I started out looking for a good kick-around watch. Wanted waterproof and durable, and an alarm was a nice-to-have option. I'll be wearing it when doing yard work and other rough stuff, like backpacking, canoeing, etc. Things I use my nice watch for, but would rather not.
After reading all the reviews for this one and for the one with the white face, I decided to go for it. For under $50, how could I go wrong, and most seemed to have good experiences.
Got it in usual super fast fashion, thanks to Amazon Prime. Pulled it out of the box and it is really a beautiful watch. Not too big, light, but with some good heft.
But the crown wouldn't push all the way in. No matter what I tried, it just wouldn't work.
So, reluctantly, I boxed it up and sent it back. And went back onto Amazon to order another one, this time paying extra for the expedited delivery.
Got that one, and everything was perfect. Looked great, fit great, all the functions worked great. Until a few hours later, I noticed that the second hand (that functions as the chronograph second hand) wouldn't re-set to zero. It was about 1/2 second off. Again, I tried everything, but couldn't get it to zero out. In fact, when the chronograph was working the second hand was 1/2 second off all around. So, for example, at 1 second, the hand was at 1/2 second. At 10 seconds it was at 9 1/2 seconds. And so on.
That may be a very nit picky reason to reject the watch, but my feeling is if something small is wrong, what's next?
So I just boxed THAT one up and will send it back today. And I'll be out the expedited shipping cost.
Should I order a third one and take a chance? I don't think so. I've always been a "you get what you paid for" guy, and I think that may be the case here. A deal that turned out to be too good to be true.
