Gotham watch: great design and support

Bought this watch a month and a half ago. I still love the look and feel, down to the little details (like how the top link snaps smoothly behind the face). Unlike my newest watch and many of the other watches in the house, this watch hasn't lost or fallen a second in six weeks. I personally don't use a chain as most men's trousers have a small pocket (originally made for a pocket watch I've read) to allow the watch to fit perfectly. I was also impressed with Gotham's customer service. Watch, which appears to make and sell these watches. Before ordering I asked a detailed question (how can I hear the clock ticking) and received a detailed reply the same day with a suggestion to return the watch for a full refund if it didn't fit me. (I can hear it ticking when I hold it to my ear, but not at arm's length or in my pocket. This makes it much quieter than an analog clock, which I don't like that I can hear ticking when I want to.) I'm in the same quiet room.) When I received the watch, I found that it wasn't as thin as I expected. I noticed that maybe a third of its thickness is due to a transparent crystalline coating that isn't visible in the photo. Again the seller responded the same day stating that the glass had been removed to eliminate glare from the front photos but needed to be restored for the side photos. Obviously I was the first to point this out in three years, so I guess most people don't mind. He said he would try to retake the side photos and offered me the choice of returning the watch for a full refund or a discount. It's still a thin watch and doesn't feel bulky in my pocket so I'm keeping it. Another note: the watch I received after ordering on this site has a reflective surface, while the photos (especially the back) look matte. I didn't even notice the difference until I wrote this review. But if you're picky about things like this, I recommend checking with Gotham Watch before ordering. (If it's not clear how Revain does this, you can easily go to the seller's website and find their contact information there.)

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for the elderly
