VIGOROSOMen's Vintage Full Copper Hand-Wind Mechanical Second&24hours Sub-dials Pocket Watch in Box

I am very impressed so far. I have only had the watch for a few days, and I have only owned one other mechanical watch before. However, this watch was much more than I expected.First of all, the build looks and feels very solid. It is all metal and glass, not plastic is visible. The face has a finely screened details, not the blurry low detail mess I see on some watches. The hands are finely detailed as well, with the serpentine style adding a lot to the antique feel of this watch. I am very impressed with the appearance.The watch is aged to look like it is antique. The brass has a worn look to it. The back is textured with dark aging in the crevices, giving the feel of a piece that has been in many hands for many years. The texture even appears worn in a few places as an antique piece of brass would after being used for many years. It looks like a used but very well maintained watch. It even looks like there is a bit of oxidation at the base of the stem, just as an antique piece would have.The chain feels antique as well. The links are made of a folded piece of brass preserving the antique appearance of the watch. It has a clasp on both ends so it can be detached from the watch if desired. EDIT: the lobster claw clasp on the chain has broken; the spring came out and not it does not stay closed. I am not concerned as I didn't really use the chain anyway.As would be expected for a watch from the period this one appears to be from, there is no illumination on the dial or hands. The styling is period appropriate without being gaudy.This is a mechanical watch. I don't know what the movement is, but it is beating at 21,600 beats per hour or 6 beats per second. The two sub dials on the front are functional as well (something I wasn't expecting given the price and from the description). The left dial is a 24 hour dial, making it clear from a glance if it is morning or evening. The right dial is another second hand (it has seconds on the center and seconds on the sub dial), though the two second hands are not synchronized.Power reserve is adequate. Twenty turns of the crown (which is about all it will accept) will give it 29 hours of run time, which is standard for most mechanical watches. It is automatically winding as well. Wearing it for a day gave me another 5 hours of power. While this is not enough to power the watch on its own, I was carrying the watch in my pants pocket (that little one I never used to use) and so it didn't get as much movement as a wristwatch would get. It would be enough to carry the watch over for a little while longer if I forget to wind it in the morning.My watch looses around 26 seconds per day as measured by my time tracking app. By far not chronometer grade, but very acceptable for my purposes especially given the price.Overall, I am very impressed with this watch. It is exactly what I was looking for, a watch to go with my portable sundial/compass and sextant, all in brass and all for a nautical theme.EDIT: So I just accidentally dropped my watch. It bounced off my knee, hit a wooden chair, bounced off my desk drawers and hit the wall landing on the carpet. Not a scratch, and the watch is still ticking. I am not saying you should regularly do what I did (my heart just about stopped while this was happening) but this watch can take some abuse.

Nice weight, finish and feels solid. Glass face...not plastic. Good looking. Easy to wind and set. One winding and it will work over entire day. Overall: Excellent Quality. Well worth the price...low.

After two previous purchases of other similar pocket watches that simply didn't hold up, this one truly keeps time within a minute on a weekly basis, looks as solid & as elegant as the photos, & is very easy to read. Also, with the glass face & back easily distinguished by feel there is minimal fidgeting when wanting to glance at the current time.I would likely have given it five full stars as a rating but, to be completely honest, I had my reservations concerning the redundancy of the small second hand dial on the right although now, as opposed to the photo display on-line, the large & small second hands are both in sync & thus give me more confidence in the accuracy of this splendid time piece; also, the chain, while a quality piece in its own right, is a bit too bright & with an open-close clasp that requires more manipulation than the slightly longer & more subdued brass chain with a simpler slide-on clip that I had purchased separately for under ten bucks.But now, overall, I love these combinations for this very comfortable, attractive & highly functional mechanical watch that, as an added plus, requires no batteries whatsoever -- this "retro" product is a must-have & a great gift for others as well.

I'm a collector of mechanical watches. Some are over 100 years old, and several newer ones that are inexpensive, but unique in their design. Most of the newer ones that are not self-winding have identical Chinese movements, which are somewhat lacking in accuracy and durability. That's not the case with this watch.The clockworks are surrounded by a Teflon spacer. and there is no visible manufacturer information on the clockworks. Nonetheless, nothing about this watch looks or feels cheap. the stem feels solid when winding, and smooth when setting, the watch has some weight to it due to the thick metal casing, and the crystal is made of real glass. After several weeks of constant use it hasn't lost or gained a single minute, which is rare for any but the the most expensive mechanical watches. It is advertised as being solid copper, but it appears to be brass; no complaints here.The chain clasp doesn't clip onto a belt loop, but rather hooks onto the chain itself, much like the pocket watch chains of bygone eras. If I have any premature failure of any kind then I will post an update, but as it stands now I'd be impressed with this watch it If I had paid 3 times for it what I did.UPDATE: After a year of constant winding, use, and carrying the watch works as good as new. The antique patina has grown even more attractive with time. I'm pleased to say that I would purchase this watch again; in fact, I've already bought another one as a gift for a friend. It's a beautiful and accurate time piece that I expect many years of good use out of.If you want one then my experience reflects that it's a good buy and a wonderful gift.
