replyIs this trolling or are you serious? Those are all, imo, hideous! They are blocky and unrefined and like they’re uncomfortable to wear.
replyWhile I wouldn't call them ugly, I agree that they look just like, well, watches to me. I wouldn't pay a premium for any of them.

Stranger: "Random cheap brand I found on Amazon."
If you've never heard of Omega, Rolex, etc, chances are you won't be able to distinguish a cheap watch from an expensive watch. It's just the brand.
(OK, OK, chances are the material is a lot better - scratchproof, etc - but probably still costs less than 10% to make than what they sell for).
Where do you think the Aliexpress Timex designs came from?
