Review on ⌚ Quartz Pocket Watch with Vintage Numerals by Corey Nyuon

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Surprisingly good!: Men's

Received my Mudder pocket watch today and am surprisingly impressed. First, it was well packaged and arrived in perfect condition. Second, there was a protective plastic sheet on the front of the watch that I easily peeled off. Third, the case latch worked perfectly, although I'll be careful opening and closing the lid as this is a very reasonably priced watch. Fourth, the case is very nicely made and looks fashionable. Fifth, there are Roman numerals on the front of the case so I can read the time without opening the case. Sixth, the dial is attractive despite being simple in design. Seventh, the chain appears to be adequate in strength and length. Will the watch stand the test of time and use? This remains to be seen. I've always been very careful with my belongings and I hope this watch will last a long time. I will try to update this review after owning it for about a month. Edited on February 23, 2021: I am reluctant to return this watch for a replacement. First the positives: in the nearly 5 days I had it showed near perfect timing and slowed down by less than 30 seconds in 5 days. Second, this is a very nice watch with an easy to read dial. So what went wrong? The hinge and latch of the lid no longer work properly and opening and closing the watch is becoming increasingly difficult. I held the lid very gently when opening the watch and also pressed the release button when closing the watch. I found these two tips in a couple of reviews I read but they didn't help. I really hope the replacement watch doesn't have the same issues. And now hello to Revane. They made the return process very smooth and it was possible to get a replacement watch which I opted for. They automatically ordered it for me and it should arrive on Thursday. I should mention that shipping the watch back AND shipping a new watch was free for me. Thank you Revan for the good service. I will write more when I have a new watch. Edited February 28th, 2021: I received the replacement watch 3 days ago and it is as accurate as the first watch so I guess this part was no fluke. I am very happy about it. Almost at the same time, my wife and I came up with a possible solution to the hinge cover problem. Everything worked fine at first, but (during the first few hours) it became increasingly difficult to open and close the lid. Our solution was to use QTip and apply a very small amount of WD-40 to both the inside and outside of the hinge. So far this idea has worked great. I think since I use so little lube I'll repeat the process once a week. For now, there are no downsides to this interchangeable watch. If nothing goes wrong in that time, I'll make another, possibly final, update to this review in about a month. Revised March 25, 2021: I've been using this pocket watch for a month now and it continues to impress and perform. Spring. My idea of lubricating the case hinge with a small dab of WD-40 once a week works well. The hinge continues to work well and the hinge release button also works properly. I smear sometimes too. In terms of accuracy, it has increased by about 90 seconds over the past month. For a cheap quartz movement, I think this result is excellent. In general I am very satisfied. Mechanically they work well, keep time well and look good. Unless something changes drastically, this is where my review of this watch ends. Update 08/13/2021 I've been using this watch for almost 6 months and it never fails to impress me. The time measurement is very precise, the mechanism of the watch (opening and closing the lid) still works very well. then the chain will hold up well and the coating will not be worn anywhere. I use this watch for work because we can't use wristwatches for fear they will scratch the finish of the new cars I work on. Considering the education he is getting, I am very satisfied and I get a lot of positive feedback about him. This is a very good value watch and I am sure many of them fail as per the few reviews I have read. If you receive a broken one I will send it back and ask for a replacement because if you get a good one like mine you will be very happy with it.
