Mechanical Pocket Watches for Men Vintage Pocket Watch with Chain

Pro: This Steam Punk watch was a gift for my boyfriend and he is absolutely thrilled with the looks, build quality is solid, see-through movement both front and back. The gold glitters inside and out in both daylight and soft lighting. He has only had it for a week, but reports it's keeping excellent time. He takes great pleasure in winding it twice a day, about 10 turns each time, as was recommended by the seller. The watch has a wood look circular band that was not reddish as shown in the photo, but a deep dark wood color instead. That could be why someone returned it and it was sold "as new in original packaging" for a few dollars off. I'm always happy to save a few dollars! Con: None yet. I can't comment on the durability yet, but it's so beautiful that I think it's a great value. Personally, I would like to purchase it again if it's ever available with a battery option also. Recommended!

Before I review this product I want to dispel an error that I noticed in the questions about this product. Someone stated that they were disappointed that the watch face had a mistake on it. The mistake being it uses iiii instead of iv to notate the "4" position on the face. This is not a mistake. Every watch face that I have seen or can think of uses iiii instead of iv. This is a tradition that goes back centuries. The reason for it is somewhat unclear but their seem to be 3 main ideas. 1) iv has not always represented 4. This is mainly a modern times notation. Why I don't know but some say they did not use IV since it had to do with the god Jupiter. 2) There's a story about King Louis XIV that says he insisted it should be the other way and made a clock maker change it. I find this hard to believe as this type of watch face existed before King Louis XIV. 3) Another common reason is that it's for aesthetics/symmetry. I am not sure what the real reason is but I do know that when it comes to Roman numeral watch faces, iiii is the correct way to mark "4". This watch DOES NOT have an error on its face. Regarding the review of the watch itself... This watch is surprisingly heavy and well built. The wood grain look is lighter than pictured but still very beautiful. The cut out in front and back add to the styling and seeing the inner workings is stunning. Retro is in right now. This pocket watch is definitely eye catching and unique. For the money, the quality is amazing.

Beautiful watch, actually matches my wedding ring.

It was definitely smaller than anticipated, and the front clasp was definitely wobbly, like it didnt feel like it was screwed all the way on. However; i bought it as a gift for my boyfreind for valentines day and he loved it regardless. It looks very fancy, and for the price it was good.

sort of cheap looking would not buy again

If you're confused on how it functions, I can help. Original watches weren't battery powered, just like the old ones, you need to wind it up.

Keeps time as it should my husband loves this watch

Bought this watch in Jan 2, 2025. Great looking and worked great. Then on Feb 20 I wound the watch but it did not start. It was not a costly watch but should have lasted more then a few weeks.

I hate that it's not actual wood how it looks and the fact that there's resin defects on it, so I had to sand and buff it myself. It's still nice and all but it took more hassle than I was hoping for.

J'ai l'impression d'être au XIXe siècle dans la vieille Europe et c'est exactement ce que je voulais. La montre se remonte mécaniquement chaque jour. Le fin mécanisme est visible. Elle fonctionne très bien et j'en suis extrêmement satisfait. J'adore les "vieux" chiffres romains qui indiquent les heures et l'ouverture sur le devant. Je pourrais presque y mettre la photo d'une bien-aimée. Amoureux du rétro, vous ne serez pas déçus.

What a beautiful designed elegant pocket watch my son adored this gift and dresses up any outfit fully recommend this seller and ⌚️
