OLEVS Luxury Watches for Men Big Face Stainless Steel Business Dress Analog Quartz Watch with Day Waterproof Luminous Mens Wrist Watch

My 40 year old Sako watches are developing problems, so I was looking for something else for every-day wear - something that would cost significantly less than getting the old Sakos repaired. This seems to fit the requirement. LOTS of options on styles and looks, all just skins on basically the identical quartz watch as far as I can tell. At first glance, this one seems pretty impressive.I did not want any digital display of any type, just a real watch. But I also wanted at least a date, and ideally a rotating bezel that could mark basic elapsed time. Again, I was able to find the right match with all the options I saw available. There seems to be several price ranges for these Olevs watches, but nothing to tell me how they differ, if at all. If the manufacturer chooses to not be specific about the differences, I am assuming the more expensive ones are the exact same watches that are only intended to sucker buyers that feel better about not buying the cheapest ones? I wouldn't trust the watch for being water resistant in any way (neither the crown nor the back screw down), but otherwise it seems like a decent choice.Now for some specifics - I am a big guy - not particularly fat - but big enough that many watches with a standard leather band are just barely big enough to fit me. This watch with the stainless band is plenty big - in fact I had to remove two links. And they do include the tool needed to do this - just be careful how you use it. Many other reviewers have complained about how flimsy that tool is and how easy it is to break the pins, but I found that they mostly just did not understand what they were doing - if you are careful, it works just fine.Here's the deal, the links in the watch band are not precision machined inside, so the links do have some natural slop and flex in how they move around the pins. And the pins seems to mostly be just the tiniest bit too short to fully go from one side of the link to the other. This in no way affects the look or feel of the watch band, but it DOES make it easy to screw up when you try to remove a link. The little tool they give you does not have any mechanism to hold the band fixed in place, so as you begin to turn in the punch to remove a pin, the band will naturally flex up a bit over the base of the tool, and this allows the pin inside the link to move slightly out of alignment with the hole in the link.And that is the problem.If you let the band rise up as you screw in the tool, that tip of the punch on the tool can slip off the face of the pin inside the link and go into the hole at an angle, causing it to bend or break. The problem is very simply remedied by just holding the band down with your thumb!Once I recognized this issue, any pin in the band (except one) was very easy tor remove without damaging anything. That single exception was stuck in place hard enough, and had enough slop in the pin fit, that I just never could get the tool to stay in place. So I simply went to a different link.

The timepiece itself is use of decent quality and is perfectly acceptable for everyday use. I'm pretty rough on my watches and this watch fits the bill as I go about my daily routine. It keeps good time and has a good looking face. It seems many have trouble with the watch band sizing. The arrows on the inside of the watch band show the direction the pins should be pushed out. The pins stick out ever so slightly on one side or the other of the watch band giving the band a rough feel. I used a soft nail file and polished the pins smooth. The watch band feels much better afterwards. I would buy it again and recommend the watch to anyone looking for a cheap timepiece.

For the price, it's a nice knock off. Don't take the band off though, it's a pain in rear to get back on.....also case scratches very easily, even with things like plastic it seems to lose it's plating. I got it as more of a joke piece to put in a display case with my Rolex and Grand Seikos so when people see it they can give me a side eye....

The watch looks good, keeps accurate time (so far), and is very reasonably priced. I took some links out of the bracelet for a better fit - if you have the right tools (bought mine on Amazon) and a steady hand this is not difficult - if you don't have the tools and haven't done it before, you may find it frustrating. The tool provided with the watch didn't work well for me. This watch is much lighter than my old one which is a real plus for me. Ask me again in a year and I'll give you a better idea of its performance.

Not inexpensive, CHEAP! I bought three of these thinking they would make good gifts for my grandsons. They are poorly made and poorly assembled. They each had a different number of links in the bands, the plastic around the bands was nearly impossible to get off, they are a nightmare to set the day/date so that function is useless.

I bought this watch three years ago, and it’s still going strong. I wear it every day for work—I’m a delivery driver, so my hands are constantly in motion. Despite that, this watch has held up incredibly well. People always assume it’s a high-end timepiece worth over $1,000, and their reactions are priceless when I tell them it costs less than $40.

I’ve worn the OLEVS Men’s Watch for one day, and so far, it seems like an okay choice for an everyday watch that I don’t need to baby due to its low price. I set the time upon receiving it yesterday, but the date didn’t update this morning—possibly user error, so I’ll monitor that.The watch definitely feels lightweight and cheap. The clasp had a pin pop out already, which I thankfully snapped back in, but losing that tiny spring-loaded pin could’ve been an issue. For the price, you get what you pay for: a clanky, budget-friendly watch that hopefully keeps time well. I’ll update later on its durability and accuracy.

I bought the Olev's that looks like the Rolex Submariner and it is spectacular. It looked so nice and was so inexpensive that I was hesitating. But it's spectacular. GREAT bargain for the money. I love that they give you the resize link tool with the watch too. VERY convenient. Exceptional! I will likely buy a few more. Very satisfied. :)
