T-ENGINE GMT Watches for Men with 10 ATM Waterproof, Dual Time Track Automatic Charged Wrist Watch, Stainless Steel 43mm Quartz Watch for Men

For the price, this watch is fantastic! A traveler GMT at around $125 with a Seiko kinetic movement and a unique exhibition caseback make this watch one that I'll keep in my collection. To me, this is the epitome of getting a lot in a well crafted budget package.Pros:-This watch with the pepsi bezel with the black dial configuration is gorgeous!! Additionally, the metal bracelet feels like good quality for this price range. It's solid - for me a bit TOO heavy - which helps this feel like a high-quality piece.-Although I shutter at the "T-Engine" logo on the dial (feels a lot like I bought one of those cheap watches with a nonsense name like "CRRJU" or "FIZILI" or "BUREI" you find on Amazon), I'm more concerned with what's under the hood. Hearing the Seiko kinetic movement wind up as I move and seeing it through the exhibition caseback feels like I'm driving a Civic with a racecar motor inside. Just a little secret between me and the watch.Cons:-The finishing is what I'd expect for a watch in this price. On par with brands like Stuhrling, Invicta, etc. but certainly not Seiko, Orient, etc. quality.-I wish so badly that this was a 40mm. I know there are reasons for making a big chunky dive watch in the 43mm range, but at 40mm this would easily be a 5 star product. Sometimes I want to show off a big, chunky watch, but sometimes it's nice to just wear a watch and not feel like it's dominating your wrist. This is just small enough that it isn't cringey to wear, but big enough that I often choose a smaller watch instead.-To combat the weight of this big watch, I've switched to a silicone band. I quite like the look of this diver on a navy silicone band. However, be aware that you'll need a 21mm band for this watch, not a 20mm like the listing says. Not impossible to find, but a 20mm band WILL fall off and 22mm definitely does not fit.Overall, I've seen this watch for as low as $90, but I think I paid about $130 for mine. At either price I think you're getting a beautiful piece that would put those overpriced fashion watches like MVMT or Daniel Wellington to shame. Obviously I would recommend numerous Seiko or Orient models over this one, but once you have those, it's fun to branch into something a bit different.

Overall, the watch appears to be a good value for the price. I've only had it for a couple of weeks & didn't wear it much at first because I couldn't understand the GMT setting process. Now, wearing it regularly, I will decide whether it's worth the money long-term. It's esthetically pleasing & seems to keep time accurately. The instructions are pathetic. I had almost given up on the watch & was ready to return it until I watched several YouTube videos on setting up a GMT watch. It was then that I realized & after experimenting that the GMT hour hand moves in a 1:2 ratio with the local hour hand. Secondly, unlike most GMT watches, the GMT scale is the movable bezel because there is not a fixed 24-hr scale under the crystal. Once I realized that, setting the GMT time was straightforward. In the research process, I learned that there are "travel" GMTs & "office" GMTs, the main difference being that "travel" GMTs allow the local time hour hand to be moved in either direction as well as date setting can be accomplished by turning the crown in either direction, so the T-Engine watch is a true GMT watch that costs under $200. If it continues to give good service, it will have been a good purchase. I agree with other commenters about the difficulty charging the watch to full power. I haven't found a foolproof way to charge it & hope wearing it for several days will do the trick. I'm not sure I understand the function or value of the battery test push button. It seems rather obtrusive for a single-function button & that charge status could have been accomplished with a more subtle button.

Decent homage to a GMT, decent build. The weird "power" reserve button quit working in one day, it's just a gimmick. Other than that its an ok watch for the money, and looks good.

Cons: A bit heavy. Outer bezel only moves in one direction. Pros: Highly accurate due to it actually having a Japanese quartz movement. Rather than a battery the energy is stored in the copper wound capacitor. Hence the weight. Ingenious. I decided to return for the lighter, more expensive true automatic Seiko, with a bi directional bezel. Tough choice Fun watxh.

For the price, it's a great watch. I've had no trouble keeping it charged. Seems to be made well and LOOKS GREAT. Nice heavy build.
