5.0 out of 5 stars a work of art, cleverly disguised as a timepiece, September 5, 2010

This review is from: Kenneth Cole New York Men's KC3828 Automatic Gunmetal Ion-Plated Bracelet Watch (Watch)

I bought this watch for my better half for his birthday. It's held up quite well; we haven't had to have it polished and it has stayed in nearly mint condition, despite his taking it on and off. He bike commutes and sometimes works in an architectural woodshop, and hasn't managed to scratch or break it yet. The picture does not do this watch justice. It is a truly beautiful sculptural timepiece. You can see all the working of the watch ticking away from the front and back, all the little gears whirling about.

He has gotten sooooo many compliments on it... one of my girlfriends pulled me aside and begged me to tell her where I bought it, because it was the perfect "man-gift". Our vet stopped mid sentence to say "that is the neatest watch I've ever seen". Most of our male friends want to know where they can get this watch for themselves; most of our female friends want to know where they can get this watch to give it to their husbands/boyfriends.

If you're quirky, technical, and the type of person that appreciates precision and "how things work" (e.g. architect... engineer... etc) this is a fabulous "statement" piece.

A few negatives... this watch doesn't have a large engraving area, so if you're getting it for a birthday/anniversary gift, that's a slight negative. You can wind the watch by hand if you don't wear it every day, but it needs a bit of movement to keep going. Lastly, there is no indicator of how much "juice" the watch has. I have a women's citizen ecodrive, and it starts ticking every 2 seconds when it really needs to be charged up.

The negatives don't detract from the watch... I know he loves this piece more than a normal engraved watch, and he wears it every day, so the "charging" issues are really not that bad. But for some, they might matter.

4.0 out of 5 stars Love the watch, but photos are deceiving, May 3, 2011

This review is from: Kenneth Cole New York Men's KC3828 Automatic Gunmetal Ion-Plated Bracelet Watch (Watch)

I would have given this 5 stars, but the photos show a dial that's much more black in color. The title says "gunmetal" and I think that's the color description of the watch dial, but that wasn't clear to me when I ordered. The dial is much more muted/subtle than what's shown, practically blending in to the rest of the case.

That said, I still really love this watch and am pleased with my purchase. It's very eye-catching but not too large on your wrist. It's a nice, weighty piece.

A word of caution: I owned an automatic KC watch before that was water resistant to 200m, but one trip to the pool ruined it. I was very annoyed with this, but willing to order again because I love the KC styling so much.

The watch was exactly what I wanted it looks great, and the price was perfect not to expensive and nto to cheep my only mark against this watch is the metal band and o be adjusted a few times to fit my wrist but besides that its perfect in my opinion really helps start a conversation when someone sees his watch. Skeleton watches are definitely the way to go if you want a interesting looking watch.
