I ordered this watch from Long Island Watch. He’s in the same town I live in so I should have it in a couple of days
It came. So far I’m pleased. It has a Seiko NH35 24-Jewel Automatic Movement (Hackable). The case and band are high quality. I think its a bargain at $165
You can’t beat it for the price. 200 meter water resistance, screw down crown. What’s not to like. If you scratch the hell out of it, who cares. Just buy another one.
I’ve gotten some for $1, and they are ok for light use.
they also have rubber diver bands, for as little as $1
which is what you see on many old ebay diver watches - chinese generic replacements - the old rubber usually gives up in 10-15 years
That’s a crazy low price! How’s the quality? What I like about Amazon, I ordered it 2 days ago. Got it today. If in the unlikely event where it’s miss delivered to the wrong address, they will replace it or refund your money no questions asked. It happened to me once.
—i’ve gotten about 3 at the $1 price, they are ok, there was one where the holes were just melted into the nylon, which works but is crude
steel parts may rust, can;t tell
i figured for that price i can gamble
some watches i have just to resell or reband for the kids or whatever
some of the bands are good for kids, garish colors and designs
i’ve got about 5 on order now, mostly rubber ones or silicone
under $1
there are also very cheap metal bands
milanese style
forged/folded link style
those can look too cheap if under $3
Word of warning on the cheap metal bracelets: not only do they often lack adjustment vs more expensive options, they arent always 316L or whatever the usual steel is and Ive heard of a number of people getting skin irritations from them.
