Far better than I expected, a good watch but not fully waterproof
What kind of a watch do you get for €12/£11? Frankly I wasn't expecting much in regard to quality, so when the watch arrived what did I find?Well it certainly is no Seiko or Casio g-shock but the quality is far better than I expected. First the strap, well it's soft, pliable & comfortable to wear. The sections nearest the watch are fixed in place & are not flexible at all, this may seem to be a bad idea but in practice it works well as the fixed part is angled so the watch sits perfectly on the wrist & is less likely to slide around, in fact it just stays put; so far so good. The watch is of course quite large. This is it's selling point, 46mm across edge to edge & the display is 33mm, the designers have chosen to fill this real estate with a much larger led display than normal; it's huge in comparison. The daylight display is crisp, contrasty & given the size very easy to read. I have mine set in the 24 hour mode, the display reads a 2 character day, the month & the date on the top line; note the date arrangement is in the US format -month then date, not the European format of day/date but I can live with that.As stated earlier the hours/minute figures are huge, 10mm high! The third line is the second figure, as I have my watch set to the 24 hour mode the A or P (am/pm) marker disappears. Over all then top marks for the display, no clutter. The case is of course plastic & there are minor moulding marks, but then those lines are also present on Casios too! No surprise at this price point there is an acrylic face.The time is very easy to set as the 4 buttons work well. I went stealth mode, removed the logo & the water depth marking with very fine wet/dry sandpaper & then an even finer grade to polish out any sanding marks. The night display? unusually this isn't the typical backlit display, the backscreen is not illuminated, the figures change from black to glowing green, which is rather nice; not the brightest perhaps, but more than bright enough to read. Absolutely no complaints there.The stop watch facility is good, a press of the mode button brings you directly into the stopwatch, pressing a second button starts the timer, press the button again the timer stops & a third press starts it again where it left off. Pressing the third button resets the timer to 0. Press the mode button twice gets you into alarm mode. It's not the loudest of alarms but it's ok.The watch came operating so there's no way of knowing how much battery life is left. The battery is a CR2025 easily obtainable & inexpensive. The back presumably stainless steel is secured by 4 screws so unless you are cack handed you can change the battery easily enough yourself or have jeweler do it.Waterproof? I suspect this is where it's not so good. The manufacturer advises against operating the buttons while underwater, the suggests that the watch is not fully sealed & pressing the buttons breaks the seal allowing the ingress of water. So not fully waterproof then, I wouldn't risk it in a shower or pool, but hey it's only £10, if you want a functional waterproof watch look elsewhere.So in conclusion this is a very decent watch at a silly low price. I love it!

Incredible would buy again
Incredible item. Good timepiece especially for those that require it at all time of the day thanks to simple clear display and amazing backlight. Love this watch and thanks for the seller of good communication on my questions. However if doing things like press ups or pushing movements, it can be uncomfortable as the buttons start pushing into your wrist. I have tried the multiple alarms of the watch and it is easy to navigate and turn on/off the alarm and the hourly chime both are nice additionSeller advised me that although it is water resistance (which I tried and tested) long exposure can cause battery compromise/reduce its life span. Daily function of this watch is amazing for simplicity and ease of use.
