It looks horribly crafted to me. Look at the close-up of the finishing on the hands here: https://assets.bwbx.io/images/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/ibkZQA68NpX... . Look at the uneven thickness of the hour hand, the roughness of the finish around the screw, the uneven application of paint on the font. This is shoddy at best. A $50 automatic Seiko has more finesse than that. Don't even get me started on a completely generic fashion watch dial design and the scratch magnet bezel.

Even the printing on the face looks terrible (top of the E and X in Timex).

Weirdly enough, the E in America has the same bite taken out of the top of it as the E in Timex

Makes me wonder if that close-up is a shot of a fake Timex.

Wow, great catch! That is absolutely shameful.
