So in my effort to do fewer and fewer things with my smartphone, I was looking for a watch and stumbled upon Ice-Watch on my daily scroll through eBay.

They look pretty nice and bold and found also out that they are from Belgium.

The range is from smart devices (fitness tracker, smartwatch, connected rings) to just wrist watches.

So I was wondering, does anyone of you have/had one and can share their experiences?

(ICE ... 1/4 Chance of not showing the time, and very likely to be at least 15 mins late)

So the one that drags you from your bed and sends you to some third country torture prison if any of your ancestors in the last five generations had a different citizenship or they don't like your skin color?

is it a watch with a miniaturized internal combustion engine?

They were trendy a few years ago, people seemed happy with them

I bought one almost ten years ago and it's quite nice. Good for the price and if you like colorful watches, they have some great color schemes. I haven't tried their smart watches, but I have heard they're not impressive. But then again, they're cheap. They often have big discounts on their website, so you can always give it a try.

Damn and that one still hold up?

And I do love colours, the ice blue grabbed my attention in the first place.

So thanks for sharing!

It does. I hadn't worn it in months, but I picked it up today and the time was still correct on the minute. I was checking their website and their new smart watches look like a big improvement, too. Like I said, you do get bang for your buck.
