Our take on the PD-1888
The PD-1888 is a 40mm stainless steel automatic watch with a working GMT dual-time inner dial, a synthetic sapphire crystal and a 42-hour power reserve. At 148.9g and 12.2mm thick it wears as a solid everyday piece rather than a slim dress watch. The DG5833A movement is an inexpensive Chinese automatic, so it competes on features per dollar against entry-level Seiko and Orient GMTs rather than on finishing or accuracy. It suits buyers who want a dual-time mechanical watch and accept a basic movement to get one.

Questions and answers
- Is the GMT hand actually functional?
- Yes. The inner dial is a fully functional dual-time display, not a decorative one.
- What movement does it use?
- An Automatic Pearl DG5833A with roughly 42 hours of power reserve.
- Will the included leather straps fit?
- They are 20mm, while the watch takes a 21mm bracelet, so they may not fit every model.
- Is it safe for swimming?
- No water resistance rating is stated, so keep it away from water beyond splashes.
- How does it compare with a Seiko or Orient GMT?
- It offers similar features on paper but uses a cheaper Chinese movement, so expect less accuracy and finishing.
