BRIGADA Men's Watches Cool Black Blue Business Casual Waterproof Quartz Analog Wrist Watch for Men

It's a watch. You want to know what time it is? The watch tells you what time it is. Not much to say there aside from it does its thing. The price screams basic, but the watch itself screams premium.Packaging is very basic, but comes with a nice 58 page tiny manual that comes with many different languages. Now that's premium, you don't get that attention to detail these days when you buy something cheap.The glass is very susceptible to fingerprints, but they do include a nice cloth to wipe it if it ever bothers you.The 20mm strap looks and feels a bit filmsy, however given the price when I purchased this ($5.99), I can't really complain. Will be replacing current straps sometime in the near future should the watch stand well against the test of time.Overall, this watch was worth my time and money :)

Brigada's watch has a thin sleek black case and an automatic movement with contrasting colors for the narrow tapered hands that offset the beautiful blue polished dial with gold hour marks. I have seen many reviews that list watch movements getting slow or non-functioning within weeks or months of purchase, this is because the BATTERY is old and needs to be replaced in my experience, not because the watches movement isn't working.Some of the features of the watch that I like are the wide beveled reverse (1/4 inch) of the watch case which helps raise the thin case slightly above your wrist for a better visual and comfort for your wrist. The blue dial helps you see the time in low light without glare. A very affordable price, at the time of this review this watch was only $15.00, compared to other minimalist watches I have seen that have the same features starting at $100 to over $500.The only flaw with this watch is the wristband which is hard to remove as the first holding strap is too close to the buckle. What I have done is put the wristband over that strap and used the second retaining strap to hold in the wristband with no problem. This is my third Brigada watch stepping away from there more artsy designs they have encompassed both style and quality, not bad, easy to read the time and a beautiful design, super fast one day delivery and well packed, highly recommended.

This is a great value, but I did have to replace the battery after a few months. I used my phone as a magnifying glass to read the ID on the battery. It is SR626SW and can be purchased here.

The watch is beautiful with a large, deep blue face and brown faux leather band. I recently had my wrist measured for a clothes fitting and the seamstress told me I have an average sized wrist, for an adult male, at under 7.5 inches. The strap for the watch closes on the second hole and then just barely tucks under the closures to keep it secured to my wrist. If your wrist is smaller, you won't have an issue but if you need to use the first hole (1/4" larger wrist) the band won't close properly making the watch unwearable without purchasing another band. This was a great price at $10 and 'reads' well from the wrist, so I'm happy with my purchase. The four stars is for the band that isn't going work for everyone. The seller needs to post the watch dimensions and the length of the band.

The watch looks nice and I'm glad it looked just as good if not better in person than the pictures. However, after a few months I noticed the time was falling behind. I thought it was the battery so I put a new one in and tried to reset the time, but then I noticed the hands were getting caught on the roman numerals because the hands must have been bent sightly down and the numbers were raised. This made it impossible to set the time and even if I could it kept getting stuck on one number essentially freezing time.You get what you pay for. This thing is cheap. It looks nice and the cheap band held up pretty well but in the end it's still a $10 China watch.
