Lovely concept, flawed design. The coin is about the size of an American half-dollar, so way to large for my wrist. The coin in my watch was very dull, nothing at all like the image. So dull that the detail of the coin could hardly be seen and the watch hands did not stand out in contrast as they would have if the coin were shiny. Additionally, the shamrock is tiny in comparison to the face. I had planned to return it but missed the 30-day window. Band & brass work are good quality.

• How accurate was the sizing? Too large
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. Quality of coin less than expected.
• Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? Yes.

If you happen to know the size of the original coin used in this watch, you probably would've done a better job than I did picturing the size of the face and the band. I gave it as a gift to my Irish mother, and she loves it, but she can't wear it every day because it really is BIG. I think this is more of a man's watch than a woman's in size, but in styling, it seems a little more aimed at women.

• Did the product fit true to size? No
• How is the quality of the product? Good
• Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? Yes

Personally I have never seen the watch; HOWEVER, I ordered it and had it shipped directly to a friend for a birthday. The review she gave it was off the chart! She collects watches and is Irish; she said she put it on the day she got it and has not taken if off yet (it has been two weeks). She was overwhelmed by the overall look of the piece. I would buy it again for other friends without worrying!

I LOVE this watch, It's classy and unique, The photo doesn't do it justice.The penny in mine is dated 1948 and gives it a sense of nostalgia. The casing was made beautifully to match the antique copper of the penny, the raised areas of the penny...Harp, Date and Eire, have a copper gleam as does the tiny Trinity Knots around the casing. a tiny green shamrock is attached to the second hand, again scaled in size to maintain a quality look, nothing comical about the design at all. I hope to get one for my Father, Brother, Son and Nephew for St. Pat's. Their instant reaction to seeing mine guarantees I've found the perfect gift. I really hope Overstock doesn't discontinue offing this watch. It has definate heirloom potential since every Irish person I've met are like me, not just Irish...Very Irish

It seems to run fine and looks nice. But, it is very hard to read the time on it.
