 Looks good, quiet, accurateSep 26, 2010
By Guy Montag
Received this watch as a gift, bit of a skeleton watch fan. I have an Invicta Skeleton and it never kept time accurately, the hour and minute hands never lined up at 12:00, etc. This is everything the more expensive Invicta should have been.
I've gotten numerous nice comments on it from coworkers, and it's my favorite daily wear watch at the moment. If you like the look, you can't go wrong with this one.
I've had it for a little over 5 months now, and the only instance where I've needed to reset the time were the ones where I let it unwind after a few days of not wearing it. Keeps time as well as a quartz (from my inattentive perception, anyway), but looks a lot sexier.
Note: This watch, while not a delicate flower, isn't some mil-spec monster that can take being run over by a tank without a scratch. I've been a bit too inattentive at times in rough environments and put a few scratches and scrapes in the metal. So don't go around scraping it against rough concrete walls and you'll be good.

 Not goodJul 28, 2011
By Paul
Size and Shape:
The diameter is 1.5", which is large, but not horrible if your wrists are big. The bigger problem was how tall the case is; it sticks up very far from your wrist and interferes with sleeves, putting on jackets, and cuffs of shirts. Also, the watch mechanical parts only extend about 1" in diameter, then the see-through ring around the edge (you will see your skin through it) is just extra space to make the watch face bigger, and doesn't house any parts.
Defective Movement:
When I first got the watch, it worked fine and did 4 ticks of the second hand per second. This is a nice feature, since you can watch the gears / parts swing back and forth twice for each second, and the second hand itself appears to be a continuous-drive one, since the 1/4-second ticks are small. After only about 2-3 days, problems with the second hand started developing, and it would stutter or "hang" at several points in each 1-minute revolution. There are videos of this online, since other Kenneth Cole watches use the same cheap movement. It seemed to catch up, but it was irritating that the second hand would pause for 3-6 ticks (about 0.5 to 1.5 seconds), then "jump" to catch up. To summarize, the second hand movement is cheap and broke almost instantly.
Summary:
I ended up returning this watch. The leather strap is very nice and comfortable, but the watch is too big and the second-hand movement was defective.

A nice automatic for under $100Apr 28, 2011
By Stephan
The picture does not do justice for this watch. The quality is very high for a watch of this price and being an automatic, you don't need to replace the batteries... ever. The face is a little larger than I expected but it looks very classy. The time is easy to tell despite the "busy" skeleton face. I am really happy with this purchase and will wear this one often.

Stunning WatchJan 22, 2011
By A. Yang
The photos does not do this watch any justice. You just got to see it in real. Brilliant and beautiful watch. The moment I got it, I was appreciating it already. It's China movement though and not japanese movement but the beauty of it makes up for it. Will definitely wear it for functions and dinner. This watch also made me wanting to get a watch winder because it's automatic.

Only problem is how beautifully distracting it is!Jul 01, 2012
By elfbandit

I bought this watch for myself about 6 months ago as a Christmas present for myself, and I have to say this is the most stunning watch I've owned. Like some other comments have pointed out, it's a little big if you're used to timex or swatch watches, but that's because of all of the clockwork inside. The mechanical movement is really where this watch shines. I've shopped around for other skeleton watches and I've been disappointed with the small window views into the watch's interior, but this one lays it all out for you to see. The back-and-forth motion of all of the gears and parts is mesmerizing to watch, and even the back is clear so you can see the auto-wind mechanism at work. Furthermore, the glass is sturdy and hasn't gotten a scratch in 6 months even though I've worn it almost every day, and the craftsmanship is solid.
I would highly recommend this watch to anyone who wants to own a skeleton watch, but doesn't want to drop $150+ on getting something overpriced. A few notes about automatic watches in general: if you don't wear it frequently or keep it wound, it will stop after about 2 days. Just to put it out there, I've never really had an issue keeping my watch wound as long as I wear it, but on days where I'm glued to my desk all day 3-4 manual twists keeps it going. Also note that if it gets over wound or under wound it looses or gains a few minutes. Not a big deal since I can re-sync it with my phone every month or so, but it's something to be aware of.
Pros:
- Simple, but sophisticated. I wear it every day, but I could easily wear it with a suit and look just as good
- Beautiful motion you can see
- Smaller than other skeleton watches I've compared
- Easy to read (always important in a watch!)
Cons:
- Kind of big. I have a small wrist and it takes up my whole wrist, but some people might not like that
- Heavy. Definitely not for activewear
- Automatic. I realize this is a feature of the watch, but it's not for everybody
