initial thoughts are mostly positive, the watch head seems beautifully crafted and of luxurious quality. The mechanism is simple to wind (clockwise) and the time is easily set by pulling the crown away from the head until it clicks, then rotating to the desired time, and finally reseating the crown by pressing it back in towards the watch head.
my only gripe would be the contrast of wrist band to watch head, you can tell all the effort and quality went into the watch head! which of course matters most, yet at the same time it’s hard to ignore the cheap hollow feeling.
functionality is as you’d expect, if you wear the watch or wind it when needed, it’ll tell you the time; assuming you can read analog. For a mechanical watch I paid $33.29 for I can’t really complain
