I got this  great watch for a great $75 holiday-special price. It takes about 45 turns to fully wind it. Once I did the watch kept going for 44 hours. The watch is accurate in that in the past several days it has not gotten ahead or fallen behind of where it as when I set it. I have another cheap mechanical watch and that one got 3 minutes ahead within those 44 hours...

The leather band is okay but not great. Perhaps it will soften with use but I doubt it. I had to drill another hole in the band to ensure that the watch is not loose. Note that the bands are very easy to replace - no tools are needed. Oh and of course I like the  "see-through" design.

The box that the watch comes in is very nice also.

Update [02APR2014] The watch broke  at the end of March and would not wind. Shipped it  and and $20 check to cover return shipping to Stuhrling for a repair under 2 year warranty.

Update [09APR2014] Received an e-mail asking for a return address clarification .  Ended up talking to US-based customer service.

Update [07MAY2014] I have received my watch back in a good working order. The leather band had softened a bit with wear. Also looking at mechanical watches I owned over the years, this is not the easiest watch to wind. Someone with arthritis in their hands might have hard time winding it. The watch it seems has retained its pre-repair time accuracy and lasts the same 40 or so hours on 40 or so turns.

Update [01DEC2014] The watch is now about 2 years old and is still in a good working order. The accuracy has not changed.
