Very happy with this purchase!
I love this watch a lot—I get compliments almost daily (especially in the workplace). I wanted something retro that tells 24 hr time and this was the only way to go. It came packaged safely. The watch came in an Amazon box that was then protected in a faux suede Casio envelope cover that was then inside of a plastic film/bag. It doesn’t feel cheaply lightweight—has some good weight. I’ve had this watch two months maybe? For the price and quality I will be buying it in gold and silver again and again.
Thank you for your feedback

4.0 out of 5 stars Great, sharp watch for any occasion
Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2016
This watch is great! The user interface is easy to work with, It keeps great time and looks amazing! The watch can fit any wrist big or small as it has an adjustable band. If you are looking for a watch you want to be able to wear to a formal occasion yet you want to be able to wear it on a normal day to day basis as well then this is the one for you! It's sharp design and gold color makes this watch a good candidate for any occasion.
HERE ARE THE ONLY TWO CONS:
The shipping is a scam. They want you to spend extra on the faster shipping. If you ask for the standard shipping they simply wait a few days and then send it on overnight shipping as opposed to just sending it on overnight shipping immediately after purchase with the faster shipping selected.
The wrist band is of extremely low quality. It looks absolutely fantastic however the paint rubs off very easily. Unfortunately I do not know of any place you can buy a replacement band for this watch. So in its own is somewhat of a scam because when the band fades it means getting a new watch. These two cons are the reasons why it lost a star.
The watch is still overall amazing! And for the price Its rather good value. I would highly recommend this watch.

5.0 out of 5 stars I would buy it again
Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2016
I'm doing this review after a year of purchase & the watch is stilll holding up ! This is a must have watch ⌚️! It's waterproof! It tells you the time & date ! You can also change it to military time ! There's a button you can press for you to see the time in the dark & it has an alarm that beeps every hour ! Plus a stop watch ! & the straps are adjustable & can continue to adjust it as your wrist get bigger ! It's stainless steel & the square shape is a classic & so different ! I love It so much ! You're automatically cool if you own this watch ! I don't know what else you can ask for ! It's much cheaper on amazon compared to American apparel & some other stores that sell this watch ! This is a photo taken after a year of purchase ! Just a minor scratches cause I store it with my rings ! Other than that; it's still lit ! 🔥

5.0 out of 5 stars Vintage style
Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2022
The watch is so far so good. No issues, lightweight with a throwback look. Although I will not test the water resistance of the watch, I do get splashes on it often as I wash my hand. Usually I dry it as I dry my hands. I love the fact I can change time into and from 24hr format with one click. Definitely an eye catcher.

El producto cumple con todas las caracteristicas presentadas en la publicación, en la publicación no ofrecen la caja de aluminio edición vintage por lo cual no viene(viene la normal de cartón) y con eso no tuve ningún problema, reloj nuevo con mica y muy bien empacado por parte del vendedor(no se salió de su base o caja), la caja no tenía ningún detalle eso es bueno ya que el servicio de paquetería manejó adecuadamente el paquete(en mi caso), excelente producto y fidelidad con los compradores. Lo recomiendo.
