The watch arrived in a modest box enclosed in cellophane and bubble wrap. An extra battery was included, a nice touch I think. The time is easy to read because of contrasting hands. The date window is dinky for a face of this size. A star is lost because the stem to set the time has very little resistance so when you push it back in the minute hand moves. You have to be very careful if you want the minutes to be accurate. The second star was lost, and I seriously considered a two star demerit, because the chronograph buttons and subdials are nonfunctional. They are cosmetic. I reread the item description and the wording was vague and a bit misleading . Maybe they are supposed to work and I got a bum watch. Regardless, the chronograph on my watch is not functional. Finally, while the strap is pliable and the buckle works fine, the wide insert makes the watch hard to put on and feel clunky. This feature I thought I would like ended up unnecessary and unwanted. Overall, I am disappointed with this watch. I gave it three stars only because of the extra battery but could’ve made it a two stars easily.

orget dainty dress watches; the OIDEA Punk Leather is for the man who wants his timepiece to make a statement. From the moment you heft its substantial weight in your hand, you know you're holding something far removed from the realm of drugstore specials. The brown leather strap, thick and supple as a well-worn bomber jacket, whispers of vintage motorcycles and weathered briefcases. It's not afraid to get a little dirty, but the polished buckle gleams like a freshly minted coin, reminding you this ain't your average dive bar beater.The watch face itself is a symphony of steely sophistication. The dark dial, punctuated by luminous hands and stark white numerals, has the air of a high-end instrument panel. Forget cutesy chronographs here; these sub-dials are business, their etched markings whispering promises of split-second precision. The mineral glass, clear as a mountain stream, seems impossibly thin, offering an unimpeded view of the intricate clockwork within. It's a subtle detail, but one that speaks volumes about the watch's quality.Speaking of quality, the Quartz movement keeps time with the unwavering resolve of a Swiss banker. No finicky battery changes or temperamental self-winding here. This is a timepiece you can set and forget, confident it'll never let you down. And let's not forget the water resistance - 30 meters, they say. Enough to withstand a downpour or a vigorous handwashing, but not an invitation to join you for a deep-sea adventure. This is a watch for the boardroom, not the briny deep.Now, about that "Punk" in the name. Don't be fooled by the rebellious moniker. This watch is too refined, too meticulously crafted, to be truly punk. It's more like the sophisticated older brother who borrowed his younger sibling's leather jacket and somehow made it look impossibly chic. It's the perfect blend of rugged good looks and understated luxury, a watch that says, "I know what I'm worth, and I'm not afraid to show it."
