Retro Sci-fi

Well after my first successful and satisfying foray into the world of Skmei watches I thought it would be worth looking at their catalogue of watches.

After a look at the usual fare of Casio look-alikes and smart watches I decided that I already had the best one for me...

And then I saw it! A watch firmly styled like a throwback to 60's sci-fi. I couldn't resist the quirky nature and at £15 on AliExpress it wasn't going to break the bank.

Stainless steel bracelet and case (I think they are telling porkies). Surprisingly comfortable to wear. The biggest suprise? I really like it. Fun, quirky, comfortable and inexpensive.

Integrated bracelet!

I presume you will claim that you quickly get used to abacus counting to tell time.

Yeah that had me a bit puzzled to start with. Got the hang of it after a few minutes. It's still more legible than some traditional watches I could mention 🤣

Noice! Definitely a conversation starter, even among non watch folk, I'd say. Good find, enjoy!

This is a rather intuitive, as this sort of thing goes, arrangement. I'm pretty sure there are utterly baffling ones around. Tokyo Flash tends to delight in that.
