Awesome automatic watch!
Awesome Watch! Looks amazing and most important keeps good time. I like the fact that it comes with a link remover. I only had to remove one like for a proper fit.

Blown away by what you get for the price!
This is a great watch for the price! It arrived today, no fancy packaging just a white box. It does however come with a link removal tool for the band, which is nice. I was impressed by the look of this watch. I opted for the Gold & Blue face with the silver and gold band. It looks great. The band is large so the first thing I did was knock out two links. Super easy to do. It's light and feels good on the wrist. A little thick compared to my much more expensive automatics. Detail is decent, I really can't see any flaws on this one. The only questions are time keeping accuracy and longevity. Time keeping looks pretty about right and you can only tell longevity over the course of time. I may buy another...this inexpensive little watch has me smiling from ear to ear.

Great watches at a great price!
Love these watches. I ordered one to see what you get for this price, figuring if it was junk I didn't waste that much money on it. That was the black/gold finish. Got the watch and included with it was the pin removal tool to resize the watch band. 2 minutes later the watch was on my wrist. I wanted an automatic watch, no batteries, as there is nothing like going to put a watch on only to find out that battery is dead and has to be brought to a jeweler to have it replaced. I put this watch head to head with my Bulova to see how accurate it is. I let them stop and wound both of them by hand 40 winds which gives the Bulova over a day of reserve. This watch kept up with the Bulova in both accuracy and reserve. The watch is heavy compared to the Bulova, but not cumbersome on the wrist. When wearing, the automatic mechanism definitely keeps the reserve level up and I have yet had to wind it while wearing it. I liked the first watch so much I now own 5 of them. They are all great. There are many times I choose to wear one of these over my Bulova as I don't want to risk damaging it. I get many compliments when I wear these, and having the different color finishes give me the ability to choose depending on my attire.

Read instructions, if this is your first mechanical learn how to locate the mainspring
Update: Watch stopped working at 2:10p after less than a day. Wasn't the mainspring as it wasn't wound down. Turning the crown does nothing. Possibly defective parts. Worked an office job and had it on my left hand during meetings, used it to enter a meeting at 1:30p before noticing at 2:15 that it had stopped running at 2:10p. Will attempt a return.This is a stupidly great deal of a watch. Let's get through some rather quick basics:-I'm wearing it during stay at home pandemic so can't really judge the automatic winding mechanism fairly. That being said, I'm no stranger to winding watches.-When you first receive this watch, more than likely it will need to be wound. If you have good eyes look for the main spring, it's a coiled spring in the upper right of the face. It should be fairly coiled into a cylinder, if you see spaces inbetween them, tighten it: Turn the crown(the knob) clockwise a bit, if you have good eyes you can follow the mainstring as it tightens. Every morning if you're in a desk job or don't move or wear the watch frequently enough you'll have to wind this up a bit to keep accurate time. otherwise it'll slow down. This is a STANDARD of mechanical watches - IT IS NOT A FLAW. If you can't see the mainspring just give the crown a few clockwise turns until you feel tension then stop. You'll get the hang of it. Shouldn't take much every morning unless you don't wear it all for a few days.-Hey tinkers and watch makers/repair geeks! You can remove the face! Which makes this a a full skeleton if you wanted to swing that way or have an alternate face you want to kick in for funsies. Nothing too weird or abnormal to expect on my review of it's internals. As you are well aware it is still a mechanical watch, and stupid easy to break/lose parts with - so be careful.-Non-Watch tinkers. You can go to any watch shop, or jewelry store to get the links removed/adjusted. Most do it for free. You can also buy a link removal kit online and watch some youtube videos to learn to do it yourself. The pins that hold the links in place are nothing too fancy, just elaborate clips that have one direction(marked on the links) you have to push them with. A pushboard pin can do it, but really you should get a kit. It's like $7, comes in handy. Or just stop by a jewelry store/repair shop. It's a great idea to find a repair shop too when you have these mechanical watches as you may need some repairs down the road(such as a new spring for example) or if the face gets scratched.

I Love this watch, But you get what you pay for...
This is a beautiful cheap watch that feels very comfortable on the wrist. It's mesmerizing to watch which also makes it an absolute joy to wear.But as I mentioned it's a cheap watch, not an affordable one. Its automatic self-winding isn't consistent enough to guarantee getting through a day or two without slowing down, but this is an easy enough fix by winding it once a day to guarantee you're giving sufficient power to the main spring. If wound once a day it remains accurate. The strap is very comfortable, but the pins on the clip will slowly start to protrude from the clasp when taking the watch on and off and need to be occasionally pushed back in which is fairly easy to do. (the included tool for removing links is also awful) I also wouldn't call this watch water-resistant at all. After one boat ride at Niagra Falls, the watch was filled with water. The watch was never submerged and the crown wasn't open, it was just subjected to mist. A few days in a container filled with silica gel with the crown unlocked got out most of the water, but there is still enough moisture within to cloud the face after a few hours of wearing the watch.That being said, I am still considering getting another one. I have an orient bambino that is much nicer in pretty much every regard, but even still there are times when I just crave this watch. It's just a really fun watch at a cheap price. Sure it has minor annoyances and isn't water-resistant enough to survive 10 minutes on a rainy day, but it is a very beautiful skeletal watch. It's not too gody or ornate yet remains eye-catching. I'll give it 3.5 stars since it's cheap and I love the design.
