Review on Disney W000914 Tween Minnie Stainless by Bud Crabtree

This watch looks really good on the picture but is fantastic in person! It comes in an adorable little Disney character gift box. Open the box and the watch just shines! Everything but Minnie and the numbers is shiny or glittery. I've had them for about two months and they're still wearing them. I'm deducting a star for an issue that almost all watchmakers, including this company, tend to overlook; how much abuse the hinges have to endure. This is perhaps the hardest working external watch component. They are the first to rub against any surface, they are pulled every time you put the watch on or off, and the second loop, due to the fact that it is free, always slips off the end of the strap and must be pulled return. high. Because of the long lifespan of these tapes, they start to wear out within a few weeks. The edges of my bows have already lost all color, and the second bow lost almost all of the shine and color on the edges and one side. It also begins to unravel. I'll try to find a way to fix this myself, but I'd like companies to cover these hinges with a durable plastic coating to give them an extra layer of weather protection.
