I kept seeing this watch on Amazon. I loved how it looked, but at $16.99 I kept telling myself I was wasting my time. Unfortunately, it kept calling to me. It was Prime w/ free returns, so I took the chance.
I have to say, I'm very pleasantly surprised. It really does look great. It is not too light. The band is ok ('genuine leather'), very soft, but at $17 I can't complain...in fact, at that price the band is better than I expected
Quick set date was a pleasant surprise. Only downer is pushing in the crown when setting the time. Like a lot of the 'extremely affordable affordables' the minute hand can move when pushing in the crown if you don't exercise care. OTOH, the subdial seconds hand is actually functional!
Movement is 'Japanese Quartz'. I've had it about a week and it has gained 1.5 seconds, so I'm good there. Extra battery was included, as well. As long as the watch lives a couple of years I'll consider it money well-spent.
