Alright so for water resistance, value for the money, accuracy, and value for the money, I am giving respectively; (between water resistance and accuracy) a 3 out of five, and a 2, averaging in my perspective 2.5., simply because I never would honestly try to take a shower, with this watch, because it's nice, ie I want to make my watch to keep working and not take risk that far. For accuracy, I just would say a 2.5, simply because this watch I have noticed does lose minutes when I fall asleep, and if it's deep still enough sleep, it has, (as I have noticed like today and maybe yesterday) and can, lose about an hour. I forgot how exactly much it was.Finally, for value for the money, I cannot really give an accurate idea of how nice this watch really is, at this point in my life, because $40? A watch that works for $40? They make self winding watches that look this nice, for that cheap? This has been my dream watch for decades, and I can't really believe how nice it actually is. So, for that reason, and as a person that is not in fact currently rich/wealthy, I cannot give a clear description of whether or not this is as good of a watch as it looks. I don't know what it's like at all, to keep thousands and thousands of dollars on my wrist.I have learned, however, with this watch, that there are definitely levels, to watch-wearing. Some people are really good, and some people are not. I found out, with this watch, that I could and did get used to wearing it all the darn day, ie 24-7 pretty much, except for taking showers. That's about my style, wear it super focused, even in your sleep. It is very heavy, and I used to only wear it to church every few weeks, but after about a year or so now, I have learned that there is quite a bit that an individual can do with basically a weight, on the wrist.So, if you want to get a significant magnitude up the learning curve of knowing what time it is in the traditional, slow-and-steady, alice in wonderland white rabbit, that classic business, start with this.The only way I can express how I feel is to say that this watch makes me feel smart, but I have nothing to compare it with, nothing, I just can't believe how well it works. Thank you

Great watch but poor band
I really wanted to give this 5 stars as it hold the time and doesn't die overnight like many cheaper watches. My only issue is the black band that comes with it pops open so easy. Within the first day, it popped open about 8 times so I replaced it with my own band.

Great watches at a great price!
Love these watches. I ordered one to see what you get for this price, figuring if it was junk I didn't waste that much money on it. That was the black/gold finish. Got the watch and included with it was the pin removal tool to resize the watch band. 2 minutes later the watch was on my wrist. I wanted an automatic watch, no batteries, as there is nothing like going to put a watch on only to find out that battery is dead and has to be brought to a jeweler to have it replaced. I put this watch head to head with my Bulova to see how accurate it is. I let them stop and wound both of them by hand 40 winds which gives the Bulova over a day of reserve. This watch kept up with the Bulova in both accuracy and reserve. The watch is heavy compared to the Bulova, but not cumbersome on the wrist. When wearing, the automatic mechanism definitely keeps the reserve level up and I have yet had to wind it while wearing it. I liked the first watch so much I now own 5 of them. They are all great. There are many times I choose to wear one of these over my Bulova as I don't want to risk damaging it. I get many compliments when I wear these, and having the different color finishes give me the ability to choose depending on my attire.

Read instructions, if this is your first mechanical learn how to locate the mainspring
Update: Watch stopped working at 2:10p after less than a day. Wasn't the mainspring as it wasn't wound down. Turning the crown does nothing. Possibly defective parts. Worked an office job and had it on my left hand during meetings, used it to enter a meeting at 1:30p before noticing at 2:15 that it had stopped running at 2:10p. Will attempt a return.This is a stupidly great deal of a watch. Let's get through some rather quick basics:-I'm wearing it during stay at home pandemic so can't really judge the automatic winding mechanism fairly. That being said, I'm no stranger to winding watches.-When you first receive this watch, more than likely it will need to be wound. If you have good eyes look for the main spring, it's a coiled spring in the upper right of the face. It should be fairly coiled into a cylinder, if you see spaces inbetween them, tighten it: Turn the crown(the knob) clockwise a bit, if you have good eyes you can follow the mainstring as it tightens. Every morning if you're in a desk job or don't move or wear the watch frequently enough you'll have to wind this up a bit to keep accurate time. otherwise it'll slow down. This is a STANDARD of mechanical watches - IT IS NOT A FLAW. If you can't see the mainspring just give the crown a few clockwise turns until you feel tension then stop. You'll get the hang of it. Shouldn't take much every morning unless you don't wear it all for a few days.-Hey tinkers and watch makers/repair geeks! You can remove the face! Which makes this a a full skeleton if you wanted to swing that way or have an alternate face you want to kick in for funsies. Nothing too weird or abnormal to expect on my review of it's internals. As you are well aware it is still a mechanical watch, and stupid easy to break/lose parts with - so be careful.-Non-Watch tinkers. You can go to any watch shop, or jewelry store to get the links removed/adjusted. Most do it for free. You can also buy a link removal kit online and watch some youtube videos to learn to do it yourself. The pins that hold the links in place are nothing too fancy, just elaborate clips that have one direction(marked on the links) you have to push them with. A pushboard pin can do it, but really you should get a kit. It's like $7, comes in handy. Or just stop by a jewelry store/repair shop. It's a great idea to find a repair shop too when you have these mechanical watches as you may need some repairs down the road(such as a new spring for example) or if the face gets scratched.
