This is a surprisingly solid watch. It looks great, it feels good, and it's really cool, and its cheap. I think this would be a great starting watch for someone interested in self winding or mechanical watches in general, for the price you can't go wrong. I'ts been part of my rotation for almost a month and I've had no issues. Each display has a button to adjust, 1 of the buttons are indented into the watch so you'd need a pin or something to press them. I recommend it to anyone, especially if you're new to watch collecting, I think you'll really like it.

SPEED 2X. I bought this for my husband as a Christmas present. It looks good. I can not say a lot yet until my husband gets this. I will write another review soon. Additional review for this watch; it works really well. I have not seen any problem with the item. My husband love it so much that he doesn't wanna wear it everyday to avoid scratches on it. I urge him to wear it everyday because thats one of the reason I bought it for him. He only wanna wear on special occasions. Tools that come with are very helpful to adjust the watch band. The packaging I choose was the premium one, becuase I wanted to present the watch beautifully as gift.

This watch is truly an amazing value for money When you look at it, it feels like something very highend and expensive, but the price is verv fair The design is very classy and stylish. The inside ot the watch face has a deep blue color that looks like the ocean. It gives the watch a very rich and elegant look. The black and blue combination is very unique and always catches people's eyes. Many friends have alreadv asked me where I got it from. The glass is super clear, and the dials are very easy to read and adjust. Even when I move my wrist quickly, I can still see the time without any problem. The roman numerals add a very classic touch that makes it look even more luxurious. The black metal strap is also very impressive. It feels comfortable on mv wrist and does not pinch or hurt when I move mv hand. It feels solid but also smooth at the same time. The overall build gives a verv strong and premium feeling. I washed my hands a few times while wearing it, and there were no issues at all. No water went inside. and the watch kept working perfectly.

"2nd Purchased, Stunning Watch, Perfect Features!" OLEVS 6701 exceeded my expectations. The mechanical self-winding movement is precise and reliable, and the multiple calendar features — day, date, month, and year — are incredibly convenient. I’m especially impressed by the tourbillon, which gives it a luxury feel. Being waterproof, it’s perfect for everyday wear. A gorgeous watch that’s worth every penny!

I love it. Like 10/10 stars even though I barely wore it 3 weeks. To me this is a trial watch for a watch you actually really want or are interested in. It's extremely interesting. A great entry level piece for someone just getting into watches or a teenager that wants to flex. It looks expensive. On close examination it still looks really fancy. This isn't something you'd actually wear daily for years but is a GREAT product for testing what you like on your wrist as a man.
