I've never been a man who goes in for accessorising and a watch to me is something that tells the time.I suppose I'm old fashioned in the sense that I grew up in an age where everyone wore analogue watches - there were no gadgets or even digital clocks when I was a kid to let you know the time (apart from the speaking clock!)My trusty Sekonda watch's battery ran out during lockdown and the only people open who could replace it would have sent the watch away for a week and the cost was more than the watch was worth ... so I began looking for a replacement watch. I would have squirmed had the cost been above £50.I saw this Bayer watch - not a name I'm familiar with - and after comparing with a few dozen others, kept coming back to it as the best looking, best reviewed and well inside my budget - so it became the winner.It is simply a beautiful watch. It has so far kept perfect time and, despite saying I don't go in for accessorising, I like the look and feel of this watch on my wrist.The only minor niggle I have is that there should be instructions for the chronograph and tachymeter functions. The so-called instructions, which are only about setting the time, are just awful. Not only is the font impossibly small, but several models of watch are illustrated, each with near enough identical instructions, (which are only legible with the aid of a magnifying glass), for just altering the hands.It's worth pointing out that there is a warning about not changing the date between 9pm and 1 a.m. because that can damage the date-changing mechanism, so that was worth knowing when it gets to months with 30 days or fewer in them!However, I can't take away half a star and the watch is as illustrated and described. Looks good, feels nice, is easy to read at a glance - including a decent size date box - and keeps perfect time. It ticks all the boxes, (pun intended), so 5 stars it is!

This is a good looking watch, and keeps good time, have had no issues, but only owned for a short time, in conclusion it's a good budget watch to wear daily

A good everyday watch keeps the time okLooks good when it’s worn a few people have said they like it so far so good

I wasn't expecting much for £35 odd but am really quite astonished at the result. So two weeks in as I was worried about bits falling off etc as in other reviews. But overall very well presented in box with guarantee and instructions, superb leather strap and I think Sapphire glass (?) although experts my say otherwise. I like watches, would like a collection of really expensive ones of course, but this is a very nice looking watch indeed and looks much more expensive than it is. Small issues? The date is is very small and tricky to read, and I reckon I've gained about 20 seconds in two weeks? So what, I have a Mondaine if I want dead accuracy. Really good highly recommend. I might buy more.

Got it today, I’ve bought other cheap watches but this looks cheap and feels cheap. Stop timer dials do not reset to zero. Good point nice leather strap shame about the watch. Looks nice in the pictures. It’s going back the same day I bought it pity it arrived sat so have wait till Monday. Don’t buy you’ll just send it back.

Well what can I say?I bought this watch to go travelling, as I did not to any to wear an expensive watch, due to potential issues , within uncertain countries.I absolutely love these watches, they look and feel fantastic.I have now purchased two and going to buy another one, I genuinely love them, you can change the styles etc to suit your look.I have worn them out and everyone remakes on them and all love them.I am a complete fan and convert, they look and as I said feel fantastic, cannot compliment them enough.Top top job guys and thanks for these great watches m, love them

Great every day watch with looks that goes just as good with a dressed up night out. Nice size case not over chunky but chunky enough. Lovely suede leather(ette) strap and very comfy. I liked mine so much as did my 18yr old son I've ordered this 2nd 1 for him for Christmas.. he's not a big watch wearer but at the cost of this i don't mind. 👍

The combination of blue face, brown leather and silver buttons give it a nice, balanced look. I would have liked it to have been a little bigger, but I can tell the time without my reading glasses and that's important. Perfect time keeping.
