What do the portfolio managers say about Festina? Cheap Swiss brand, but they've been making watches for over a hundred years, so must know something!?

I'm looking for a more casual watch and came across the Festina 6819 at around £ 190 which I thought was fair.



It has hardened mineral glass, am I right in assuming the "hardened" part means nothing and it will scratch easily compared to crystal?

Anything more obvious in this style at a similar price?

Yeah, I have to say I really like it too.

Also, it's not incredibly bulky like I find a lot of chrono's to be, so it suits my skinny man-child wrists perfectly.

Like that a lot, if you do too surely that should be the important thing, not what a few "expert" horologists on here think?

My parents bought me a Festina watch for my 21st, they used to do the time keeping for the Tour de France, if that counts for anything!
