i saw one of these the other day as i was getting some cd's and the other half came over and was going on that this would look nice and be a good day to day tach.
i was going to buy a seiko or like next month but this looked quite good and quite cheap.
the one i looked at didn't have the broen but it was stainless brazel.

No, it's not even that good.ETA: If you only want positive answers, I suggest that you ask elsewhere.

2) I didn't ask the question. However if I did come on here and ask about a watch I was thinking of buying I would be unimpressed if people were unable to answer without looking down their nose at it.

Well pardon me for expressing an opinion. 2) I didn't ask the question. However if I did come on here and ask about a watch I was thinking of buying I would be unimpressed if people were unable to answer without looking down their nose at it.
If I want to look down my nose at what I perceive to be [and is] a piece of junk then I will do so. Frankly, I really don't see any point in asking advice on a forum when you're spending less than £100 on a watch. If you want a decent workhorse that will last then spend a bit more and get something that actually *is* "half-decent". Failing that, pay your money and take your choice, be happy.
Here is a selection of reasonable workhorses that will last a damned sight longer than that thing.

That good eh?Bloobird - You're going to need to develop a slightly thicker skin me thinks. This is PistonHeads after all.
To awnswer the OP's question - It's feckin horrible & you could do wayyyyy better.
Loads of posts on here about buying good, reasonably priced watches to which the stock answers are:-
1) Get a Seiko
2) Have a look at Werners

thanks guys.
i am not to worried what people think im thick skinned. i drive a fiat after all.
i am really pleased with the one whatch i have just bought, i tried servral watches including a monster but they didn't suit me. the one is big and chunky and as sturdy as they come. only cost me £50 reduced for £180! so pleased about that as its my knock about watch but i have really grown to like it already.
+ i like to be different and it seams everyone on here has seikos and maybe for a reason but i like to be different.
everyone who has seen the watch has commented on how expensive and robust and nice it is so can't just be me who like it.

That good eh?You say it's a rubbish watch purely because you don't like it's looks, that doesn't make it rubbish, it's just not to your taste, then you post a link to a page of watches that look nothing like either of the watches the OP has posted about, how is that helpful?
