Some say that smart watches will revive interest in watches
Update: After a month or so, stopped keeping decent time. I,wear it occasionally as a bracelet/fashion bauble.---------------I confess that I haven't worn a watch for more than a decade. My cell phone ended my need for a watch. The whole Apple Watch idea got me thinking "why spend hundreds of dollars to not had to take my phone out of my pocket". Some say that smart watches will revive interest in watches...and I guess I am such a person. So a watch is no longer about telling time...but is jewelry first, telling time second...after all, you still have your smartphone in your pocket. This watch fits the bill at a great price. I've only had it for a week, but it's keeping reasonable time. If I cared about amazingly accurate time I'd buy a Quartz watch. This watch has brought "wearing an analogue watch" back into my life. The band is cheap which is good. I want all of that $40 going into the watch itself, I can buy a new band.You can't tell time at night or in low light. But again, this is not a "time piece first". It's a good looking man bracelet that tells the time reasonably well. All the gadgets that I used to want on a watch (stop watch, alarm, calculated, multiple time zones) are all much better on my smartphone than on any watch. So for $40 you get a good looking piece of jewelry without spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on a Swiss watch.Of course, this watch won't fool anybody who's into expensive watches. But that's no concern of mine. Good looking watch, great price, keeps reasonable time

Awesome!!!
This is my first wind up watch and it's hands down the coolest watch I've ever bought! I had searched for other wind up watches but I always seemed to go back to this one. I didn't want to get a watch that was to cheap but I also didn't want to buy one that was to expensive. The watch runs and performs well for me. It does gain about 35secs a day but in my opinion, that shouldn't be a big problem. When I first recieved the watch, the wrist band was somewhat stiff, so I decided to bend it a little to break it in. That turned out to work well because now the band feels like actual leather and is quite soft. Other reviews say that the watch is small, but it's actually a normal sized watch. If your looking for a cheap watch, I would recommend you get this watch because it does come with a one year warranty. Not bad for a watch that's only $35!!

Great Watch For The Money!
I gave this watch 4/5 stars only because I don't love it enough to wear it every day. It is a great watch, especially for the price. I can't attest to the product life because I don't use it or wear it daily (usually once or twice a week) I have found that it keeps time accurately while being worn. I wind it about 15-20 times before I put it on and forget about it the rest of the day and it keeps time with my phone. I really like the black and gold colors together and really like that the gold in it is not gaudy like most watches today. Favorite things about watch are the skeletonized face and the band. Least favorite things about watch are that it isn't quite as big in diameter as I had hoped and the face is slightly more convex than most higher end sekeltonized watches. Overall : Great buy for around 30 bucks!

Looks exactly how I want it to, self-winding slight issue plus intermittent stops
Beautiful watch, it's great to be able to see all the little pieces constantly moving to help the watch keep time. There is a little window in the top center that shows how wound the watch is, so it's easy to see how much longer it will keep going. It also keeps time quite well--I only have to adjust by a minute or so once a week.The main issue with the watch is that the self-winding does not seem to work well enough. I'm a teacher, so I spend a fair amount of my time walking around and moving my arm (and watch). However, I usually have to spend a few minutes every day to just shaking the watch to keep it wound. Otherwise, it will stop working in the middle of the night, and I have to reset it in the morning. It isn't a huge issue, but something a buyer should be aware of. Otherwise, a great product!Update, 7/7/15: About once a week the watch stops moving, even though it's wound enough. You have to tap the face a few times to get it to start up--shaking won't help. A minor fix, but it does often mean by watch is off by a few hours by the time I notice.

Good looking but easily broken.
Don't get me wrong, the watch looks lovely and is really visually pleasing. The downside is that I had to order a replacement 3 times because it kept breaking. The seller was good about replacing them but the first one had a broken dial, the second one's hands wouldn't stop spinning around the face, and the third and final one had a band that snapped. Mind you, all of this and the wearer only had the watch on for two weeks at most.If you like the look of skeleton watches I would spend the extra money to buy one that doesn't fall apart after light wear.

Neat design, however it didn't work for one day
The watch looks cool, but if what the seller says about it being charged by motion is true, then when it ships, it will be dead by the time it arrives to you. The manual is written in extremely broken english, that isn't comprehendible, so when you read that to ry and fix it, you won't be able to. I got it, and it was broken within the day, despite my wearing it and nothing unusual happening. The design is neat, but something is wrong with it as it doesn't work.

Excellent eye catching watch
Bought this for my college daughter and sent to her as a surprise her 1st term to tease her for being late to class on the first day. She absolutely loves this watch and constantly gets comments on it. She raves about how easy it is to keep wound and not have to replace the battery in this one since it winds it as you walk each day. I don't know what it is with her and watch batteries but they seemed to die constantly in other watches she's had before. Very quality watch and definitely an eye catcher. One note is that it is pretty thick off of the arm and doesn't sit flat. That's probably what makes it more eye catching for people to notice. My daughter does not like small feminine watches so this was perfect for her.
