i paid like $13.00 for this; i have some high quality automatic watches, and i thought it might be worth the risk/gamble for such a low price. i have had it about a month and have worn it consistently and i am impressed so far. it keeps time accurately, and looks classy. i have gotten just as many complements on it as i have my rolex, haha. the only downside i have seen so far is that the watch losses its tension on the spring movement if it is not worn constantly. about 6 hours is all the spring can tick with out shaking or moving the movement pendulum. a few times i have had to reset it after i wake up in the morning. other than that, so far it is definitely worth the price!!!
