I did a SEK to USD. The prices are not bad for what they are; however, I try to stay away from quartz.

I do think it's pretty cool you work for a watch company.

Yea, most "watchnerds" kinda go for brands really. This brand Tajms is our own that we import from Kina. At the start like 35 years ago the quality wasnt that good, but today for what the price is its really good watches! :)

I prefer autos tbh, nothing wrong with not as known brands if the quality is there!

Yep rugged and tough. Some have cool features like solar too. Don’t have to worry about breaking them that’s for sure.

yeah, I have a nice stainless steel one. I do not wear it as much now that I am in an office setting. I do enjoy wearing my Ocean Crawler watch as well. They are pretty good and sometimes they can be had on a deal, but they are a microbrand so they can be pricey.

A good way to get some cool pieces at a good price. Build quality is good enough but not super higher.

Honestly, I do not know enough about the brand, but just by looks. They do not say what type of quartz movement it is. That tells me it is most likely some cheap Chinese movement.

Swiss
Japan
China

As far as mass-produced movements are concerned IMO.

I think the watches are overpriced, but you like what you like. For that much, I would look at Deep Blue watches or plenty of other brands.

The one Dragnars posted is cheaper and seems to be of better quality.

They are not going anywhere. I believe they own Omega, Tissot, and Longines as far as their brands that I know.

I could be wrong on Tissot, but I do not think that I am.

I talk crap about Invictas from time to time, but this is actually a good deal on a automatic watch.

https://smile.amazon.com/...26&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

The higher-priced Invictas if they have an NH35 movement in them are decent as well during this sale. I would advise against buying them if they are not on sale. I don't wear Invicta but if someone is looking for an entry-level watch this is not a bad deal.

If you do not mind the strap, this is actually a great deal. It is on the smaller side, but it is the size watches use to be before people made them huge.

If your sundial does not work at night, call your work colleague and you will definitely hear the answer - "brujodale why the hell are you calling me at 4 am!"
