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

I bought this pocket watch, and while it was very pretty (I wore it around and got compliments on it), its construction was clearly cheap (scratched easily, and paint flaked off). It broke after a month of regular use being carried around and regularly wound (a full wind seemed to last ~30 hours); the mechanism broke and it simply wouldn't go.I got a return approved, and was told to ship it to an address in China, and had to pay out of pocket. The shipment was unclaimed, and returned to sender so that was pointless anyway. After talking to customer support, I got a refund approved (including for part of the shipping cost), but this process was very time-consuming and not very consumer-friendly.If you're looking for a prop that doesn't work (and to be fair, a lot of my reason for getting this was the aesthetics), then this is an excellent option (albeit an expensive one for a merely decorative piece). However, you could pay twice as much and get something of a quality that will last. Hence, I cannot in good faith recommend this.

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!

doesn’t keep time at all very disappointed as it was a gift for my son

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?
