Tonight after washing my hands in a minimal amount of water my watch has all steamed up on the inside this to me indicates that the watch is not water proof as stated in the write up as it states the watch is waterproof upto 100 feet in depth yet I’ve only washed my arms and hands tonight and my watch has all steamed up. I’m hoping upon reading this review someone at amazon has the decency to contact me to discuss this matter as I’ve had the watch since December without any problems and usually when I wash my hands I take my watch off even though I shouldn’t have to.
For what it is – a fashion watch – it is very nice. It does the job of looking bulky, well built, and having a presence really well. I looks great both from afar an up close. The main clock face partially glows in the dark, which is a nice touch, and the whole thing feels solidly built.
The engineering/precision on the watch isn’t great however. I’ve had it for a few day, and haven’t notices it gaining or losing time, however I have noticed a few flaws in the alignment of components in the watch. These are only visible upon close inspection (by eye from like 30cm away). On mine particular one, the stop watch hand starts at 4 seconds, not at 0, and two of the time zone dials don’t properly line up with makings on the body. I don’t expect super precision, but for the price of this watch, I do expect things like that to be right out of the box. The other down side is the strap, the underside is very comfortable, making it nice to wear, but the outer side feels like very harsh, cheap leather. I would highly consider getting a replacement strap if I can find one suitable.
