Haigh & Hastings M2 Diver First Impression Video With Review

by Don Evans

Haigh-&-Hastings-m2-diver

In the world of micro-divers there is no shortage of competition, and just when I think that I know all of them out there, another brand pops up.

This time it is Haigh & Hastings and their M2 Diver. Haigh & Hastings headquarters is located in Perth, Australia.ย  Now I could be wrong, but unlike a lot of micro brands these days, they did not do a preorder, and just went into production and released them when they were ready. Coming in at a base price of just about $501.00 USD, it is a rugged, tool style diver, and they do have some options for different strap upgrades and an array of different colors.

In the video, I give you my first impressions of the M2 diver, and after having it for a few weeks I can say while at first I had my doubts, ย I have to admitโ€ฆthe M2 Diver has really grown on me.

Great review Don and as always very informative plus gray pics. I like the watch even before i started to read the review the watch looked very attractive. The price is good too. As you said upgrades might be possible so I would say a bracelet would be a good upgrade.
P.S: I agree that drilled lug holes would be great. My RedSea Holystone has drilled lug holes and man has it made changing straps easy and scratch free

It is a good looking watch . I just picked up the new Tudor black bay in blue and the two look similar. While I am not familiar with this brand I do like thir product from this review. Thanks for posting it
