Mechanical Watch

I bought this for myself as a birthday present to myself. I was going to spend $300 on a nice Citizen watch but found this for 10% of my budget and reviews looked *mostly promising so I decided to "cheap out", acknowledging I may be unsatisfied with the quality and decide to return to get something else. I received it today and unless the sucker stops working, I'm in love. I've seen reviews about the quality lacking and someone mentioned they felt like this watch would chip if they hit it against a hard object. I disagree. I was very surprised at how much weight this watch has. It is a hunk of steel! I feel like I could throw it to the ground full force and only the glass would break (maybe?). 2nd, I saw a review that someone didn't believe the leather is real. It is. I'm not a big fan of the design pattern on the leather band but I wouldn't even go so far as to say it's ugly or unattractive. I just think it could have been done better, but, I still like the pattern scheme more than I'd like it to be plain so I'm not complaining here all that much at all. The pattern just doesn't look orderly at all and seems very... abstract.. little unpractical if you will. The gold tone is neither impressively imitative nor overwhelmingly fake. It falls in a Grey zone of could look more real, could look more fake. It isn't obnoxiously shiny. I was concerned it may be. I feel like the tone itself is very comparable to real gold but you can still tell, at least with a close look, that it's not gold / plated. However, unless you're buying a several thousand dollar watch such as a Rolex, you're not getting real gold. Even the expensive $800 watches are made of essentially the same exact materials as a watch like this, but, don't mistake me, this is no $800 quality watch.. You are sacrificing both mechanical quality and "rich" esthetic. A $3-400+ watch mocks real gold very well. This gets a 6/10 at best. But, again, anyone that knows anything about watches knows 99% of people don't have ANY real gold on their watch whether they paid $30 or $500. It is just how well it imitates real gold really, in my personal opinion. Unless you're prepared to spend several thousand dollars on a shiny wrist hugger, this really isn't a bad purchase. The design is extremely appealing. The quality seems very fair for the price. I probably would pay closer to $60 for a watch like this. $30 is a steal and $300 is a robbery when there's a watch like this. T-Winner gets my recommend. Overall satisfaction score (based on value): 10/10 Overall satisfaction score (unbased on value): 9/10 ** -1 point for the unpractical leather pattern design Gift? This is a good item to gift someone that likes unique and attention-grabbing accessories. I would not necessarily choose this watch for a luxury watch collector. But, certainly for someone who doesn't own many/any watches and won't be disappointed in a cheaper brand if it's a good looking watch.

Wearing the piece on the wrist is nice. But, do some arm / callisthenic exercises. This watch is a bit heavy on the arm and wrist. Accuracy and precision is built up by following the included instructions -- for this mechanical winding time piece.

This is a great watch and exactly what I was looking for. Skeleton back, heavier glass, attractive. That being said, I want to point out that this is NOT a self-winding watch. The page implies that after you wind it, the watch keeps time on its own because its self-winding. Well yes it keeps time BECAUSE YOU WOUND IT. Self-winding watches DO NOT require winding. So for people who think they are getting a self-winding watch that runs off the movement of your body for $37, think again.

Received many compliments. Not high end but definitely an eye catcher

This is my second time returning this watch, both watches came and did not work. 😩😩😩

After 3 months of ownership, the hour hand was starting to slip (slipping gears) when adjusting time. The problem is that it stops when you don't wear it for a couple of days because it requires manual rewinding. And when you're resetting the time, the hour hand will start slipping (not moving) while the minute hand is moving which results in the hour hand being at the wrong location. You'll have to play with it by moving the hour hand back and forth before it can be set at the right location. The minute marks (20, 40 and 60) are stamped on the bezel but you can barely make out the numbers. Other than that, it's a beautiful watch as I get a lot of compliments. The accuracy seems to be ok as I haven't really check it yet. I only glance at it occassionally for the approximate time. For the money, it's probably worth but you just have to be very gentle with it when resetting the time. [UPDATE] After about 5 months, it's almost impossible to set the time. The hour hand will not move. Junk!

The watch is sized very nicely and fits comfortably. I personally like watch faces that are a bit bigger and this is bigger then average but still tasteful. Nice and weighty too and the metal sparkles nicely.

This was an outstanding Christmas gift for my husband, he loved it! It’s so very unusual, very pretty, you can see the in parts working which is even nicer. Just a great watch, wind up, no fussing with batteries.
