It complements the gold-colored case relatively well, with a rather nice sunburst, but that factor alone can\u2019t disguise its apparent grocery-store watch level of quality, observable even from a moderate distance. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Aside from that, it\u2019s ok stylistically. It\u2019s not hideous, but it does look a bit like an owl wearing eye makeup, don\u2019t you think?<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">The lume on this watch, by the way, isn\u2019t nearly as bad as I expected, but is still below par for a watch at this price. Again, it gets trounced by alternatives that cost the same or even way less.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Interestingly, many online commenters and even Google\u2019s \u2018AI Overview\u2019 claim that these Maserati watches are either made in Italy or made in Switzerland, which certainly makes them sound prestigious. Personally, I think that\u2019s bogus. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">When a watch brand is Swiss or Italian-made, you never hear the end of it! They plaster that claim everywhere, including on the watch dial itself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">This Maserati has neither of those claims present, and if there\u2019s one thing I\u2019ve learned over 6 years of watch reviewing, it\u2019s that the phrase \u2018Italian Design\u2019 usually means \u2018made in China\u2019, or some other Far Eastern country they\u2019d rather not mention.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Now, Maserati\u2019s parent company, the Morellato Group, loves to talk about \u201cin-house production of watches\u201d on their website, and that sounds impressive\u2026 until you read their own 2025 company profile, which tells a very different story.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">They proudly describe their watchstrap production as \u201cMade in Italy\u201d and their Philip Watch line as \u201cSwiss Made\u201d \u2014 but when it comes to everything else, including Maserati, there are no such claims.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Rather, the document openly lists Morellato subsidiaries in world-renowned manufacturing hubs like Hong Kong, Dongguan (China), and Bangkok.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">So, their marketing might suggest you\u2019re getting a slice of Italian craftsmanship, but they\u2019re almost certainly made in the Far East, just like every other fashion watch brand out there, all while technically being able to call their production \u201cin-house\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">And just like most fashion watches, this Maserati is a trash-tier timepiece with a fancy brand name and an insane markup. I can\u2019t say I\u2019m surprised.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">That\u2019s not to say all Chinese-made watches are bad. In fact, some Chinese-made chronographs obliterate this Maserati in terms of price to performance, such as those from <a href=\"https:\/\/s.click.aliexpress.com\/e\/_c3cidci3\" target=\"_blank\">Addiesdive<\/a>\u00a0and <a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/casioefrs108green\" target=\"_blank\">Casio Edifice<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">At this price, it even gets trumped by other highly-rated watches on Amazon, that for some reason weren\u2019t listed as highly as this hunk of junk. That includes the <a href=\"https:\/\/fave.co\/43K0AYt\" target=\"_blank\">Q Timex Chronograph<\/a>, which looks far more attractive and expensive, or some of <a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/orientstrettonavy\" target=\"_blank\">Orient\u2019s solar chronographs<\/a>, which look higher quality and are higher quality in every manner, while offering solar charging functionality to boot. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now, the blue undertone I actually quite like.
