For someone on a really tight budget this is a very reasonable proposition....as part of a collection it would be an ok beater....If they produced a better quality version, upgraded the materials and movement, it could still be brought in sub £100 a fair bit less if they stuck to quartz....there is room for a good luminox homage....if they took on the challenge I honestly believe they'd have an absolute winner....i'd buy for sure....🏴⌚🏴⌚
I think you’re right Brian, an improvement in finishing and materials and they could really have something very cool. For now it’s just a bit ‘cheap and cheerful’… Thanks for watching mate 👍👍
Definitely a fantastic watch for the price, as you said you can’t expect the earth for the price on this and you got it for 15 on sale, that’s incredible, and the lume is good for the price as well. Great little find
I bought the orange one on a matching black bracelet, I think I prefer the NATO. It’s hard to argue with the value, nothing quite like a 20 quid watch (I loved the tevise T801 for the same reason
I was looking at a Luminox & thought nah ... $800 (NZD) & Heres this for $45 Same model, same colour on a black rubber strap is on its way 😊 Thanks for the review
Well that's alright for the price if someone doesn't want to spend too much on a watch. Those springbars look like the big beefy ones that Seiko uses on their divers, if I'm right, hard to say looking at a video. But if so, a pair of slimmer ones might be handy. Excellent review.
Yea I purchased the all steel variant last year and I was plated mystery metal I only used the bracelet on a different watch but I think I only dropped 30$ on the total package and the pip was abnormally large but I guess it would make a great beater for someone's first watch or a kids first piece Thanks for another great review my friend 👍keep em coming 👍
Ordered one of these last week. For the price it should be a good beater watch. I have had the spring bar issue on a couple of other watches. I changed them out to smaller diameter ones and problem solved. Good review.
My very first watch rebuild was a Miyota 2115, in my original Sekonda Safari that died a death years ago and recovering from a triple bypass I had time on me hands so for the enormous amount of £2 I bought a new 2115 and the watch was alive again and several years later still going strong... sadly it is a very small piece in a 300 plus working collection but sometimes I do sport the old thing when I want a bit of roughwear. I got my Addiesdive yesterday arrives think it was £17 and eight days delivery time, very impressed as usually £17 on Aliexpress buys horribleness :D
A 300 plus working collection is some collection mate, congrats. For 17 quid you really can’t go wrong with this thing and my son loves his. Thanks for watching 👍👍
Great video! do you think its waterproof? At least for shallow swimming? I'm between this one and a Casio MRW-200H-7. This one for the looks and the casio obviously for the reliability, what do you think? I'm afraid of pruchasing this one only to regret totalling it out of water damage
Good question and the honest answer is I’m not sure but I’d probably not take it swimming personally, 50 meters WR is really only splash proof. I hope that helps mate 👍👍
Tbh mate I wouldn’t worry too much about that stuff as most, of not all watches on AliExpress aren’t certified to any standard when it comes to their ‘water resistance’. Thanks for watching though my friend 👍👍
Thanks for the review. Not one for me, but...for $26, you get a $6 travel case and a $20 watch. Great deal!!!
Very good perspective mate and I appreciate you watching 👍👍

Thanks Chris and yes it’s a bit of a banger for the price tbh. I hope you’re well 👍👍

For the price like you say, it’s hard to argue. I had a Tevise some time ago and I have no clue what happened to it. Thanks for watching Chris 👍👍
I was looking at a Luminox & thought nah ... $800 (NZD)
& Heres this for $45
Same model, same colour on a black rubber strap is on its way 😊
Thanks for the review
Nice one mate, am only happy I could help you to make an informed decision - enjoy 👍👍

A good beater watch for sure. Thanks for watching Jason 👍👍

I think changing the spring bars would have to be a given mate as these ones are wayyy too thick. Thanks for watching and always supporting 👍👍

Am sure you’ll like it Holt, it’s a very decent offering for the price and the lume is sensational. Thanks for watching mate 👍👍
Great value proposition for sure.
Most definitely mate 👍👍

Had one of these a couple of years ago, for the price it was difficult to pick holes in it if im honest
I gotta say these get a 👍👍 from me 😊
I agree, a very decent offering for the price. Thanks for watching mate 👍👍

@@WatchtheTime thanks!!!
Almost forgot maybe you might try to get the Thorn Doxa homage in for your opinions the have many options Just saying 👍
Thanks for the idea mate I’ll check them out now. Top man 👍👍
Not one for me but great as a beater watch. How could you go wrong?
Pretty much bang on how I feel about it mate. A tad too cheap and cheerful for me but can definitely see the appeal for people on a tight budget 👍👍
50meters water resistant is a bad deal to me :/, if only that was fixed up to 100m, that woudl be perfect for a beater. Even Skmei is better at that.
