AMPM24 Vintage Roman Steampunk Skeleton Self-Winding Mechanical Leather Band Men's Watch PMW199

The watch was delivered relatively quickly. Arrived in 1.5 weeks instead of the 4 weeks that was estimated. Here are my thoughts after having the watch for a week.When I took the watch out of its packaging, I noticed the color of the case of the watch is a little darker than pictured and the color of the face of the watch is a lot brighter than pictured. This makes it stand out more and it looks better in my opinion. The brushed metal effect for both parts is really nice. The numerals are a very shiny gold color, and it looks great in contrast to the darker metal used for the face. The watch face and case are a little bigger than I thought it would be, and I am very pleased with it.The band is very thick, like others have mentioned. It took a couple days for it to break in and take shape around my wrist. After a week, the edges of the band are peeling a little bit, but it hasn't broke for me. The buckle for the band is a too big. The tongue is too long, making you have to bend the band back really far to take off the watch. I assume this is how the band has broke so quickly for others. The loop of the buckle is also too thick. It to sticks out too far past the rest of the band causing me to bump into things more often.With keeping time, I've noticed it's, at most, 2 minutes off in either direction, depending on the time of day. So it's great for my general use of a watch.Overall, this is a great watch, especially for the price. I've gotten a couple compliments for the watch in the short time I've had it. I'd recommend it to anyone wanting an automatic watch. Its look and price can't be beat.

I can't believe this watch was as cheap as it is! It really does look like a nice, expensive watch. It doesn't seem incredibly durable, but you cannot tell that from just looking at it at all.

I have to be honest. I want to like this watch. I really REALLY do. But the issues aren't worth the price and look.Pros: this watch has pop! It has caught the eye of several and been a conversation piece on a couple occasions.Cons: Watch strap pin broke the second time I wore it. The strap broke less than a week in. Both easy fixes but the broken strap changes the look of the watch. Not to mention it needs to be reset every day because it does not keep time! About 3 minutes off everyday.

First Post: (March 26, 2014) I will post updates to this review as I wear the watch.It arrived rather quickly, less than a week, even though the shipping was 18-29 days. I opened the package to find a moderate case, nothing special, it had a nice little pillow that supported the band and the watch to display. The watch was already going, I guess somebody had wound it up already. The first thing I noticed was the band, it's thick and leather. Very tough at first, I have been wearing it all of today its not the most comfortable thing, but I have a feeling it will become better as it gets broken in.The appearance is spectacular, this is my first skeleton watch. I have received many complements and people are amazed by it. Because it is mechanical it is not the most accurate, I've found that if it is kept wound it will be accurate within 5 minutes. But I use it mostly as an asthetic accessory, for function I use my cell phone.Currently I am very content with the product. This might change in the next few months, I will be sure to post updates.UPDATE*****It has now been a week, the watch is still great, I have been wearing it every day. The thick leather band has become less stiff, and now feels comfortable on my wrist. Still getting complements and still happy with the watch.

I like the style bit the leather is not quite up to par the strap broke almost the next day and it loses time

Pros: Watch is awesome for the price. The time also keeps pretty well as long as the watch is wound up. I have to wind the watch maybe every 1.5 days. I also took this watch with me when i was climbing this waterfall course in Jamaica and it was submerged in the current for part of the time. There was no water damage. Although it did well here, i would not submerge this watch or go swimming with it for an extended amount of time.Cons: The band is weak. It starts fraying at the sides pretty quickly ( I think it started the first week for me). It is not that much of a problem just kind of a bummer since you want it looking perfect. Its been about 2.5 months from my bought date and the band is getting considerably weaker. The leather band that attaches to the case is starting to get really weak, I think i am going to have to replace it soon.Overall: This watch is pretty sweet for the price. I am glad I got it, but the only problem is the band. I will have to replace the band, but overall its beautiful and works well for its price. Some people will complain about having to wind it everyday, but the beauty of it is that you don't have to replace any batteries ever. Just wind the watch about 10 rotations every morning when you put it on and it'll run smoothly for the rest of the day. Considering its a wind up watch, it is really good for its price. Ive seen other wind up watches priced for at least $100. Would I recommend? Yes, but replace the band when it starts wearing down.

This is a good reliable watch. I love that it never needs batteries. I have been substitute teaching over the past year. I have had more kids say they like my watch than I can count. Glad I bought it.

I received this watch. I haven't had it very long but seems to work great. It looks great. Has the appearance of being very expensive yet is very inexpensive. The only problem is that the description says self-winding. It's only self-winding in the sense that you yourself have to wind it. Other than that it looks amazing.
