At the beginning I will write that I did not expect such a quick choice to be reviewed. The first item I applied for and successfully. The parcel also surprised me very positively.
The first impression was very good. Nice, aesthetic and well-polished. Later there were a few drawbacks. Initially, I was afraid of the silver color of the envelope that was assigned to me (not my style), but it turned out to be quite pretty. In addition to indicating the time, the watch has the functions of the time stamp and stopwatch - 3 small dials showing: 1/10 sec, seconds and minutes. And they are not a fake.

The diameter of the watch case is 42 mm. The height of the envelope is 12 mm. The belts are made of two skin colors - beige on the inside and black on the outside. Their length is 7 cm and 12 cm. Overall length 25.5 cm. The holes on the strap give the circumference of the watch after fastening from 18.5 cm to 23 cm. Length adjustment using 7 holes. There are two loops on the belt. One of them is sewn permanently - the other is movable.

Belt stitching is done precisely. There are no protruding threads. A very nice combination of belt colors. Also nicely selected colors of the watch face. The shield is matte with metalized shiny elements with black inserts.

The first negative impression appeared when setting the time. The minutes are then loose and depending on the tilt of the watch, the position automatically changes by about 4 minutes. This makes the time setting a bit difficult. However, after setting up and starting the watch, everything works just fine. The watch is visible in the normal and up-to-leg position.

The second such moment was the start of the stopwatch. You have to use some force to press the start / stop button. Reset is also hard to press. The strange thing is that the 1/10 rule works correctly for 1 minute and then stops even though the stopwatch still works. Other tips work correctly. After pressing the stop button, the stopwatch stops and the 1/10 s hand moves to some position. Probably in this way, the manufacturer saves the mechanism of the watch. Loudspeaker for the stopwatch is loud.

Minuses:

  • starting the timer requires a strong pull on the trigger
    -a pretty loud stopwatch (second hand)
  • loose minute tip when setting time (visible on photo)
  • a gentle protruding gasket under the reset button of the stopper

Pros:

  • a soft and pleasant to the touch strap
    good pattern
  • good tips

The watch makes a very nice impression and its disadvantages do not affect everyday use. An aesthetic watch, however, at its normal price has a lot of disadvantages. This is my 2nd cadisen watch (I have not described it before) and it seems to me that it is average quality. Previous watches also had loose tips and other shortcomings. Watches of other brands that I ordered do not have loose tips and are at similar and lower prices.

The seller informed me about the shipment. I received the watch but I have not yet confirmed its receipt when I also received a query if I have definitely received the watch. Although it probably stems from the fact of selling as Freebies. Nice contact. I recommend the seller.31044785_2052610985062726_8220854454388260864_o.jpg
