I just received this beautiful timepiece today. Boy am I ever so glad to have taken that leap on prime day. This watch is gorgeous and of high quality. Minimalist design that can go with any outfit you wear, but it's best suited for dressy and casual look. Was afraid the size may look a little big but I think it's perfect after seeing it on my wrist. The power reserve was on zero upon unboxing. I winded the watch to full and changed the time and date as well. I can actually feel the high quality craftsmanship put into this watch. Can't wait to use and match it with my outfits. Only time (no pun intended) will tell the durability, hopefully it'll last for years to come.? I love love this item, will update if any issues ever arises. Right now it's an A+ for both watch and seller. Thank you! ?Exceeded expectationVery hard review for me to write. I really want to give it 5 stars, but I can't.Let me start by saying this watch is beautiful. It has a great weight, nice thickness, beautiful band, and pretty face. It could easily be mistaken for a watch that cost many thousands of dollars. I think it's a steal for $200. I purchased a different Chinese made mechanical watch about 12 years ago when I visited China. I thought it was a steal back then for about $70. Twelve years later that watch still keeps excellent time, better than 1 minute over a few of days. This watch is more beautiful than that one, and I'm hoping for an equally long life. I have had this watch for 5 days now. The first morning I wore it I wound it to about 20 hours reserve and have worn it everyday since. It generally ends my work day with 35 hours reserve just from the self winding mechanism powered via movement of my wrist and has plenty of reserve power left when I leave for work the next morning. Over the 5 day period it has kept time within better than 1 minute over 5 days. This is excellent and I'm supremely happy.Why 4 stars then? Well, it was a hard decision, but this is actually the 3rd version of this watch I received. My wife originally purchased the watch for my birthday, but that one kept horrible time out of the box. She worked with FIECE's customer support and they were truly wonderful. Extremely responsive and helpful. She purchased another one and the second kept perfect time, just as this third version does, but the seconds had didn't move. Again FIECE support was incredibly responsive and helpful.I believe the first two watches arrived broken due to Amazon Warehouse packing of the watch box. The first two watches arrived in a box about 8 time bigger than the watch box with ZERO backing material. As soon as I picked up the box from my front door, I felt the big heavy inner watch box slide and bang against the inside of the outside box. As I move the box around while opening it I felt the inner watch box again slide and bang against the side of the outside box. The third watch I received had packing material and arrived in perfect condition.So the hard decision on how many stars to give. Beautiful watch, great price, keeps awesome time, great customer support from FEICE, but it took me three tries to get a working version, though I do think Amazon was to blame for not using any packing material in the box.So there you guy. It seems Amazon is now using packing material to ship the watch and it's hard to imagine anyone won't love the watch if it arrives in working order.I really like this watch. It's a very good statement on minimized watch design and is not copying any other brands. It feels really good on my wrist too, and the reserve indicator is a real bonus. Heck, it's even one of the easiest to wind automatic watches that I have.I noticed that it seemed to lose at least 5 minutes per week. I thought this is a lot of inaccuracy. I then put it on a professional watch timer tool and found that it's actually running at around +/- 15-20 seconds per day. This is entirely within reasonable expectations for an automatic mechanical watch, so I'm happy.The movement is pretty obvious too, so if I decide to try and actually regulate the watch it will be pretty straightforward. As I said, I really like this watch.This watch is a stunner, if you love the minimalist bauhaus look. For me the killer feature is the power reserve indicator, which dominates the watch face. I've had it for 2 days, and thus far haven't had to wind it once, which was just after receiving it. So in normal daily wear, the power reserve fluctuates between about 27 hours when you wake up in the morning to 30-35 hours after wearing it for a day, since it winds itself a little with every movement you make. Automatic watches always gain or lose a little bit every day, even the very expensive ones. This one is especially accurate, and has lost maybe 45 seconds over the 2 days I've been wearing it; very very good in the scheme of things.The domed, curved crystal is another feature I love, giving it a very unusual, eye catching, elegant look.The blued hands are beautiful, and the slight curve of the longer minute hand also gives the watch an extra flair, albeit low key.It's always fun to have a transparent back as well. The strap it comes with is one of the better faux alligator patterned straps I've seen, although I'll probably repalce it with a custom made ostrich leg strap I have in this 20mm width. The winding mechanism works crisply & accuratelyl, as do the time & date adjustment. I love being able at a glance to see how many hours of power reserve I have left. 35 hours is respectable, and so far it has,'t dropped below 25 hours! This watch is so affordable because it's made in China. That's no longer necessarily a negative. Clearly, Feice has looked closely at similar designs, particularly the Glashütte Nomos Lambda, which has a very similar face, but with a power reserve of 84 hours instead of 35 and no date window, a blue face and a price tag of 12,200 Euros. My one criticism is that, if they were to charge another $20 or so, they could have provided a very hard, durable sapphire crystal, instad of the mineral crystal provided, especially beacause the large curved crystal is easily brushed or bumped accidentally, potentailly resulting in scratches.Of all the thousands and thousands of watches out there trying to make you part with your money for me this watch immediately stood out from the crowd - its understated elegance and minimalist looks are quite striking and unusual. Immediate impressions out of the box are quality, it's a substantial size (42mm) and weight. Because I have small wrists I was concerned it may look 'over the top' and be uncomfortable to wear, but because it's totally not 'flashy' and looks nice and slim even on my wrist I think I can get away with it, plus the watch itself is very comfortable to wear but I will replace the strap with another as I do find the folding clasp does dig into my wrist. Another concern were the very 'waif-like' narrow hands which I thought may be difficult to see without a double-take or more, but not a bit of it, they are very easy to read even in dim light which surprised me. I also like the blue finish of them, sometimes in certain light when you look straight on they look black and at an angle the blue finish glistens.So okay it's made in China but that's totally no bad thing. The Chinese are more than capable of producing goods of equal quality if not better than the rest of the world and at the moment almost always at a lower cost - this watch is a great example of that. So I wouldn't let this put you off, if you do you'll miss out on a lovely watch for the price. Also from making comparisons Amazon are by far the cheapest place to buy, the other well known site almost EveryBodY checks out has this model @ £395 plus custom duty from America.To me a mechanical watch almost has a heart and soul, that combined with the fact this automatic needs you to wear it to provide the energy to enable it to tell you the time also gives me a connection with it I just don't find with a quartz - okay it won't be as accurate but that's the beauty of it, it needs 'hands-on' attention every now and again and that for me is no bad thing.The other reviews for this watch say it all - basically you will not be disappointed if you decide to buy, I know I wasn't.L'orologio è molto bello e il suo disegno pulitissimo è un omaggio alla celebre scuola tedesca di design "Bauhaus": ricorda molto il pregiatissimo Nomos, prodotto peraltro solo in platino. La costruzione e la rifinitura sono impeccabili, il vetro ricurvo ne accentua l'eleganza, come lo spessore della cassa e il fondello, avvitato, con il movimento a vista, che appare anche esso ben rifinito..Il rotore per l'automatismo funziona perfettamente e tiene bene il tempo, testato anche sul campo da tennis.Una menzione speciale merita il venditore/produttore.Nell'indossare l'orologio, per mia colpevole dabbenaggine, ne ho provocato la caduta, di taglio sul pavimento: risultato vetro rotto e asse del bilancere piegato, come constatato dal mio orogiaio di fiducia.Mi sono rivolto direttamente alla Feice per chiedere i ricambi, e prontamente mi hanno risposto offrendomi la riparazione e fornitura di ricambi a titolo gratuito.Alla ricezione dell'orologio, mi hanno nuovamente contattato per informarmi che per mia maggiore soddisfazione avrebbero sostituito l'orologio danneggiato con uno nuovo, con l'omaggio di un cinturino di riserva.L'orologio mi è appena arrivato ed è quello ripreso nelle foto allegate.Molti criticano per principio i prodotti cinesi, ritenendoli inaffidabili e di pessima qualità.Credo che sia sbagliato generalizzare: contrariamente a tale asserzione ci arrivano dalla Cina anche prodotti di eccellente qualità, come nel campo dell'elettronica e della telefonia e gli orologi della Feice appartengono a tale categoria.Infine mi chiedo: quale commerciante o produttore italiano avrebbe mostrato tanta cortesia nei confronti del cliente?Tolles zeitloses Bauhaus Design gefällt mir sehr. Ich habe die Uhr sowie andere Marke von anderen Verkäufern seit langem geachtet und viele Rezensionen gelesen. Vorher hat eine andere Uhr mit ähnlichem Design meine Interesse geweckt, am Mindesten das Bild war ganz schön. Als ich die erhalten haben, war ich sehr enttäuscht, die ist eigentlich eine Fälschung.Danach habe ich diese Marke FEICE zu Vergleichszwecken gekauft. Es ist eine große Überraschung sage ich mal. Anbei lege ich die Bilder bei, alle Unterschiede sind sehr deutlich zu sehen. FEICE ist einfach empfehlenswert. Das Glas sowie das Zifferblatt sind gewölbt und sehen sehr elegant aus. Es gibt ebenso Anti-Reflex-Beschichtung, dadurch sieht man das Zifferblatt sehr klar. Der Zeiger wird in schöner blauer Farbe brüniert und wird sich farblich geändert wenn man die Uhr bewegt. Die Uhr habe ich schon für 2 Wochen getragen und bin soweit sehr zufrieden, Die Uhr ist sehr stabil und die Genauigkeit ist sehr hoch. Obwohl FEICE ein bisschen teurer ist, finde ich die ist preiswert und empfehlenswert.Ansonsten ist der Armband von FEICE aus Leder wo anders nicht.I got this watch for my wife birthday, it's arrived really quick, which is a bonus. Really nice package and it' looks very presentable. The watch is light, stylish and looks great on the wrist. I would recommend this product as my wife really liked it.
