Review of Troika Unisex Miami watch #XWAT32BK

This is a beautiful watch, and so far it has kept good time, but the seconds dial at the bottom is already malfunctioning.When used in the chronometer mode, it resets to 4 instead of 0.A minor glitch, but hopefully not indicative of things to come.The fit and finish is excellent, but don't let that fool you into believing you are getting that quality in internal parts.This is a quartz model, with a battery, and I would not invest in an automatic at these prices.I would also choose one of the less expensive and simpler models without the chronometer function.For one thing, the buttons to activate it feel "iffy," like they are binding on something internal.Chronometers are complicated anyway, and just something else to go wrong in an inexpensive watch.

As I said, it does seem to be keeping good time, and I can't really say enough about how good this watch looks.It reminds me of the much more expensive IWC Pilot's watches. As long as you view it as a "fashion" watch, it is a nice one, but I don't know how dependable it will be in the long run.
