one of those tic tach toc gauge watches

So I got excited about the cheap watches on ebay that have the tic tach toc on the watch. You know the ones that are like $3 plus $17 shipping from Hong Kong. Well to be expected it was complete junk. Save your coins or donate it to your Old's friends for gas money. These watches are terrible. Now that I got that off my chest I think I will go looking for parts lol. Al

I got mine a while ago. My experience is not that bad. It certainly isn't a Rolex, but for $17 (with shipping), it is a perfectly fine watch.

I wasn't expecting a Rolex. Guess in the end I got what I was expecting. Just hoped it wasn't going to feel as cheap as the price. Pretty tacky no pun intended. Lol.

I sure am glad I don't wear a watch... Never tempted to stay up with the new trends every few months/years... For the most part I don't usually care what time it is... If I need to know the time, my phone and vehicle clocks work just fine...

Man I wish I didn't have to rely on a watch. I am in sales and it's a must have. Yes I could pull out a phone to check the time but it's easier to glance at a watch. My summary on these car gauge watches is I think I would have paid more to get something better. That's it! Al 🙈

X2, I was 43 years in sales and I feel naked without a watch I've been using the same style Timex for probably 20+ years. Three years or so and I break the crystal or the band and get a new one for 30 bucks and press on for another three years. I ain't styling but I can tell you the time of day... Tedd

Only the last 25 yrs. in sales for me, but have been wearing a watch for a lot longer. Timex was it until about 18 yrs ago. Ponied up for a Citizen unit and am on my second one. I can hardly read those tiny #'s on my flip phone anyway, ha.

I had a rent house once as well, Never again. Renters Suck for the most part.
All the ones I rented to anyway.
