I own some watches, I inherited and own some luxury watches and I recently had a bunch of casio's, this watch has the same chinese movement with most of the watches have, very loud, if you listen carefully without keeping watch close to your ears you can hear the ticking which i don't mind at all, I like that ticking, its not annoying loud, compared to other refined automatic watches, notably louder, the sound when it self winds and when you wind it yourself sounds definitely cheap, overall the watch is built well, chain is decent, looks great especially from an arm distance, well its a statement piece, made in China, like the original apple watch, but this one is a real mechanical watch, not a screen.
