I’ve used many automatic mechanical watches. Recently, I got my hands on the Titan Automatic Watch from Flipkart. Let’s unbox this premium timepiece together!

Premium Packaging
The watch arrives in Titan’s signature box pack. It’s a premium type of packing. Inside the box, you’ll find the booklet, registration card, and, of course, the watch itself.
First Impressions
Taking the watch out, I was immediately impressed. This timepiece is very interesting. I also have a Timex mechanical watch, which I bought from Flipkart for around Rs. 5,000 during the Big Billion Days sale.
Comparing Titan and Timex
Both watches have self-wind systems. However, there are notable differences.
Design Differences
- Titan’s Curved Glass: Unlike Timex’s flat glass, Titan features a curved glass.
- Premium Feel: The Titan watch looks and feels more premium.
- Slimmer Profile: Titan is slightly slimmer compared to Timex.
Pricing Details
The actual price of the Titan watch is around Rs. 18,000. However, I got it for an incredible price of around Rs. 9,000 on Flipkart. If you check, you might find it at a similar price.
Mechanical Excellence
When looking at the mechanical part, Titan’s finishing and detailing stand out. Titan is considered a better brand compared to Timex. Both watches are amazing, but Titan offers a more premium experience.
Features of the Titan Automatic Watch
- Stainless Steel Body: Durable and stylish.
- See-Through Back: You can see the mechanical parts moving.
- Genuine Leather Strap: Comes in black color.
- Skeleton Watch Design: The grayish dial offers a transparent design.
- Hack Mechanism: Allows you to set the time precisely.
- Self-Wind Mechanism: Winds itself as you move your hand.
Wearing the Watch
I wore it, and it looks very premium on the wrist. It’s not just a watch; it’s a statement piece.
Amazing Discounts
The watch is priced at Rs. 21,495 but is available at a 59% discount on Flipkart. I got it for only Rs. 8,679! That’s an unbelievable deal.
Additional Details
- Brass Bezel: Adds to the premium look.
- Water Resistance: Resistant to an extent, but not suitable for swimming.
- Warranty: Comes with a 2-year warranty.
Maintenance and Durability
Mechanical watches like this don’t need much maintenance. As long as it’s not physically damaged, it can work lifelong. It may require servicing based on your usage. Otherwise, there’s no need.
Japanese Movement
This Titan watch uses the Japanese Miyota 8N40 movement, known for its reliability.
Power Reserve
If you wear it for 8 hours, it has a reserve period of about 30-40 hours. So, it keeps running even when you’re not wearing it.
Accuracy
These watches are not pinpoint accurate but offer decent accuracy of +/- 45 seconds per day. In my experience, it shows +2 seconds ahead per day. Therefore, you might need to sync the time once a month.
Luminous Hands
Both the Titan and Timex watches come with luminous material on their minute and hour hands. They glow at night for a few hours after exposure to sunlight.
