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.

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!

recieved my watch a week before estimated shipping time, and its GREAT.
works perfectly and looks much more expensive than what i paid for it.
excellent value,
THANK YOU AMAZON

EDIT:
2 months later, just as beautiful as when i got it, but...
THATS NOT HOW YOU WRITE FOUR IN ROMAN NUMERALS!!!!!
Its IV, not IIII

Nice skeletal watch, can see most of the mechanism. It is a mechanical watch and so have to be worn for most of the day for the spring to be wound and the watch otherwise will stop. I use the key option and it works for more than 24 hrs if the spring is fully wound by using the key.

I got this watch for my husband's birthday, and he loves it. It looks great with his everyday outfits, but it is beautiful and well-crafted enough to go with formal clothing as well.

I'm very impressed with the look and quality of this watch. I have skinny wrists, so I would say it looks a little large for me, but I don't care. I will be checking out more Kenneth Cole watches in the future. It really looks like I paid a lot of money for this watch. Much more than the $100 bucks or so.

The watch looks absolutely beautiful in person (as stated before though what looks white where the hour marks are is actually stainless). The only problem is this watch runs about 7 minutes fast per day and so far dealing with the company for a repair/replacement has been difficult and slow. Great looking watch, but it doesn't perform its essential function.

I picked this watch out for my boyfriend for a Valentine's Day gift. We both love it and it works wonderfully. It's a beautiful piece of art.

I was looking for a nice skeleton watch to round out my collection and stumbled across this one. Out of the box ran fine, 0 issues and looks even better than the picture. This watch is neither big nor small, but average size. I have 4 other watches and the face matches up with them all. I'm not usually in to leather watch straps, but the watch face was nice enough that I could overlook it. Great watch would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a skeleton watch.

he picked it out online and I bought it for him, its even better looking then the picture describes. absolutely fantastic.
