OLEVS Watches Men Stainless Steel Chronograph Watch Luxury Big Face Man Dress Watches Waterproof Roman Numeral Analog Quartz

I have wanted an automatic (self-winding) watch for years, but this is the first one I bought. Of the well-known watch brands, I was leaning toward getting a Seiko, but even those were a few hundred dollars. (And let's not even talk about Rolex!) I figured for less than $100, and with Amazon's return policy, this was a good bet for letting me dip my toes in the self-winding watch pool. So far (after 3+ days), I like the watch. It's nice looking. I am not trying to fool anyone by claiming it's a Rolex, even though it is trying hard to look like one. If anyone asks (one has, so far), I say it's not a Rolex, it's a cheap automatic watch from China. But I like it. The size is nice, it seems sturdy enough, it feels substantial without being too heavy, and it works. I was pleased when I opened the shipping box to find that the watch was running. I took that to mean that it was self-winding in transit. The instructions for shortening the band are helpful as I had to remove three links. Although the watch came with its own tool for removing the links, I used one that I had on my workbench because it seems to be a little sturdier. For me, there are two big questions when buying a watch: Does it keep time? Yes, it does. I compared it against time standard and it gains approximately 30 seconds per day. Is that chronograph accuracy? Hell no! But good enough for me. Is it reliable? Well, after three days, I really don't know yet. So far, so good, but I guess only time will tell. (Pun intended.) ============== UPDATE 2023-03-28 ==================== I bought an automatic watch winder on Amazon for less than $30. I put the watch in the winder every night and, so far, I have not had to hand-wind the watch. And it still keeps good time. ============== UPDATE 2023-04-18 ==================== Be careful with the outer bezel ring. (Is it called the diving ring or something?) It scratches very easily. I can't tell what it's made of, but it does not seem to be painted on. It's almost like a decal that scratches off easily. I guess I scraped mine against something rough. The crystal looks fine, but the minute markings on the outer ring scratched up a bit. Read more

Looks expensive. Works great Read more

Stylish watch that keeps perfect time. Have worn this for two weeks and is only 3 seconds off from the Atomic Clock. Like the automatic movement that requires no battery or winding. Read more

Terribly written "Chinglish" instructions and a useless remove tool that bends before you can get any pins out. Tried it over and over and wasted an hour on resizing alone to no avail. Instant return. Read more

I could go on and on about the virtues of this timepiece. First off it’s just fantastic to look at it’s finished perfectly in every way no sharp edges or cheap looking materials. All the features work as they should . Also it’s completely waterproof for all the normal water stuff I’ve used it in including salt water immersion, pool and hot tub use and showering to name a few all with no water intrusion whatsoever that’s always my dealbreaker if it can’t take everyday types of submersion I have no use for it . I currently own four different olevs watches all different looks and not one has malfunctioned in any way and all have been submersed numerous times with no issues. I also appreciate that the underside watch case is clear which allows you to view the watches mechanism as it operates. Also this watch is self winding automatic which means if you don’t wear it for about 24hrs the watch will stop it doesn’t have battery backup which I kinda like, no batteries to worry about replacing . You can self wind the crown about twenty or so rotations and it will run for about a day. The automatic self winding works perfectly you just have to keep it on your wrist to keep it wound. Picture myself with this watch on my left wrist arm propped up in the drivers side window of my corvette and from your car to mine all you see is a real nice Rolex submariner if your in the know which is mission accomplished for Me and I saved 15k. I can buy two tickets to paradise with what I saved and everybody’s happy. Winning! Read more
