Review on VIGOROSO Vintage Pocket UNITED Steampunk by Andre Belitz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Updated Men's Review

The first watch I received had a stuck second hand which caused the watch to sag. I wrote to the seller as stated in his prospectus and after a week I received no reply. So I packed it back up and asked Revane for an exchange. The replacement watch they sent me didn't work at all. I thought the watch might just need a new battery. When I checked the well, the battery didn't fit properly in the well and was corroded. I asked for a refund, there will be no third time. Update: A few days after the review was posted I was contacted by the seller asking me if they could send another watch due to the inconvenience and asking me to update the review. Decided to update the review with the watch the seller sent me. The watch case is clean with a nice finish. The front clasp/clasp is strong. The chain feels cheap and uncomfortable. This is more of a necklace than a pocket watch chain, but could easily be replaced with something more traditional. As far as timing goes, the mechanism of this watch is smooth and doesn't stick like others. However, I checked it. I specifically installed it next to a cell phone and two other watches. This watch runs a little faster, gaining two minutes in three days, which isn't as bad of a time waster as the first watch, and really only needs a weekly adjustment. This is a $10 pocket watch that behaves like a $10 pocket watch. The one I got from the seller is nothing out of the ordinary other than the USAF design and no less than what you would expect for the price of the item. I have given a new rating of 4 stars. 3 for the watch and 1 extra star for the seller who goes out of his way to solve the problem honestly and puts the satisfaction of their customers first.

Pros
  • So far so good
Cons
  • Definitely bad product
