Meh, not a fan. I'm not really a big fan of Steinhart to be honest. I'm going to base almost everything I say based on assumptions that I think are true but I'm definitely not 100% on so please go easy if I'm wrong.
I believe Steinhart is an Asian watch manufacture which is fine because their price mostly reflects that, but they pretend not to be, and most of their watches are homages to way more popular watches. This watch doesn't jump out at me as an homage of anything I can think of, though. Still, you've got an Asian homage company that's using a name like "Steinhart" which is about as Asian as Kim or Lee. I don't even really have a problem with fakes really but this seems even faker than fake.
I've always seen them as kind of an Invicta brand, but most of all, I just think the watch is not very good looking. That said if it's not a lot of money to you, and you like the way it looks, I think it's going to be pretty hard to construct an argument that tells you not to get it. So go for it!
After a quick Google I stumbled across this while googling "Steinhart watches asia"

According to this it appears I am wrong. That said jumping on a watch forum and reading a post and assuming it's true is the exact same thing as jumping in to a 2p2 thread having never played poker and reading a thread and concluding that you should raise-fold Kings because KidPoker69420666 said so. There are a lot of people on watch forums who do not know an awful lot about what they own, which is of course fine, it just makes them not the most credible sources for this kind of stuff is all I'm getting at.
