Same buzz. Yours dies by three and turns into a bracelet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis one has no battery in it at all.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMove your arm and a weighted rotor spins inside. The rotor winds a spring. The spring drives the hands. You can watch the whole thing happen through the open dial at the front — and again through the glass back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's the part people ask about.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCover the name on an expensive watch. What's left?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA movement, a case, and a strap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis one has all three — an automatic you can watch working, front and back, in a case engraved on every side, down to the small parts that hold the strap on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat it doesn't have is a Swiss badge. The full list of what it isn't is right below. We'd rather you read it before you buy than after.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eYou don't know anything about watches. Good.\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou don't need to. Not what a balance wheel does, not why people argue about sapphire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou need to know one thing: there's no battery in this. It runs on the movement of your arm, and you can watch it happen — through the front and through the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat's the whole pitch. The rest is vocabulary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe honest part\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt's big.\u003c\/strong\u003e 41mm across, 14mm thick, 73 grams. It sits high on the wrist and won't slide under a tight cuff. Fair warning if your wrist is on the smaller side.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMineral crystal, not sapphire.\u003c\/strong\u003e Tough, but it can scratch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlloy case with a stainless steel back.\u003c\/strong\u003e Not solid steel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3 bar.\u003c\/strong\u003e Rain and washing your hands, fine. Swimming and showers, no.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt gains and loses a few seconds a day.\u003c\/strong\u003e Every mechanical watch does. If you need atomic accuracy, buy a quartz watch — genuinely.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe strap is the weakest part of this watch.\u003c\/strong\u003e It's thick and stiff out of the box. It sits on standard 22mm lugs, so any 22mm strap will fit if you'd rather put your own on.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt arrives in a plain box.\u003c\/strong\u003e We spent the money on the watch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIf it stops, it isn't broken\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeave it off for two days and it winds down. Put it on, turn the crown about 25 times, and it starts again. That is how every automatic watch in the world works.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWe're new. So the risk is ours, not yours.\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou've never heard of us, and there's no good reason to trust a watch brand you found in an ad.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo wear it for thirty days. Properly — to work, in the rain, out on a Friday night. If it isn't what you wanted, email us and we'll refund you in full.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe'd rather earn the review than buy it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSix finishes, in silver and gold.
