I like this watch. It is light (If you want a "heavy feeling as are many older pocket watches", this is not it), inexpensive, and seems to be pretty accurate. I've had it about 3 weeks, and it seems to have gained 4 or 5 seconds at most. Good, as I prefer a "fast" as opposed to "slow" watch. Arrived on time, in new condition with tags and instructions. The date or day had to be set a little different than described, but I think I it was as simple as just cycling thru the 12AM time a few times to sync up.

Cons are- 1. Watch is a little difficult to see/read in some light. The hands are quite thin and the gold/white will blend in somewhat. 2. The box- nice- but seems "over-nice". Would have preferred more is invested in the watch quality as opposed to the nice box. 3. You need to ALWAYS push/release the watch stem to open face or you will damage the case clasp closure at some point. I see this applies for a lot of inexpensive pocket watches, so I guess his is the norm.

Summery- Good, Inexpensive and Accurate Pocket Watch, that is sometimes difficult to read in certain light conditions. Excellent price- 4 Stars

This is the third Colibri watch I have purchased,all have exceeded expectations except for one common problem,the setting directions,this one has been the most difficult,you simply have to set by trial and error,since the direction's do not seem to be model specific,but I got it set,the day date dials are a little hard to read in low light,but the overall appearance is in my opinion, outstanding for the price,if anyone needs help setting,send me an e-mail,I will be happy to help.

Nice watch. The three eyes are a little small for me to see, but in the right light, everything is OK. Easy order process quick response and delivery. A good purchasing sxperience.
