This is the only review you need to read about this $16 watch
It's absolutely nuts to me that anyone would give this less than 5 stars. Nitpick much? What kind of wild expectations are people setting for this thing? First of all, it's sixteen dollars. Adjusted for inflation, that's cents on the dollar compared to what it cost at launch. It's practically free. It tells time, and it will continue to do so long after you inevitably lose it. It has an alarm to tell you when to take your pills. It's not necessarily loud enough to get you up in the morning, especially if you're taking pills, but let's be real here, no one uses their watch alarm for anything ever. Sure, the watch strap occasionally tugs at your arm hair a little, which is just a horrifically unbearable, godawful nightmare as you can imagine. And yes, the light is so dim you might absolutely lose your freaking mind having to focus a little harder in order to read the display. But it does have a stopwatch in case you want to play 'who can hold their breath the longest' (if you don't know the rules you should google it. It's really fun). Now this is hard for me to talk about, but this is where this watch really shines so here it goes. I have somewhat dainty wrists. There I said it. But this watch... it's like magic. It ties my whole arm together. It conceals the meagerness of my appendage and unlike with most watches, I don't look like my mother if she were to wear a man's watch. If you have big meaty wrists you would be a fool to buy this watch. So don't go blaming the watch on your poor spacial reasoning. This is also a very lightweight watch. I think that's a good thing but if you need the assurance of heft in your $16 investment, this is not the watch for you. If, however, you are a slim-wristed gentleman in the market for a watch that tells time, looks exactly like the picture, and is at the absolute bottom end of your budget, this is your timepiece.
