It looks more like a countdown timer rather than a watch set on 24-hour format. I noticed the three IC potentiometers most likely used to set the hours, minutes and seconds separately since probably there are no synchronizing internet circuits.

Not now but it was tempting for me back then. However, it's not pratical at all. It has quite short battery life due to the LED display.
That was one tempting item I never did buy. No regrets.

That was back in 1977 and I spent the same amount of money (a little bit less $750) for the Nikon F2AS and the 50mm f/1.4 lens. That was no regret except that I got it stolen from me 7 years later.

Looks like a countdown timer for a bomb!

Given a choice I’ll choose this one thanks.
I'm a watch person. Other than a single, medium-weight silver chain, that is the only jewelry I use. My tastes are above my means so I have several Seiko, Pulsar, and Citizen watches. The one you show just makes me salivate!
Looking at their website, they list a few with prices but most without. I imagine it is one of those situations where if you have to ask the price, you can't afford it. One was listed at over 54,000 and was most likely in the middle price range since it was 18kt. white gold. The one I liked best was platinum and did not show a price. I'll revisit that site if I ever hit "the big one"! Thanks for introducing me to those watches.

TEMU is totally reputable. I have ordered many things - no problems with returns either.
Several of my watches have come from them.

There are really very few great watch maker who can make reliable, precision watches with multiple complications and I am sure temu has some interesting merch for reasonable prices but any comparison is clearly apples to oranges. I wouldn’t buy a Daytona Cosmograph in Tijuana either.

I have not worn a wrist watch since high school, more than 50 years. In my short time as a factory worker after high school it was recommended not to wear one around the machinery. In the Navy we worked from muster until dismissal. In my career as a vending machine mechanic, the watch too often got snagged on the guts of the machines. Once cell phones showed time, I had no use for a watch.

OK, you got me! I've also ordered several items from TEMU and just ordered a watch! I don't care how accurate it is -- I've always wanted one of those where you can see the inside workings of the watch. It will be a good novelty and provide an interesting photo opt to do some macro shots of the inside.

Kind of a steam punk look.
