The watch outperformed my $750 Movado quartz in my collection. This is an amazingly priced watch that has a nice classic design and feel. You can’t go wrong with it, and you really might only lose a few seconds a year. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a watch they won’t have to re-set the time every few months, after a year of usage, this watch hasn’t lost a single minute.
This is my first purple watch, and I waited for the right one. The color of these watches (both blue and purple) is even better in the metal: you have to see them in person!
Amazing one of the best watches I collected
Wonderful quality and beautiful product. Highly recommend
The green mother of pearl dial is stunning in the light and the smooth high beat movement adds to the nice visuals of this watch. Well done AJ.
Beautiful aventurine dial and great value. Solid bracelet with excellent on-the-fly microadjust clasp. Well packaged and quick processing and shipping. Thanks!
Beautiful watch and style. Very happy with the purchase!
Nice watches at fair prices. Fast friendly service.
A beautiful watch at an exceptional price.
Wears well. Good execution. I'm enjoying it a lot and would buy it again.
Premium quality with fantastic customer service. Chicago is lucky to have this brand !
Excellent watch, amazing value! Couldn’t be happier with this gem of a watch.
I’ve been wearing this watch for 2 weeks straight since I bought it. Dial is very nice to look at, realistic and only occasionally makes you want to order pizza.
Nice looking watch. Gave it to wife who wears several watches for different occasions. She wears this more than the others. Keeps time within a few seconds per day. I think it provides great value for the price. Looking forward to the quartz version.
This is a very well designed, well produced watch! Solid quartz movement - keeping dead -on accurate time so far. Also, I have received several compliments on the watch. Customer service was excellent and I highly recommend Alexander James!
