Ronda, Swiss excellence, a fiver from Cousins.
They have some quality quartz movements but, in terms of their total range, the 515 wouldn't be in their "best of" portfolio. Just found it funny, considering the nonsense coming out of that sellers mouth; they genuinely count on you knowing nothing about the watch world.
Invicta are such a nonsense company, you can pick up a diver from them with an NH35 Seiko mechanical movement for under $70 and then they put out stuff like that one in the video for over a grand, after "70% discount"..."predatory" would be the word.

So many companies like Invicta advertising a Swiss movement only for it to be the Ronda one jewel and a huge plastic spacer in the case...a fool and his money and all that.
Wear in good health.
Timekeeping stats on the new Lum-Tec (basically, a nerd alert. humour me, I'm trying to stay busy somehow). It's quartz, so it's not horrible of course...mainly posting for those interested what folks may be getting on a certain movement, which may be none of you. ?
It always matters to me, to a certain extent. After all, it's a watch, its whole purpose is to keep time. I'm only disappointed if it's about 15 or more secs a day on a brand new watch and I'll take them in for adjustment if it gets to 20 or more, as that's unacceptable for me.
Worn almost 24/7 since May 8th until today.
Watch: Lum-Tec - Combat B53 'Max Darkness'
Movement: Ronda 7004.B
WatchCheck app stats, avg loss/gain at the very bottom (Rhonda lists avg loss as -10 to +20 per month, so it's currently smashing that):

A recent B-day and job promotion coupled with a penchant for spending money on redundant items resulted in this:
Looks great! How do you like it?
I’ve had my eyes on a CW—but needed to put on hold while saving my shekels for a big home renovation project
Very envious - had my eye on that but went for the moonphase instead. Great watches for the price. I’ve got an old trident C60 that I’m thinking about trading in so I can get this but on the strap rather than bracelet.
They sell the bracelet separately on their website so you can always add it later. In the USA (and perhaps elsewhere) you can always find a 125$ off coupon code online so be sure to look before purchasing.
Having owned a lot of watches, I can say this is is a great value and purchase. Great build-quality and feel. Highly recommend
happy birthday, btw!
