Not what I expected for the money
Ordered it half expecting tat. It isn't. The wheel sits deep under the glass so you get an actual shadow under the spokes when the light moves across it. Six weeks in and it hasn't lost a second.

A five spoke wheel face set deep under the crystal, with a floating brake caliper riding the rim. The dial is machined and stepped rather than printed, so the spokes throw a real shadow when light moves across them.
Black steel case, signal orange caliper, moulded silicone strap. It reads as a watch first and a car reference second, which is the whole point.

Questions
Does the wheel spin?
No. It is the dial face itself, machined and stepped so it sits below the crystal with real depth. The hands sweep above it.
Can I wear it in the rain?
Rain and hand washing are fine. Do not swim or shower in it.
Will it fit a smaller wrist?
The silicone strap has a full range of holes and cuts cleanly if you need it shorter. It sits comfortably from about a 16cm wrist upwards.
How long is delivery?
Two weeks maximum, worldwide. Free in the UK, a flat 9 pounds everywhere else, tracked either way.

Right size for once
Sits properly under a shirt cuff. Every other watch like this is the size of a beer mat.
Strap needed a week
Watch is great. The strap was stiff as a board out of the box and marked my wrist for the first couple of days. Softened right up since, so I'd still say buy it.
Birthday present
Got it for my other half. He's fussy about watches and hasn't taken it off since. The orange caliper was the bit that sold him.
Good watch, slow post
No complaints about the watch itself. Eleven days to turn up though. They do say 7 to 12 on the site so that's on me for not reading it properly.
Better in person
The photos don't really show how much depth there is in the dial. It looks machined because it is.
