bought this as a beater-watch. one to wear in situations where i don't want to risk damaging one of my more expensive pieces, and i'm very pleased with the quality on offer at the price.the movement's nothing special, they say it's a japanese quarts, so probably a Miyota, which is a decently reliable movement that keeps time well.construction quality on the housing is good, though given the movement inside it could be a little thinner.the glass is fine, can't expect any better than what you're getting at this price.the design is obviously derivative, but has a nice, classic look.the strap so far seems to be quite good, soft, supple and pliable out of the box. no softening needed. time will tell how durable it is, though the lugs might break first.the only real complaint i have is that the days need to be set every day, as it rotates between chinese and latin script. though that can be ignored if you just don't care that your watch says "saturday" in chinese on what might be a thursday.not the best purchase in the world, but at $22 this is a 5-star watch.
