By the way. What exactly is magnetic declination mode?

I'd guess 'compass'

Well, handy to have, I think we can all agree.

Looks great How's the strap on it?

Not normally a fan of rubber straps, although the polyurethane strap on my pebble seems ok, think it's possible to replace it but not something I've actually tried on any watch

[silverthorn2151]

The strap is wide, secure and very comfy.

Sub £15 for an automatic! http://www.gearbest.com/men-s-watches/pp_132892.ht...

They've got a few others as well, although predominately cheap smartwatches http://www.gearbest.com/watches-c_11292/?wid[]=3

A family member bought one for a giggle, had a hideous reaction to the back and his wrist became swollen. I would steer clear!

A result of an allergy to nickel?

I've bought a couple of ecig devices, no issues. Just make sure to order from the EU warehouse that I linked too - ordering from the Chinese warehouse can take an eternity to arrive.

Pretty sure it was that, said stainless steel on the case but certainly wasn't!

I've ordered one, I'll chuck up a photo when it arrives. If it even keeps half decent time it'll be worth it, it's only the cost of three (London) pints!

Stainless can and often does contain nickel. 316L is usually used for watch cases, which doesn't have the nickel, but "Stainless steel" is a wide catch all.

Erm, wtf is going on with the dials?



The outer dial is 0-10-20-.....80-90-1000... wtf

The inner dial appears to be labelled 24hr but I'm betting it isn't.

Am I worrying too much about a 15 quid watch. Hmmmm!

The right dial is 24hr. That's standard on a lot of cheap chinese chronos.

The main dial is just for decoration.

The lower dial... that's an odd one. It doesn't correspond to anything.

Sorry I wasn't referring to the subdials, I was referring to the large main dials. The inner of those appears to be labelled 24hrs but I'm guessing the main watch isn't a 24hr hour hand.
