To understand that, it helps to know a little about the Horological community. Keeping time is probably one of the least important things that a watch can do. The more complex the movement, the better. And durable/servicable is high on the list of important things.
When quartz came out, it was unproven. You cant put in a new gear to fix it....and to some in the Horological community, the soul of the watch was missing because the complex gear movement is gone.
Today though...the tech is proven. Quartz is highly accurate. More accurate than Mechanical. Quartz has proven to be durable. It can run for decades. You still need to replace
the entire movement, unlike mechanical, but this has become less of a thing.
Of course, the complex movement is still gone...and this is why some still shy away from it.
But...for the most part, those who are considering this watch are not terribly concerned about complex movement.
The only real knock that I would have on this watch is that the glass is not sapphire. It will scratch more easily.
But it is $40....so one needs to be realistic.

I've gifted black bezel Duro to my uncle who loved it. I've been wanting TimexQ but couldn't justify shelling out $200. In for 1 of this pepsi Duro for myself.

BTW, the two colors make sense when one color is for the first 15-20 min. of the bezel. This half and half color scheme is used in GMT watches to better visualize AM and PM times, so it looks gimmicky on this diver.

This watch looks nicer than its price point and outside of some gnarly scratches, the watch has been a great deal for cheap daily use.

It's damn near indestructible, goes great with all styles and is perfect for those situations where you want to wear a nice watch, but the situation might present a risk for damaging a nicer watch.
For example, I would never reach for some of my nicer watches while doing home improvement stuff on a weekend, but will totally reach for my Casio.
