But we're just going to focus on these striped Geneva watches on this post.
The watches arrived within 2 weeks from China to Canada (West coast).
Super speedy as far as free shipping goes.
I wouldn't be surprised if the same item was available on eBay

Price: $2.96 USD
Available in the 14 different colour combinations listed above.
I purchased the watch in the two different colours.
Based on the stock photos, I thought I had purchased a light mint, and a coral watch.
However, the watches I recieved were significantly darker than
the images depicted on Aliexpress. This was disappointing, because I was really looking forward
to getting a coral coloured watch :(
Watches turned out to be teal and red
There are nice screw like details to mark 12, 3, 6, and 9 o clock.
The brim of the face watch is also gold.
"Geneva" is imprinted in gold on the top.
I like how this watch does not tick very loudly.
Previously, I have purchased watches that tick loudly enough to
keep me up at night!

Platinum is imprinted on the bottom region of the watch face.
Although the face of the watch is gold, the buckle is silver.
This tends to be the case with ecomony priced watches from China.
NEEDS MODIFICATIONS
I fould the fastener for the red watch to be rather rather lose,
but it was easy to fix (albeit inconvenient)
There is a small stud the holds together the loop of faux leather.
I simply cut the strip of faux leather, and refastened it with the stud to the correct tightness.
Also, I found the watch to be to lose for my wrist.
I fixed this by puncturing a new hole into the strap with
a pen and a screw driver.
OVERALL
Pros:
Affordable
Muted ticking sound
Cute pattern
Quick shipping time
Cons:
Poor fitting
Buckle doesn't match face
Darker than advertised
Would I buy this again?
Yes. Although the watches aren't perfect, kept in mind
that the colours are actually darker, I would purchase more of these watches.
Even if the battery dies, I would still were these as an accessory,
and these would make a great addition to some fun arm candy.
