How hard is it to remove the links on one of these watches in order to adjust it to your wrist size?

It looks like all the face diameters are off by a factor of 10. Either that, or these are really small watches.

Aw man that made me laugh. 3.5 mm watches from the waffleiron.

Level Orange, or if you're on the newest system of difficulty rating, Off white.

Sorry! I use my cell phone as a watch!

I noticed that too. A 3.3mm watch face would be interesting though...

the kc 3842 is 148.00 at amazon.com

Are they self winding or battery?

What happened to simple watches designed to tell you the time only. Who needs multiple dials and added gizmos that only make it harder to read the hands on the watch and tell what time it is. Everyone I know who has a watch like these has to angle it back and forth just to see where the hands are to tell what time it is.

Well, two have leather bands, so that is not an issue. The ones with metal bands are a pain in the but to remove. You need a sharp item to press out a pin that holds the bands together, which is VERY tightly pressed into place. Not all links let you remove the pin. Then you eliminate the links you do not need, and then hammer the pin back in place. It can be done, but it is not easy, and you can damage the band.

That said, typically these bands allow you some adjustment on the metal clasp. You can move where the band attaches to add or remove some size, about an inch, to make it tighter. That is fairly simple.

The Only "Automatic" watch is Kenneth Cole KC3797 and it is Ugly enough for me to pass on. I assume they will hit Sellout soon like the last batch of Watches. I do like KC1488 and KC3842 though, I wish they were more gear based.

3842 is $148 at amazon through Digital Wrist...

3769 is 105 at amazon through WatchZone.

3797 is 136.89 or more through various sellers at amazon.

I haven't checked the rest... but I would assume all are over $100.

Great deal woot!

is water resistant the same as water proof? i mean can I go swimming with these?

Q1 Does anyone even wear watches anymore ?

Q2 Does Woot actually sell any of these ugly things ?

NO!!!! Water proof can go under water. Water resistant means it will be OK in the rain.

Checked the Kenneth Cole web site, and I didn't find ANY of the watch numbers there at all. Could be they are discontinued items. Good woot! I mean Good Luck.

KC watches are complete junk. I bought one once from K&G men's super store in texas. Within the first week, I had a large scratch on the face of the watch.

For comparison, I now wear either a $500 diamond Calvin Klein watch or a cheapo $12 pulsar watch that i bought at walmart. Have had both for well over a year... not a scratch on either one... and i'm not particularly careful with either.

Kenneth Cole watches = complete hernia

I have one pair of their pants... better quality then the watch.

I was just about to post that link, haha. Very nice.

In any event I just wooted one of these for my husband, who has been looking for a nice watch. Great birthday present to stash away.

There are 2 reviews on it on Amazon, both 5 stars. At less than half price, can't go wrong.

I've never been impressed by ANY thing by Kenneth Cole, including these. I'll stick with my Citizen.

i was actually hoping for a good watch deal, of course once it dies it will be added to the rest of my dead watch collection because i can't find a place under $15 dollars that wants to change the batteries, when you have 5 or 6 dead watches it adds up lol

Yes you can. You can believe those are two random reviews and not Kevin and his brother rating their own watches!

No calculator = No sale.

Froogled.

Looks like a good deal all around.

Any watch store/jeweler that sells watches has a tool to do it easily. By hand you might need 3 hands. I went to a fossil store and had some links removed, they did it for free in a few seconds but I had a fossil watch. If they charge for it it couldn't be more than a couple of bucks.

I can speak from personal experience on the Kenneth Cole watches. I had one that the battery went dead in so i took it to a mall jewler...anywho they bent the hernia out of the innards when they tried to put the back back on so since then it hadn't worked. It got stored for about 3 years before I found it again and took to Younkers to get a new battery. They saw it wasn't working...sent it in...replaced the battery and everything. Cost me zero and runs like a charm.

Their lifetime warranty is nice. Worth the money if you like the style.

Kenneth Cole KC3797 Features:

Kinetic powered, makes use of the motion of the wearer’s arm turning a rotating weight, which turns a generator to supply power to charge a rechargeable battery that runs the watch.


See this is ideal because Automatic/Self winding Watches are never precise so the battery maintains that, however it appears this watch still isn't precise.

Which one would be best to help me with ladies?

robegarc wrote:Which one would be best to help me with ladies?

Honestly, none. You don't want the kind of lady impressed by a watch like any of these.

According to Amazon one of the features of the automatic 3797 is "Error 42".
Got one.

Q2 Does Woot actually sell any of these ugly things ?

Q1: Why...YES!!!! They are the perfect accessory and it is a lot easier to look at the time on your hand then pull out the cell phone (a lot more shuttle too). They aren't used a merely a Time Keeper, but there are a lot of outdoor watches with HUGE functionality. However these are dress watches, meant to look nice.

Q2: The last time they sold watches they went to sellout later at a cheaper price, so probably not. Also Kenneth Coles are Meh watches. My Favorite brands are (note no Rolex)....

Movado
Citizen
Omega
Tag Heuer

Franck Muller (Dream Watch)

I only wear Kenneth Cole watches because they're good looking time pieces at a fair market price. I also know that a lot of people do not like them. I don't like to pay retail on anything but I'm a sucker for a nice watch! This is a good price drop from the usual macys $115 I just wish they had different color/band options

uberporsche wrote:Q1 Does anyone even wear watches anymore ?

Having the time on your wrist is simply more convenient than having to dig into your pocket and pull out a phone to look at the time. Plus you look a lot less silly glancing at a watch!

There is a reason after all that the wrist watch replaced the pocket watch.

BIMART will install it FREE, battery cost $5.

I've had Kenneth Cole watches a couple of times now and I really like them. If I had the coin right now I'd be in for one if not two. And yes they are easy to take links out. At least mine was.
