Are Curren Watches Good Quality?
The first question should be on what basis do we ensure the quality of a watch brand. According to my experience, 3 things are the most important to understand the quality of any watch.
- The material and glass of the watch. (At least it should be stainless steel if it is affordable or cheap watch)
- The watch movement (At least a quality watch should be made with quartz movement)
- Warranty & Guaranty by the brand (There should be at least a 2-year warranty) reflects the brand’s confidence in its own products.
Curren watches can be considered an average quality brand with very affordable prices. The material they use for the watch case is either metal or stainless steel, for straps they use faux leather or stainless steel, and for the glass, they use either Hardlex or mineral crystal material. All these materials are good but it depends on which type of stainless steel and metal they are using. Types of stainless steel

1. Men Leather Strap Curren Military Watch
The price of this watch is definitely low, but looking at it, it seems very expensive and unique in design. Its blue dial is very exquisite and striking.
Straps:
The straps are made from Faux Leather, mostly this kind of leather is slick and shiny which makes it look cheap but in this watch, you will find its Brown strap color very decent and not flashy at all so it does not look cheap.

Also, it is scratch resistant and does not retain moisture. But it is not completely water resistant. You can read more about Faux leather here: Is Faux Leather Good Quality?
Dial:
The dial is covered with a scratch proof mineral glass. Even Timex use mineral glass in its watches. However the mineral glass is average in quality. It is not as hard as sapphire glass. But at this price point it is worth for money and best for entry level watches.
The watch comes with two dial color options. First is Brown and second is Ice Blue. The Ice Blue color is an eye catcher and gives a very soothing feel when someone looks at it. While the Brown dial is more bold and sturdy.
Movement:
A movement is the heart of a watch. In this watch Japanese Quartz movement is used. Japanese quartz movements have very low power consumption and better power reserve.

Strap:
The watch has leather straps, it is not specifically mentioned which kind of leather has been used. But in Curren watches mostly the faux leather is used. Which is not a real leather and made with plastic base and a wax is applied on it for color and texture.
Faux leather is very less breathable and also it blocks the air because of plastic components. Faux leather can make your skin sweat but good for winter season. Also, it retains the moisture.
Overall Verdict:
Watch is worth for the money but as mentioned the real leather is not used in the watch as the cost is very low. Also, the chronograph does not work at all, it is just for decoration purpose.
