1.0 out of 5 stars Unfortunately, the warranty is bogus, September 17, 2011

If you want to choose Akribos XXIV watch in part because it carries a warranty, please be warned that Akribos XXIV does not honor its warranty. It's been 1 year since I made a request for warranty replacement and I still have not received a response. I understand nobody's perfect, but not backing up your products is unacceptable.
Mine keeps stopping and losing time for no reason.

3.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful watch but..., July 6, 2010

This review is from: Akribos XXIV Men's AK406RG 'Davinci' Rose Gold-Tone Mechanical Watch (Watch)

I was really excited to receive this watch after looking at the pictures and reading reviews. The pictures honestly just don't do it justice - this really is a beautiful watch, and fascinating to observe as the mechanics work.

As I've now found in other reviews (particularly in the other Davinci designs), this watch seems to have some serious mechanical issues. When wound up and left flat (overnight for example), the watch keeps very accurate time. While being worn, it seems to have a tendency to stop when in positions other than parallel to the ground, and restart with jostling or even just another change in position. When I sit with my arm on an armrest or on my desk typing, the watch works fine. While I'm walking, driving, etc. where my arm might be at my side, or moving about, etc. it loses time - stopping and restarting repeatedly. I've had the watch for only a few days now, and have been continually resetting it as I notice it losing time. Today I decided first thing in the morning when I got up that I'd fully wind it, set it to current time, and then leave it alone for the day. As of right now, about 7 hours later, it is just under 2 hours slow. That's a lot of time lost, fast!

I like the watch too much to want to return it, and so will likely handle it through the warranty. Disappointing, really. Probably my last Akribos XXIV.

The pictures didnt do the watch justice. Its better than described or seen. It very elegant and sophisticated. It takes time getting used to having to wind it but thats to be expected. It will run all day on a wind and then some. I tend to wind it in the morning and at night so i dont forget. It feels nice and always draws attention just to see the workings of a watch. The price was value and I recomend the watch to anyone wanting a skeleton watch.
