Is the NY0040 worth it?

Yes, if you want a real automatic dive watch at a low price. It gives 200m water resistance, a screw-down crown and a day-date without the cost of a Swiss diver.

How does it compare with the Seiko SKX007?

Both are 42mm automatic divers with day-date. The NY0040 adds hand-winding and hacking, while the SKX has a larger aftermarket for parts and mods.

Does it have a sapphire crystal?

No. It uses mineral glass, which resists knocks but scratches more easily than sapphire. Aftermarket sapphire crystals are available.

What movement does it use?

Citizen's 8203 automatic movement, which also supports hand-winding and hacking. Accuracy is typical for the price, roughly within a few tens of seconds a day.

Is it good for swimming and diving?

Yes. It is rated to 200m with a screw-down crown and a rotating timing bezel, which covers swimming, snorkeling and recreational diving.
