It is the only way to wear the Speedmaster design, case shape and dial for under 300 euros, and the quartz chronograph works properly. It weighs almost nothing and is fun to wear. Be clear about the trade offs: the case is a ceramic and castor oil blend, the crystal is plastic, water resistance is splash level, and it is a fun watch rather than a lifetime one.
The Speedmaster look and a working chronograph for 290 euros.

What owners say
WatchUSeek owners call it fun and tougher than expected, but say the crystal scratches with ease and the stock strap is poor. Chronograph hands drifting from zero is common and fixable at home, and there are reports of moisture under the crystal via the battery hatch.
