5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful design, good execution, April 12, 2009

This review is from: Armitron Men's 204406SVSV Automatic Silver-Tone Round black Dial Dress Watch (Watch)

This watch has an amazing design. The plates above the mainspring, balance wheel, pallets and stem have been cut open so that most of the moving parts are on display. The back is an exhibition back, and the screws on the are anodized to be a blue color. The rotor also has a nice hole cut into it, so that you can see through the watch in many places. This is a beautiful watch to look at.

The band has solid links with a fold-over-pushbutton-safety clasp that works nicely. The movement hacks and hand-winds.

This is an inexpensive mechanical watch, so there are some issues with it that don't detract from the 5-star rating:
The seconds hand isn't a driven hand, meaning that it isn't in the middle of the gear train between the mainspring and the escapement. That means that it might be a little loose, and have a jerky movement when the seconds hand is falling. This is a SeaGull ST16 movement or clone, with all of the issues that come with it.
The other main issue is that the finish isn't great, but is definitely appropriate for the price this watch is selling for.
The lume on this watch is so ineffective that it might as well be white paint, which covers the hands and dots.

Neither a con nor a plus, this watch doesn't have any complications, so there is no date, 24 hour hand, day of week or other indicators, but skeleton watches with those features aren't nearly as beautiful as this watch.


Summary:
If you are looking for a beautiful skeleton watch to be a nice piece of jewelry at an inexpensive price, this is a very hard value to beat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Watch., November 30, 2008

I purchased this watch a few weeks ago. I really love it. The arm band pinches hair once in a while, but I would imagine that problem would be with all bands of this type. It's kind of cool to watch the gears turn. Never have to wind it after the intial wind. I would say noone could be disappointed with this watch. I would buy a second one for a back up if I had money to waste.

I like it! Out of the box I had to wind it a couple of times and it's run ever since. I like also (not that you would see it during regular use) that the back is glass as well. If you take the watch off you can see the mechanism that winds the watch, very cool! Armitron makes very good watches that last quite a long time, you can't go wrong.
