Dude, get this watch if you're interested in automatics
Well? What else is there to say? Get this watch if you're interested in automatics. The movement is so satisfying to watch, though there is a decorative plate on top that covers some of the movement, kinda disappointing. I love looking at everything moving and can't see everything with this watch. That's okay though.I was interested in automatic watches but put off by the prices of so many, for example a seiko 5 is like $80, and I don't usually have $80 to spend on a watch. This was a good alternative, at only $20 and with an automatic movement!It does seem to lose time throughout the day, about 1 or 2 minutes, and overnight it stops. Just be prepared to wind this and reset the time every morning. Some people may find this annoying, but personally I just added it to part of my morning ritual, like making coffee. Wake up, make coffee, take a shower, wind watch. Not that big of a deal takes like 20 seconds to reset the time.I don't know how long this is going to last, the band seems to be ripping a little bit, but fortunately, it has a replaceable band with spring bars so you can get a NATO band or anything else you like.Before this past week I had no interest in mechanical, automatic, analog watches. I didn't even wear one. But for whatever reason they peaked my interest and this was a great entry into the world of watches at a reasonable price. And if you want a watch to take apart and see how it works, this is only $20 so you don't have to worry about ruining a high value watch.Great value for money, I'm overall very impressed, and definitely satisfied with my purchase :D

Works perfectly and looks beautifully made
Mine arrived exactly when expected and it was working right out of the box. I ordered a different band when I ordered this watch only because I knew I didn't like the crocodile leather band. For someone who liked that style it seems like a sturdy well made band. I can't give a review on it fully because I haven't worn it. I've had the watch for a few days and it's been fully functional. Keeps time, and I've only had to wind it once. I feel as though the negative reviews for the performance might be due to people not knowing what a mechanical watch is. There's no battery so you do have to wind it otherwise it won't work. As far as looks go it's stunning. It is on the larger side but that's what I was looking for. Sits higher on the wrist because of the thickness but it goes well with how the watch looks. Perfect steampunk wrist watch for an alternative look.

Attractive Skeleton Watch At A Bargain Price - NOTE - Not Self-Winding
This is a great watch and exactly what I was looking for. Skeleton back, attractive look and dial.That being said, I want to point out that this is NOT a self-winding watch. The page implies that after you wind it, the watch keeps time on its own because its self-winding. Well yes it keeps time BECAUSE YOU WOUND IT. Self-winding watches DO NOT require winding. So for people who think they are getting a self-winding watch that runs off the movement of your body for $25, think again.

Looks- 3, Function-0.1
Looks nice, but stops working w/in 3 wks.I was hoping to get a good self-winding/mechanic watch like I had when I was a kid; no more batteries to change or dump. The price was slight higher than most of the other value battery watches, so I thought it would be OK.First watch came in. It looked good, was working OK. The self-winding function didn't seem to be working well, but I didn't mind hand winding it. After @ 3 wks, the gears jammed. I could not wind it up & it stopped running even when I can see that the spring was wound up ( this was a "skeleton" watch- so one can see the spring). It was w/in the return period, so I gave Amazon another shot.Replacement watch came in w/in a week. It also looked good. It, again worked OK, but self-winding function was not optimal. I went to Disneyland & DCA & even without submerging it, moisture somehow got under the crystal while riding Grizzly's River Run. it's suppose to be at least water resistant. Since then, the watch stops running here and there without warning; even when the spring is wound up. I'm not going to try for another exchange. I'll consider it lesson learned.

Cool watch for the price!
Styling of the watch is nice, steampunk, but nice enough for most occasions. I love that you can see the movement front and back. Band is a nice leather, but I'll probably change it at some point. Not sure about accuracy yet, but short-term is as good as a battery operated watch, so 4 instead of 5 stars for that. I'll update if it deserves a fifth star. Not waterproof according to documents. I'm not going to test that, but that's one thing I don't like so far. I chose this cool watch as a re-entrance into mechanical watches again. Haven't owned one for years. It's exactly what I expected for a great price.

I'm Delighted!
It is a great-looking watch, looks like it was expensive. I grew up with wind up watches, this has the added bonus of self-winding while you move your arm all day.Although most of the inner workings are covered by a faceplate, you can still see movement and the faceplate gives the illusion of more workings inside the watch. All three hands, hour, minute, and second hands, glow in the dark.It's keeping very accurate time. I love the steam punk lookI don't think I've ever loved a watch so much, I usually by cheapos with batteries that die quickly.
