Minimal expectations...
At the skating place there are several electronic games and vending machines for all kinds of cheap junk. Our child tried a couple and got out some... let's say "coooool" stuff. As cool as this "PARROT" digital watch, which sports the image of a bunny and is shaped like a pink Mickey Mouse. High quality stuff as you can imagine... starting from the scratches it already had when emerging "brand new" out of its spherical plastic enclosure.
Ok, a junky trinket, and that one can expect to stop working relatively fast. All that said, there's just one thing one can reasonably expect it to do, as long as it lives: tell the time.
We quickly noticed that this high-quality watch was rather enthusiastic about keeping time and telling it. In other words, it runs fast. Quite fast. In the photo here you see it exactly twenty-four hours after setting it to the right time (1 AM). In the course of 24 hours it gained an extra 27 minutes.
I don't know what precision you're used to, but gaining over an extra minute every hour sounds a bit much to me.
On the back of the watch it reads: ELECTRON SHOWS, Fei hu, MADE IN CHINA.
This explains everything! It's not a digital watch. It's an electron show.
