- Is this watch really automatic?
- Yes. It is a mechanical automatic, wound by the motion of your wrist, with no battery. If you don't wear it for a day or two it will stop and need a few shakes or a manual wind to restart.
- Can I swim with it?
- No. The 30m rating means it resists splashes and rain, not swimming or showering. Keep it out of water and away from steam.
- How big does it wear?
- The case is 43mm across and 16mm thick, so it wears large and tall. It suits medium to larger wrists; on a slim wrist the thickness is noticeable under a cuff.
- What is the difference between the strap and bracelet versions?
- The leather-look versions use a pin buckle on a strap; the steel versions use a metal link bracelet. Both attach to the same 43mm case, and the bracelet versions add weight.
- Does the skeleton dial make it hard to read?
- Yes, somewhat. The open gears sit behind the hands, and the blue hands can blend into the busy dial. Reading the time takes a moment longer than on a plain dial, especially in dim light.
- Does it need servicing?
- Like any mechanical watch, it benefits from servicing every few years, though on a budget movement many owners simply run it until it stops. Avoid drops and magnets, which affect accuracy.
