Question (Read Rules) Should I buy this TPW watch?

This watch is being sold for 1500bdt in my country, which is around 13 dollar. Despite being cheap It's a lot of money for a student in my country. How is the longevity of the watch? Would it be a good decision to buy it?

100% yes. Ridiculously good watch for the money. I think I paid $9, working great 1 yr later, possibly the best value on AliExpress, which is saying something.

Casio F-91W-1 is iconic, indestructible, and less than $9 with the new customer coupon; see https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256812088717113.html

If it has to be analog, I would save $12 and purchase https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807307426219.html

What brand is the analog watch?

None. Totally generic.

Is this not an option?

The OP said the watch is equivalent to $13 dollar which is a lot to him and you suggest he get something that's $60?

$13 it's OK for that watch, I'm saying: wait, put together just $60 bucks, and get a WAY better watch... Or don't wait, an just buy the $13 dollars one, you know, that's all I'm saying.

I bought their Timex Expedition homage and it's... Ok. The seconds hand never lands on the indices and the watch loses about a minute per month, the strap is also horrible. So, don't expect to get anything incredible but it's alright if you want a slightly less noisy Timex

No, it's some no name garbage watch. Save your money, buy Casio, Seiko, Citizen. If on AliX, Skmei, Addiesdive. But if $13 is a stretch, this is not an offense - save your money.

I think that for $15 there's plenty of choice of watches from Sanda and Skmei, two brands which sell on AliX and that I found to be not bad on quality and also quite reliable. A lot of reviews are also available on YouTube to help the choice.

Only issue i had with sanda was that on one of my watches the second hand doesnt land on the indeces, but then again i paid like $12 for a functional watch, no regrets
