Those cheap watches. Any good?

I agree Matt, can't see the point of owning a watch, except as a piece of jewellery.

Some people appreciate the inner workings of a mechanical watch - all those little cogs and wheels moving in harmony. There are sometimes close to 300 individual moving parts!

You won't get that with a fake watch, of course. The movements are, unsurprisingly, very simple. But the watches keep good time because the various complications on say, a fake chronograph, don't work, so the movement only has to tell the basic time.
