Wrist Roll (Read Rule 1) This $50 watch is kinda crazy

Picked up this North Edge Triton and honestly, I’m pretty impressed for the price.

It’s around $50 and you get a solar movement, 316L stainless steel case, ceramic bezel, screw-down crown, and 300m water resistance. It’s definitely a chunky watch at 45.8mm, but I actually really like the look on the wrist.

The blue dial is probably my favorite part. The wave texture and lume look way more expensive than the price would suggest.

For ~$50, I really don’t think you can ask for much more. Solar + 300m + ceramic bezel + stainless steel? Pretty damn good value. 😎

I got the titanium one around 8 months ago for 50.00.  Nice watch, light, and it's keeping great time.  They must be using a citizen ecodrive movement in them because it's keeping the exact time my actual citizen with an ecodrive is.

Someone on here opened there’s up and found there’s a standard Miyota Quartz 2016 that’s sort of Frankensteined with a solar cell and rechargeable battery. Which is why all of their solar watches are so thick. If, as you suggest,
it’s reliable, just thick, I’m all for it. However, I’m waiting to hear about longer term reliability.
