I was targeting the Fiyta GA8500.HBH since quite some time, but the retail price in my opinion was always too steep compared to the watch quality. Finally I saw this Massdrop offer at 499 USD and I got it ! It's few weeks that I am enjoying the Fiyta now and I am quite happy to have it part of my space watches collection. Once in my hands, the watch confirmed what I read in several forums: quality is a bit shaky. The watch arrived with a small scratch on the bezel: it's not very visible but it's there. The bracelet is far form being the best bracelet you can buy, a bit loose and with pins that appear not very strong and sturdy. The butterfly clasp is not opening easily. The push buttons are having a strange feeling when pressed: sometimes very smooth and sometimes hard and eventually producing an uncomfortable click. The screw down crown is unlocking turning it clockwise instead of the usual anticlockwise and to locked it back is a bit of an adventure, since the thread is not the most precise you can find. The lume is what it is, typically chinese quality quite weak. Last, but not least, I have more than a doubt on the "limited edition" serial number. In fact, although I have no proof, I suspect that the watch is time to time re-issued, starting again the numbering. Said that, the watch itself is stunning, with its titanium case and bracelet, the dial with the space mission coloured subs. Very particular is the AM/PM window. The case back is obviously special and is having also its fascination. The mechanism for the time being looks accurate and it's charging with very minimal movement. The chrono function is pretty much ok and resets to zero perfectly. I am certainly satisfied of the Fiyta GA8500.HBH and I would buy it again, although I can say that it's more of a collector item rather than a daily beater.
