I bought 3 of these as groomsman gifts for my wedding a bit over a month ago. They all arrived in short order after ordering.

The watches each looked slick, and all of the guys really seemed to like them. I can't really comment on their durability or how well they're performing in regards to time-keeping, but I'll be sure to update this comment if I hear anything from the guys.

3 minor caveats, however: 1) the 'stand' (that second section that flips out from the back-side of the watch) is connected by a simple hinge that barely supports the weight of the watch - so I don't think these would serve long-term as a desk clock (as I was thinking they might, if called for). 2) The watches arrived in a box that seemed a bit big for them - with no plastic cradle to sit in (they were just freely moving around in the box) - so it took a little bit of prep-work on my end to make them them presentable as a gift. 3) One of the watches arrived with the chain disconnected from the actual watch... but after looking it over with a magnifying glass, I was able to easily snap the connecting U-joint onto the watch... and it appeared to be as good as new.

Even considering those 3 minor drawbacks, this is definitely a 4-star purchase as far as I'm concerned.

I ordered two of these, as gifts, for a father and son. One arrived with a broken chain. Unfortunately, I had sent it directly to the person, so they wound up having to have it repaired. Most embarrassing. I don't believe I will be purchasing another Calibri.

The watch is beautiful and seems to work very good. The problem is that the release button fell out and after putting it back in several times it eventually fell out in the wrong place and I was not able to find it because it is so small... Also the long pin which holds the face cover on has a tendancy to work its way out......I guess you get what you pay for....

I bought this for my husband but he did not like the side opening so I got him a different one. I kept this watch for myself and hooked it to the inside of my purse so I would not lose it.

If you are looking for an heirloom pocket watch you should move on from this one. However, this Colibri is well worth 2 or 3 times more than the price I paid here on Amazon. All protective covering was in place when received, and the gift box unmarred. The quality of construction surprised me, the hinges and clasps seeming very sturdy. Well bought.

My husband loves this watch. It is heavy but very handsome. I dont like how the back always come off.
It gives access to the guts too quickly. Seems like it is not secure.

Have always like Colibri watches and this one has turned out to be pretty good. Still working. I believe it is a year old or more and my husband works in a lot of dirt and water.
