They can be had for very cheap and they are built to last. Engine is excellent and keeps good track of time +/- 1 min per month or so. Reserve is about 48 hrs. Stainless steel band is amazing quality. Check it out I think you will like it.

Many of the Rados use a lower grade ETA movement with 21600bph. Better watches can be had for the same price with a better movement IMO

The style on these isnt bad, but the movements are crap. 21j japanese movements with low bph. If you are in the $100 and under price range, there are some better watches to be had.

I agree, most there watches are eh. Only one id consider are their higher end ones using the swiss movements. The Pro Diver 9937 used an ETA 2824 in older models and now uses the Sellita SW200. Movements are almost identical, have 28,800bph and are swiss made, robust movements. Can be found new for under $300 and used for under $200.
