Pretty boring. Looks like a sub-$100 watch. One of the endless Armitron offerings at Walmart. I wouldn't waste my money on it.

why?

Well your previous 5 posts here were to promote an obscure watch band seller out of Madrid and now this company, who apparently has ties to the same watch band seller. I have nothing against self promotion, but doing it by representing oneself as a buyer, and not the seller is pretty low.

Not a great photo - apologies - but I have enjoyed this Marloe GMT Day watch recently:
