5.0 out of 5 stars
Solid watch that's worth the money, August 22, 2009
This review is from: Avalon 17 Jewel Mechanical Skeleton Silver-tone Pocket Watch with Chain, # 8410SX (Watch)
I bought this watch because I needed a way to tell time, but can't really wear wrist watches anymore. The price at Amazon was just over 50 dollars, lower than many of the other mechanical pocket watches listed at Amazon. Since the watch was "cheaper", I will honestly admit that my expectations were not really that high. I was pleasantly surprised with this watch. It has a nice solid heft and feel. The lens is crystal and not plastic. The workmanship seems to be solid and quite handsome. The gears and springs are visible through the front face of the watch, and through the round 'window' in the back. I am very pleased with this purchase.
As with all mechanical watches, keep in mind that you should not wind the spring too tightly!

Pretty Good, November 29, 2010
This review is from: Avalon 17 Jewel Mechanical Skeleton Silver-tone Pocket Watch with Chain, # 8410SX (Watch)
I gave the watch 4 stars for what it is. Its a GOOD cheap Chinese pocket watch. Don't expect the quality of a classic Waltham or Elgin - but if you want a nice watch to carry around without fear of busting something up that is 50+ years old.
Keeps good time, movement is pretty sound, spring is a bit weak as is the winding mechanism. I work on a lot of motorcycles, the watch isn't taking a rough beating but it is holding up under more than 'for show' situations.
I'd recommend it to anyone who prefers pocketwatches to wristwatches, but wants something new and simple.
