Luxury Open Watch Review: A $109 Skeleton-Dial Watch on a To My Husband Card

Our verdict

Yes, if you want a showy gift watch and can confirm the details first. The Luxury Open Watch has an openwork dial that shows its gears beneath Roman numerals, a black leather strap and a romantic "To My Husband" card, and at $109 it undercuts similar message-card openwork watches we saw listed at about $112 to $150. But the page names no movement, size or materials, water resistance is a $19 add-on, and the mahogany box in the photo costs $24 more. The Luxury Open Watch scores 3.6 out of 10, held back by missing specs and add-ons.

The short version

• What it is: an openwork (skeleton) dial watch on a leather strap with a "To My Husband" card.
• Price: $109 on 6 October 2026, or $152 with water resistance and the photographed box.
• Best trait: a striking visible-gear dial at a lower price than similar gift listings.
• Biggest drawback: no movement or specs, and paid extras the photo implies are included.
• Our score: 3.6 out of 10.

Pros & cons

The pros cover style, presentation and price against similar listings. The cons cover what the page leaves out and charges for.

How it works

An openwork watch has cut-away sections in the dial so you can see the gears and balance wheel moving underneath. Similar listings describe an automatic movement, which winds itself from the motion of your wrist and needs no battery. The card reads: "When I tell you I love you, I don't say it out of habit. I say it to remind you that you are the best thing that has ever happened to me. No matter where you are, a part of me will always be with you." It is signed "Love, Your Wife".

1. 01

   Choose the extras

   Step 1: Decide on the $19 water resistance upgrade and the $24 mahogany-style box before checkout.

2. 02

   Wind or wear it

   Step 2: If it is an automatic, as similar listings describe, wearing it winds it; a few turns of the crown gets it started.

3. 03

   Give it with the card

   Step 3: The navy card reads To My Husband and is signed Love, Your Wife.

Is the Luxury Open Watch automatic, and can it get wet?

The page answers neither question. Similar "To My Husband" openwork watches listed elsewhere are described as automatic. Water resistance is sold as a $19 add-on with no rating, and its image is a blue and gold dive watch rather than this one. With a leather strap and an open dial, keep it away from water whatever you buy.

What water ratings mean

Timex's guide to water resistance ratings lists 30 m (3 ATM) as suitable for splashes, rain and hand-washing, 50 m for surface swimming and light showering, and 100 m for swimming.

What to do: ask the seller what rating the upgrade gives, and take the watch off for washing up, showers and swimming.

Automatic movements

Automatics run as long as they are worn and stop after a day or two off the wrist. Accuracy varies more than with quartz; a few seconds a day is common for inexpensive automatics.

Leather straps

Water and sweat age leather quickly. A spare strap is cheap to fit.

How much does the Luxury Open Watch cost, and which add-ons matter?

On 6 October 2026, the watch cost $109, with water resistance for $19, extra polishing for $9, a luxury mahogany box for $24 and a 3-year warranty for $14. As photographed, in the mahogany box, plus water resistance, it comes to $152. In search results the same day, similar message-card men's openwork automatic watches showed $149.95, one on sale for $112.46.

Luxury Open Watch price and add-ons

Prices are in US dollars as listed on 6 October 2026. There are no multi-packs. You can check today's price on the Luxury Open Watch order page (opens G Com Pte Ltd in a new tab).

Water resistance

For $19, "chronograph water resistance" with no rating, shown with a different watch.

Luxury mahogany box

For $24, the glossy box shown in every photo. Ask what the standard box looks like.

Extra polish

For $9, "hand detail polishing service for a grand sparkle". A new watch should already be finished; we would skip it.

The order page names G Com Pte Ltd at 137 Market Street in Singapore, with the email support@g63com.com and a phone number. The footer gives the country as Hong Kong. The page code says charges appear on your card statement as panameedia.

Is the Luxury Open Watch better than other openwork gift watches or a branded automatic?

On price, it compares well with similar gift listings; on proof, a branded automatic wins. The similar message-card openwork watches we saw were $112.46 to $149.95. Branded entry-level automatics publish movement, size and water rating and come with a maker's warranty, which this page cannot match.

Choose this offer if

You want this card, prefer the lower price, and support confirms the movement and case colour.

Choose a branded automatic if

You want known specs, a reliable movement and a maker's warranty. That is where a rival wins.

How did we score the Luxury Open Watch?

The Luxury Open Watch scores 3.6 out of 10: claim accuracy 0.5, build durability 0.7, price competitiveness 0.8, usability 1.2 and owner satisfaction 0.4, each out of 2. It is a striking gift watch priced below similar listings. The score falls on no movement or specs, water resistance sold extra with a different watch pictured, a photographed box that costs more and unclear case colour.

How the score breaks down

We use the five criteria on our how we test page, each out of 2.

What owners say

We found no Trustpilot profile for the gadgetxaura.com store and no retailer reviews for this listing. Buyers of message-card openwork watches elsewhere often praise the look and presentation, and complain about watches that stop when not worn, gaining or losing time, and stiff new straps.

What we did, and did not, do

Nobody on our team has handled this watch. We read the offer page our link opens and its page code on 6 October 2026, along with Timex's water resistance guide, listings for similar watches and the pages that rank for it. The refund and returns terms are as we recorded them from the site's terms page on 4 October 2026.

How to use and care for the Luxury Open Watch

If it is automatic, wear it daily or give the crown a few dozen turns when it stops, then set the time. Keep it dry, away from strong magnets such as speakers and phone cases, and store it in its box. Give the leather strap a rest now and then so it dries out.

1. Wind it if it stops. About 20 to 30 crown turns.
2. Set the time after winding. Pull the crown out gently.
3. Wear it daily. Automatics need motion.
4. Avoid water. Showers, washing up and pools.
5. Keep it from magnets. Speakers and magnetic clasps.
6. Store in the box. Dial up, away from keys.
7. Rest the strap. Let leather dry between wears.

Accuracy

Automatics drift a little. Reset the time weekly if needed.

Servicing

A watch shop can regulate an automatic that runs too fast or slow.

What else do people ask about skeleton watches?

Most questions are about batteries, winders and accuracy. True automatics have no battery, a winder keeps them running between wears, and some drift is normal. Browse our apparel and accessory reviews for more.

Does it have a battery?

Not if it is automatic, which the page does not confirm.

Do I need a watch winder?

Only if it sits unworn for days and you dislike resetting it.

Is it heavy?

The page gives no weight.

Can the strap be changed?

Most leather-strap watches take standard spring-bar straps; ask for the lug width.
