SWatch System 51

im on my second swatch system 51. Anybody have the issue of the watch going to fast. I brought back my first one for this reason. I now have the same issue with my second one. I have it around 1.5 years. had the previous one for around 1 year. Dono whether to bring it back or stick in the drawer and get a different brand of automatic watch!

Magnetised maybe? As to whether you want to get another or something else, does it matter to you that these are disposable watches that aren’t designed to be serviced or even fixed? If you like the looks and aren’t bothered by that then work away, otherwise something like a cheap Seiko would be a better choice.

Mine's fine after ~6 months (picked it up from adverts). I'd be happy just to dispose if it did start to run fast.

It's an entry into automatic watches, I don't know if I'd be rushing out to pick up another one. They're nice but flimsy and clearly aren't built to last.

A cheap Seiko automatic or slightly more interesting, a cheap Russian Vostok automatic? Both really are brilliant watches for the money, we are talking a 2 figure sum here. Beer money. A few pints in Dublin, a kebab and a taxi home would cost you as much
