Review on πŸŒ‚ Elegantly Waterproofed: BUREI Women's Automatic Watch with Soft Leather Strap by Lauren Salvage

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Beautiful but inaccurate

I have never seen a more beautiful watch. Diamonds (or zirconia, they look the same), gears, details, engravings, red leather. They are perfect from an aesthetic point of view, except for the plastic that is glued to the jewel on the handle, which is not even very noticeable. They fit a variety of wrist sizes including my small wrists where they fit perfectly. The only thing stopping me from recommending this watch. that it doesn't keep the exact time. I haven't bothered to measure accurately, but it gains anywhere from 45-100 seconds over 24 hours if I wear it throughout the day, although the time gain seems consistent. I like to tell myself I can't wait to get to work on time, but having to pull out a pen and set the time every other day or have a watch that doesn't tell the time, especially when I'm on time, gets on my nerves I have other automatic mechanical watches that are not as comfortable or beautiful but tell the best time and I know accurate timekeeping is possible in this price range. If this watch would tell the time correctly, it would be the perfect watch. The watch lasts approximately 36 hours after being fully wound. Also, I don't actually have to wind the watch because I find that the movement of my hand and body is more than enough to wind it perfectly. Another comment on usefulness. I was pleasantly surprised that the watch hands glow in the dark. However, without a glow-in-the-dark timestamp, it's quite difficult to tell the time with glow-in-the-dark watch hands floating in the dark without a reference.

Pros
  • High quality automatic movement imported from Japan, accurate timekeeping, no battery required, delivers kinetic energy when the hand moves
Cons
  • Some difficulties
