I like fastrack watches .Targeted at youngistan their creative design, trendy looks and unique collections inspires me a lot. I have already posted a general review on fastrack watches. After visiting my review, the fastrack team has contacted me to write a review on their new collection and they sent a watch. After experimenting with that watch, I am posting this review and it’s a great pleasure in reviewing our favorite product. Thanks mouthshut for providing me the platform and thanks to fastrack for the offer.
Nothing can beat the pleasure of riding a bike. Imagine you are wearing your favorite watch while riding bike and that too suppose if the watch resembles exactly like bike!Interesting huh? Yup, this winter fastrack has introduced new bikers collection in which the design of watches have been inspired from the parts of bike with flame and eagle graphics
Like for instance,
Bike Watch
Speedometer-Dial
Bike chain-Strap
Screws-Hands of watch.
DESIGN
Initially I thought biker’s collection may be suited only for boys. Err….Girls don’t drive bikes? Nope! Indeed they drive faster than boys. Then what? Actually I thought the design would lose its elegance factor. But I was proved wrong after looking at the watch. My watch model no is 6010SM02.Coming to the dial, well a break from usual oval/round shape. Oops! The shape is quite new .It looks like curvy square enclosed inside curvy rectangle. I.e. the ends are folded inside and outside and offered a trendy shape. I think it resembles a bike seat. The black dial is slim and saucy. The other variant of this model has a white dial. The hands of watch are looking like screw and they are ticking tick –tick—tick. The strap is a chrome bracelet with rubber inserts which looks exactly like a bike chain.
COMFORT LEVEL
As the strap is made of metal there is no need to worry about wear and tear problem of leather straps. The bracelet was very loose for my hand, so I went to service center and corrected the size. If there aresize variant collections for non adjustable strap watches it would be comfortable. And the lock was bit tight initially after regular usage now it’s okay.
COLLECTIONS
If you ask me fastrack mantra “How many you have?” My answer will be, “I have 4 and still counting”. I love collecting wrist watches and primary preference is given to fastrack. Previously I used to wear dress matching watch and now bike matching watch.VROOM! ZOOM! In this bikers collection they have released 11 styles of watches in 31 variants each one of them have been designed with respect to bike parts.
QUALITY
Not only the distinctive appearance, it is the quality which keeps fastrack on reliable track. Apart from tearing of leather straps nothing serious problems I have faced with fastrack. Battery life is good. My fastrack watches which I have bought 2 years back are still ticking nicely. The water resistant factor of these watches keeps us cool.
COST
My model cost Rs.2195 and the entire biker’s collection priced betweenRs.1295 -Rs.2995.Considering the quality and versatility it is a worth product. But I request them to reduce cost so that every youngistan can afford to buy their products.
