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!

this is a beautyful watch more so than the pictures can show you.
i have had a few issues with it loosing time but i believe its the clasp pulling up on the knob
while its in my pocket.

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.

this watch looked even better in real life. you can see all the way through it, which from the picture it looked like you could only see into it. My friend was impressed and loved the gift. It totally fit him.

One star for looks. The Watch does not keep time. It's good for up to two hours, but then not so much. DO NOT BUY THIS WATCH. Save your money and get something better, not made in China.

I've just got the watch today. Such a fast shipping! The watch looks really nice. I bought it for my friend as a birthday gift. I know this watch is second rank in top ten pocket watches . Thank you Watchvalue so much!

Got this as a thank you for my best man who went all the way to Italy for my wedding. He loved it, I loved it. I wish I got one for myself. Five stars!
