FORSINING Men's Mechanical Hand-Wind Analog Sport Style Wristwatch with Leather Strap

I was specifically looking for a mechanical windup watch, not an automatic. A manual wound watch averages a couple mm thinner than autos, and that was important to me. This watch at just under $30 feels like an excellent value. I've been wearing it daily since I got it and every time I put it on and wind it I'm happy.A few important points.First, the winding and setting feels solid. Some cheap watches have a junky feel, but this watch feels very nice. The crown pulls out smooth, setting the hands feels great and winding feels just right.Second, the build quality looks amazing. I studied it under magnification and I'm amazed at the appearance, my watch looks to be flawless from a cosmetic standpoint. How did they do it for $30?Third, this is my first mesh band and I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised. Very comfortable and the clasp works well. However if I have one issue it's that the clasp feels like the thing that might be most likely to fail. If that happens I'll update my review. Don't let this point turn you away from the watch, I'm just looking for something to highlight that isn't all positive.Finally, I'll just state I'm not new to mechanical watches, and I own several autos, including a 30 year old Seiko 5 that's never been serviced and works great, plus a vintage Renis automatic, Swatch Irony, Times, a Trias and a few quartz watches. I like them all, but I'm finding this T-Winner to be my new daily watch over the Seiko, I just like the way it looks and feels on the wrist and so far it's been great from a functionality standpoint. I wind it about 20 turns in the morning and then set it, and it runs all day. Sometimes I'll wind at night again, but usually I forget and by morning it stops. But that's fine, I enjoy the process of winding and setting, it's why I sought a pure windup watch.If you are looking for an inexpensive watch that frees you from having to replace batteries, this is a good place to start. I am happy to recommend this watch.

This is a surprisingly good watch. It keeps time very well, it's comfortable to wear and looks good. I replaced the strap immediately with an inexpensive leather strap, and the seconds sub-dial may not have anything to do with...actual time, as It has stops, jumps, skips. But the watch itself keeps excellent time. For the price? I'm extremely happy with it, and have been wearing it a lot. Roughly a month in, no problems at all. I wind it when I take it off at night and it is still running great in the morning.

Beautiful watch, and I really like the style and size. The problem is that it is very temperamental. I have been winding it fully every morning and at times it stops completely even though it is fully wound. Then it takes me quite sometime of gently tapping and shaking it to get it going again. This has happened several times and is very annoying. I started winding it about halfway, from what I could judge, and the problem persists. I'm wondering if the watch needs an overhaul, but I just bought it in January 2025. This is not normal, and the printed instructions that came with it are no help. This is the second time I purchased this particular watch when I replaced the first one after only two years of use and the first one had the same problem. What am I doing wrong? Is it me or defective machinery. Please help!!!!!Ernest O.

Great little watch for the super budget segment, I've been wearing it for a few days and only had one issue where the band bars disconnected and tried to drop the watch. Just replaced the strap, which is garbage, with a new, nicer strap (with a buckle that doesn't clash with the watch) and it's been ticking away. The hand wind feels a little grody, it's quite loud compared to my more expensive mechanical watches as well, which may be indicative of poor tolerances. Overall you get what you pay for, but in this case I believe this watch hits well above its price range, looks nice (if you're looking for the semiformal grandpa aesthetic) and keeps time well enough for something without a hacking second. Set it when you wind it in the morning and it'll be good enough to keep you just about within the minute until work lets out.I've been looking for a Winner branded watch that wasn't gaudy or ugly for a while and this one fits the bill. I really find these cheap crappy mechanical watches fascinating and I'm glad to wear it until it breaks, which I suspect won't be too far down the line.If you want a real mechanical on a budget muster up the cash for a Seiko 5 or an orient. If you want something that ticks and looks cool through the case back for <40 bucks (adding the purchase of a half way decent strap) buy this.

Don't get me wrong. I really like this watch. I got it before travelling overseas because I needed a watch with no battery that just just keeps me on time. This watch does that. My only quibble is that it runs maybe 90 or 120 seconds fast every day. But for me, that's fine. And I'm still using this as my daily watch over a month after getting back home. It's on my wrist just about every day.Before putting the watch on in the morning, I simply wind it and set it to the same time as my phone, and it's good for the rest of the day. My needs are modest and this watch is a good match for that. Plus, and I really love this, I'll never have to change the battery. (This is how just about all wristwatches worked 60 years ago.)I'd recommend this watch to someone who needs kind of an old-school watch at a very decent price. I've done the smartwatch thing, and find this watch refreshing by comparison. (Which is weird, because I'm very into technology in pretty much every other aspect of my life.)

This watch looks very classy and stylish, like something much more expensive. It has a nice design and good quality for the price. It also works really well and feels reliable every time I use it.
