AIBI Men's Chronograph, Model 02701-3


Rating: 5/5

Review:
A very smart, good quality watch

This watch was sent to me for review. I think it is very good – it seems a high-quality product and it looks very stylish indeed.

The watch comes in a very nice, hinged presentation box. The watch itself has a large face, 4cm in diameter (over 1.5 inches), which to me gives it a quality, sophisticated air. It's stainless steel but coated or coloured (I'm not sure which) with a gold metal finish, which again is well done. The band is very good quality plain leather with a discreet logo on the buckle to match the watch. It's rated as water resistant to a depth of 100 metres, which is great – but if you want to go swimming in it, you'll need a different, non-leather strap, of course.

Functionally, it's pretty simple. There is a start-stop button and a reset button to use the stopwatch, and it all works well.

The face itself looks very nice. It I fairly plain in design, with three smaller dials giving minutes and seconds for the stopwatch function and a 24-hour dial. The date, unusually, is at 4-o'-clock rather than 3, but it works well in this design, I think, and I like the look of the whole thing.

I'm impressed. AIBI have made a good-quality wristwatch which combines very smart design with good functionality. It's too early to be certain about durability, of course, but they have a good reputation and the watch does seem very well made and robust, so I'd expect it to last very well. If you like the look of this, as I do, and you want a stopwatch function, I think this will do you very nicely and I can recommend it warmly.
