Stuhrling Original Women's Othello Large Skeleton Automatic Watch

it's a very nice looking watch. I got a defective product initially and when i called the customer service they were very helpful. Immediately they placed a replacement and i got that replacement in just 3 days. About the watch: its a great looking watch. it's my first skeleton watch and i really love it. I really like the mechanism behind the watch dial (donno why). also it's keeping the time accurate so far (i'm writing this review on the second day after i received the watch). I am concerned about some other reviews saying that the watch doesn't keep the correct time. So i have to keep an eye on it and will update this review accordingly. overall, 5 star rating...!!

I am happy with the appearance of this watch however it does look alittle funny on skinny wrists. I have not purchased a "wind up" watch since I was a teen (Timex). The only issue I see so far with this watch is that it has to be wind up or it stops. I purchased 3 watches (made by Stuhrling) and this as well as the Juliet Rosetone watch have to be wind up daily.

Decided to wait a few weeks before reviewing-- my experience thus far is as such: As several other reviews have noted, it is larger and heavier than it appears in the picture. Pretty thick, too-- at least half an inch. I don't mind, myself, but a word of caution to those prefer smaller watches. It is very gorgeous though-- fits my personal bill of being a skeleton without being garish or overly distracting. The hands are a lovely blue color (and glow in the dark) and the time is easy to read. And I've lost several minutes just watching the balance wheel and escapement spin and do their thing... :) Regarding the movement: I had to do some research on this, but I feel it is important to note that this is not a Swiss movement-- this is a Chinese movement, and from what I can tell it is not quite a clone but is an adaptation of a pretty standard Unitas movement. It was originally gaining somewhere between 10 and 15 seconds a day, but now that I've broken it in it seems to have slowed down a bit and is more accurate. Only time will tell. Overall I'm very pleased with this watch so far, I was looking for a classy entry-level skeleton automatic that wouldn't break the bank and this was one of the few watches out there I could find that fit the bill. Just don't go into it expecting something mindblowing like a Rolex or whatever, and you're good to go. The real question now is how long the watch will last, as Chinese movements are still somewhat hit-and-miss. Guess we'll find out in a year or so. In the meantime I've managed to inspire at least one other person to buy their own-- guess I show it off a lot :)
