Hi guys, the question is simple, I am trying to learn from your mistakes because I don't have money to make my own.
And I thought we could share some stories too.

Do not impulsively purchase any watch. Sometimes they do workout when there are good deals on Amazon and Flipkart. But often times, they don’t.

For example, when I was college, I saw this Formal Casio on Flipkart which was only 800. It had a brown leather strap and black dial with a black stainless steel casing.

On arrival, I realised it was made of plastic completely and Flipkart has mentioned it as steel.

Strap quality was really bad and I hated how it looked on my wrist. I was quite disheartened by this and ended by returning the item. I’m not even sure if it was real Casio because I never saw that watch ever again.

Lately, e commerce sites are only offering replacement for many items. Imagine being stuck with such a watch which you can’t even return.

So, be careful, watch some review photos, YouTube videos and get a second opinion from a friend or someone who knows their watches and see if it’s worth the price when you are purchasing one.
