This is a Chinese no-name brand. However, for the price, you are getting a lot of watch, and if the style is what you like, go for it! Just don't be suckered into thinking this is an expensive Swiss "time piece".

Chinese manufacture is not per se a bad thing, but as with many Chinese products, quality control may be excellent or may be very shoddy, and availability of parts and repairs is likely to vary as these brands and sellers appear and disappear. The watch forums show that this company is paying attention to customer service and - it at least one credible post - seems to be taking extra steps to insure repair customers are taken care of well. However, prospective buyers should search the Amazon reviews on these watches carefully - not just this watch but other models - they will discover a host of quality control issues with this company.

Many take exception with what they find is deceptive marketing and pricing done by this brand. In particular, the true origin of these watches is never honestly stated. I think the country of origin should not be hidden, but instead revealed somewhere in the ad, because that type of information is useful to the watch-buying public.

The ad copy for this watch is intended to make the buyer think this is a swiss watch. The words "Swiss" or Switzerland" are used 5 times in the first paragraph. Buyers are served up a load of malarkey about "traditional Swiss techniques" and "Swiss heritage", "Swiss watchmaking" and "antique German machines". There appears to be a genuine desire to deceive the unsophisticated buyer into thinking this is a Swiss watch.

Then there is this notion that this watch is an "Heirloom". This is a $150 watch to wear and enjoy, not an "investment". The artificially inflated prices are posted to mislead unsophisticated buyers into thinking they are saving big money on these low-cost Chinese watches. There is no "investment value" in this "Stuhrling time peice"! (spelling from the other review)

Do not be fooled by some of the glowing reviews - if you look at many of the 5-star reviews carefully you will begin to see they are posted by shills for the company. It's funny that the only 5-star review almost perfectly echos the party line on this watch...I wonder who posted it? Check the strongly positive reviews for this watch brand all over Amazon - you'll see they follow a common script.

This is really a very sharp looking watch and i get comments on it every time i wear it. Seems to be a high quality product. Packaging is very nice..comes with a nice storage box and documentation. Online registering of the watch was fast and easy. Very pleased with my purchase of this product.

recomiendo ampliamente este reloj, es mucho mas de lo que se observa en las fotos referenciales del producto.
siempre hay quien sale y me comenta lo increible del reloj, sumamente llamativo..

The watch is very nice. A bit heavy though, wasn't expecting that much weight. This was a retirement gift and was very well received.

This seller is amazing!! They have some of the lowest prices on the internet, great shipping, and wonderful merchandise!

My husband always thinks I have spent a ton when he receives these watches. I am always smiling in the background, because I know what an amazing steal I have gotten.

Thanks

This watch impressed me! I bought it after view a video in Internet but when I received it I saw that it is even better! Perfect big size for a man, can be used as casual or special occasion!!!

I purchased this for my husband for Christmas and he was extremely pleased. He collects watches and didn't have a Sturhling. The quality of this watch exceeds the description. Its elegant and weighty. He will definetly want another Sturling for his collection!!! I would certainly recommend this to anyone especially if you're looking for a perfect gift for him. Thanks again !!!!!

is a decent automatic watch for the price... i bought it as a present and it was well received so no complaints so far it works and keeps good time.

My fiance has been looking at watches for about 2 years. We have had to watch all the watch shows on TV, but he is very frugal and had not bought one yet. I decided to surprise him with this one for his birthday, and without even knowing it this is the exact one he had been looking for. The quality and collectibility of this time piece is worth the price. It is a skeleton watch with a little style along with the ability to see the precise and intriguing workings, unlike most that are just about what's going on in the inside. The packaging it came in adds to the knowledge that you have just purchased something that will be cherished for a long time. Everytime he wears it I catch him just staring at it and then I know all the research and money was worth it!! We will definitely be investing in another Stuhrling time peice in the future!

Not quite sure about the chinese watch comment. Looks pretty good to me! Nice weight to it as well. Not too heavy, not too light. The detail in this watch is fabulous. Highly recommended.
