Carrie Hughes Mens Steampunk-Styled Automatic Watch Bronze Skeleton Leather Self-Wind Wrist Watches CH12(CH437)

As long as you understand that this is in no way a real Tourbillion watch then your expectations will be surpassed (it is just an open heart automatic).The print is amazingly fine and crisp on the face of the watch. All of the subdials actually work. They aren't fake and the day/date actually do advance during the night some time between 11:00pm and 12:00am for the date and 12:15am-1:00am for the day. I thought I should mention this because one of the buttons on the right side of the watch changes the date. I thought it was a strange design and thought that maybe they made it as convenient as possible because it wouldn't advance by itself, but that isn't the case. It does in fact advance by itself.The year goes up to 2018 which is a bit of a turn off, but I bought this as my first mechanical. By then I'm sure to have more watches.I'm not sure how well the automatic winding works. I haven't owned the watch long enough to make a decent opinion on it. I do believe that the rotor should be a bit heavier though. When I'm at my desk on the computer I don't believe I'm generating enough momentum for it to wind automatically with the subtle movements of my arm (Touching my face, drinking, etc). I would just make sure to wind it every morning to be sure.The strap is beautiful aesthetically in my opinion. It is also very comfortable after spending a good 20 or 30 minutes rolling it up to break it in faster. The inside of the strap seems to be real leather, although I'm not sure what the outside is made from. Looks to be some kind of faux gator skin. It looks nice to be honest. The outside feels a bit plasticy, but that doesn't bother me since I'm not touching the outside of the strap.This is a great looking watch for a very good price. It's amazing that they can build these with such accuracy and so many features and still make a profit selling them so affordable. Buy with confidence (as long as you have a trusted dealer willing to take returns/replacements if your watch gets there DOA).Summarized version: This is a lot of watch for $30-$50. I would definitely recommend this to anybody wanting an elegant automatic/mechanical watch. I will buy more more from Jaragar in the future.Edit: It's been almost 6 months since I've had this watch. It still runs and works perfectly. There are absolutely no scratches on the face or body of the watch. The only place there is wear signs is on the buckle of the wrist band which is expected. It still looks brand new. It keeps time accurately. Mine runs at about -15 seconds a day which is still very accurate. There was a little bit of moisture inside the case for the first time (this happened a week ago from this day) but as soon as I opened the back casing it was gone (this watch is very easy to disassemble). I just wiped the seals clean and put her back together. The date and month buttons do get pushed on accident every now and then. This would be my only complaint about the watch. They made the buttons too easy to push in. They should've made them debossed (like the day and year buttons) instead of embossed. It happens maybe once a week depending on what you're doing when wearing the watch. The self winding does seem to work to an extent, but daily winding of the watch is required if you want as accurate time as possible.I've gotten plenty of compliments on the watch and I still wear it all the time if my outfit warrants it (more times than not). I'm still VERY happy about my purchase and would recommend this watch to anybody.

As it states in my title, make sure that you remove ALL of the plastic or the watch will not start. After you unwrap the face of the watch, there is another piece of plastic on the back of the watch!!!This watch is beautiful. It keeps excellent time. It hasn't ran fast or slow. I'm hoping that it doesn't start doing that because so far I am impressed with how well it keeps times. You definitely have to wear it the majority of the day or it will stop, before you wind it again in the morning. When you wind it each morning, wind it clockwise .. which should be going in the direction away from you .. if you're holding the watch face up in the palm of you hand. After you wind it, MAKE SURE, that you repeat the step of holding it and swinging you arms 45 times .. this will help it stay wound for the rest of the day while you wear it. If your watch is like the one that I received, you have to set it counter clockwise. You can turn it the other way but it will turn the hands backwards, which I don't think makes a difference, but just to make sure I set it with the hands going clockwise.The first day, I wound it, set it .. held it face and swung my arm 45 times and it lasted until the next day. I didn't wind it in the morning, the second day that I had it .. so it stopped the following morning. It comes with an instruction booklet, a nationwide warranty and thank you card, and a KS tag in a nice box.If I know that I have to take it off for any reason, then I swing it the 45 times once .. sometimes twice depending on how long I plan on keeping it off.I'm giving it 5 stars because it is a beautiful watch, and it works very well if you follow the instructions as closely as you possibly can.

The quality of this watch is much higher than you would expect for the price. I actually purchased this for my wife. The coloring of the dial and case are perfect for her. The strap on this also looks slightly better than the simpler black straps that come with the black or white dial variations (which I also have). What I mean by this, is that the strap has a more padded texture, giving it a more 'premium' feel (if you can call it that on a very inexpensive watch!). This strap along with the low profile case make this a really nice watch that won't disappoint.

Very disappointed. I've owned this watch for roughly two weeks and yesterday I heard a rattling noise in the watch as I was walking so I took it off and discovered that the self winding mechanism has broken loose and is bouncing around freely in the watch case. I am very disappointed in this as it was my favorite watch.Update: The seller acted very swifty once I submitted a return request, instead of retunring the watch they kindly sent a new free of charge! Along with the email notifying me that my new watch had been shipped they also explained how I could repair the old watch myself. I appreciate this seller's commitment to customer service and I am very happy with my repalcement.

Great watch for the price! First of all it looks great both the face and the band. Now for the cheap stuff....1. There's a white flake stuck to the inside of the rear mineral 2. As for the small red hand, it just continuously follows the second hand, so it does a full 360 degree loop but has 180 degree read out. 3. The crown feels flimsy.

It looks great. It has run well. But I have had it only for about a month, and has worned it only on weekends. I have owned many of these cheap skeleton watches. They are not durable and may break easily. So I have been gentle with this one. I know to expect what I pay for. I would not vow for durability. As long as one expect what one pay for, like I do, I highly recommend it.

Great fun watch. Does not look cheap at all. Wear it all the time and it gets noticed. BIG and the winder is BIGGER. Seriously, the winder is huge but adds to the uniqueness of the watch. Love the face. flat finish with the impressed hours. Looks great next to any pricey watch.
