Keeps the time as good as you could want. I like the quartz movement and ordered it particularly because it was not mechanical.
Nothing about it is fancy, but it is substantial and looks and works as expected.

I have not had my watch but a month or so but it seems to be holding up very well....It is small and comfortable in my pocket.... It is fairly easy to read and has a very nice looking face and numbers.... I am well pleased with my purchase.....

Bought two for my sons. Neither were functioning on arrival. The operating instructions for the first, misspelled, and on a 3x5 piece of paper, gave little indication or advice - "Battery change is trough (sic) the pop-off back cover." An internet search yielded nothing. A jeweler's loup finally showed the narrow indentation through which one could pop the back cover off ... if one had a small enough screwdriver. This done, the battery was revealed, nestled on a plastic slip. Slip removed, battery renestled in its place. cover (made in China) repopped on - watch still does not work!

Operating instructions for the second were identical to the first. The second's back cover is screwed down, and the screw heads are far smaller than any screw driver I have ever seen.

Conclusion: Neither watch works, both will be returned.

My recommendation: this is cheaper than cheap: my guess is manufactured costs are less than 1/10th discounted retail. It shows it. A bit more care would make this a nice showpiece for a young man. Others are available. I advice you go elsewhere: we will.
