The quick answer.
ADDIESDIVE 36 mm Explore Dive Watch VH31 Quartz (AD2096) is a 36 mm dive-style watch at $69. We recommend it for a buyer looking for a compact black diver-style watch with quartz convenience, a steel bracelet and clearly published dimensions.
Why it belongs on the shortlist.
The AD2096 uses a restrained black dial, luminous markers and a steel bracelet rather than a crowded set of features. ADDIESDIVE pairs the 36 mm case with a 46 mm span, a useful distinction for buyers shopping for a smaller watch. The VH31 quartz is the draw for someone who wants a low-maintenance movement with a more fluid seconds-hand presentation than a conventional one-tick-per-second quartz display.
A small diameter with a span worth checking.
At 36 mm across, the AD2096 is sized for buyers who find many modern divers too wide. Its 46 mm lug-to-lug is the more useful number for fit, though: that span is not especially short, so compare it with a watch that sits comfortably on your wrist. The 19 mm lug width also matters if you plan to change the bracelet.
The VH31 is the practical reason to choose this version.
ADDIESDIVE lists a Japanese VH31 quartz movement. Its seconds hand advances several times per second, creating a smoother sweep than the familiar single-step rhythm of basic quartz, while retaining quartz convenience. The black dial stays uncluttered with three hands and no date, which suits the compact design.
Know which crystal and water rating you are getting.
The brand specifies a K1 mineral crystal with blue antireflective coating, a 316L steel case and 100 m / 10 bar water resistance. K1 mineral is not sapphire, so buyers who prioritize scratch resistance may prefer another model. The water figure is ADDIESDIVE’s listing, not an independent test or an ISO-certified diver claim.
A $69 list price with a supplied code to check.
ADDIESDIVE listed the AD2096 at $69 USD when checked. The supplied code SEBASTIANBASSOL is for 5% off, but this variant has not been cart-tested, so we show no after-code price. One source detail needs attention: the product page showed sold out while the product feed returned the black AD2096-5 option as available. We leave availability to the live merchant page and keep the review focused on the model; follow our partner link, search AD2096 and confirm the final total.

Before you choose
The 46 mm lug-to-lug is long relative to the 36 mm diameter, and 19 mm lugs are less common than 18 mm or 20 mm. Measure a bracelet watch you already own and consider replacement-strap choices before ordering. The listing specifies a K1 mineral crystal rather than sapphire; ADDIESDIVE’s 100 m rating is a manufacturer claim, not independent testing or dive certification.
Who it suits.
A buyer looking for a compact black diver-style watch with quartz convenience, a steel bracelet and clearly published dimensions.
When to choose something else.
Choose a sapphire-crystal model if scratch resistance is a priority, or a shorter lug-to-lug if 46 mm spans too much of your wrist.
Warranty, returns and ownership.
The official page’s availability signal differed from the product feed when checked. Confirm the live listing, current delivery estimate, warranty terms and return conditions with ADDIESDIVE before placing an order.
