I was going to say it looks like a $500 micro...and then I realized it is.

No shortage of people hating on the quartz movement.
I love asymmetric cases, and could have been tempted by this, but the hands being so out of proportion make it a no go.

The case looks like a lump of coal (or shit if your drink too much pepto).

AKA Benrus Type 1 Vietnam era US issued watch. (The Paradive is a copy). Marathon also make versions of this. Its a heavily copied watch.

I think the black case was a well intentioned idea that's backfired. It looks like plastic.

The marathon is a black plastic case and feels like it’s a throwaway. Not a bad watch if you need it for work but it’s overpriced.

Not plastic...

Benrus .... but Degaz made a decent copy as did Smiths/Precista and off course Bill Y and DNS. The Marathon steel version is cool too.
