Review on shifenmei Wooden Watch Women: Handmade Engraved Wood Watch with Customized Design - Lightweight Ladies Wristwatch in Natural Exquisite Box by Heather Brown

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Looks great and works!

This watch is slightly larger than the photo if you can tell the size from the picture. I first bought a more expensive version that has the same picture as this one. I sent it back because it didn't work. Then I bought this one. They're a bit larger than I'd like (38mm instead of 35mm), but it's acceptable - and it works. Many years ago I looked through quite a few expensive watches, each of which lasted maybe a year. Then I bought a cheap $15 watch to live on until I found my next "perfect" watch. As might be expected, this cheap watch lasted around twelve years. I then bought inexpensive watches that lasted more than ten years each. In the end I decided I wanted a good watch again, this time made of wood. However, I made a mistake and paid a bit too much for the automatic movement. For me it would not be an automatic winding machine that would have to be wound by hand every day. This wore out the spindle, which is the weak point of every watch. The watch has been changed by the manufacturer 3 times and the fourth time they offered to replace it if I paid for shipping. Instead I decided to buy a new electric watch and that's how I ended up here. As this watch is cheap I don't expect it to last very long. If the past is any indication, it will probably be stuck there for another ten years. The time will show.

Pros
  • I hold my fists
Cons
  • Can I add something?
