ShoppeWatch Manual Wind Up Wrist Watch | Steampunk Mens Watch with Gears Exposed | Skeleton Mechanical Watch for Men and Women Unisex Black Leather Band MW-07

All in all this was a cheap buy and the band when worn will let you know. However, from a passersby this time peace looks great. People have given me more compliments on this watch then I have received on watches that I have paid 300 or more dollars for..... so if you want a nice time peace with low budget I say try it out.. I have had this watch for months now and it still is ticking. It has not had any issues! YES, READ THE LAST PART NO ISSUES!!! The band after wear feels great and to my surprise has not broken or worn much.!! That says a lot! I give it a five. Don't buy this watch if you are careless and have no intention to take basic care of it. I do not baby it but I don't wear it like my watch the was Bulova built or even fossil built.

This is an amazing watch! I was looking at similar watches, but was deterred by their insanely high prices. I found this one and immediately fell in love with how it looked. With the price being so low, I was a little skeptical. I read a few of the reviews, and was still on the fence. I ordered it anyway for my husband. It shipped very quickly, the product was beautiful and functioning! My husband wears it daily, winds it every morning, and has never had an issue with functionality. I had a question about the watch, emailed ShoppeWatch, and they responded very quickly and went above and beyond to help me. I will definitely order again from ShoppeWatch, and I totally recommend them to anyone looking for a quality watch without a huge price tag! :)

This is the first skeleton watch I've owned and I was eager to get it. However, for various reasons, I've been disappointed with the watch's performance. I am aware the watch is not quartz and, as such, it's necessary to wind it. However, even when it's wound, it frequently stops and I have to tap on the dial to get it working again. Even when it's wound and is running, it often loses time. The instructions suggest winding it once a day, but I find myself having to wind it more often most days. It is reasonably priced for a skeleton watch, it's decorative and I enjoy watching the gears turn. However, as a timepiece, I find it lacking.

This is an unbelievable value. Mine works great, gains about 10-15 sec. a day, is easy 2 wind and set(no second hand setting tho) and it looks great. Seeing the thing work, is a joy. The band is a bit stiff, but is getting limbered up a bit, and is very comfortable. I did drop it once onto a padded rug, no problem. I expect that it will be easy to break (over winding, or dropping etc.) so I would not give it to a child, but I really love it for the price I paid. I say if you like the look, go for it.

It's not up your standards if you're looking for watches on Amazon. I like watches and wanted to try some cheap ones that looked cool, & now I wish I had not and just used my judgement after reading the reviews. DO NOT BUY THIS WATCH unless you're looking for a reason to be disappointed in your purchase. Yes, $15 may seem cheap, but there's probably 3-other things on your wish-list you'll get more use out of than this watch. No instructions (not that it's difficult to figure out), KEEP YOUR RETURN RECEIPT cuz you're going to need it. Sorry to burst your bubble...

I just recently got into watches when I received a watch box as a gift for the Kenneth Cole's that I own.I bought a Seiko SNA411 flightmaster and of course went looking for more watches and came across this.For $20 you really can't go wrong. Even if it broke after a week. In a day that's a different story.Just opened the thing a couple of minutes ago.First impression is that it's pretty damn nice. I mean for a novelty watch. I could stare at this for a good while.Watch band like everyone else says is junk and super stiff. To their benefit I do believe it is real leather...maybe turkey leather? Would rather see a cheap black nylon band because at least that would be harder to mess up. In fact if they totally ditched the leather band and just sold the watch to drop another 5 cents on steel I'd be happier.Came without anything moving which it should be since no one's probably wound it. And since I'm a newbie to all of this I tried spinning the dial and nothing in both directions. Pulled out the dial and tried to set the time and the wheels started spinning but stopped after a couple of seconds. NO directions. So googled how to wind watch. so while the dial is pushed in you spin the dial clockwise or with the top of the dial going "into the ground". The pin will give you some tension and away it should go.By the way the dial feels really cheap So take care.Also found a small bit of what looks like a string of leather or thread inside the watch. I'd open the case up to take it out but don't want to risk it breaking. The case back is a screw type btw.For me, if this thing can tell time for a straight month then I'll get my money's worth. If it dies before then well it's only $20. If you are looking for a good quality skeleton then look to a name brand (Sturhling looks to be a step up to this but I've never owned one and that brand comes with it's own bad reviews because it's a chinese maker with a fictional back story).I've seen a Kenneth Cole Skeleton and that looked pretty good. I like my Kenneth Cole's a lot and they have lasted about 8 years with special occasion usage but those are quartz. But my reasoning is is that Kenneth Cole would prefer that you didn't have a bad experience....so yeah... But who knows. Moving parts are bound to break.Bottomline: If you won't miss $20 go ahead and buy this just for kicks. If you will miss it then look elsewhere and don't take the gamble.Update #1:Have had this for a week and it's keeping time like a champ. Minute off from the atomic clock in colorado when I set it last night. It's been about 28 hours now. Since it is manual wind it will vary from person to person but to kind of keep track of how I wind it I've been resting the dial on top of the side of my pointer finger and then just pushing the dial forward with my thumb as far as my thumb can go. That way I can keep track of how many full thumb strokes I need to do. I did 15 last night. At around 15 it gets a little scary because of the tension feedback. But didn't break yet!Also the band softened up quite a bit. Probably pretty stiff once I received it because it is winter weather right now and was cold. But that doesn't mean the leather is a nice quality. It's just more liveable.

Look I am like most of you skeptical about cheapo stuff. This watch is not a watch you can put on every day and go about daily activities. So far I have zero complaints but I can tell the band is cheap material and will break under pressure. The watch it self is great, now I changed out the band with a $9 leather watch band from watch shop and I have zero regrets about the buy. SO: Band cheap but watch is great and for the price it looks like expensive nice professional watch.
