I am sending this watch in for warranty repair today, 10 months after purchase.  My daughter only wore it occasionally, it is still perfect condition other than it now will not manually or automatically wind correctly and the hands spin around on their own.  This is a nice looking watch, and in fact I purchased two of them.  My review is not negative because of the fact that the watch broke before even being a year old, but because Stuhrling is charging a $20.00 fee for shipping and handling on the warranty repair.  A solid company that stands behind their product does not charge for warranty repairs, period.  It is bad enough that I will have to spend another $10.00 just to send it to them.  I will report back on the repair status and let Amazon purchasers know how long this repair takes and the condition of the watch as it is returned.  For now, buyer beware that for any warranty issue expect to pay at least $30.00 out of pocket to resolve.
Update:  6 weeks (12/27/09) and still no watch.  Review dropped to one star for extended repair time.  How long will it take??
Update:  8 weeks (1/15/2010) and watch is back, and still broken!  Now, the self winding part seen through the back crystal glass plate is sticking (rubbing against the back), it looks like the movement was replaced not straight or something.  In fact, this does not look like the same watch I sent in for repair.  This one has wear marks on both the front and back that were not on the original watch.  I just called them, and the person on the phone said to send it in again, this time they are waiving the $20.00 fee.  I will update again when I get it back, perhaps in the spring :(
Update:  (1/27/2010) Well, I requested Stuhrling send me a new watch to replace the one I had to send in for a second repair, and to my pleasant surprise, they did send me a brand new watch.  Along with the brand new watch was a nice letter from Baily Goldman, a customer service associate with Stuhrling, saying they appreciate my business and to feel free to contact them anytime.  I am going to raise my review to 4 stars for this customer service effort.  Your mileage may vary with this company's products, but they did come through in the end, and that's what really matters.  Change recommendation back to buy.
