I''ve had this watch about a month or so now. The first one I received I ended up sending back because it would not keep time. I followed the instructions carefully, and even called customer service, (they were very helpful, by the way) but to no avail. In hindsight, I was not used to a watch that you had to wind, as this watch has no battery. I think maybe the watch I sent back was fine, and it was operator error that didn''t allow it to keep time properly. In either case, make sure you keep in wound. It is self-winding, but I always give it a few winds when I put it on and usually a few more once or twice a day. Since doing that, I''ve not had any problems.
It comes with a "leather" band. The inside of the band is leather, but the outside I''m not convinced is. Not a big deal to me, since I changed it out anyway. To me, though, it felt as if the band would start to develop cracks in it if it was worn regularly, since it was so stiff.
The watch takes a little getting used to, not having any hands. You have to be able to actually read the numbers to tell time, not just glancing at the hands. That also makes it difficult to read in dim light, since the watch has no back-lighting to help you read it at night or in dim light situations.
Overall, so far I enjoy the watch. It''s just so different than I''m used to seeing. It''s a fun watch to wear, but I prefer to use my other watch, too, if I want the simplicity of just glancing at the hands to tell the time. The quality of the watch seems solid to me, and I believe the price to be reasonable for what you get. I don''t think anyone who is curious about it would be disappointed in it. It''s a neat, solid, heavy feeling watch.
