First if all, I'm sorry for not posting for a while. I've been busy with college and short of budget with online shopping. *typical college student life* But, anyway, I have always like the Daniel Wellington strap and have always wanted one and so I decided to buy a copy one. Plus, I only liked the straps anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter if it's original or not.

I bought a couple set from an instagram shop because I thought they were in good quality. The couple set only cost me RM70, which I think is cheap and reasonable. The postal took a little bit longer than usual, probably because nobody buys a watch everyday, but it took longer time than I expected and I was a little bit afraid that it was a scam. When it finally came, I was really happy and relieved at the same time. But the package was a little bit disappointing.

First of all, the watch body design isn't fully rounded shape. The edge of the watch is a flat unlike the original one. But if of course as expected, they're copies, can't be exactly the same.

Secondly, the watches arrived with the time already being set. Which is something that I don't really like. I planned to give the other one the my sister and the end of the year because I'm still in college right now, and so setting the time means lesser battery life. Another thing is, when I tried to pull the lever to stop the watch, but, I can't seemed to pull them out. I guess I can't change the time now that I can't pull them out because I like my time to be 5 minutes faster. I haven't tried using tools on them though.

Last but not least, the strap. I guess this is the most disappointing part of my shopping. What I wanted the most was the strap and the strap quality was really bad. It's thin and too soft, it felt like it could break anytime. I really like the strap's style, but I really dislike the quality though. They're all just not what I expected them to be.

Over all, I guess I would still wear the watch even though it was a disappointment. But I would probably try to find another with better quality straps. Not in the nearest time though. I'm too broke because the student affairs office just fined me RM50 because I read notes in my phone. Way to go, give them a big standing ovation. I'm actually kind of pissed off by that. To think that I gave them RM1 bill for RM50 was worst. I actually had to starve myself because of that. I hope that karma strikes them back, real hard. Yeah, I'm a jerk, I know.
Back to the discussion, RM70 is quite cheap but I guess I put my hopes too high for the strap. It's not in the best quality but still wearable. I'm not saying that they're really bad, the watches are good, arrived in a good condition, functioning well, but they just weren't as good as I thought they would be. This is the first time I online shop for a watch and the seller seemed to give me a good impression, so I would probably buy another watch from her again.
