  • @francisbawasanta6310
    @francisbawasanta6310 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Not bad. As an alternative to the current fashion watches it's pretty good. Depends on the price though as there are still Chinese brands that do offer all the specs for under $70. For the $200 to $300 range I'd probably still opt for a Seiko or Orient. Good move on them though.

    I question this brand. They are a marketing company. Is there REALLY a factory is Switzerland? Are they producing the product or just rebranding someone else’s? I just don’t trust them. You shouldn’t either. They have to atone for the previous junk they sold and they can send me a refund at any time😄😄

    They made a generate watch that every other switch watch company made and they don't come with heritage like others, I assume for price of the automatic one you can get a longines instead. Also don't know how the Instagram fashion watch folks like this design.

    Rhonda quartz are nothing special. They sit very much in the average quartz category. Just because it's Swiss does not mean it's great especially in quartz. Let's not forget Seiko were the pioneer of quartz and to be honest for long term reliability and time keeping I would go for Seiko or Citizen quartz any day over a Rhonda quartz. ETA quartz now that is something better, much better 🤔 although I would still go Seiko or Citizen quartz

    Getting sick of Chinese made watches ? How dare they. Chinese made low cost is what make them ale to make profit and rip off consumer . Well now it turn Swiss made , the price for sure goes up so they can pay the marketing and branding department (typical American way - product branding over quality ) . If the price is similar to seiko and tissot, good luck to them . The fashion savvy will go for designer watch while the horology fan won’t choose them .

    Buy a case, a movement, a dial having a print Swiss Made, hands from 3rd party get them assembled in a 5 person factory, put on a shitty strap and send few pieces to TH-camrs in the name of KickStarter campaign who is going to say all is good. Asking price $300 for the early bookings which will be over in a day and later at a price $500. This had become the biggest fascinating business now a days. People wanting to buy a decent watch should never put a penny on these craps because brands like Tissot, Certina to offer a good quality Swiss watch at around $400-$500 and if someone goes to $800-$1,000 then can get a much better Mido or Longines or an Oris. A $100 can buy a nice Seiko. All real companies having centuries old history in watchmaking, having a better service facility. You buy the Kickstarter watches and something goes wrong and you have to throw the piece because there will be no one to service the watch!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @SecondHourWatches

    A Swiss manufacturer would not make the mistake of putting 'Stanless' on the engraving anywhere on a watch. There is no way these watches are 100% Swiss made.
