Basically the title says it all. I picked up one of these brand new off eBay for $120 and I think this is a fantastic tool watch. I ended up with one for work as I'm in healthcare and didn't want to gunk up my nicer GADA watch. It's a great size for my slender wrist, easy to read and so far keeps great time! Yeah it's an eco drive, not automatic but I mean for a watch I just can slip on and head to work I can't think of a better model in ths price range. Definitely a firm recommendation from me for whatever that's worth.

Like some others I wasn't keen on the original strap but I picked up a few from CNS and I'm loving the single pass strap on it!

Great watch, I’ve bought a couple for myself and more for friends.

The reference is BM8180-03E for those wondering.

For those concerned about its mineral crystal, just put a screen protector on it. I have one on one of mine and you can’t even tell it’s there. I do wish they had screwdown crowns, though. But the rest of the specs work well: 100m is a little unusual in a watch like this, and the lume is surprisingly good (and lasts all night). I’m a fan. 👍
