Nice watch, questionable marketing
I bought this watch on a whim. While wading through the really bad English descriptive marketing material posted about the watch, I ran into this description about the watch's movement - "High-quality movement, non-industry low-end movement" posted in the picture section about the watch. At the time, the watch was selling for $60+ and I just had to smile. The pictures of the watch were gorgeous and I decided to purchase it anyway. I bought the one with the green face. I just got it and looked at the watch under magnification. It is gorgeous. I haven't opened the back yet but I will because I just have to check out the movement and see if it meets the standards posted about it. ;)There weren't many reviews posted about it yet but there was some obvious misinformation regarding the watch and other items that shipped with the watch. I'll address those now. One poster complained that there was a "sharp needle-like" item that came with the watch and suggested that buyers should throw it away. The item he described is actually a pin remover for removing links from the watch. I already have a nice pin remover I my kit but decided to use the one sent with the watch to adjust the watch's fit for my wrist and it is an OK pin remover. I'll put it in my kit as a backup. If you don't have a pin remover you might want to keep this one.The other complaint that I read suggested that the movement wouldn't wind enough to keep the watch going for more than a few hours. This watch is powered by a self-winding mechanism, an automatic watch. All automatics can be wound manually using the post used to set the time on the side of the watch. You pull the post out one click to set the date. You leave it in to wind the watch. On this particular watch it is the "button" in the middle. Simply leave it in and turn it clockwise. I usually wind automatics 30-40 times but as I'm still unsure of this watch, I wound it 20 times before I went to bed last night and it is still running now, the following afternoon. It has not gained or lost time in almost 24 hours.I'll come back after a few weeks and report how it does over a longer term and I've had a chance to open it up and examine the movement. So far though, I have to say I am pleasantly surprised at the visual quality and the care taken to preserve it during transport.The bracelet is stainless steel and feels substantial. It has an unusual double clasp that works flawlessly.Another observation, this watch is manufactured and assembled in China. Bear in mind that this is not necessarily a bad thing. Chinese watch making has gotten markedly better over the last few years and some of their automatic movements are quite good. I'll put this one under the magnifying glass soon but for the time being it looks and feels like a bargain for a $100ish watch.One last observation, the visual appeal of this watch is simply stunning. I like it a lot.

Great for Father's Day gift or for yourself
Bought this watch as a gift for my father and he absolutely loves it his only complaint of it is that it is difficult to set the time and date if it stops charging it is good value for the money size is what it says in description it looks very very nice almost like a Rolex The ease to use is not all that great according to my father but still would highly recommend

Beautiful watch and a good automatic watch for the price
Beautiful watch, but not very accurate even for an automatic. If you want quartz accuracy, no automatic watch will satisfy you so this is not the watch for you. However, even for an automatic it's not that great; the one I received arrived running several seconds a day fast with a low amplitude of around 150 degrees. I will probably attempt to take it apart, clean, lubricate and adjust it at some point since it's so inexpensive, even if I screw it up it's not a big loss. But given all that, I love the look of the watch and it is certainly accurate enough for me as a wristwatch; I'm not keeping the trains on time.One important thing to note though is that the month and year dials are not connected to the watch movement. They are adjusted by the pushers only; the month does not advance automatically when the date passes 31 days, and the year does not advance automatically on January 1st.

Looks expensive. Works like it looks, although a little fast.
Sometimes the images on a product make it look a lot better than reality, but when I opened the box I was not disappointed. It really is a pretty watch. I only wear it when dressed up - I would not make this my everyday watch. I've worn it swimming and in whirlpool tubs with no leaking. Mine tends to gain about a minute a day, but who cares.

What a disappointment
This watch ran slow from the day i go it. Now after a year and half of use it does not work at all. It is a beautiful looking watch and that is where the good points about it end. The black band that looks so nice is now loosing its finish as well...very disappointed.

Good looking
Sharp looking, automatic watch for a very reasonable price. The date and month feature are hard to see. I had to YouTube the watch to see how to set all the features. This is very important, YouTube the directions.

Clasp doesn't stay closed
Great watch! Keeps the time, easy to operate & wind. But the clasp won't stay closed. With just regular movements it opens up. It almost went flying when I threw the ball for my dog.
