Checking in after two years - very satisfied
The media could not be loaded. I bought this because I wanted a mechanical skeleton watch to add to my collection. It was on sale for $32 and looked good, so I picked it up. It's become my workhorse watch in that time, and sees more use than my Citizens, Seikos, or Tags or Hublot.The crystal has a couple little dings at the top edge from when I was working under my car but is otherwise scratch-free. The black finish has worn down on the outer edge of the bezel and the edges of the case by the strap connector, which (imho) gives it a cool patina as it shows the copper underneath. Again, this became my workhorse and has been put through a lot more use than my dress watches have; if you use it as such, the finish will likely last many years longer.I do leathercrafting and had planned to make a custom strap right away, but the one that came with it seemed decent enough that I left it on. It's just about time to replace it. The leather is painted and highly treated which makes it durable, but it as the paint wears it looks more "worn out" than having a "patina." Pairing this with a custom strap, as other reviewers have, is a good move.I've gotten a lot of compliments for it in the last couple years, as people notice the mechanism moving inside. The color balance between gunmetal, chrome, and gold is great at this price point, and it manages to strike a perfect balance of subtle and flash. It's a watch that can look "tough" while still being sophisticated... Isn't that what we all want?If you're only going to have one or two watches that suit work, play, and formal events, this one is a great choice. I don't think you'll find much better for at least another two hundred bucks.

Nice watch
Nice watch for the money - it seems to be running well, and it is a good build, given it's not really all that water-resistant or shockproof, but it's heavy with a really great crystal; Just don't get it too wet or drop it.It doesn't have a date complication, which is a little bittersweet - it's such a PITA to change dates on my watches so I bought this one specifically coz it didn't have that feature, and now I miss it... I knocked it down a star NOT coz of this, but coz it's running a tad fast... Mine is running about a minute fast per two weeks but hey - I guess I can live with that.

Scratches easyaly if you get the black one
Very nice looking watch. Only problem is the black one, the paint scratches very easy. Only wore it a couple times and is now silver around the dial

Excellent value
I purchased this watch as an experiment before buying a much more expensive "grail" watch that was the same shape and size. I wanted to make sure that I would like something this large before the purchase. After having this several months and wearing it when I am not comfortable with something more expensive for fear of damage... I have to say I am impressed for the money spent. The value is excellent. The strap is hard ugly plastic feeling but has held up very well. The watch itself is attractive and seems to be well made. By sight I thought the movement might be an NH35, but while it does hand wind, it does not hack. The main thing though... it is keeping very good time. I would call it a very good value for $50. A person could put a better strap on it and do a lot worse for a lot more money with some of the garbage I have seen available. If I run across someone at some point who really likes it I may give it away as I have done in the past. The difference this time is I will not feel like I gave away trash. I have purchased 2 Benyar watches since this one and I have had the same experience with those as well.

Awesome watch
This is a substantial watch that is well worth the price point. Beautiful workings and movement. No "extras" in the design of the face, it is very tasteful in its look. Leather band is thick and well made. The band won't break... Benyar is a brand that can compete with the bigger established watch brands!

Great watch
The media could not be loaded. I love the detail in the face of the watch that allows you to see the inside gears (skeleton style). I have had the watch for about 2 weeks and find that it accurately keeps time. I take the watch off over night and the time is still right in the morning.Watch face is nice and big!Watch band is thick and durable.It is a men's watch, so it looks huge on me, which is fine, I like men's watches for this reason 😀I would absolutely recommend this watch for anyone who likes automatic skeleton watches.

Pleasantly Surprised
The media could not be loaded. Honestly for an automatic watch at this price point, I didn't expect much. I expected it not to keep time accurately. I expected the quality to lack also. On the contrary, it keeps perfect time. It'll and it'll last roughly 48 hours from fully wound to run down and not running any longer. That's if you wind it up and just lay it down so the rotor doesn't wind the main spring automatically. The quality is fantastic. Thick leather band, no machining flaws on the internals. Little decorative details on the face design that add a nice subtle accent to an already attractive watch. Time will tell on its longevity. But as of right now in the month I've had it, it gets 5 stars easily.

Looks great, bad wristband, stopped keeping time after 3 1/2 months
I love the look and feel of the watch. I wanted a mechanical watch. However, it looks like you get what you pay for. I had to replace the wristband within the first week. I bought a silicone wristband. For most of the time I owned the watch I would have to correct the time about once a week. I move around plenty to keep it wound up. Then this last week it stopped keeping time. Until I can afford a mechanical watch that is more than $300 I'll just stick with quartz timepieces.
