For today’s watch review, I am checking out the BINBOND Men’s Wristwatch (B2521).
BINBOND is a well-known Chinese watch manufacturer that sells its watches on many retail outlets for low prices. In fact, it’s what makes BINBOND watches so attractive to watch collectors who collect low cost Quartz watches is the fact that they are homage of luxury watches.
The watch is provided in blue, black and white (silver) which features day/date, roman numerals on the 15 min. markers and with these crystal like markers on the five minute marks.
I am reviewing the white version which features a pretty luxurious style of steel band (made of 316L stainless steel) and BINBOND says the watch features their latest upgraded scratch resistant coating on the crystal.
First, it comes with a tool, so you can adjust to your wrist size. The stainless steel band is really easy to adjust, but I do recommend having a watch tool set because while it does come with a tool, it helps to have that small hammer to strike the tool for the pin to come out and to adjust really quickly.
Easy to change the time by pulling out the crown out all the way to adjust time, halfway to adjust week/date.
The watch hands does feature luminous hands, but I needed to charge the luminosity with my UV flashlight.
The watch is 30M (100 feet) water resistant but my feeling as a watch collector and owner is one should never wear a wristwatch underwater or showering. Especially for a cheaper watch which probably may end up in fogging.
Of course, in terms of aesthetics, it looks like a damn cool watch! But of course, when purchasing a BINBOND, you know right off the bat that you are getting a Quartz watch (runs on a battery, not by force) and you will have to change out the battery possibly every year. So, if you start to notice a lag in time, it’s time to change the battery (not hard to do it yourself, but quicker if you visit your local jeweler for battery replacement).
Just do your due diligence on pricing for the watch and it may be a watch that is worth checking out!
