FORSINING Black Engraved Moon-and-Stars Skeleton Automatic Watch

The FORSINING 378A pairs an engraved case with an open-work dial and a moon-and-stars display, on a matching steel bracelet — a mechanical watch that makes no attempt to be subtle.

Why It Stands Out

• Automatic mechanical movement, wound by wrist motion rather than a battery.
• Open-work dial showing the gearing, with a moon-and-stars display worked into the layout.
• Engraved case sides rather than plain polished steel.
• Stainless steel case and matching bracelet, so nothing needs breaking in.
• Three finishes: Black, Silver, and Silver & Gold.

Fit and Wear

43.5 mm across and 15 mm thick, on a steel bracelet, means real weight on the wrist — this is a statement watch and it wears like one. Sized links let you get the bracelet sitting where you want it. The 30 m rating covers rain and a splash at the sink; take it off before anything more than that.

Colin's Take

This is not a subtle watch and you should not buy it hoping it will grow quieter. 43.5 mm across, 15 mm thick, engraved case sides, and the gearing on display through the front. What makes it worth the money is that the movement is a genuine automatic, so the open-work is showing you something real instead of a printed backdrop. Take the black if you want the engraving to read as texture rather than shine; take the Silver & Gold if being noticed is the point. Skip it if your wrist is on the smaller side, because 15 mm of thickness on a steel bracelet has nowhere to hide.
