When I purchased this watch online I was very excited. It looked beautiful. I couldn't wait to get it. Once I received it and showed it off a little bit everyone loved it. People would randomly grab my wrist and stare at my watch and tell me how mesmerizing and awesome it was. I loved it, especially the way I could see the gears moving while it worked. BUT then one day, about a week after I got it, I took it out of my watch case and wound it up, but instead of winding, the hands spun like I was setting the time. I pulled the pin to the "out" position and turned it, and it wound the watch. This is opposite of the way it should work. The next day when I went to wind my watch (the correct way) it wound a half twist of the pin then started making a grinding nowise and then stopped winding and just spun freely. When I pulled the pin to the "out" position it wouldn't adjust the hands. Now my watch lies cold and dead in my drawer of other useless gadgets and watches.

This product caught my attention because of the low price tag. I was buying another watch but just wanted to try out that these 20 dollar watches are actually any good or not. To my suprise this watch is just as good as shown in the picture. It is working perfectly fine.
However, if you think that you can get away with making other feel that this is even a 200-400 dollar watch then don't bother buying it. People are able to see that this watch is a under 100 watch. The look is great though just like in picture.

The photos for this watch show a shiny, two-tone metal casing when in reality the metal is plain steel and one color. Also, as another reviewer observed, the dial on the watch is not even centered properly! The numbers are all rotated to the right of where they should be. This is hard to see in the photos but is somewhat evident. This watch is inexpensive, sure, but no watch should be manufactured this cheaply no matter the price. Lastly the band is a stiff synthetic material that is difficult to bend around your wrist. Maybe after using the watch for a long time it loosens up, but I returned this watch almost as soon as I took it out of the box.

I have a similar watch in white and blue. These watches usually have minor QC defects, and can usually be found on ebay for $10-20 including shipping. If you get one that works, its decent for the price.

Note : Watches like these are made out of chrome plated pot metal and not stainless steel. The case isn't brushed or polished either.

The second day I had this watch the band broke. Not a quality band at all. I had to buy a new one. The watch looks really cool but I have to wind it twice a day.

Don't waste your money. This watch gets all the great comments, but didn't work! How cool is it to have a watch setting on your shelf that won't keep time because the stem is not making contact? Sorry piece of workmanship.

Meh.....Its alright. It works very well but something about it just isn't that attractive. Not that impressed with the design but to each his own.

The watch was shipped out rather promptly and arrived on time. I am happy with the shipping service; however, shipping service is not why I purchased this watch. The flaw that I immediately noticed was that the face plate of the watch was placed slightly offset over the mechanics of the watch. Though it is just a superficial flaw, the only reason to buy a cheap mechanical watch are the superficial elements. As such, I can not recommend this watch to a friend or family due to the poor build quality that I have experienced with this manufacturer. That said, the winding mechanism works fine and the spring runs out of energy after a little more than half a day. The size of the watch is fine for anyone that isn't obese or isn't built like Arnold Schwarzenegger(in any of the decades preceding the year 2000).

edit: the flaw that I noticed is actually present in the 2nd picture provided by amazon where the holes on near the 7 do not line up.

got the watch two days after i ordered it so that's a big plus, so far i like it. watch looks nice the leather straps feel little cheap but then again its only $22 for the watch so you get a nice watch for cheap, one of the leather bands unglued as soon as i put it on but that is easily fixed with some super glue. not a bad buy my friends like it too.

I purchased this watch for my husband for Valentine's Day. He absolutely loves it! The watch is very well made and looks great on my man's arm!
