compensate for lack of bezel.

KizerOr just turn the minute hand and reset later. Mine won't be going in the sea with that strap. Desk only.

DmanjapanFor sure. I have one true dive watch that still hasn't been diving; I doubt that many diving watches get to dive. I do like the timer bezel on mine though - useful and simple. I just think it's funny that this one has a 15 minute red zone, which doesn't really apply to diving. Ignoring the implied origins of the red zone, or seeing the red zone as a fashionable hint to it's origins (which is probably the way it should be viewed), it is a nice looking watch, and should prove tough.

Very professional diving watch; it has a "closed caseback" 😁. That must be to keep the water out 😁. Technology is racing ahead in leaps and bounds

When you see the word "Shield" listed in a drop, it should be read as a warning label to:
SHIELD YOUR EYES AND DON'T LOOK!!!
