ESS Black Bezel Skeleton Dial Mechanical Automatic Watch Mens Stainless Steel Case WM257

I have no affiliation with this seller or store: So I have had this watch for a few weeks and it runs great. I wind it (as recommended - 25 turns) everyday and it seems to keep good time. Purchasing it as costume jewelry, I had low expectations and how found it better than I expected it to perform. I do have other expensive watches (that do not look as good as this one); Movodo, etc. but If i ever broke this watch, or lost it - I could simply by another to replace it, without the worry of value. I could give it away to a friend or business client and not think twice about doing so. For the money, it is amazing.I had it in a hot car and it fogged up a bit inside, but it has not done that since then.If I wanted an accurate watch with temp/altitude features I would buy a casio rangeman, but that is a different watch entirely.

I shouldn't say it's the cheapest but it's very close because this Chinese watch company, Winner, makes some that are a few dollars cheaper. I knew when I bought this watch that it wasn't going to be amazing quality and kind of a piece of crap but this piece of crap works and it's actually keeping time pretty well. The band is the worst thing about this watch. I've never had a harder time removing the pins from a watchband. I was hammering as hard as I could to get them out and even damaged the band a little during the process. If the watch keeps running I might purchase a better watchband in the future. People need to understand when buying this watch that you get what you pay for. It's an automatic and not battery powered. A decent automatic will cost you at least $50-$60 so there is a chance that this watch won't keep time as well as the better automatics. I'll be happy if I lose or gain a couple of minutes a day with this watch. A decent automatic will lose or gain about 15 seconds a day. I wouldn't recommend this watch if you're looking for a nice automatic. If you want a decent automatic, look at Seiko or Orient. The only reason I bought this was to see how well these Chinese automatics work. So far it's worked better than expected and I even got some compliments on it.Pros:- beautiful dial- keeps time accurately (at least it does for me)- see through case back- the watch is very manlyCons:- doesn't hold a long charge- the dial, although nice, is hard to read- pushers are there for looks- watch band is crap- it's a little oversized

So far so good. It look great with good quality case and band. In almost a week only about 1 minute is fast which is very good for the automatic watch. I bought another one with different style from the same seller.

Got it about a week ago. Belt just came apart then watch fall on the ground then stop working

I will buy it again because i love it .is unbelievable for the price. Thanks

While I wasn't expecting this to be a Fossil or Rolex, I did at least expect the little buttons on the side to actually do something, that's why I payed more for this watch over its twin that had no buttons, I feel a bit gypped. This watch does not run on batteries, its a wind up watch. That being said it does have a nifty little mechanism that winds the springs when you wiggle it around so you shouldn't have to be winding it all the time. The sad part is I had to figure that out myself because the watch comes with no instructions of any kind. If you're a scrawny guy like me, don't buy this watch, its enormous. All that being said it is a fairly good looking watch, just don't expect any more functionality than telling the time and don't let your friends look at it too closely and they'll be impressed.

My observations are similar to others who gave 1 star reviews.Pros and cons are below.The watch looks great, feels solid including the stainless steel band.Gains 30 or so minutes a day. ANNOYING, very annoying.The 2 buttons on either side of the crown are just for show...not functional.Does not come in an ESS box, whatever that is. Did not matter since I did not plan to carry the box around.Came in a bubble wrap package.Will not be returning it because I removed 3 links on the band and the watch only costs $18.

For a very inexpensive watch I was pleasantly surprised! Construction was solid. Band feels cheap and lightweight and appears to be like aluminum but so far holds up well. It is an automatic but also has a mechanical winder as well. For $15 dollars you can't go wrong.
