Positive points:

  • Widely validated aesthetics (6/11)“Lovely”, “elegant”, “stunning”, “spectacular”… the dial does the job.Special mention to the black/gold contrast and the sundial → clearly a purchase trigger.
  • Good value for money (2/11 explicit, but implicit in 4–5 reviews)Users know what they are buying. And they accept compromises.Basically: “at this price, OK”.
  • Strap comfort (1/11)No hair pinching → detail, but revealing vs old A700 type models.
  • Correct visual finishes (2/11)Satin effect, not too “cheap”, sandblasted dial appreciated.
  • Sufficient functionality (1–2/11)Nothing exceptional, but it does the job. No major frustration.

Negative points:

  • Fragile glass / scratches (1/11)“Very cheap glass” → that’s the real weak point.And often, when one says it… others mean it.
  • Average metal quality (2/11)Overall feeling: correct, nothing more.We are clearly on the entry/mid-range.
  • Backlight criticized (1/11)Absence or weakness → gadget for some, annoying for others.

Shared/mixed points:

  • The very marked designSome people love the contrasting and sunny side.Others... well, they don't say it outright, but radio silence → that doesn't please everyone.
  • Price vs. quality positioningAccepted by the majority.But implicitly: “you shouldn’t be too demanding either”.

Advice :

Clearly? If you want a watch that is visually impactful, inexpensive, and hassle-free → go for it.

But... if you're the type to scrutinize the details, to want solid glass, premium metal - wrong target. Frankly.

It's a pleasure watch. Not a “flawless long-term” watch.

In short, you buy it for the style. Not for durability.
