Gute Mechanical Watch Automatic Self-Winding White Dial Blue Hands Unisex

I purchased my first Chinese mechanical watch for a trip I was taking to a foreign country. I wanted something that wouldn't be sorely missed if it was lost, stolen or didn't last long. Amazingly, after six months that $18 watch continues to be accurate within 5 seconds daily. However, with subsequent purchases I have found that about 50% of inexpensive Chinese watches are keepers. The remaining 50% are either (1) a minute or more fast/slow daily, (2) do not look good in person or (3) defective in some other manner, such as visible bits of dirt inside the crystal. In essence, the buyer serves as the quality control department, which isn't too bad considering the low prices and Amazon's free returns. The example of the Classic Winner I received is a keeper. After three days, this watch is running about 20 seconds fast daily - acceptable for a $23 mechanical watch. I find that the watch is even more attractive in person. The face and hands compare well with watches in the $200 range. I was concerned the watch might look too small on my wrist, but it came in a 42 mm case rather than the advertised size of 40 mm. At first, the rotor that facilitates automatic winding was very stiff and moved in tiny increments. After a few weeks it loosened and moves much more freely. As expected, the band is a temporary, disposable piece that simply allows you to wear the watch until you find something better. Fortunately, better quality bands are available starting around $12, and a new band is a great way to personalize your watch. In terms of longevity this watch comes with Amazon's 2 year Asurion warranty. In comparison, a watch with a quality Japanese movement will cost four times the money and offer a one year warranty. However, the Japanese watch has a good chance of lasting 20 years, whereas I would be surprised if a Chinese watch lasted 5 years.

This is a wind up watch. You can manually Wind it by hand or depend on the autowind feature it has inside. Or use a combination of both.I am not active enough for the autowind to be effective enough to keep it running through the night so I always just crank on the wind up knob a few times to make sure I have enough power to go through the night without losing time. In fact I give The little knob six long twists at 9 AM and six long twists at 9 PM. My only trouble with it is that it is difficult to turn the knob for winding up the watch. I wish the knob was bigger and easier to grasp for this purpose. Whoops. I went to set the time yesterday and when I pulled out the knob, The knob and stem came right out of the watch into my hand. It won't screw back in and stay. It is now broken and useless. I don't think it is worth taking to a repair facility. I paid $20 for the watch and it worked perfectly for 3 1/2 months and then died. I now have to lower my rating star down to nearly 0. It is a nonreturnable item after 30 days. I am sad because I lost my little mechanical heart beating several times a second all day long and all night too like a faithful companion. I guess I will have to go back to my trusty indiglo Timex which has always been my favorite electronic watch with an analog dial. Life goes on~~~:-) Love, jer Sorry

Normally I never buy anything before I read reviews. I guess I'm glad that I didn't in this case. I have had nothing like the experiences in the negative reviews for this watch. I am buying my third. The first was 5 years ago and it still works well but I scratched the crystal and I use it when I'm doing yard work, etc. The second came with a black band and I use it for formal stuff and I am re ordering a brown band. In my experience, the watches are solid, require rewinding once a day and are quite attractive - for me, anyway. The fact that it is my third is a solid recommendation. For $20 I don't think you can buy a better watch. I even get compliments on it.

Cheap watch from China. Wind-up mechanical. Seems to keep relatively good time. Whe first received, it seemed to stop randomly even when properly wound. Now that I‘ve had it a while, and run it awhile, it seems less prone to stoppage. I bought this watch for occasional use, not for all day wear, somewhat to experiment with. It’s far more accurate and dependable than a similar low cost watch from China I bought 7 years ago. That earlier one ended up in the trash within a month or two. This one, early on, shows more promise.

Similar to other reviews, strap broke at connecting pin to watch need to keep shaking as will stop and time accuracy is questionable. Remember the old days when normal hand movement kept mechanical watches wound and stayed in one piece. Then again, I supposed I could spend well into the hundreds of dollars to get something reliable. Ultimately, with with a battery watch for $9.99

The instructions said that it would only last about 8 hours without winding or movement. I have left this sitting for over 12 hours before and it was still running. It is thicker than a standard battery watch, but that's to be expected when it's a wind up one. This is self winding, but you also need to wind it as well if you're not moving a lot or want it powered for a long time. The strap it comes with is not that comfy, so I switched it out quickly. My friend who also got this loved the strap though.

I like it. It is an automatic watch but I must not be active enough to wind itself because it stops in the middle of the night. No big deal, I just wind it every morning before work and at night before bed. It keeps good time and looks nice. Overall I am happy with the purchase.

While I was initially impressed by the watch's attractive design and the apparent high quality of its materials, I unfortunately encountered significant issues with its timekeeping functionality. Specifically, the watch's mechanical movement failed to maintain accurate time overnight, requiring manual winding. Even after manual winding, the watch consistently lost several minutes each day, rendering it impractical for everyday use. This significant deviation from expected performance is deeply disappointing and makes the watch unusable.

Ho anche l'originale al quale si ispira fortemente. Questo l'ho regalato a mio padre e vi dico che lui è contento.

Best product working smoothly

Für den Preis geht die Uhr voll in Ordnung. Funktioniert tadellos und macht auch optisch was her. Die Uhr läuft auch über Nacht, wenn ich sie nicht anhabe, weiter. Habe diese Uhr allerdings noch nicht allzu lange. Mal schauen, wie es mit der Langlebigkeit aussieht. Während der Arbeit werde ich sie aber nicht tragen. Würde mich stören und soll auch eine Weile halten, auch wenn es sich nicht um eine hochwertige Uhr handelt. Für den Preis kann man bei dieser Uhr jedenfalls nicht falsch machen. Die deutsche Übersetzung der englischen Bedienungsanleitung ist allerdings unvollständig. Besser die Originalanleitung lesen. Überhaupt lege jedem, der generell eine mechanische Uhr (egal in welcher Preisklasse) kaufen möchte, und noch keine Erfahrung hat, YouTube-Tutorials an's Herz. Davon gibt es mehr als genug.

The GuTe and Vigoroso automatic mechanical wrist watches, that I recently purchased, appear to be the same watch in different colour formats, marketed by different companies. They both have the Winner logo and script on the dial just under the 12. I assume, therefore, that Winner is the watchmaker. For these reasons the reviews for these watches are going to be near identical. The GuTe version has an off white dial, blue fingers and blue full sweep second hand. There are black Arabic numerals indicating the hours and around the very edge of the dial are minute / second markers with Arabic numerals at 5 minute / second intervals. The strap is brown leather. This is not a high end watch. It could hardly be expected at a purchase price of merely £26.99. Also, in the instructions, it warns of malfunction that cannot be corrected if the watch is exposed to physical shock. This implies to me that the mechanism is not shockproof. However at a price of £26.99 this watch could be considered disposable. If it only lasted 12 months, the cost averaged over the year would be 51.9 pence per week, far less than a half pint of premium English bitter, and it is guaranteed for 2 years. For all that, this is an attractive watch. It has a classical elegance about it. I am a big fan of mechanical watches, particularly automatic / self winding wrist watches. They are always ready to use and there are no batteries needing renewal / disposal.They are really green. Best of all, the second hand rotates with an almost completely smooth motion. This watch keeps just as good time as my Seiko and Tissot automatics. However the power reserve is not as good as these higher specification watches. This is nothing that can’t be solved by 10 winds of the winder, morning and night. How big a deal is that? I love this watch. It will be used a great deal. The only citicism that I would make is that the date window is very small. It makes it difficult to read for old codgers like me.
