One of the nice things about the Caribbean Joe brand of watches is that it brings classic watch looks to those of us with limited watch budgets. Such is the case with the Caribbean Joe watch with a cushion case and faux sub-dials.

What is a Cushion Case Watch?
A cushion case is a watch case design that was popular in the early 20th century and incorporates square and round design elements. A cushion case is a square-ish or rectangular case with gently rounded corners that has a circular dial and crystal in the center. It looks like a round watch resting on a square pillow.

Caribbean Joe Watch Dimensions
One thing I like about Caribbean Joe is that their watches are well proportioned. This square Caribbean Joe watch is about 43mm wide (45mm if you count the crown) and roughly 11mm thick. It fits might 7 3/4-inch wrist without any issue and has plenty of strap left for the gathers to fit comfortably.

Overall Caribbean Joe Watch Impression
I enjoy wearing this watch. It has a classic look that is a little unusual and a worry-free quartz movement. The non-functional subdials detract from my perception of this watch's value, but they help the brand mimic a classic look. For less than $21 at Kohl's, this watch is a good buy.
