VIGOROSOMen's Sport Day Date Black Leather Automatic Self Winding Watch

Bought this watch because I wanted to check the time at work without getting my phone out and because I like the mechanical aspect of the watch. The automatic charging works fine for me since my job requires lots of movement. I can see and read the time clearly. The big numbers for the hours and the little ones for the minutes makes it very easy for me to tell the time. It keeps time great! Maybe off by a 1/4 of a minute but never less or more. The calendar has not worked so far. It requires me to manually change the date. (which I kind of like) I changed the band as soon as I got it. The one it came with fit fine and looks good but I was going for a WW2 watch and this one looked the closest for the price, just bought an another band for it and it looks like what I was going for. A good watch overall I haven’t scratched it yet but I imagine it’s only a matter of time with my job. I would recommend.Edit: The calendar DOES work, the watch would just run out of “power” during the night and not change the date. Just wind it up before you go to sleep and it’ll be fine.

So for only owning it for a few hours, this is my review.Pros-· Very nice finishing· Nice domed crystal· Rotor spins great· Date feature works good· Tells the timeCons-· Nasty smudge on the rotor· Absolutely terrible band· Questionable material for the case· SLIGHTLY out of time according to my Timegraher.Now for a breakdown.The finishing (polishing) is great. No ripples or anything, everything is as it should be. The crystal is a very nice domed crystal that I really love. Some people complained about the rotor spinning bad, and when fully wound it does but whenever it needs winding it spins great. The date feature was complained about some too, people said that it wasn't returning straight like it should. Mine works great. I also really love the dial, it's a nice military/IWC style that is very nicely finished. Even the 'Winner' and the hazmat sign with wings are finished nice.Now to complain:There was a nasty smudge that got on the rotor, no idea what it was, I don't want to know, but it required a little alcohol to remove. I HATE the band, it's a terrible material that pushes against the side of your wrist. A NATO/ZULU strap is highly recommended. And I believe the case is stainless, but there's one spot on it that makes me wonder. Very very small indicator that it is plated, but it's so small that you can't tell unless you use a microscope. I believe it is though, judging by the weight. Regardless, it's nicely finished. For $29.66, I can't complain. It had a very tiny amount of beat error, but other than that it's functioning as it should. I have yet to test the water resistance, but it does have a gasket on the case back.All in all, I love this watch. It's exactly what I expected, if not more. This will be a watch I wear alot, intending to get beat up. If anything changes, from now (May 1st, 2023) I will update this post.All in all, for $29.66, this watch is worth it. A mechanical watch is a beautiful watch, regardless of the price. This is great for a beginner to working on watches or horology in general, I highly suggest it!

This watch worked perfectly fine for maybe 2 weeks. The crystal used for the case back and I imagine the dial as well are both made of very thin, brittle mineral glass. First the case back completely cracked, and the movement itself stopped functioning about a week later. Watch is now a dead paperweight. When it did work, the movement was accurate enough for the price, the watch featured both hand winding as well as an automatic rotor, albeit the rotor never was able to really spin freely, always seeming to rub against the inside of the case. Should you get this watch given the price? I'd say no, you're better off getting a quartz for the price, if you want to get into automatic mechanical watches, you might just have to spend a little bit more. I can't recommend a watch it it's just going to break itself, no matter how inexpensive.

For the price, this watch is great. Wasn't expecting much, but it exceeded expectations. Wanted a cheap watch for work that I don't have to worry about messing up. This is it and more. Solid watch, I like the curved crystal, and it looks great on my wrist. Keeps time just as good as my automatic Bulova. The strap is sturdy and looks fine with the watch. If you want a low priced, good automatic watch, you won't be disappointed with this one.

Very beautiful watch with the nice wristband.However, these watches just don't hold up either stop. Working or the little dial falls off the little thing you use where you can no manually.Winder, changed the timeThis one is very pretty, but it's the same that it's unusable

Shocked at how well this works! Have worn this watch during my last deployment to SWA and it does the job. Kept decent time, never failed me, and looks almost like an IWC. The movement is cheap and winding is not high quality but for automatic movement works great and it survived a rugged deployment. Wore it everyday in Kuwait, Jordan on runs and convoys. Still looking good. Put it on a NATO strap (found on Amazon) immediately, recommend buying a strap for it. Minimal investment and adds a lot to the watch’s appearance.
