It's okay
I wasn't expecting too much watch for this price but from the other reviews I thought I'd be getting at least a good deal. I was wrong.
When you pop out to set the time the minute hand flops around a teenie bit so when you set the time you have to be careful how you click the set knob back in or it can move the minute hand a little. Not very accurate and really annoying to me.
However yes it's fine for the price I guess but I'm now looking for another pocket watch. It's not worth it for me to send it back so I'm donating it to a thrift store and spending more money this time for something with a bit more quality.

Great for Groomsmen Gifts - With a little prep
I bought 3 of these as groomsman gifts for my wedding a bit over a month ago. They all arrived in short order after ordering.
The watches each looked slick and all of the guys really seemed to like them. I can't really comment on their durability or how well they're performing in regards to time-keeping but I'll be sure to update this comment if I hear anything from the guys.
3 minor caveats however: 1) the 'stand' (that second section that flips out from the back-side of the watch) is connected by a simple hinge that barely supports the weight of the watch - so I don't think these would serve long-term as a desk clock (as I was thinking they might if called for). 2) The watches arrived in a box that seemed a bit big for them - with no plastic cradle to sit in (they were just freely moving around in the box) - so it took a little bit of prep-work on my end to make them them presentable as a gift. 3) One of the watches arrived with the chain disconnected from the actual watch... but after looking it over with a magnifying glass I was able to easily snap the connecting U-joint onto the watch... and it appeared to be as good as new.
Even considering those 3 minor drawbacks this is definitely a 4-star purchase as far as I'm concerned.

nice watch
This is a nice pocket watch for a good price. The case seems to show fine scratches and wear from use in just the first week but over all I would recommend this product.

Stylish and Elegant but...
This product has two main flaws the chain and the manual it came with. it's riddled with typos and grammar errors with instructions that are hard to follow and need more explanation.
The second would be the chain it came with. The chain is approximately 10 1/2 inches which is only long enough to go from the front pants pocket to the first belt loop behind from the pocket. The length is sufficient enough to wear with a vest with little chain showing but the clasp is a Spring Ring Clasp which is far to small (approx 1cm) and can bend when leaning against a wall. The clasp is barely large enough to clip onto some belt loops and I was unable to clip it around the thread of my vest. Over all a disappointing chain.
The calendar function of the watch works fine as well as its easy to set. I dont know quite yet what happens on a month with only 30 days in it since I got the watch in december I won't know until the end of January if it goes to 31 or turns over.
Overall:
Watch *****
Chain ***
