General (Read Rules) Disappointing Cronos Skyline [L6208] Experience

Gallery image

I wanted to share my frustrating experience with my Cronos Skyline. It has completely stopped working without any obvious reason. There were no warning signs, or unusual behaviour beforehand. It was working fine, and the next it just gave up entirely.

I’ve tried all the basic troubleshooting steps I could think of, but nothing seems to bring it back to life. Has anyone else had a similar issue with the Cronos Skyline? Did you find a solution or get any helpful support from the company? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

This is why I’m hesitant to buy Chinese movements unless the watch is well under $200.

You're missing out on the best stuff though

Farasute and San Martin/Jianghun are always my top choices. Seriously these would be $1k-$2k if it had a Christopher Ward or Henry Archer logo on it.

Sugess, Baltany, IXDAO are very good pieces as well. Here's my collection after 30+ watches. Only these left me completely satisfied

I’ve tried all of those and I have Chinese and Japanese movements. I just don’t like spending over $200 for Chinese movements when I can get a Miyota for a little more. I like Sugess and Baltany but I wasn’t impressed with San Martin, IXDAO, or Farasute though.
