Even at this price this is a huge waste of money
I should’ve seen it coming. A 53-page “book” about 51 watches. I would call this a pamphlet. Most of each page a photo of the watch. The last third of each page is a short description of the watch. No specifications. Nothing. Add to all this the poor grammar and obvious lack of knowledge about watches in general. Don’t waste your money on this. It’s the author’s poor attempt at residual income. Cheap enough that no matter how bad it is, buyers will just let it slide and let him keep the money. I was going to try and return this kindle edition but as I expected, you can’t return a digital item.

not a book
This is simply a list of watches with a one-sentence description of each. No more than what youâd find on a blog post. Booo.

Disappointed “book” buyer… –
“Fascinating stories and interesting facts” and a lot of watches which are from (too) expensive brands but without any importance.Could need a spelling checker and has NO stories and a minimal of short bitesize facts…Absolutely something not worthy of more than a place on the table at a barber…

Extremely disappointed with this âbookâ. Proof reading might have been an idea to start with, assuming the author would have noticed his mistakes, (which I doubt).Also, âsoâ is spelt âsoâ and NOT âsoo!â Awful grammar and use of capitals not consistent throughout. All in all, despite a good idea, the execution was extremely disappointing. It could have been so much better, with an author having mastered the English language somewhat.Reads like a teenâs journal instead of a serious review guide.Rated as a âDâ sadly.

Not what I expected. Limited information about watches and no explanation as to why these watches changed the world, poor item.
