OK, I seen enough bad descriptions of watches on shopnbc. But, Overstock.com has their fair share too. If you read the description of this Invicta mechanical HAND WIND watch, you will see it is listed as an 18 jewel automatic. Now scroll down and read the very first customer review of the watch. The fact that Overstock printed the review is even scarier. IT'S A HAND WOUND WATCH for crying out loud!! :X

FWIW, I couldn't help myself. I had to write a review and explain that the watch is a mechanical movement. I'll wait and see if Overstock posts it.

the 18 jewels is correct. the automatic part is not. That is why the poor customer wrote:

"I could not get the watch to work automatically. I move it back and forth for over 1/2 half to get the watch working. 30 seconds after I stopped the watch stopped too."

Now obviously if he knew ANYTHING about watches, he would have seen there was no rotor sometime in that 1/2 hour he was swinging the watch back and forth and got a clue.
