Steampunk skeleton watch

If you want an automatic skeletonized skeleton skeleton skeleton watch within the $30 price point, this is one of your best choices! First of all, this watch is not meant to tell the time! This is a decoration to your wrist! It still keeps a great time, but mainly to decorate your wrist. Why I say this is because it is hard to tell the time with this watch since the hour, minute, second hands are all hollowed out, and there is no indication on the dial to tell the specific minutes. What I want to point out is this. This has no dial to indicate the time, hollowed hour minute second hands, and skeletonized, All this are designed to maximize to exhibit the skeletonized movement! When you see your wrist, you will just see the abstract looking skeletonized movement with moving balance wheels and escapement first before hands to tell the time. Also, the color of the second hand is bright red, recognizable even from afar that "this is a watch". So when you're sitting with your coworker or your friends, the tick tocking bright red second hands AND abstract looking skeletonized movement with moving balance wheels escapement parts will sure catch their eyes! I have already gotten many people asking about what's on my wrist be like, hey is that a watch? (YESSSSS) When you look on your wrist, you'll see the moving parts, and without knowing, the time passes by as you gaze at it. Even you look at your wrist to see the time, sometimes, you gaze at it for more than necessary to admire at the moving parts and end up killing your time. (A watch that can kill your time is a good watch) If I were to point out the downside of this watch, it will be the thickness of the watch, cheap metal, and the crown. The case of the watch is slightly thick for the wrist. The watch itself are skeletonized and uses cheap metal for the case, feels like you’re wearing cheap watch. I guess that’s what $30 price point has to offer. For crown, if you have a big hand, you will have difficulty from manually wind your watch. But this is an automatic movement watch. You don't need to wind them if you wear them daily since the back rotor of the watch will automatically wind it for you as you move your wrist. Overall, for $30 for this skeletonized mechanical automatic movement watch, I'm satisfied. This watch can get people's attention, it is a skeleton watch that able to see the moving parts, no battery needed automatic movement, and can gaze at the watch to kill time without knowing! But this is not a watch for people who value in quality of metal used for the case because it feels cheap due to its lightness. And also it’s not for people who want a watch to immediately tell the time because there are no indication. You will have to stare at it for bit. This is a watch for you if you value at looking at the moving parts of the watch movement. Great watch for the price!

This is my third foray into cheap Chinese skeleton watches and the only one so far that has lasted more than a month. (To be fair the first one -- another Gute -- may have broken because of me bashing it too hard against something.) I LOVE IT. I actually really like the skeletonized design more than others I was considering: in this one, you can see most of the balance wheel, much of one of the other fast-moving gears, and another gear that moves more slowly but discernably. It's really fun to watch it go -- almost hypnotic. It's also a conversation piece -- others are mesmerized by it as welll. Other things: I don't have trouble reading the time from the black hands but mileage varies, I guess. My watch gains about a minute every day. The automatic winding seems to work pretty well to keep it wound if I put it on my dominant hand and I'm active all day (not sitting in front of a computer, moving my arms around a lot with my kiddos), but if it's on my non-dominant hand and/or I am at my desk during a work day, I have to manually wind it regularly. (it will often last for two days if on my wrist, but I usually just wind it every day so I don't forget.) Anyway I am really pleased by how well it works for the price!

Good looking and good price BUT it's extremely difficult to read. In bad light, forget it. Problem is hands are very thin and blend with the background. Hands painted with a color, not black, would help.

I have an automatic watch turner and my watches are dead and the pendulum are not turning. All of them are the same way so I guess I'm going to return this easy to use quality and durability

Love the look and great price, nice watch and keeps time pretty good.

So many compliments on this- paired with the tool band from Amazon and it’s a total man watch. Edited review - I thought at first I wasn’t moving much during the day but I’ve learned this version and internals don’t allow the automatic spinner to freely rotate as it should to really wind up the watch automatically. So… It does require winding maybe once a day depending how many winds you put in. Maybe high class automatic watches don’t need rewind as often but this was worth it for a nice tool watch I don’t mind banging up as a secondary. I grabbed myself a nicer primary more elegant automatic watch though

It looks cool but that is it! It couldn't keep time for an hour accurately and that's not me being funny that's the truth! If it kept time it would be an excellent watch but for now it's in the box where it'll stay for good!

Great skeleton watch for the price. Though if you want beauty and quality, look at higher priced watches.

Pour le prix c'est un excellent choix

Fue un regalo pero Le gustó muchísimo. Es súper bonito

Realmente fue excelente ya que ahora la mayoría de los relojes vienen a mi parecer en tamaño muy exagerado y éste su tamaño es perfecto y por el precio realmente estoy satisfecho.

Esta bonito el reloj y a muy buen precio

Se atraza y esta corriente
