About two weeks ago, I found some cheap watches on Amazon and bought about three of them.
As expected, none of them worked at all, and I was relieved.

Choosing based on “round, digital, glowing, and cheap” <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I purchased the three watches shown in the image.
Then two of them turned out to be the same product\u2014disappointing. And on top of that, they were hard to see and completely unusable.
It’s scary not being able to see the actual product, isn’t it?

Well, since it was just a few hundred yen, I let it go.

The one that arrived last in the top left felt really heavy, so my expectations were high.
I thought, “Maybe this watch will be a winner?” <\/strong>and attached it to my bike. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At first glance, the battery can’t be replaced, so it’s a disposable model.
Looking at the case, it seems like they might have wanted to attach a strap? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The monitor setting mark is noticeably misaligned too\u2014that’s impressive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The setup was smooth, so my expectations were pretty high? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Thinking it was quite simple, easy to read, and a very excellent design,
I got excited and tried attaching it with “double-sided magnets,” but it was too heavy and didn’t work.

For now, I tried attaching it to the GPZ indicator with double-sided tape, and… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It picked up vibrations and went into settings mode,
or cycled through “time \u2192 seconds \u2192 date” repeatedly, making it completely unusable.

I’m not sure exactly why, but it seems to be picking up vibrations.
The design and feel were really nice, but it’s a shame. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 465 yen including shipping, you shouldn’t expect too much… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Wait a minute\u2014”dual-screen display with a clock” is the best <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When using a smartphone on the bike, it’s basically for INSTA360 preview.
At that point, “Why not just display the clock on two screens?” <\/strong>was the conclusion I reached. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, you can adjust the clock size too, and it’s extremely easy to read and perfect.

When you open the app, you see this screen.
Press the clock mode at the bottom and a digital clock will be displayed.

If you want to check the time while using your phone, please give it a try. <\/p>\n\n\n\t\t
