Love this thing!! First automatic for me did a decent amount of research for my budget and this seemed to be the most rugged. I work turf management and excavation so this thing isn’t going to have a good life and I gotta say I’ve already put this thing through hell for 2 weeks. Obv not a longevity review but I’ve already hit it twice where I was afraid to look for a scratch….to my surprise it looks absolutely perfect still. So far I’m impressed I will prob get a more comfortable silicone band but all in all very happy. I only take it off to shower so as far as I know it holds time great.
If it is not worn for a day or two the “automatic “ feature stops and you have to reset time/day/time. I would not buy another watch without a battery or eco-drive.
Citizen ResponseWe appreciate your feedback. Choosing an automatic watch is an individual preference. As you may know, an automatic watch is self-winding and powered by the motion of the wearer’s wrist. If the watch is not worn often, it would need winding because of the intricate movement. What’s very desirable about automatic watches is their craftsmanship and lasting quality, and like Eco-Drive watches, they never need a battery. We hope you’ll enjoy your automatic watch for years to come.
