ESS Mens Black Leather Automatic Mechanical Watch Skeleton Swiss Design Man WM096

I love this watch. It took a week before the movement lightened up and now the watch runs through the night just from being auto wound through the day. It is an inexpensive and simple pleasure to have a zero electronics conversation piece that looks nice on your wrist.

Honestly tricked my friends into thinking this watch was a high end designer brand. Looks expensive.Build quality isnt perfect and my leather little strap broke after a while but for $15 it was a good buy

At less than $15, there is not a better mechanical watch that looks as elegant or works as functional. It took much less longer to ship here from China than I thought, so props to the seller and the shipping services on that. When I first opened it up, it was miraculously still running, and only 5 minutes off the right time. How that happened, I have no idea.Anyway, I found that the build construction of the watch is extremely durable. The main rose-gold body and functional parts of the watch appear to be made of stainless steel while the black part of the casing seems to be a sort of die-cast. I would take caution in bumping the watch on the black part though, as the paint does seem to chip and scratch easily. I saw that many other reviewers did not care for the band, but I find it comfortable and complements the overall look of the watch. It does seem like it may break after many, many on and offs, though, but I see that it can easily be replaced since the bars that hold it in place are removable via springs.The functionality of the watch itself is accurate and convenient. The watch takes a lot of winding though, which should be expected because it has a large power capacity. I usually wind it for about 10 minutes in the morning while watching a video, then I wind it occasionally throughout the day while it's still on my arm. I don't think I will ever wind it all the way, just to prolong the life of the spring. (A side note about winding, after a while, I noticed the winding became harder after a few days, even if the spring was nowhere near wound the full way. This can be fixed by popping the crown out, then pushing it back in. Then the winding goes back to normal tension. Not a big deal, but just something to keep in mind.) The watch appears to stay accurate as the day progresses. I expected it to lose time as it ticked on, but it seems to gain about a minute every two days. It's not much of a hassle to readjust it anyway, only takes about 10 seconds.The mechanism itself inside the watch looks amazing, which is the main reason I decided to buy this skeleton watch. It seems to be similar to that of other watches I see on Amazon by different companies, leading me to assume that the companies only make the case and not the actual parts. But, this one caught my eye the most as it is not too formal that it would look out of place wearing it on a normal day, and is just enough to be able to catch a few eyes. I get many compliments from people saying they like the watch. Even from someone who owned an expensive Invicta, but of course I did not hint to them the price of this.I was expecting the watch to be almost useless in the dark, so I thought I would just pull out my phone then and check the time. But, on the contrary, I was especially surprised to see that the white portion of the hands are actually coated with glow-in-the-dark paint. This further adds to the functionality of the watch and just makes it that much better.So, as a summary, here is a list of the pros and cons:Pros:Looks great and functions wellHolds a nice amount of power from the springGlow-in-the-dark paint on the handsDurable build constructionComfortable to wearWater resistant as well (wouldn't recommend testing it)Get lots of compliments from itCons:Band may break after repeated usesTakes a lot of windingWinding tension becomes stiffer sometimes, but is fixed by popping the crown out and back inGains a minute every 2 days or so.Die-cast portion scratches paint easilyAs far as I can say, the pros greatly outweigh the cons. And for $15, how can this price be beat? I am greatly pleased with the look, functionality, and comfort-ability this watch provides, and hope it will be able to serve me for many years to come.

the watch was good, the shipment was a surprise--it arrived two days earlier. so i am very satisfied with this.

Even though you get what you pay for, this watch is very cheaply made. I got a similar watch for $13 that has the same style (except black only with silver accents) and it is of much better quality. This one isn't really worth the hassle. I'm not saying I don't like it bc it's cheap - I have a thing for watches and price doesn't matter. I have watches that range in price - a Patek Philippe that was $23k(college graduation present), as well as a $3 Watch I bought on here, and ~20 more in between those that all have better quality than this one.PROS: -Low cost -The faux gold finish looks good and hasn't chipped off -The steam punk skeleton watch looking gave is neat when seeing the machines inside workingCONS: -Cheap, fake leather that came apart after three days - Cheap plastic on the tachymeter where the white numbers already started to rub of -The band is very thin as well as the entire face, so it looks very feminine (and i have pet small wrists for a guy) -It took around two weeks to get to me (plus when purchasing, the window of delivery was like a month apart) - The winding mechanism is of low quality so you have to wind it a couple times daily ( but this may just be that I got a bad watchOVERALL: -This watch isn't great, but fit the price/quality ratio of being pretty poor material, yet cheap enough to not really care or send it back. -I wouldn't buy it again or recommend it, but if you're just looking for a cheap novelty watch to buy and wear one time: and enjoy wasting $20 and being annoyed, then is the watch for you!

First thing first... This is a BEAUTIFUL watch.I mean for the price, this has to be one of the best looking skeleton watches for the price.I see that the price is nearly doubled from what I have paid but considering how many complements I have received, I wouldgladly reorder this watch if brokenShipping from seller took some thing but that is to be expected with these international purchases.My only complaint with this watch is that the band is a little too stiff and with the band on the tighest point, the band holders? keepscoming lose and wont hold the band in place.Overall though it was a great buy

it dont work ps dont carei have others on the way it no amazone fault it is mine anything cheap is exspenisive i am not concern if the seller wants to send another thats fine if not that fine to it not worth my trouble thankyou [email protected]

Works like a clock. I have to periodically wind mine, but I think it is just because I work at a desk and am not active enough to keep it ticking.
