The Breakdown

  • Oversized cases hiding cheap Miyota movements
  • Marketing sells luxury, delivers mall-watch vibes
  • Chinese assembly, name borrowed from 19th century
  • Poor QC, frequent reports of failing within a year
  • One-time purchase, no subscriptions or apps

Side Effects

wrist looking like a dinner plate, timekeeping optional
