Just received one of these in the post, thought I'd give you my thoughts on it. I bought it from tinyclocks 2003, a canadian ebayer. Mine cost me $34 and I meant to use it as a daily wear (and indeed my only watch but then I found majestyks store...... but that's another story). It's reasonably chunky, with a brushed steel finish. It came with a sticky cover on the plastic red lens, when I pulled the protective cover off it pulled the lens out I now know that the LEDs you see are actual size :wink: A quick super glue later and it's fixed. The LEDs are not as neat as the picture suggests, the dots appear to have been drinking as they are wandering a bit, any policeman would fail them on the walking in a straight line test. It's a nice big strap for large wristed people so I'm gonna have to have a link or 3 removed (6' tall and skinnny wrists). Biggest gripe is the setting button, it's identical to both the time and date ones and it just bugs me. I understand why it's been done - to keep costs down - but I just feel that that one should be more recessed. I may just remove it and get it cut down somehow oneday. Overall, would I recommend it, not really but I'll wear it in the comfort of knowing I save my Fitron for dressing up and that my kids are sure to bash my wrist sometime with a sword. My work environment ain't too watch friendly either so it wins there again. Why ruin a classic.
The moral - buy a cheap watch and get a cheap watch.
