I have one (I wore it today at Albacon) and it is quite delightful.

Oh, cool! I have been worrying a little that they might be too good to be true, as they are very cheap and cute. I'm glad to hear that they're good in person.

I ordered two, had my mom set them in Swarovski crystal necklaces and gave one to Kaja last year at WindyCon. She seemed pleased with it.

I don't know that they keep real good time, but for the price I'm not expecting Citizen.

I have one. They are nice.

A couple of things:
1) you do need to wind this on a regular basis.
2) don't wind it too much/hard in one setting or you will break it.

I know that many people are not used to having to wind a watch, but this is what I was told when I bought it.

What an awesome find, thanks so much for sharing! I put a bid on one and am looking for another cause it's just too good to pass up. Sucks that they are so far cause that makes the shipping go up, but hey they are awesome!
