VIGOROSO Men's Pocket Watch with Chain Half Hunter Double Cover Skeleton Mechanical Pocket Watches for Men Dad

This is my first pocket watch and I have been happy with the watch performance thus far. It keeps good time, I have not had to reset it since I got it. Given that is it's main function I would give that a 5 star for that. I like the open design that lets you see the movement (the mechanical bits inside) but with that comes a flaw of the design. The hands of the watch are a serious issue. They are very pretty but small and thin. On a solid dial they might be fine, but with the open dial they can be hard to see. The hour hand ends just before the dial numbers (which is normal for a watch) but this means that none of it has anything but the movement behind it. The minute hand is only slightly better as the tip is over the dial ring a little. It would have been better with a more beefy set of hands. Also just a nit-pic, but could someone tell them the roman numeral for 4 is IV not IIII. I mean seriously they got 9 and 11 right how did they mess up 4?

The watch has a nice aesthetic and seems well constructed. The photos of the watch when ordering it were very helpful in determining how it would actually look.

Its a functional enough pocket watch and it looks the part from a distance but the build quality gives it a away(like the watch face numerals having IIII instead of IV for 4) and the fragility of the case latches and plastic covers. Ultimately I use it for when I want the style but dont trust a situation enough to risk my high quality pocket watch. At this price point, you wont be hurting if it gets destroyed.

Used to use it for work since I don't like having anything on my wrist and we're not supposed to pull out phone out in front of guests at work. Every time I pulled it out I got some sort of comment or compliment on it. Everyone loved it. It's a wind up pocket watch, so it'll live forever.. With that said, if you let it run for long amounts of time (say 23-48 hours) you'll start noticing that the time very slowly becomes inaccurate and need slight readjusting. Honestly it just gave me another reason to pull it out, so I didn't mind it much. Look wise, it's gorgeous and I've had friends ask where I got it. It's fairly durable, although I did have to do some minor maintenance on it as a strand of hair somehow got into the watch itself and tangled in the gears. But it was easy to take the covers off and remove that hair carefully with tweezers.

Very nice timepiece very durable worth the money it is better than having to pull out cell phone to check time so it serves its purpose
