Seems to me like a nice design. The number markers and round hole cut-outs at the corners are ver U-Boat. It's okhand6.gif

I thought this could replace my seiko 5 as my work watch. I won't feel too bad using this every day. The 5 worries me to use at work (I'm a welder BTW). Last edited on Sun Jan 24th, 2010 05:50 pm by philip1 |

This watch arrived yesterday..... the cheapness was staggering I bumped the counter with it and a bunch of paint flaked off the bezel. it keeps time OK I haven't tested accuracy yet but man it feels cheap and is finished cheaply. I will not feel bad if this gets ruined. Now they CLAIM it has great lume but it just doesn't there is a fleck of lume on the hour hand and a bit more on the minute hand but in the dark it's impossible to tell where it's pointing. This watch is in my opinion not even worth the $29 I spent on it. Its crap. I will stick to buying from Brice and on china. Last edited on Thu Feb 4th, 2010 07:39 am by philip1 |

I think a $60 G-shock on sale is FAR better and will last forever, even though it will take a beating. Get one of the metal ones.

Sorry to hear about that...maybe if you want to take a risk at a low cost watch try Alpha's website. I have many a bargain (i thought) propping doors in my house open now, always a risk but is that not half the fun?
