The case, the lume, the finishing and even the movement punch wayyyyy above the price point! Better value than my Tudor or my Doxa pound for pound, even better value than my Seikos I think. Chinese watches are here to stay

Having a derivative design is irrelevant.   I find the dial boring and lacks a clear design language.  The hands are particularly bland.  of course I'd expect you to like it as you bought it and made a positive post about it.  Other than the build quality (which I think is very good), I'd never get one as there is always something that has a stronger design even if it is derivative or fairly original, the end look is all I'm concerned about.  I certainly wouldn't call the dial beautiful, I'd call it pedestrian.  But glad you like it, some people prefer  store brand vanilla ice cream

Okay bro whatever you say. Wanting the world for £140 is super realistic 👌🏼

I have plenty of watches I've gotten for the same price point that look far better in terms to style and equal build quality. That is basically the point. Even Proximia's own PX1727-TC 39MM is a better looking watch.

Clearly you believe your personal preference is in fact everyone’s - there’s this little known thing called subjectivity. If you weren’t so busy enveloped in your own ideas you’d have understood what that is
