First Impressions and Operating
When I first opened the air mail packet I was a little disappointed. Instead of a nice metal bezel I find a cheap as crap plastic flimsy mess. The four push buttons are over sensitive and rattle whenever you move your wrist. The overall build quality of this item is shockingly poor. Expect it to break within 6 months.
This watch never came with any instructions so setting this thing up is a frustrating challenge.
A feature on this watch is a multicoloured backlight. With a touch of a button you can summon up green, red, blue, orange, shitty brown and finally a whole medley of them all.
This could be regarded as a nice little bonus and it would be if it wasnt so crap!
The problem is that the LED which provides the light is set centrally under the glass and so when the light comes on it only really lights up the middle of the display?! crap.

One nice touch is the reverse LCD display which shows white numbers on a black background. This looks nice in the daylight but a pain to see at night with the crappy LED backlight coverage. So this watch is really no good at night.! ha ha


 You can have a green backlight


Or a red backlight


Or a blue backlight

And there are more colours to choose from including a rather strange multicoloured flash which is somewhat distracting. It's good that you have so many choices. Shame about the LED.

This watch could be so much better. it's a nice design with some nice ideas but it's been cobbled together by amateurs.
It only cost a quid so you really can't be too harsh on it I suppose.
Probably a nice little stocking filler for a 7 year old
