Bold, Blingy, and Surprisingly Practical—A Wrist Statement That Knows What Time It Is
I picked up this watch for my husband, who has exactly two fashion modes: “I just woke up,” and “surprise wedding guest.” I was hoping to find something that split the difference—and this gold-and-blue beauty totally delivered. It’s sleek, shiny, and just the right amount of look at me without crossing into “trying too hard” territory.Let’s start with what hits you first: the dial. It’s big, it’s bold, and yes—it sparkles. The blue and gold color combo feels classic with a twist, and the Roman numerals + diamond-style accents give it that luxurious “I have my life together” vibe, even if your socks don’t match (no judgment).But beyond the looks, this thing is actually really functional, which pleasantly surprised us:The chronograph features work smoothly (we tested the stopwatch, and it kept perfect time—great for workouts or timing how long it takes your kids to put on shoes).The date window is placed right where you’d expect at 3 o’clock—no hunting around for it.And the quartz movement has been dead-on accurate since day one, without any skipping or lag.What we liked:Black stainless steel band is sturdy but comfortable—he wears it all day with no pinching or wrist fatigue.Water-resistant enough for everyday life (he hasn’t gone deep-sea diving with it, but handwashing and light rain? No problem).Dressy but not stuffy—it works just as well with jeans and a button-down as it does with a suit and tie.Bonus points:It’s got just enough flash to start a conversation, but not so much that you feel like you need security to wear it. Think “subtle swagger” instead of “I just hit the jackpot in Vegas.”A few tips if you’re considering it:It’s a larger face watch, so if you prefer minimal or low-profile styles, this one leans bold.The band is adjustable with a basic watch tool (or a jeweler if you’re not into DIY).All in all, this is a sharp-looking timepiece that punches well above its weight in terms of both style and performance. My husband gets compliments every time he wears it, and now suddenly has Opinions about watch design—so that tells you something.

Trouble resizing
I ordered this watch for my husband. It looks nice and professional. My complaint is that I can’t resize the wrist band. It came with a tool to resize the band. I’ve done this with several different watches before so I know the process. The band is marked with arrows with the direction you need to push the pins through to make the size adjustment. I could not get the pins to would not release, I tried them all. Now, I have to take it to a jewelry store to resize the band. I find this very frustrating. It seems to keep the time just fine. I’m on the fence regarding value since I’m going to have to pay to get it resized.

Beautiful and elegant
Thos men's watch is the perfect mix between function and elegance with the royal blue coloring, diamond accents and the perfect mix of gold and silver to bring any man in your life the perfect gift.When first getting the watch opening the package it comes in a perfect gift box the blue matching the watch accents, I side is the watch instructions how to set the watch and a black tool. Once the watch is exposed to a bright light or in the sun it gives off a soft glow if you go into a dark space so you always know the time. The watch itself is bit stiff and difficult to change the links, and it feels a bit heavier than other watches but the build quality is strong amd durable.At first the watch was a bit big and I had to figure out how to make it smaller the black tool I found out is to help you remove links to get that perfect fit. Instructions included tell you to scan the QR code to get a video on how to use the tool bit when scanning it it sends you to the sales page not a how to. I ended up having to use YouTube to figure out how to use it. The overall use is easy as long as you know how to read an analog watch amd is worth the value you buy it for. I defiantly would buy again may be for my dad or brother

Handsome and accurate, but not for those with a low frustration tolerance
To start with, there were no instructions included with the watch I received. I'm ignoring that fact for the purposes of this review, because I'm assuming that omission to have been an anomaly and that the instructions are normally included. However, if I factored in the lack of instructions in this review, the rating would quickly go down to just two stars due to the complexity of removing links to fit the band to the user's wrist.The ad states that the watch comes in a gift box. I think that description is a bit of an embellishment. The box is rather plain. Since I'm not giving this watch as a gift, I threw away that box.The watch itself is quite good-looking, and the band appears to be strong and well made. The two ends clasp together with a mechanism that is easier to release than it is to re-fasten, and I wonder about the durability of the two-pin mechanism that secures the two ends. However, for now it seems quite secure.The biggest problem I experienced with this watch had to do with sizing the band for my wrist. There is a tool included that's designed to drive out securing pins to allow removal of links. I assume that if instructions had been included, they would have explained how to use the tool. The bigger problem, though, was the flimsiness of the tool. It's all plastic except for the punch that's supposed to drive out the pin. there is a bed in which the band is laid and a screw-in punch that you align with the pin securing the link. You then turn the handle of the device to drive out the pin with the punch. However, there are two very serious problems with the process, even once you figure out how to use the tool (which I assume the instructions explain). The first problem is that the drive mechanism is rather weak plastic, and tends to override the shaft when pressure is applied. At that point, the tool becomes useless. The other issue with the process is that the pin securing two adjacent links is sort of a miniature cotter key. The means that it can be driven out from only one side, and which side is not identified. You have a 50% chance of guessing right. Once you do manage to drive out the pin so that the "rounded" end of the cotter key protrudes, pulling it the rest of the way out is easy.Re-assembling the band when you've removed the link(s) necessary for the band to fit your wrist is comparatively easy. You simply push the non-rounded end of the pin in through the holes in the links, and then finish with the supplied tool if you haven't yet broken that tool. I finished by pressing the pen home with a vise.The description says that this watch has a "tachymeter bezel." No, it doesn't. That's not something that 99% of people have a use for anyway, but as you can see from the pictures on the page advertising the watch, the bezel is plain polished stainless steel.The only other comment I have is about the stopwatch function. There are, indeed, three small dials that show elapsed seconds, minutes, and hours. Unfortunately, they are all but unreadable. They seem to me to be smaller than what is shown on the ad page, and I need strong light (and a magnifying glass if one is available) to be able to read the dials. The date, however, is legible.
