Six months is a good time to understand and appreciate the value that a product has on offer. Its been six months that I have been sporting this watch from Fastrack. At INR 2895, it is not the most expensive watches you are ever going to buy but its not cheap either for a student.
As you can see from the pic attached, the watch has a big dial and carries quite a nice mix of colors in the background of the dial. Although classified under the Sport category (primarily because of Fastrack’s Positioning), I don’t think its a sports watch by any stretch of imagination. While you cannot wear for an interview, this is certainly something nice for a casual party or get-together.
Coming to its performance, it has lasted quite well thus far. Here is an analysis
Positives
- It has not bothered me with any functional trouble and seems to take the grunt of my rough handling quite well.
- The stainless Steel finish of the dial makes it tough and also scratch resistant
Neutrals
- The overall comfort is high but the weight might take a little time to get used to.
Negatives
- The leather strap is not of great quality. It has already started to wither away. Indian watches given the sultry conditions cannot succumb on the strap.
Overall: A decent buy but could have been great value for money with a little lighter torso and a better quality strap. Here is the rating-
Looks- 3/5
Value for money- 3/5 (keeping the target audience in mind)
Product quality- 2.5/5 (Strap is the spoiler)
Performance- 3/5
Overall: 2.75

also have a fast track. like their model styles but most of the high priced ones having a leather strap seems having lower quality leather.mine wore out in no time and the strap loops broke off. when tried to replace the strap from the dealer shops itself they didn’t had the same type of material or a better one that was coming with the watch. seems the metal straps will be ok, but i didn’t like them for i love more casual sporty look.

Nice watch. Fast track watch ranges in this range only.So I don’t think it is too costly.
