Review: Beautiful Retro Inspired Automatic watch. - First I'd like to start by addressing one of the other reviews. This is an automatic watch so it is wound by motion but it also can be hand wound via the crown. The myota movement (citizen) is rated for about 40 hours fully wound so if used properly and worn daily (and if set correctly) it should run throughout the night and still be the correct time and date when you are ready to put on in the morning. This watch band style is one that isn't used very much any more and requires a screwdriver or tool to open the wedge on the lower latch to move it to the correct place on the band. This is easier to size than most metal watch bands and is much more flexible. Once you set it to your wrist size it shouldn't fall off and the adjustment shouldn't move unless it isn't set properly. It has a latching mechanism that should snap together and hold tight. It can be hard to get used to putting on at first but after a few times you will know how to easily put it on. I've owned a watch band of this style previously on a watch I wore daily so it was okay for me. I'd say that anyone looking at an automatic watch is probably more of a watch enthusiast and already knows the little nuances of owning one. If you are new to watches do your research first. Otherwise if you want something a little easier get the Timex Q version of this. It comes with a battery powered quartz movement, while it ticks a bit loudly, is a little easier to live with if you aren't accustomed to automatic watches. This is a beautiful Retro Inspired watch, I got it while it was on sale for 120 and it's a steal at that price.
Review: great watch - Love the watch! great for every day wear. If you have hair on your wrist sometimes the fine links on the band will yank on them a bit, but the overall aesthetic and timekeeping ability are almost impossible to beat at this pricepoint.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great watch
*by A***N on October 23, 2025*

Love the watch! great for every day wear. If you have hair on your wrist sometimes the fine links on the band will yank on them a bit, but the overall aesthetic and timekeeping ability are almost impossible to beat at this pricepoint.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Re-release
*by M***E on June 7, 2024*

So, let’s get my bias out of the way. This was a birth year re-release so I had attachment already. The appearance is so timeless yet you get when it comes from. The case is beveled much like a diamond deconstructed. And the plating is to a mirror finish on top but is brushed on the sides. Really classy. The lens is nice and domed, yes it’s acrylic and will probably get beat up, and a protector is out the window because it’s raised but the dome is such a character in the vibe of this watch. The metal strap is unique both in design and thinness. Now there are some negative reviews on this clasp. It can be finicky, but there is a right and wrong way. Really make sure the two hook tabs are firmly seated on the bar before closing. If the clasp is tappy after clicking it, it is most likely clicked above where it needs to be. Re-seat the hooks and make sure when it clicks in, if you tap the top there is zero rattle. I also suspect people are having issues not properly seating the adjust tab when changing length. You must make sure it is seating between links or it will open on ya… Accuracy wise, and power bank wise it falls shorter than what I am used to. If I don’t wear it after a full day of use and some manual winds even, it only lasts a day - still testing, because I swap out to a Seiko and a Citizen. Nice clicky one way bezel. Lume is pretty 70’s… But this watch is stellar. Timeless yet retro, classy but casual Tee and Jeans worthy. Definite score.
