The Forsining skeleton automatic is a mechanical dress watch with an open dial that shows the gears turning on both the front and the exhibition case back. It is a true automatic, meaning the motion of your wrist winds the mainspring, so there is no battery to ever replace. It pairs a stainless case with a leather strap and runs the kind of steampunk skeleton look that usually costs several times more from a name brand. At this price it reads as a starter mechanical watch for someone who wants the moving-gear aesthetic without a luxury budget. Best for: first-time mechanical-watch buyers, gift-givers, and anyone who likes a dressy open-heart dial they never have to swap a battery in.

Frequently asked questions
Does it need a battery?
No. It is a mechanical automatic watch that winds itself from the motion of your wrist, so there is no battery to replace. If you set it down for a day or two, give it a few manual winds to restart it.
Is it actually automatic or just skeleton-styled quartz?
It is a genuine automatic with a self-winding mechanical movement you can watch turning through the open dial and the clear case back.
How accurate is it day to day?
Like most affordable automatics, it runs within a number of seconds per day rather than quartz-perfect. Daily wear keeps it wound and running.
Can the leather strap be swapped?
Yes, it uses a standard spring-bar strap, so you can change it for another leather or metal band of the same lug width.
