Have had mine for the better part of 3 months now, only positive things to report so far. It has been the subject of a few conversations as well, especially with the ladies (and ladies, get this for your inner-nerd boyfriend, they'll love it - I'm one afterall). Yes, it is a $12 watch. If you're one to nitpick a $12 Chinese mechanical wonder with a few minor QC flaws, don't bother getting it (you're probably too picky to appreciate it anyways). If you want a super cheap watch that does better justice than the single obscure .jpeg photo listed up top, get it. It keeps accurate time, the band holds (no, it's obviously not real leather but it won't fall apart either) and it looks steampunk-tastic. It costs $12. You simply wind the watch up CLOCKWISE to keep the watch running and don't overdo it or being the big oaf you are, you'll break it (watches are still fragile things mind you). Try not to go diving with it either. It costs $12.

Stop reading already. I bothered to type this up in lieu of spending a measly $12, didn't I?? If you LIKE the picture and this review - BUY IT! That's it, end of story.
