This is my first experience with a 'self-winding' watch.  It's an interesting theory that I wanted to put to the test for a while before reviewing.  Like most purchases of late, it was a GoldBox steal at $29.  It arrived quickly in an attractive box and in excellent condition.  I purchased a similarly sized Invicta last year and it went back to Amazon because it was so big/gaudy looking.  The Armitron is a larger/heavier watch that I am used to; however, it is quite beautiful and looks very natural on.  It is a great conversation piece and looks really expensive and impressive for under $100.  I wear my watches on my right hand and therefore tend to whack them into things more often, but it's very sturdy and seems like it will hold up well as an everyday watch.  It has also kept perfect time, even after I took it off Friday afternoon and put it back on Monday morning, but you do need to wear every few days or buy a winder if you won't be wearing it regularly.  I will update in the future if need be, but for now, I find this is a perfect, beautiful and unique everyday watch!
