This watch comes in a wooden box with a burlap gift bag so you can make it a gift without any effort. Inside the wooden box, the watch is encased in soft foam so it is safe during shipping. There is a wooden "warranty card" inside the box and a care and instruction booklet. If I were to say anything negative, it would be the instruction booklet. It is written with instructions for multiple watches but doesn't say which watch the instructions pertain to. Also, the print is very tiny and in a color that makes it difficult to read. Regardless, it is easy to figure out how to get this watch ticking. On the back of the watch you can see a solid piece that moves when the watch moves and rotates around the face. This is how the watch is wound. When you wear it, your movement winds the watch. No more remembering to plug it in or buy batteries - both activities that have resulted in many watches sitting in a drawer never to be worn again. The details on the watch are stunning. You can see the various gears turning as the watch runs. It's a solid, heavy watch. I have large wrists for a woman and I could wear the band on the tightest hole. My husband has very large wrists and was able to wear the watch comfortably. I think this one will escape the fate of all his other watches and be worn for years.

The first thing anyone notices about this watch is the visible movement and the assertive size. It is a big piece for certain. There's no doubt that you are wearing it, either, particularly if you don't regularly wear a wristwatch or if the one you typically wear is a quartz one.All mechanical watches weigh more than modern quartz timepieces do just because of the many moving parts and winding spring for a power source. Combine those items with an inertia weight which moves with your arm to keep the mainspring wound and they add up. On the other hand many people will choose a self-winding watch specifically because they want a heavy timepiece. This fits the bill in that regard, definitely. It is also thick and tactical in style with a leather-ish band with large buckle and canvas inserts for a retro military feel. You can't miss with this Survan automatic if you're after big tactical fashion.Now to the reason watches were invented - timekeeping, and how accurately this one does it. It is accurate to well within the accepted standards of mechanical watches as a whole. You can go online or to the library to study all the vagaries of standards by movement type but in short the ultimate in accuracy is a quartz movement. Next most accurate is a highly jeweled mechanical mechanism with the expensive magazine ads and prices starting in the thousands. Then come the automatic watches. Those highest-rated Swiss brands also make automatic watches for appropriately priced budgets and favored by professional pilots and divers but most of us neither need nor will ever buy one of those.Automatic watches are first wound up and then placed on the wrist where they then stay wound by one's daily activities. This black cased Survan watch has kept extremely good time to this point as I have done everything possible to assure it is fully wound and my daily use keeps it powered up. I should think if you do the same it will be accurate to a high degree.I have owned more watches than I could say and still have several of different qualities in rotation. I am pleased with the addition of this one to my assortment and am frankly astounded at the accuracy of this particular unit- which is far greater than it should be. If you are familiar with watches and understand the limitations of a mechanical movement but want the stylish elements of a skeletal piece you should be pleased with this one.

I recently got the 47mm Seagull Automatic Skeleton Watch and I couldn't be happier!The skeleton dial is an attractive mesmerizing feature, showcasing the intricate inner workings of the watch that are hand-assembled to perfection.The hardened mineral crystal lens not only adds durability but also keeps the watch looking flawless by resisting scratches.I love the reliability of the Seagull Automatic movement with analog display, ensuring accurate timekeeping wherever I go.The water resistance up to 50 meters provides peace of mind for daily wear and occasional splashes.The inclusion of a gift box, instructions, and a 3-Year International Warranty speaks volumes about the brand's commitment to customer satisfaction. Plus, knowing that I'm contributing to sustainability by using a self-winding watch powered by natural motion is a great bonus.Overall, I highly recommend this watch to anyone looking for a stylish timepiece that combines elegance with functionality.
