Tourbillon or not?

I found some watches on Amazon which says that these watches are "tourbillon". I was just wondering if the feature works like those on high end mechanical pieces. Thanks guys, these are the links:

Not having had one of these watches before I don't know how they go.

But generally one gets what one pays for and a $500 is not comparable to a $35,000 watch.

There are some cheap tourbillons around which are haute horology movements, very intricate, but if they need repair, it might be quite a costly exercise.
