I am a watch guy. I like watches. I ordered this because it has an automatic winding mechanism. Recently I had 4 watches that all had dead batteries and I'm getting tired of battery powered watches. This one winds itself which is nice. It honors its water-resistant claim too. The crown screws down to seal the watch. This is the only real way to keep water out of a watch. Every other watch I have owned that did not have a screw down crown eventually leaked. What's more, if you have a battery powered watch, just removing the back to change the battery can compromise the o-ring seal. I don't know about you, but I don't keep spare watch o-rings around.

This watch keeps excellent time for a mechanical. It loses about 20 seconds per day which is pretty good. There is an adjuster inside if required but this should be done by a watch repair person or someone with a good sense of mechanics annd a steady hand. Overall an excellent watch especially considering the price.

I got this watch dialed in to where it only loses one minute per month! Pretty good for a mechanical. Also I should note that the dots in the dial are nicely faceted and have a sparkle that makes the watch look like a quality timepiece.
