Tonnier Day Date
The Tonnier Day Date is another entry in my Low Cost Watches series of video reviews. I picked this up in a “lightning deal” back in early March 2019. The original price is $23.99, but I got it for $17.84, which was enough motivation to give it a try.

Pros:
- Cost: Hard to beat at under $20
- Dial: A subtly textured black, goes well with white-tipped hands
- Movement: Day/Date at a good price with both English and Chinese, Sunday in red
Cons:
- Case: Pictured as matte, turns out it gloss (would be better as matte). Quality is lacking in evenly painted surface. I would expect the coating and crystal will show signs of wear rather quick if worn much. They also reflect a lot of light.
- Strap: Color and quality are not that great. Should quickly find itself on something better.
- Dial: Can feel unbalanced due to the very simple design and day/date at 3.
