On the surface of things and on first impressions, this Continental seems to have a fairly decent spec for the price. On further investigation though, when you can’t find out exactly what’s in this thing, I start to doubt the quality. What are they hiding? Probably nothing, but this watch isn’t exactly aimed at watch enthusiasts like myself and people that read my reviews.
I think it’s aimed at people much more like your Dad or Grandad looking for a watch for that wedding that they’re being dragged to in a couple of months. All they want is for it to look smart under their shirt cuff and to tell the time at a quick glance whilst drinking as much alcohol as they can get away with.
If you’re of the latter camp, then this watch is for you. If you’re a watch enthusiast like myself then I wouldn’t bother. You have plenty choice of automatic watches with far better spec at this price point. I never wear a dress watch as such, so maybe I’m the wrong person to review this. If I need to wear a shirt and tie (I’d rather stick a hot poker in my eye) then I’d wear a dressier sports watch from my collection.
