The Bargain Hunter: watch out for the big cat...

I was not expecting anything good when I ordered this watch - I thought the face would be smashed in transit and/or it just wouldn't keep the time.

But I was wrong, so here we are with my new favourite item in my The Bargain Hunter series...

This watch is a steal at £1.90; the strap is a plastic covered synthetic material, but it doesn't look overly cheap.

The page description says it is a men's watch, but I have small wrists I and it fits me comfortably and the watch face doesn't look too large on me (about 2" by 2").

I ordered my watch here, selecting the seller Sanwood from the 'compare prices on Amazon' box (under the 'add to basket' and 'buy now' buttons) - No real reason for this: the prices are the same from both sellers after p&p.

Just type 'Cat Face Shape Dial' in the Watches section to see four more different strap colours that you can choose from; black, white, cobalt blue, and coffee brown.

My order took two weeks to arrive from China (13 days to be precise), and arrived in a plastic baggie and bubblewrap. So if you want to buy a watch (or three) as a gift, order it in plenty of time and get a box or pouch to present it in separately.
