Quality seems decent. I’m just a little unsure about the dial. I don’t know if the faded dial is defective or supposed to be this way. If the dial is supposed to be this way I’m not sure I like it. The strap is nice for a stock strap. It’s soft and flexible. The overall weight is very light on the wrist. Wearing it for a few hours, it feels good no wrist fatigue at all. The unidirectional bezel is great, very tight and turns really easy. The lume is awesome it’s very bright and easy to see. The bronze is unique and very pleased with the way it looks. Overall I’ll give this 3-4 stars only because I’m still undecided about the dial.
Update 2/18... After spending a week with this timepeice I have decided to give this a solid 4 stars as the dial has really grown on me. It’s so unsual, it’s very nice to look at especially the way the light effects the appearance. The accuracy is amazing at -/+1....That’s exceptional for any price point. Very good timepeice. Would recommend to anyone looking for quality and affordability.
jdfedakYes, it is intentional... It is part of the old patina effect.... This did take me a few days to wrap my mind around what they were trying to do with this. But it has grown on me now....I like it alot.
jdfedakI believe its intentional as they all have it. Perhaps inspired by the Rolex DeepSea which has a blue dial which grows darker towards the bottom to allude to the ocean growing darker as one dives deeper. I've seen the effect on a few dive watches and seems to be growing in popularity.
