SKMEI 1163 Dual-Time Analog-Digital Sport Watch — Black & Blue

The SKMEI 1163 is unapologetically a sport watch: big buttons, black-and-electric-blue casework, analog hands over a digital display, and more functions than you'd expect at this price point. This example is running and the illumination works. It offers dual-time capability, day/date, alarm and chronograph functions in a chunky 44mm case with a black and blue PU strap. There is normal cosmetic wear from use, including light wear to the crystal and caseback. Not haute horology. Definitely fun—and sometimes that's exactly the point.

What I Like About This Watch

This thing has personality. The electric-blue accents, layered analog/digital dial and oversized sport-watch architecture make it look like it takes itself much more seriously than its price suggests. It's exactly the kind of inexpensive oddball I enjoy finding—interesting doesn't have to mean expensive.
