GH-108

I bought this watch due to the size. I wanted a big face dive style watch. The quality of this piece is absolutely stunning. It hasn't lost any time since I've had it. I've had no problems with the finish and it still looks as good as the day I received it. I get compliments on it everywhere I wear it. People can't believe it was only $28.00, I liked it so much I went and purchased the white faced one and that one shares the same quality as this one. I was so satisfied with these watches that I ultimately wound up buying yet another from this collection. I purchased the blue face watch with the stainless band. Again quality is amazing. Can't go wrong with one of these time pieces. I don't know how the gold banded or blue banded watches will hold up from frequent wear, but the 3 finishes I own have held up to pretty much daily use. I rotate mine out every day. I would highly recommend one of these to anyone looking for a big face dive style watch. I wish these were 100% waterproof. They list them as good for 10 meters, which would be great, but reading the literature they aren't supposed to be submerged, they are only water resistant to splashes, rain and hand washing. I haven't tried to take mine swimming or in the shower. I'd be curious to know if anyone has and what the outcome was.

The media could not be loaded. I am a female that is addicted to watches (and t-shirts, but that’s another review)! I wanted a two tone watch (gold/silver) to bridge my white gold wedding ring with my gold costume jewelry. This certainly does the trick! The bling factor is stunning but not over the top. It looks great with my wedding ring and is just as sparkly. I am 5’4” with very small wrists. After taking links off both sides of the band (to keep the latch centered on my wrist), the watch fit great! The watch has significant weight, but not annoying… Note for the ladies: it’s not any heavier than some of the big bulky bracelets we wear. I was able to set the date, time, and day within five minutes.The watch arrived in very nice packaging with protective film over the face and band. The tool for removing the link was different from the instructions. However, it still worked. Had to use the handle of a screw driver with the pin tool provided to “tap” the link pins out. Some came out easier than others. Just be sure to keep the protective film on and place the watch on a folded hand towel or something soft to keep from damaging it.The Flaws:The white lettering inside the face looks spotty. You can see it in the closeup pic I provided of the watch face. The watch also looked like it had some damage on the band where someone tried to remove some links and failed. I was able to remove most of the damaged links, so I’m not too concerned. However the link right next to the latch has a scratch and it cannot be removed. For the price, I’m not going to fret since that area is prone to scratching from wear anyway.Overall Impression:IT IS A BEAUTIFUL WATCH! I recommend this watch if you are like me and like to wear different watches with different outfits and want to keep within a budget. I went ahead and gave it a Five Star rating despite the lettering defects because the overall appearance is still eye-catching and the only one that will be looking at the face close enough to see the imperfections is me. 😊

Beautiful watch, looks high quality buts only digital but still a good buy for the money

Mar 2019: I wanted a watch with hands that I could see at night, looked great, and would not stop if I set it down for a day or two, unlike my Invicta Automatic. This large watch did not disappoint. I've had it for two weeks. It even came with a special tool to remove the bracelet pins, although I found it easier to remove them using the $7 link pin remover kit from Amazon. Setting time, both analog and digital, was easy. I cannot attest to the other electronic features because I haven't used them. The time is accurate, and the analog and electronic times track nicely. When setting the time, the second hand stops, so it's easy to synchronize the two modes. There is a 1/100 second small round dial that blinks all the time, and for which I can find no way to disable, nor what use it is from a practical standpoint. The instructions say it is waterproof to just a few meters, but it should not be submerged. Go figure! But it's supposed to be waterproof in the shower.. Anyway, it looks great, almost as nice as my Invicta Pro Diver, and keeps good time. July 2021 Update: It was a great watch until the battery died. I read it has 2 batteries: a 626 and a 2025. The digital time still works but the hands stopped. I have a 3-pin watch case opener, but I can't get the screw-on back to budge, even with a watch vise to keep the watch from turning. All I have for my efforts is a scratched watch back from the tool popping out of the notches. There must be a way to get the back to break free, but I haven't found it. So buy the watch knowing that when the battery dies, it may be just a nice-looking wristband. Lemons to the person who essentially told me to get the right tools for the job. I have all the right tools and know how to use them, but I couldn't get the back to budge. So I took it to a jeweler who almost broke his arm trying to get the back to unscrew. Then I asked "Is it possible that this is a pop-off back stamped to look like the more expensive screw-off back?" That's when the notch for the pop-off back was spotted. Problem solved. So the better answer to my quest would have been that this Golden Hour has a fake screw-on back, but it's really a pop-off.
