This watch caught my eye as I have been looking for the "Perfect" skeleton watch. This was close but no cigar. Don't get me wrong, it's a fantastic watch and keeps time well. The problem I had was that it looks slightly different in the picture than it does in real life. The bezel that contains the roman numerals is not white as it appears in the photo, its Stainless Steel. If the bezel were white, it would pop more in my opinion and look better. It's also slightly smaller than I'd hoped for but that is totally subjective because this is a great and reliable watch either way.

Pros:
1) Keeps time very well for an automatic.
2) You'll get plenty of compliments wearing it.
3) You can feel it winding which tells you it's working correctly.

Cons:
1) Smaller than it could be.

Overall, great watch and I wear it frequently.

This review is from: Kenneth Cole New York Men's KC1515 Automatic Brown Leather Strap Watch (Watch)

I was really excited to receive this watch. The Roman numeral markers and the watch's skeleton mechanical look fit together to provide a magnificent watch to worn with semi-formal or casual attire. After the watch arrived I removed it from the box and gave it the initial wind up. The KC1515 ran exceptionally well on my desk as I examined the mechanics (just to make sure it was running well) of it for about half an hour. I then put it on and this is where the problem started. Upon putting the watch on my wrist I noticed the entire movement begin to slow and then stop. While the case is horizontal the movement functions well, but when the case is vertical the movement slows until stopping. After a little experimentation the watch began to "malfunction" even while horizontal. It seems that the watch is very sensitive to the movements of your arm and it hinders the mechanics. Now, I hope that I only received a bad watch. I have since sent it back to Kenneth Cole (Geneva Watch Group) in order for it to be examined and hopefully replaced. I am however a little irked that I have to send a "brand new watch" back to the manufacturer and spend another $8.50 for shipping... Hopefully I will have better luck next time (and when the replacement arrives). It is a Chinese movement! Sometimes you really do receive what you pay for!
