LaiXin XXL Quartz Watch

Keeping up the run of unknown brands is today's watch (-don't worry, I'll be back to the more well known brands soon).

The watch is by LaiXin (or Lai Xin)  which seems to be a Chinese watch manufacturer. This watch is designed to be impressive from a distance, but isn't so convincing close up. The watch case is huge, and basically covers the width of my wrist. It has a 3 hand dial with a quartz movement, and 3 small dials on the face. When you get close, you notice that the 3 small dials are purely cosmetic, and are not able to turn (and the buttons for those dials are also fake). The strap continues with the bulky theme with a large thick black rubber construction.

It looks like the watch is modelled on the Swiss Tendence brand which releases models in the same size and with the same hour marker design (which stick out from an edge sloping towards the dial).

It has a model number on the face back of 9049, but there is no other information about its background written on the watch.

There are a few sites selling this brand, and they are a low price brand. I think that this model is quite modern (based on the watches it looks like), and is likely post-2010.
