CADISEN Mechanical skeleton wrist watch: https://aliexpress.com/item/1005008839829402.html (paid around 44€ after all the discounts).
I'm not a big fan of "smart" watch fad since I'm not some autist who absolutely needs to calculate his steps, analyze his sleeping graphs or charge his wrist watch every day so I always tend to wear classic "dumb" wrist watches that just show me the damn time with no random bullshit like synchronizing with shitCloud or downloading hindu security updates.
I already had a wrist watch in classic metallic colour steel strap so I wanted a black watch to match darker clothing. This specific model cought my eye because I read some good reviews about the CADISEN brand itself as being cost/quality king and also the skeleton see-through design simply looked cool.
Now that the watch arrived and is on my wrist, I have some conflicting thoughts on the skeleton (see-through) design. Yes, it looks cool, but it isn't very practical since it acts as a distraction. When I want to steal a quick glance at the time, it takes me an extra second to visually locate the hour and minute hands. Also, don't expect to see all the visible cogs turning. Most of them move veeery slowly by design so basically you will only see movement on the lower left cog (the one encased in "21 JEWELS AUTOMATIC" case).
I would have also prefered if they were more generous with the luminous (glow in the dark) coating. Only the white tips of hour and minute hand are coated with it.
I was just a bit concerned about the dial case diameter potentially being too big since I have slim wrists and my current wrist watch has only a 37mm dial case diameter while the CADISEN watch was at 42mm. Luckily it turned out fine and this size doesn't seem to look too gargantuan on my wrist.
It will probably take me some time to get used to this watch, but for now my opinion of it is neutral.
