This works only a short while - a day or two. You have to continuously apply.

It's a beautiful watch and works fine.  However some of the gold plating has rubbed off on the back links.  I wore it to work only one day and I can see where some of the links have little grayish marks.  This wasn't a cheap watch and I wouldn't have expected that.

Beautiful ring for a one or two time event. However, the gold plating rubbed off after only 3 days. I love the ring, it fits beautifully, but the very short lived plating was a disappointment.

I just got it yesterday. Wore it today for only about 3 hours. The gold color has already rubbed off. Super disappointed.

Out of the box, the umbrella looked really good until we put a white light up against it.  Upon closer inspection, you can see alot of faded gold areas where it looks like someone did a bad job with a can of spray paint (uneven coverage).  After 2 uses, the gold started to flake off.  There are now creases where you can clearly see that the gold has completely fell off.  It's almost useless now with all the missing/uneven gold.  The umbrella is also very sticky.  We open it slowly and cautiously to avoid damaging the gold surface, but it contiues to be sticky and it sheds gold with every use.

It is a very dainty and cute ring. I had really hoped that I would be able to wear this daily for more than one week. Unfortunately, after I wore it for a few days, the gold on the top of the prongs and on the bottom part of the band wore off. It is definitely noticeable and incredibly disappointing.

Next time I buy a ring for myself, I will be sure I splurge on one I know will last.

The band is much darker (rose tone I guess it's called) in real life.  I REALLY liked the appearance of the face though. The watch is stunning to look at, and during the whole 22 hours that it worked, it kept good time :-).  Unfortunately, the small gold leaf strip that indicates 1 o'clock fell off of the face and got caught up with the hour hand. This prevented the hand from rotating and the time wouldn't advance.

Bought this for a gift.  Person reported that after 2 days of wearing it, the pretty gold came off.
I knew it wasn't pure gold, but thought it would last for a while like other costume jewelry - not 2 days!
Disappointed......

First off this thing feels very good in your hands. It feels amazing swinging this thing around. HOWEVER I never actually got to do much with it. The only thing I actually hit with this thing was the box it came in. I then set it on my desk. Less than 12 hours later the rubber stopper that holds the guard on broke.

I guess I can find a way to keep the guard from flying off when I swing with duct tape or something but still. It broke in less than 1 day with extremely minimal use while sitting on a desk.

Mine stopped working once within the first 24 hours of use, and had to be reset. Therefore I'm sending it back

Two broke within 24 hours of delivery and with less than ten minutes of use. The guns were being used by teenagers in the course of executing a short play -- the guns were not used for water play.

Gold casing will get weathered and may break within 2-3 months.

i got this chain and it looked nice and was stamped 14k but was magnetic and gold fell off in less than 2 days.

I'm saddened by the fact the gold came off almost right away. I don't know if that effects the grace given by wearing the scapular.
Any suggestions? kjo7950@charter.net
