In this MVMT vs AliExpress comparison video, I put the $300 MVMT Arc automatic watch up against a $80 Cadisen to see which is the better value proposition. Is this MVMT Alibaba special worth buying?

Now that almost all of this stuff is made in China, most of it in the south of the Guangdong province by Hong Kong, you might as well just buy directly from China. The exception being watches actually made in Japan, Switzerland, Germany, etc. I think it's wise of you to buy direct from the manufacturer. Sapphire glass makes for a daily driver that will take a lot of casual scuffing as you wear it. I vote for the Cadisen.

What really blows my head off is how MVMT markers itself as selling you a watch at very fair price, cutting out the middleman. WTF.
I have a cadisen automatic mechanical on the way and am looking forward to receiving it. I have a number of Chinese watches that I bought off of AliExpress and I am happy with all of them.
Mineral at that price? Mvmt have some balls! Great review Ben 👍
I've bought a couple of cadisens from Ali express there always excellent value and quality for the price
I would love to see brands like Rotary or Sekonda reviewed. I always see them in a jelwellery shop window but rarely see them on KZread wristwatch channels.
Love the videos! What are you wearing on this video? It looks great

Great video, and great comparison video that I think will really help to inform! Keep it up!
Great video, Ben! Just FYI the scalloped texture on the movement in the MVMT is called "Geneva Stripes".
Hi,Ben. I'd go for the cadisen all day long. Same movement so really is a no brainer . Keep well my friend 😉😺
Another great review, may I ask what gloves you use?
They both look great. But I would take the Cadisen because it's got the better glass. I'd even spend the 45-60 on an 821A movement to fire into it to make it perfect, and still get a ~150 dollar discount. And at this point, I would even pay EXTRA money to avoid the MVMT logo.
Came for the thumbnails, stayed for the down-to-earth watch content.
Hey Ben! Nice vid, I was willing to ask you which brand is the polo you're actuallt wearing?
Currently considering to get that Cadisen, thanks for briefly information. Got my subscription 👍👍👍
Great review, as usual. The Cadisen gets my vote, especially the black hands.
If the Cadisen was at 36/38, with 50-100wr, that would be an amazing modern interpretation of a vintage inspired everyday watch

I'm wearing a Cadisen watch as I watch this video. Mine is a C5051M, which has an all Tungsten Carbide case and strap, with a sapphire crystal. This model has a quartz movement, so it's only 8mm thick. Between the tungsten and sapphire construction, this watch is super scratch resistant, an was an incredible bargain at only $30, from the Cadisen store on AliExpress. You really can't beat some of these Chinese, "mushroom brands" for value. Cadisen sells a number of interesting models, including one with a Miyota 9015 movement, for around $100, during one of the major sales on AliExpress.
Ben, you have a really good attitude and your videos are informative and fun to watch, so it pains me to see that you have so few subscribers. I would recommend you do a collaboration with some more prominent watch review channels like for instance Teddy Baldassarre, i think that would boost your views tremendously, because you certainly deserve it. Keep on the good work!
just ordered a grand seiko sbgx265, cant wait for it arrive!
Which watch do you wear on the video Ben?
I will say that while the mvmt version probably hit the international market first, the cadisen was probably around for longer, and was the base model used for mvmt to "design" their watch off of, which most likely uses the same case (of course with different finishing, which would esplain the slightly smaller dimensions, if it was further machined and made to be a matte finish) and the crystal being different, etc is all "standard" options for when a company approaches a chinese manufacturer to produce their products. They submit a design and the chinese company goes through their already established designs for a similar "skeleton" ot start on, OR, the company picks a preexisting design, then submits the changes they want, and the factory modifies their tooling to make the new product, and a minimum order is decided upon, payment is made, and they go to work. The Cadisen is the "base" watch that the factory used to make the mvmt watch from. This happens all the time with COUNTLESS products from guitars and drums to disposable razors. I know this because I have ran a business at one point where chinese manufacturing was a possibility, and that is exactly how they appraoched my needs. I said "I need this product made to these specs" and they said "oh great, we have 5 products that meet those basic specs, pick the one you like the best and tell us what changes you want made. We can change XX, YY, and ZZ, with no additional cost and can put whatever logo you want on the item. For an additional tooling fee we can change XXX, YYY, or ZZZ. Let us know what changes you would like made and we will quote you a lead time" That's why these watches are so similar, and its not because cadisen copied mvmt. Its because mvmt bought the manufacturing modifications to turn the cadisen that already existed into the mvmt. And this Cadisen may not have even had a name at the time mvmt bought the modifications and commisioned the factory to make the arc, AND, it could have also been released under countless different names prior to mvmt under different asian brands in the asian market. Who knows. But I do absolutely know that this is how chinese manufacturing works when it comes to making other company products. They will literally pull something directly out of their factories that they've already made with established tooling that meets the basic initial specs of the company's request, offer it, and make the appropriate changes in order to make it brand specific for the company ordering it. IN this way, most of the "work" is already done. In the subject of watches, for example, the basic case design is already done, the basic movement choice(s) have already been made and the case will readily accept them, the hands, dial ornaments, etc have already been nanufactured, etc etc, all that's left is MINOR things like the finish of the case and the final dimensions, the type of crystal, and what logo/name brand gets stamped on the thing. They can even retrofit a lot of watches that have already been manufactured, by shelling the movement out of them, retooling/refinishing the case to the new spec, and then screen printing the brand on the face and/or changing out the movements if necessary, as the case is already designed to accept a few different versions. So these mvmnts may not have even been "made to order" they may have been reworks of pallets and pallets of watches that had already been manufactured, and what we are seeing is the chinese factory selling the unaltered "overstock" with a different name screen printed on them to clear their warehouse space. Its hard to tell, but this stuff happens all day every day when it comes to commisioning china to make products. So whenever you see a REALLY similar item on something lke alibaba, its usually the "parent" item of the name brand that it so closely resembles. Just wanted to put this out there, because not many people know the inner workings of this kind of thing.
Talk about tacking, I ordered an item in the US, I'm in Switzerland. The package tracked from California, to New York before going back to California, Jamaica, Sydney Australia and stalled there for 2 months with the tracking. To the point where the insurance payed and an other one was sent that I received a month later. And, 2 months after that, so 5 1/2 months after the initial invoice, the first one arrives but still to this day tracks in Sydney.
Lmaoooo the Paul Pluta scene at the end was hilarious 😆🤣
I've been eying up that cadisen a little while Doesn't seem to be much put there regarding that particular model, good video mate, a brand that would be good for you to take a look at is festina. I've seen few very reasonably priced ones as of late
Funny that this (and many other KZread video's) start with a commercial from Vincero watches. And yes, they are using sentences like "Cutting out the middleman." Maybe interesting to check them out by one of your future video's.

The quality of the leather straps on AliExpress watches is surprisingly good sometimes. Like the Pagani Design "Cocktail time" I recently got for 30€. Only "genuine leather" but smelled like a good new leather shoe (not like plastic) and is comfortable. Heck, I don't know what brands like Mvmt put on their watches as even some "pleather" straps on ultra cheap Chinese watches don't fall apart like that.

I also love that they use a similar clasp to the true Submariner as opposed to the one they use on Invicta Pro Divers. Hope to maybe see a review on your channel one day for the Pagani Design one!

Hey man! any videos or idea on how some AliExpress automatic watches of "high quality" ( like $150-$200) are?? it would be interesting to see a review on them and have them opened and looked at inside.
love that Seiko you are wearing. I'm wearing it now quite by coincidence. Think it a was $89 US.
Somehow the Cadisen has better attention to detail. > The little chrome rings around the lume pips. > The winding stem > The finish of the case. (The MVMT is just bead-blasted. They just do that to hide sins.) > The finish of the hands > The little detail around the date window. Honestly I already have two Bambino's so the MVMT would just feel like a copy. The Cadisen looks more appealing.
I bought a Cadisen Diamond, about 67£ during the 10th anniversary sales for a miyota 9015 watch, hilarious, I bought it just out of curiosity, thinking I would have given it to my dad or a friend, as a gift. Well, I was so impressed that I kept it in my own collection, I would have never thought it but I do like (except for the strap). I bought it before Cadisen moved to the so called homages, I call it legalized fakes, I don't want to feed this kind of market, but I must admit the watch is beautiful and well made, chapeau.
Pleas do video on Vostok Classica. They seem to actually have hear blued screws. I would love to know is that true. They could be maybe bambino killers and good alternative to marlin and fassion watches
I love the "cut out the middleman" jab...
As an aside to this video, I think a lot of people, including watch collectors are really sleeping on soviet made mechanical watches. There’s tons of well made ones that look great and can be had for pretty cheap on ebay. I picked up a Raketa Big Zero not too long ago and I love it as a purely fashion watch.
I would have just went with the Cadisen C8173G. The design is quite similar if slightly more generic, the price is cheaper, it comes with an seiko nh35 instead of a miyota 8215 and its thinner at 12mm thick. The downside being that the case is bigger (42mm).
As long as people wear watches I don’t care much which one, thankfully we all have different tastes otherwise the world would be a boring place. Great video to educate people on watches and what they should look for when it comes to quality
Funny that I got Vincero advert on this video!
Once again a great and informative video, you really should check for Lobinni watch on Aliexpress, you would be impressed by the quality and specs (to me they are one of the only brand/factory which do a true QC before shipping you the product)
I know the purpose of the video is to compare two similar looking watches, but for around 100£ you could get a cadisen with a miyota 9 series movement on aliexpress. Which is quite a diference from a 8 series. Way thinner with a high beat and a smaller case. Also there is now quite a lot of aliexpress brands with that case shape and movement. I've got one from a brand called carnival with a gold case and a very nice blue dial. I actualy got quite curious when I saw the mvmt watch a while ago and wondered what the differences between the two might be. I finally got my answer.
I always felt those MVMT guys on their commercials seemed like frat boy Bros who came up with a marketing idea. No buy from me. Thanks for confirming.
I can't believe I'm saying this about a MVMT watch, but I think it goes on the low end of cool. I think it's a big step up for them. I like the case a lot. It's attractive. I like the way the strap looks, although it may go quickly. I don't like the mineral crystal, and I don't like the price. I wouldn't personally buy one, but it's a big improvement for them. I think the Cadisen goes on the high end of cool. It looks much the same, although I don't like the shiny finish as much, but it more than makes up for it with an excellent price and sapphire crystal. (My rule these days is, if a watch costs more than $50, it *must* have sapphire crystal and *must* be automatic. The Cadisen has both.)
Whilst I love the diameter of the Arc, but in my opinion the Cadisen one is the rational watch to buy. Why paid £200 more to downgrade to mineral crystal and only paid for the brand only? The Arc isn't a bad watch also, but the price and the spec are really insulting. Cadisen is ice cold MVMT, well, uncool.

That Cadison is the bomb! (And nicer than the MVMT). If the second hand were a touch longer it would be spot on.
The newer casidens are using 9015s. Top end miyota apart from the unidirectional rotor a lot of watch pros say it's on par or better than a ETA 2428-2. $100 for the movement itself... I paid $136 for one with sapphire.
The Cadisen has now doubled in value due to demand (I guess?), which STILL makes it half the cost of the MVMT. Which is hilarious.
What’s the watch on the wrist?
Anyone know how to change the strap for the cadisen? I don't see any quick release pins or holes to push pins out at all
Can you swap the movements between the cases?
The movement logo on the crown looks like HSBC...
10:19 what do you think about the revolver? that is imo the most original design
Jody Musgrove over on Just One More Watch has reviewed quite a few Casdisens, and overall tends to like them.
To add to this comparison, you should definitely look at Xiaomi Youpin automatic watch with the same miyota 821A movement, but sapphire at front and a slightly different face. It's also less than 100$! Nice video! 👍
Whar's watch are you wearing?looks cool
While I agree that you have given a fair appraisal of these watches you must also consider that homages of Seiko watches with the exact same Seiko movement (NH35a) inside are also just as cheap on AliX eg Seiko Cocktail time £349 vs Pagani Cocktail homage £49 - seek and ye shall find...
Which one is which ? I see two of the same thing
does anyone knows where i can find this cadisen today? haven't found in ali :(
I recently discovered chinese micro brand watches and I have to say for the price they are amazing. I just to want MVMT watch but many people said they are horrible which ultimately led me to discovered brands like steeldive, starking, alpha etc.
