The build quality seemed very good (of the watch head at least), and certainly on par with other watches in the price range, but :
- the sizing is very misleading : diameter is stated as 44, but that is the diameter of the case, not of the bezel; the cushion-shaped case protrudes by around 2 mm either side of the bezel, so the watch wears extremely small, more like a 40 mm instead of a 44 mm one. I do realise that this is actually a big plus for many, but I don't like watches smaller than 43 mm, so it didn't work for me
- the watch is way too thick for the diameter, the proportions are all wrong - it just doesn't work! In profile, the bezel almost looks like a nipple
- the bracelet was just rubbish - why do they bother?
- the rubber strap, although better quality than the rubber, it's again, the wrong proportions - the curly bits at the top make it too beefy for the rest of the watch, at least looks-wise : it's like putting a Toshi strap on a vintage dress watch
