I've said it before. I think they're like Rotary in the sense all their (most) of their watches copy (remind me of) something established. It's not just that they have Sub clones. They've cloned the Planet Ocean, Carerra, various Bell and Ross watches. I just don't take them serious.

If I looked at one in the flesh in detail I'd see the differences. If I saw one on someones wrist and it had a bright orange bezel I'm likely to think ooooh an Omega at a glance.

Depending on what sort of mood I wake up in depends on how I feel about them. But my usual view is that I'd rather have a cheap original looking watch (G-Shock/Seiko) than an expensive copy/homage/rip-off (CW/Steinhart).

Well, each to their own.

I'd rather eat my own eyeballs than wear most of the G-Shock range biggrin

To be fair I've kind of grown out of g-shocks but they do look unique and don't try to copy anything else.

That's undeniably true.
