DentilyMen's Skeleton Watch Classic Roman Numeral Steampunk Mechanical Watch Hand-Wind Mens Watches (Blue)

Learned that this type of watch is a mechanical wind up watch. You grab the crown that adjust the hands, twist clockwise while it's still pressed in to activate the spring inside which THEN starts the clock. May need to do this once or twice a day just to make sure the clock is at full just so it won't stop, but it beats having to rely on a battery. It's also very nice to look at, and watch the gears literally turn. Fun conversation piece as well since you literally show the components in style. Give this watch a try, it's worth the price once you understand what you have in your possession.

After a year and a half of using it every day and loving it, the 12 oclock has fallen off inside the watch and will fall inside the gears and stop it from working. Unfortunately until I get it fixed or replaced I will not be able to wear it any longer.

This watch is certainly beautiful and fascinating to see the the workings.BUT I bought this in August, by October it was unreliable in timekeeping and by November it had failed.This was the second watch by this manufacturer that I had bought (didn't learn the first time!).So I bought a Timex at Target. The previous Timex was good for 20 or 25 years.

Before this, the cheapest watch I've ever owned was at least $150. And when I saw mechanical watches for around $30 I figured this would be a fun little experiment to see the difference in quality. Well color me surprised, it's much better than I expected. Not amazing my any means, but definitely worth the price.Pros:- It's very good looking.- Spring lasts roughly ~23 hours before completely running out.- Comfortable.- Light weight.- Pretty accurate for a cheap watch, it was about 2mins off after the first 24hours.- The spring is visible through the front so you can always tell when you should probably wind it up a bit.Cons:- The band feels cheap. I dont think it would hold up for too long under continuous use as I am pretty active, will be replacing it soon.- Build quality leaves a bit to be desired but for the price it's definitely fair.This was definitely a fun little addition to the collection.

I recently discovered these watches looking for a stylish men's watch that didn't break the bank. I love the nostalgia of a mechanical watch and the steampunk/skeleton design is elegant in it's simplicity. I have never had a complement on any accessory before and now I get them constantly. I am a professional bartender so the details matter. I now have 4 colors of this model because they absolutely elevate any outfit. *One note of caution- it is NOT waterproof!(but would you wear a $4000 watch do do dishes? Same logic, take it off.)

Bought this as a little gift to myself, but as soon as I took it out of the packager to put on, the clasp doesn't fasten securely and the watch keeps falling off. Sad. Its very cute, but I need something more durable.

Grandson loved it.

A wind-up watch has no battery to worry about.. I wind it a few times a day when I use it. It very pleasantly Reminds me of my GrandParents. I have the black/gold version. It is smooth to wind up, keeps time perfectly and is very attractive. It adjusts easily. I get compliments often. It's light yet does not feel or look cheap. I recommend to anyone who appreciates the beauty and simplicity of a wind-up watch. The craftsmanship is impressive! I am greatful for the affordability.
