DOA - doesn't work.
Color: A Gold
Love the looks of this watch but I cannot get it to work. I think that it is mechanical, but I wind it and it only runs for one to 10 minutes and sometimes not at all. Am I doing something wrong?

nice watch but expect what you pay for.
Color: A Gold, Color: A Gold
Pretty solid watch decent size face i prefer large face watches even with my small wrist. Its pretty good at staying synchronized. The case is pretty solid but closer inspection makes it look cheap, i still love though and it does get a lot of looks. The band is my really only big complaint it feels chintsy and cheap, the clasp spring fellout once but very simple to re-insert and if you have small wrist like me its definite resize. Other than that for the price its a cool mechanical watch.

Product does looks amazing and the manufacturer put a lot of time on designing this affordable watch, i'm using it in a daily basis and still looks like the first day. Pros: Affordable, great looking, right size Cons: Lot of condensation, you can see it trough the glass

good for big wrists
my wrist is almost 9 inches so some choices are too small. plus I like a slightly loose fit rather than snug. it's beautiful just like the pictures. happy with it.
