I was hesitant since I've had mixed experiences with watches that are an homage to famous brands and turn out to be cheaply mfg. throwaways. This one turns out to be a winner so far and I remain cautiously optimistic that it will perform well over time. Either way the price is right for a whole lot of watch and it appears to be rated to 20ATM - 200 meters which makes it a above entry level insofar as sports watches of this type. Hopefully there will be no water infiltration from basic routines, and I still probably wouldn't immerse it in water.Pros:-smart packaging protects the watch well and doesn't arrive in a bulky box-watch looks great ...very handsome face, screw down back and nice, easy release bracelet-the crystal is clear no distortion-the rotating bezel is crisp with no extra play-screw down crown - good sign to prevent water infiltration-adjusting the time and date is straight forward and the crown turn is smooth and precise with no extra play on getting exact minutes - good sign that the internal quartz mechanism is of good quality-adjusting the band is straight forward if you have the tools and have done adjustments before-the watch size and total weight is perfect for most medium/small wrists...if you have big wrists this will look petite so look for something bigger-the watch wears well with minimum slide on the wrist and if well adjusted it won't land in the back of your hand and cause discomfort from the crownI highly recommend this watch if you're looking for a homage model of a luxury watch.

Update: I put a jubilee bracelet on it and wow. This thing is gorgeous and reliable. I’ve had it a few months now and it’s a great beater but also fashionable and useful especially with the new bracelet I put on itNow I’ve only had this for a day so I might come back and update this review at some point. I was halfway expecting that I’d end up returning this watch. I’m a collector for sure and every now and then I like to get some throw around watches that also look nice. Beaters but still nicely made. Well this is perfect for anyone out there on a budget. I mean, there are small things that passionate watch enthusiasts will notice, like a discoloration on the bezel, the screw down crown doesn’t always work the first time around, the window and bezel smudges can look like scratches sometimes but when you wipe it off it’s not a scratch. But this is a beautiful watch. Does not look or feel like a $50 watch. More so like a $350-$400 watch. The watch is comfortable, holds time well, the watch band ( I got rubber ) is the best stock band I’ve ever gotten. And the LUME is unreal. Not only does the lume light up easily from hardly any length of time in the light. But it’s gorgeous and bright and lasts for a while. Overall, more than worth the money.

has the ubiquitous submariner-style diver's watch look at an affordable price. the blue is nicely done, the lume glows well, the crystal is clear and the date scroll is easily readable, the screw down crown is secure, and it doesnt have the annoying audible clicking / ticking sound that cheaper quartz watches suffer from. case has good weight, and although the bracelet feels a little flimsy compared to the case, it looks great.

I was originally thinking about giving this four stars for a few reasons, then I saw the lume. The brightness and color is much more consistent than many other brands I've seen, and lasts nearly as long as my Tudor GMT!The overall build quality is good, with a little more high polished finishing than I'd prefer. The bracelet is decent for the price, and could use better deburring on the holes for the pins. The bezel insert has nice and crisp edges, and rotates smoothly and securely. It sounds like it has two detents, so that's a positive.The movement is nearly silent, and seems to have minimal hand slop. The second hand on mine is pretty much lined up, enough that I'm happy with it. I'm not seeing any indices that are misaligned, and the magnifier seems effective. At around $50ish it's a no brainer given the movement, lume, and general nice finishing- but for much more I'd start to feel like the case could be nicer. It's not necessarily lightweight, but it feels slightly less robust than other brands around the $80-100 price point.If you're looking for a really hefty case and bracelet, this might not fully satisfy. But if you plan on using different straps and want a nicer overall bezel and some amazing lume, this one's a very strong contender. If something were to happen to this one, I don't think I'd hesitate to get another.

All in all, a nice copy/homage to a Rolex Sub for the budget minded or those that simply don't want to spend the cash for the genuine thing. Fit and finish seem just fine, and the lume is quite nice. It was easy taking links out of the bracelet and getting it to the correct size for my wrist. If you don't care about a sweeping hand, get the quartz and save even more money. Adjusting the time and date are easy just like any two step crown quartz watch, but the screw down crown is disappointing. It's hard to tell if I'm stripping it when screwing it down or it's just machined so poorly. But you'll never know if the threads are lined up and its screwing down or your doing damage. You kind of just go for it. It lacks all the smoothness of every other screw down crown I've owned. Summer will tell just how water resistant this is once I hit the pool.If you're thinking about getting this, just do it. It's cheap, and looks great. Some child worked really hard to make this in China, so why not reward their efforts by throwing a little bit of cash their way.
