Or what about the Walmart watch?

The movement is made in Japan, the stainless steel case is mace in Brazil, assembled in China, and Walmart sells it for 7 bucks.

Wear it til the battery fails, throw it away, and buy a new one.

That’s ridiculous. Sure, it keeps peasants busy all over the world but, all you end up with is trash.

Why not make the whole damn thing where ever, pay $200 or $300 and have it last the for the better part of a lifetime.

Not only is that poor money management, it’s bad for the environment too.
