In a TH-cam universe filled with watch reviews, your brilliant reviews continue to be lean and concise. No superfluous detail, no attempt at getting your face on screen - just wonderfully presented information. Please maintain your considerate style of videography. I still very much appreciate and enjoy your work! PS. I respect your use of gloves as well - reinforces your considered approach and dedication to your work Thank you.
Thanks heaps for the kind words and continued support mate. I figured you and others would probably get sick of looking at my unkempt fingers by now so figured some gloves would make it a bit classier. Thanks again 👍
I loved the review, this watch came up for me at the Shoppe and it definitely looks great on a more casual occasion, it was wonderful to have someone's opinion on it
Today I got mine delivered. I bought it for about 6 euros on Temu, which I consider a steal for a watch. The only difference is that mine is green and has a green strap and it is not rough, but a more delicate imitation of suede. It really stands out in terms of design. To be fair, I have never encountered a watch with this particular shape. However, it does create some vintage feeling. The watch feels "heavy" and its numerals are surprisingly easy to be read. Cannot tell anything about the quality though.
Thank you so much for making that video, I didn't find any information regarding water resistance on AliExpress but I got that and so much more out of your vid!
My pleasure. However that was a good pick-up from you. I re-read the specifications and it turns out this watch has no rated water resistance. I'll add that to the notes. Thanks for raising that.
I saw a 30 meter water resistance rating on an Ali page. These watches are in the category of just take them off when your hands are wet. Moisture and rough abuse are most likely the only factors that will prematurely kill a piece like this. I've looked and appreciated it's simple design for a while now and although the majority of my watches are of higher build quality as are yours who reads his now, there's something appealing of simple but functional form factor. Being a person who appreciates watches does not mean that you cannot appreciate a $5 watch. Thank you for bringing us this video and reminding me about this watch. I'm going to go out and buy one today maybe 2. Instant subscribe.
Thanks for the subscribe and comment mate. I'm thinking that different sellers might advertise different specs., and the one I bought it from didn't mention it. But for around $5 I was really impressed with its design and overall beauty/simplicity.
Its a 3 dollar watch. Mine is cool for what it is. The beauty is in it simple minimal design. It has the cheapest quartz movement known to man im sure. So for what it is, and knowing there are bigger brands like say, San Martin, or many others that hold up to serious scrutiny. For the price its stunning. Im old enough to remember what was coming out of china 20+ years ago. This is a steal despite all it's faults.
@@bigriceburner It sure is. When you consider the design is similar (if not maybe better) than other minimalist pieces costing 15-20 times the price it really is a steal.
I bought the same watch, and it is defective. The minute hand moves on its own when I move my hand, even though the crown is properly fixed. The watch is not functioning correctly and is unusable. I don’t advise anyone to buy it.

Sorry to hear that mate.
Don’t worry, I got my refund. The watch is garbage, I opened it, and it’s bad inside. It’s just a toy.
