Vintage Hand Wind Up Pocket Watches for Men, Mechanical Pocket Watch with Chain, Mens Skeleton Pocketwatch

Beautifully crafted 100%

I really think these are good wind up watches worth their money. They'll get you through, and you don't have to replace any batteries, as long as your patient enough to wind them up at least once every 36 hours or so. That will keep them going. I got tired of replacing watch batteries years ago, so these kind of watches are all that I will by now. I love them, and they work great!

Used to use it for work since I don't like having anything on my wrist and we're not supposed to pull out phone out in front of guests at work. Every time I pulled it out I got some sort of comment or compliment on it. Everyone loved it. It's a wind up pocket watch, so it'll live forever.. With that said, if you let it run for long amounts of time (say 23-48 hours) you'll start noticing that the time very slowly becomes inaccurate and need slight readjusting. Honestly it just gave me another reason to pull it out, so I didn't mind it much. Look wise, it's gorgeous and I've had friends ask where I got it. It's fairly durable, although I did have to do some minor maintenance on it as a strand of hair somehow got into the watch itself and tangled in the gears. But it was easy to take the covers off and remove that hair carefully with tweezers.

This is my first pocket watch and I have been happy with the watch performance thus far. It keeps good time, I have not had to reset it since I got it. Given that is it's main function I would give that a 5 star for that. I like the open design that lets you see the movement (the mechanical bits inside) but with that comes a flaw of the design. The hands of the watch are a serious issue. They are very pretty but small and thin. On a solid dial they might be fine, but with the open dial they can be hard to see. The hour hand ends just before the dial numbers (which is normal for a watch) but this means that none of it has anything but the movement behind it. The minute hand is only slightly better as the tip is over the dial ring a little. It would have been better with a more beefy set of hands. Also just a nit-pic, but could someone tell them the roman numeral for 4 is IV not IIII. I mean seriously they got 9 and 11 right how did they mess up 4?

Not much more than a Halloween costume piece. Glass is plastic. Top dial popped right off when trying to set time. This looks nice but won't last more than six months. If you're looking for a prop, go ahead. Otherwise, don't waste your money.

Great quality at a great price. It is a beautiful piece, I really loved it.

So pretty to look at.

I was delighted with this watch when first it arrived...solid and handsome. It worked well for a few months, then began a quick decline...stopping inexplicably after having been wound, then... yesterday it stopped and cannot be wound. I am very disappointed.
