Nice! Looks like Aliexpress watches are gaining popularity. I've also ordered one lately and it's on the way. Just curious, how long did it take to arrive for yours?
10 days routed via Singapore. Sorry for the late reply.

Just bought a Swatch Sistem51 yesterday. So far it's keeping good time +/- 1s checked at various times. Would you wear a cheap plastic Swiss automatic? Considering Seiko 5 is significantly cheaper.

each to its own i guess and there's nothing wrong with wearing an inexpensive watch as long as the wearer/owner feels good about it. by the way, what movement is the Sistem51 - is it 2824-2?
The movement is not a standard ETA but is manufactured by ETA specially for Swatch. It is disposable after 10-20 years.

blink.gif what do you means by disposal?

as it, after the prescribed period, the movement itself will "die"?

Disposable as in it cannot be serviced and is sealed into the watch case. The movement is welded together with rivets instead of screws.

I can't find good watch straps easily anymore since a few years back. Also bought from Nomad, JamMayMay, Daiso, Shopee, Amazon, etc. I have one from Etsy that is nice, a stingray.
