A year and seven months on it is working without fault. The time keeping is almost as good as my Seiko titanium Sport100 quartz. It still looks as good as the day it arrived. I really like this watch. It has proved far better than the money paid. Just an update on my orange Alpha.

I wanted to see how bad Alpha watches are. They are not as bad as John made them out to be. They are of course not a patch on the real thing either. I feel they offer good build against price paid.

I wanted to see for myself a Alpha up close. Cost £28.00. Delivery 5 days to UK. Six months on it keeps very good time, has not wound down. The case and strap are stainless steel with good weight. The strap uses screws not pins. The glass though not saphire is glass/ crystal and very clear. The luminous markers and hands are very bright and last. I own a Seiko, Citizen, and a Rolex Sea Dweller and love them all. I would put the Alpha in the same class as the Seiko and Citizen in terms of build and quality. Angry, no, rather pleased! 67 times less than the well known swiss watch it looks like. I am sure not 67 times inferior in terms of build/ quality and time keeping. Its only fault, looking like a well known Swiss watch! April 21st, 2007 at 7:56 pm
