Review on Swatch Men's LB153 Quartz Plastic Strap Casual Watch, Black, 12.5 by Amanda Young

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Simple case with a diameter of 25 mm. Ticking noises. Classic quality item.

Exactly what I was looking for. I've loved Once and Twice Again for years, but they were too big for my wrist, or at least for my liking. I would like a smaller version, but I couldn't find it commercially. Glory to online stores! The clock itself ticks loudly, as befits the model. It doesn't bother me personally. The straps are very thin, yes, but they're a nice smooth material with a decent shaping, which speaks for the quality (at least for me). I prefer plastic and resin straps to soft silicone straps, resin straps look cleaner and sharper. Some people seem surprised by its small size: well, it's 25mm in the case, including the crown, and the face itself is 20mm. Yes, he is tiny. I think the arrows and dots next to the numbers should glow in the dark, but I don't. Maybe they didn't absorb enough sunlight, or they're just defective, we'll see. Although the numbers are very clear. Can't comment on durability as I only received it 2 days ago, but all my samples have lasted quite a while. Fingers crossed for that.

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • I'm concerned
