Four honest starting points. Every watch lists its movement, case size and water resistance, so you can check the detail before you commit.

We started Teemcw because good watches were either priced for collectors or built to be replaced in a year. Our answer: proven movements, solid steel cases, sapphire crystals and quick-release straps — at a price that makes sense for a watch you actually wear.
Winding, magnets, straps, batteries, cleaning and service intervals — the few habits that make the difference between a watch that lasts and one that…
Where the money goes at this price, what you genuinely do not get compared with a $3,000 watch, and the realistic accuracy to expect.
A plain-language version of the warranty: what is covered, the exclusions we will actually enforce, and what happens when you make a claim.
There is no better or worse here, only what fits your day. This is the honest version, including the parts that annoy people.
Wound by the motion of your wrist
Powered by a battery and a crystal
Measure around your wrist bone with a tape or a strip of paper, then read across. If you are between sizes, the smaller one almost always wears better.
Smaller wrists. A 40 mm case will overhang.
The most common range, and where most of our stock sits.
Divers and chronographs look proportionate here.
Larger cases, though a 40 mm dress watch still works.
Case diameter, thickness and band width are listed on every product page under Specifications. Browse all watches
Teemcw is run by a handful of people who like watches and dislike the way most of them are sold. We keep the catalogue small enough that someone here has handled every model on it.
When you email us you reach a person, usually within one business day, and they can tell you how a 40 mm case actually sits on a 17 cm wrist. If a watch is not right for you, we will say so.
We would rather lose a sale than sell you a 42 mm diver for a wrist it will swamp. Tell us what you are after and we will point you at the right case size, even if it costs less.The Teemcw teamSeattle, Washington
Card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Shipping and sales tax are shown in full before you pay, never added later.
The movement is regulated, the case is pressure-tested to its rated depth and the time is set.
Dispatch within 1–2 business days from Seattle. Tracking reaches you the same evening.
30 days to send it back unworn for a full refund, and 24 months of warranty after that.
Pull the crown out fully, set the time, push it back. On automatics, avoid changing the date between 9 PM and 3 AM — the gears are engaged.
An automatic needs roughly eight hours of wear a day. If it stops, give the crown 20–30 gentle turns and set it again.
Never touch the crown or pushers while wet. Hot showers and saunas age the gaskets faster than swimming does.
Leather hates water and sweat — rotate straps if you wear one daily. Steel just needs warm water, mild soap and a soft brush.

Around 25 seconds a day either way is normal for a mechanical movement, and it stops if you leave it off the wrist for two days. If that bothers you, buy quartz — it holds about 15 seconds a month.
30 m means splashes only. 50 m covers washing your hands. 100 m is fine for swimming and 200 m for diving. Never move the crown or pushers under water.
Send it back within 30 days unworn and boxed for a full refund. Try it on over a sleeve until you are sure, because worn watches may carry a restocking deduction.
Dispatch takes 1–2 business days, then 3–7 business days Standard or 2–3 Expedited. Standard is free over $75 and every parcel is insured.
Not yet. We ship within the United States only, including Alaska, Hawaii and US territories.
24 months on movement and workmanship. We send a prepaid insured label, repair or replace, and refund in full if we cannot. Normal scratches and dead batteries after 12 months are not covered.
