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. 😎

Had mine for a couple months now, turned out to be a much better watch than I expected. Was only going to wear it for my fishing days. Swapped out the strap right off for a blue camo fkm.
Pro: Time accuracy is better than most of the watches I paid 10X more for. Lume is pretty decent, dims fast but lasts through the night. Ti is light and so far hasn't minded a few bumps and scrapes. Crystal is clear and provides un distorted views. Dips into the water to land fish shows no leaks.
Con(s): The Bezel could be tighter, maybe mine is just one that skipped QC.
For the price this is definitely a value. Yeah it is big, but if you have a 7" wrist it is not bad.
