I've always wondered about these plastic watches - there seems to be so many of them out there now. Anyways, I had the chance to obtain one for review and I must say that I'm glad I didn't pay for it!

The plastic that makes up the band is super 'cheapo' feeling - it reminds me of legos toy building blocks. The face is quite large but easy to read and it was easy to set both the time and the date. So far (it's been a few weeks) the watch has stayed on accurate time, so as far as the mechanics of the time piece it seems okay.

To me the major flaw is the overall cheapness of the plastic materials. I would never wear this out in public. I offered it to my almost 7 year old and she rejected it in favor of her timex with a stretchy fabric band that glows in the dark.

I also find it odd that the claimed manufacturers price is $495(?) If you do a basic internet search the going price is the same as what Amazon has it listed for, with a handful of other vendors selling it just under $100. To me this seems like a $20.00 watch at most. I've seen watches at Target and other discount stores for less that seem better quality.

I suggest you pass on this item - cheap, tacky plastic band with basic time piece. NOT worth the price unless you get it for under $20.00 (and even then you may be disappointed...)
