VIGOROSOMen's Automatic Mechanical Watch Day Calendar Leather Band Arabic Numerals

It's unbelievable to me how they can make an automatic watch that looks this good for so little money. Mine keeps perfect time, and stays wound throughout the day as I wear it. When off my wrist during the night it loses its energy and is always stopped when I wake up (about a 5 hour reserve; much less than advertised). Sometimes the date seems to not want to advance along with the time either, but will advance with the crown pulled to the first click and rotated counter clockwise. These small inconveniences don't matter to me as I realize the limitations of such a cheaply manufactured watch. Also, I don't wear it every day and I don't mind setting the date and time for the day and then winding it before I put it on. If I'm in a real hurry I'll just grab a quartz watch for the day. Anyways, the band is rather cheap but looks fine at a distance and could be easily replaced. When looking through the back window of the watch you can see the movement ticking along and there are some visible rubies too. I hope this watch lasts at least a couple years as I really like the way it looks, similar to the Longines Master Collection design! The good thing about Amazon is if it dies in the first month of ownership, I will return it. After that, there is a 6 month warranty included with the watch from the manufacturer. And after that, well, it is cheap enough to just buy another as it would cost much more than the watch's value to get it serviced. So overall, a great disposable mechanical watch for nice occasions. The watch arrived on July 12 and I will update this review if and when it completely dies. So far so good!Update 2-16-2022: it's still alive, but I only wear it once every 2-3 months. Still looks nice and keeps good timeUpdate 7-4-23: second hand got hung up, time stopped advancing , after winding started working again but I don't really trust it anymore for relying on time keeping. I only wear it a couple times a year now. Face still looks nice, band isn't very comfortable, very plastic feeling, shows wear after only a few uses.

An attractive watch with classic styling, nice weight and feel in hand, and comfortable on wrist. I was initially pleased with the watch, pleasantly surprised that a $16 automatic watch could seemingly be so good.Within 24 hours of wear I noticed the watch had stopped so I wound it again by hand and made sure to deliberately shake my wrist periodically throughout the day to keep it wound. It stopped again two more times in as many days leading me to conclude the internal counterweight wasn't rotating and, therefore, couldn't provide the kinetic energy necessary to keep the watch functioning.Rather than return the watch through Amazon I contacted the seller for support as the paperwork accompanying the watch requested. Customer support (via email) was prompt, courteous, and helpful. With apologies they offered to send me a new watch and did not ask for return of the original. Unfortunately the new watch was Dead On Arrival. It didn't work at all.One might be tempted to say, "you get what you pay for", or, "what did you expect from a $16 Chinese made watch?" Well, I figure even a $16 Chinese made watch should adequately perform its most basic function: accurately telling time. I don't expect the same accuracy, build quality or longevity I would from a Rolex...or even a Seiko...but, c'mon. Also disappointing is that no one seemed to have even bothered to check to see that the replacement watch worked properly before shipping it out.I was prepared to write a positive review of the replacement watch but obviously that isn't possible now. So my recommendation is to save a little more and buy a little better. If you want a recommendation for a reliable good-looking automatic with sapphire crystal, steel case, and a proven, reliable movement (Seiko 8215 movement) consider the Starking model AM0171. It's about $60.Update: I just returned the non-working $16 watch through UPS. I was told the box in which I packaged my return had to be in a $2.99 Tyvek envelope as per Amazon. Can't wait for my $13 refund. Lesson learned.

I've had this watch about a half a year. In terms of value for price, it is an excellent watch. I must emphasize "value for price". There are better mechanical watches on the market. But all of them cost more, and some cost a lot more. So my five stars is based on what I got, for the price I paid, not a relative measure versus other mechanical watches. This watch runs over 24 hours on a full wind just sitting still. If I wear it, and take advantage of the auto wind feature, it keeps it going. I can't ask for any more than that in terms of "working".As for performance, it runs about 1.8 sec fast per hour on a full wind, and tends toward 2.5 as the spring unwinds; I expected the opposite, but it actually runs faster as the spring power decreases. Overall, I expect it to runs about forty to fifty seconds fast per day. This is fine for a watch at this price point. Second had does not hack.The stem is difficult to pull out. I actually have to use a small precision screwdriver for this purpose. If you don't have strong fingernail, popping the crown might be difficult for you. The detentes for time and date are very distinct, and the set movement is light. Winding resistance is somewhat heavy, but not too difficult."Leather" band is nice for this price point. Not stamped, so not sure if it's a leather grade or plether of some kind. Considering I've bought basic leather bands that cost more than the watch itself, this one does the job.I didn't have high expectations when I bought this watch, and so far it has exceeded them. Only time will tell if it continues.If you don't mind the issues I've described above, and are willing to sacrifice performance issues for price, this is a great watch.Looks are magnificent.
