GH-108

The watch is excellent and quality and I’m a big boy so the band was too short so I contacted the seller and explained that I needed three more links for the band and hurriedly Sent three links to me and I installed them and the watch fits nicely now. I would recommend buying this watch. It’s a little bit heavy, but it is nice.

I am a female that is addicted to watches (and t-shirts, but that’s another review)! I wanted a two tone watch (gold/silver) to bridge my white gold wedding ring with my gold costume jewelry. This certainly does the trick! The bling factor is stunning but not over the top. It looks great with my wedding ring and is just as sparkly. I am 5’4” with very small wrists. After taking links off both sides of the band (to keep the latch centered on my wrist), the watch fit great! The watch has significant weight, but not annoying… Note for the ladies: it’s not any heavier than some of the big bulky bracelets we wear. I was able to set the date, time, and day within five minutes. The watch arrived in very nice packaging with protective film over the face and band. The tool for removing the link was different from the instructions. However, it still worked. Had to use the handle of a screw driver with the pin tool provided to “tap” the link pins out. Some came out easier than others. Just be sure to keep the protective film on and place the watch on a folded hand towel or something soft to keep from damaging it. The Flaws: The white lettering inside the face looks spotty. You can see it in the closeup pic I provided of the watch face. The watch also looked like it had some damage on the band where someone tried to remove some links and failed. I was able to remove most of the damaged links, so I’m not too concerned. However the link right next to the latch has a scratch and it cannot be removed. For the price, I’m not going to fret since that area is prone to scratching from wear anyway. Overall Impression: IT IS A BEAUTIFUL WATCH! I recommend this watch if you are like me and like to wear different watches with different outfits and want to keep within a budget. I went ahead and gave it a Five Star rating despite the lettering defects because the overall appearance is still eye-catching and the only one that will be looking at the face close enough to see the imperfections is me. 😊

Purchased almost 2 years now. Love the weight durability. I just wish I knew how to turn off the alarm. The alarm is set for 1:00pm and trust me, you will definitely know when it is 1:00 every day. But, it's definitely stylish and affordable.

Mar 2019: I wanted a watch with hands that I could see at night, looked great, and would not stop if I set it down for a day or two, unlike my Invicta Automatic. This large watch did not disappoint. I've had it for two weeks. It even came with a special tool to remove the bracelet pins, although I found it easier to remove them using the $7 link pin remover kit from Amazon. Setting time, both analog and digital, was easy. I cannot attest to the other electronic features because I haven't used them. The time is accurate, and the analog and electronic times track nicely. When setting the time, the second hand stops, so it's easy to synchronize the two modes. There is a 1/100 second small round dial that blinks all the time, and for which I can find no way to disable, nor what use it is from a practical standpoint. The instructions say it is waterproof to just a few meters, but it should not be submerged. Go figure! But it's supposed to be waterproof in the shower.. Anyway, it looks great, almost as nice as my Invicta Pro Diver, and keeps good time. July 2021 Update: It was a great watch until the battery died. I read it has 2 batteries: a 626 and a 2025. The digital time still works but the hands stopped. I have a 3-pin watch case opener, but I can't get the screw-on back to budge, even with a watch vise to keep the watch from turning. All I have for my efforts is a scratched watch back from the tool popping out of the notches. There must be a way to get the back to break free, but I haven't found it. So buy the watch knowing that when the battery dies, it may be just a nice-looking wristband. Lemons to the person who essentially told me to get the right tools for the job. I have all the right tools and know how to use them, but I couldn't get the back to budge. So I took it to a jeweler who almost broke his arm trying to get the back to unscrew. Then I asked "Is it possible that this is a pop-off back stamped to look like the more expensive screw-off back?" That's when the notch for the pop-off back was spotted. Problem solved. So the better answer to my quest would have been that this Golden Hour has a fake screw-on back, but it's really a pop-off.

I bought this watch due to the size. I wanted a big face dive style watch. The quality of this piece is absolutely stunning. It hasn't lost any time since I've had it. I've had no problems with the finish and it still looks as good as the day I received it. I get compliments on it everywhere I wear it. People can't believe it was only $28.00, I liked it so much I went and purchased the white faced one and that one shares the same quality as this one. I was so satisfied with these watches that I ultimately wound up buying yet another from this collection. I purchased the blue face watch with the stainless band. Again quality is amazing. Can't go wrong with one of these time pieces. I don't know how the gold banded or blue banded watches will hold up from frequent wear, but the 3 finishes I own have held up to pretty much daily use. I rotate mine out every day. I would highly recommend one of these to anyone looking for a big face dive style watch. I wish these were 100% waterproof. They list them as good for 10 meters, which would be great, but reading the literature they aren't supposed to be submerged, they are only water resistant to splashes, rain and hand washing. I haven't tried to take mine swimming or in the shower. I'd be curious to know if anyone has and what the outcome was.

DO NOT BUY THIS WATCH!! It is not stainless steel, will fall apart and will not be taken care of under its warranty. Mine not only started to show the copper that was under its chrome plating but just a couple months after buying it, I had two links break on it. Not the pins holding the links. The actual links themselves that are supposed to be "Stainless steel" broke where the pins slide through them. The holes were either drilled too close to the edge or it simply wore out in just 3 months of wear. I repaired those with the extra links I had from fitting it to my arm. 3 months later 2 more broke. Also the white numbers on the outside rim wore off too but they were basically pointless anyways. I tried to contact the company since it was still under warranty and not only was it a different person every email so nothing said was ever remembered meaning it was very repetitive and went absolutely nowhere! But they also wanted more money regardless. I just wanted a replacement band but they would only offer extra links for more money. Its a garbage watch and thats why its so cheap! DO NOT BUY IT!!!

I'm giving this three stars for functionality. It hasn't failed to keep time. But there are some things you should know. I do ranch work and construction. So I wanted a tough watch, but I wasn't going to spend $200. The feel of the watch is nice, it's heavy, feels nice to wear, and doesn't feel cheap. I chose black (BAD IDEA) it looks like cheap black gloss paint. It was covered in plastic to keep from getting scratches during shipping. So it didn't look nice for very long, and even turns my wrist black. The analog portion of the watch is the standard pull-out-twist knob, and worked fine. However the digital part has these big clunky buttons that constantly get pressed throughout the day just by the movement of my hand and wrist. Therefore the digital time, date, and alarm were never reliable for me. The pull-out-twist knob finally came off after about a year and a half, so the time has come for a new watch. Overall, I wont be buying this watch again, but it did serve its purpose.

great watch!
