Mechanical Automatic Movement
Automatic watches have no battery. Instead, these "self winding" movements use the natural movement of your wrist as a power source.
Mechanical Automatic
Powered by You
A mechanical automatic movement winds itself using the natural motion of your wrist — a rotor inside spins as you move, storing energy in a mainspring. This spring slowly releases power through a precise series of gears and an escapement, driving the hands in a smooth, sweeping motion. It’s a self-sustaining engine, no battery required. When worn daily, it stays powered continuously — keeping perfect time without needing to be reset.
Stainless Steel Case
This stainless-steel case is highly resistant to rust, corrosion, and tarnish, ensuring your watch remains in excellent condition over time. It's also hypoallergenic and incredibly strong.

It is a softer material that can be more prone to scratches but conversely is very shatter-resistant. Given its softness any scratches though can be buffed out.

This watch was love at
"This watch was love at first sight! Its retro fit, the extension band, the gold, and the automatic movement are a charming ensemble. The log-to-log size fits just perfect (my wrist is 6. 5) and remains in place. The movement works really well as well: is quiet and no stutter in the seconds. Great purchase!"

Nice looking watch. I’ve never
"Nice looking watch. I’ve never had a watch quite this small before although it list the sizing it seems like it’s probably better situated for a woman. The face of the watch is raised a little bit. The band itself is very easily adjustable. Huge win and extremely easy. Overall happy with the watch for the price point."

"Dope watch! Feel richer than the price tag suggest."
Bracelet is tricky to adjust.
"Bracelet is tricky to adjust. If you listen closely, the dial makes a weird noise as if something is broken inside. The glass on the top of the watch looks very cheap as if it’s made out of plastic and has a white hue around the corners."
Love the classic look. The
"Love the classic look. The fit is great, however, the adjustable links tend to come apart while putting on or taking off. Otherwise, love it, love it, love it!!"
Since I’ve bought this watch
"Since I’ve bought this watch I’ve never worn it. I took the wristband apart to readjust for a smaller wrist and could not put back together. The links were weak and bent out of shape. My husband tried, I tried nothing worked. Therefore it’s just gathering dust."
Great design!
"Great design!"

- Does the Perfect Fit Expansion Band tug on hairs excessively if you have hairy wrists?
- Hello Matt! Thank you so much for reaching out with your question about the Perfect Fit Expansion Band. This band is designed with smoother links to help reduce pulling and improve comfort during everyday wear. While some expansion bands may occasionally catch hair depending on wrist hair and movement, many customers find this style comfortable and easy to wear.
