Customers are mixed about the time keeping of the watch. Some mention that it keeps time about as well as any main brand watch under $1k, loses a few seconds, and is reliable; while others say that it is an automatic watch and does not keep perfect time. The spring will unwind and lose track of time, but you never need a battery. The only problem is that it's difficult to read the time, as the hands are pretty loose and they rarely line up.

Customers have mixed opinions about the fit of the watch. Some mention that the size is perfect for a man's wrist, while others say that the clasp was either too big or too small. The band is just a tad sharp and fits just a little off. The open view of the mechanics does not allow much room for the clock face. Overall, the fit is a mixed bag, with some customers saying that it's easy to adjust the band size.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
However, many of the main complaints that I read were from many years ago, so my hope was that they had had time to iron out the kinks.
I don't know if that's true or not, but I do know that it works perfectly! I've been wearing it daily for months now. It keeps time very well, and the "auto-wind" functionality is perfect.
I genuinely couldn't be happier. And on top of all of that, it looks GREAT! Sometimes I enjoy just watching the little flywheel snap back and forth, it's quite mesmerizing.
I also found that the "band squeaking" complaint is not an issue. After wearing it for just a day, giving it a chance to break itself I'm, there was no longer any band noise.
I have not tested the waterproof-ness, because I'm not willing to risk destroying it. I just take it off before showers or swimming. There is no backlight or glowing material, so it's difficult to read in low light. These are small complaints, all things considered.
I definitely recommend this watch for anybody looking for a really handsome, mechanical watch without breaking the bank.
I will likely get another one after this one breaks. (Providing it lasts long enough)
So far, it’s kept time rather accurately. I don’t expect it to be perfect as the accuracy of mechanical watches are not (typically) that of quartz movements. The hands (hour and minute) are very difficult to see. This has to be a design flaw because this renders the watch as not useful in situations where you need to see the time- you can always just use your phone, I assume (as I tend to do often). Of note, the second hand is quite visible and the minute hand is next (with respect to visibility), while the hour hand is least visible.
My title (above) mentions the size of the watch. I was rather hoping for a 50 mm Case Size. Also, the watch is very thick. Ideally, a thinner and bigger version with hands that stand out (visibly) would have been perfect for me.
I’m keeping this watch because I do like it - it’s growing on me fast. This is my first mechanical watch. While I realize it’s not a very high end watch, it appears well built (enough); and, is certainly so eye catching that my fascination with the watch movement has been stimulated. I am though considering substituting the leather (brown) band with a heavy (probably gold tone) metal bracelet one- I think that will give it a more all around thick appearance, balancing the thickness of the case with the band better. We will see…

I loved this watch, which is why I got another when I broke my original, but these latest batches are defective. Amazon only had a 30 day warranty, so I couldn't send it back. I have to go through the manufacturer now to get a replacement or refund. Stay away, people. These are defective.
