I’m usually not keen on Chinese watches but there was 1 I couldn’t ignore; the Seagull 1963. A little bit difficult to get a hold off, especially if you want a “legitimate” one as eBay and even Amazon has knockoffs of it but worth it if you can. It’s not cheap, even used but it looks great with the gold tone dial and a good leather strap. Feels solid too. A good watch is a good watch, no matter where it came from and the 1963 is a good one.

I’ve got a pagani chronograph with a Seiko meca quartz movement that doesn’t look too dissimilar, also about £25. Changed the crappy strap for one that cost about the same as the watch and it looks half decent....

You opened me the gates for a new world, I've found so many Chinese brands online who sell good looking watches at a relatively low price (max 80€). I've Googled a bit, and on reddit I found out that for their price, they're at least on par with other similar price watches.

I bought a Cadisen and a Starking dress watch - both for around €45 - both cane with sapphire crystal, 50m WR, solid links and end links, a high beat movement similar to a Miyota and a Seiko n36 - both have hacking and hand winding. The Cadisen also cane with resizing tools and an added leather strap (okay-ish quality) and both have exhibition casebavks. They’ve both kept amazing time - specially the Cadisen at around a second a day +/-. I would not hesitate to buy from either company again!

Can you do a video review about the Camden watches?

You should check out the Starking AM0184.

hi ! new here ! love the vids so far. possible if you could check out the minimalist style from aries gold some time too ! rock on

I bought a watch branded "Sewor". Automatic submariner style. Did not expect much for £13.80 delivered. I have had it now for 5 years, and it is still working - and seems accurate to better than +/- 10 sec per day. Seriously impressed with it. It looks nice enough for a daily watch, it's accurate, it's mechanical / automatic and after 5 years of use I think I can call it reliable too. If it stopped today, I would definitely have had more than my money's worth. I have a funny feeling it will keep on going though.

It ran fast but I regulated it to within a few seconds and removed the rotor because it didn't actually wind the spring so handwind. To be fair its not a bad looking subbie homage albeit with a white dial and has had several comments when worn from time to time!

Can I have the reference of the seiko 5 at 6:50?

I bought one. It was a bit slow but not a dealbreaker for a mechanical watch. It was an automatic but was very poorly built so didn’t self wind often. Again, not a deal breaker. The E6B was out of alignment and the surface finish was cheap, but the crystal took a beating (I bought it as a work watch). But the crown broke off. Now it was useless because while I could shake it to eventually wind it up, I could not correct the slow drift of time. Good thing it was only $5 I went with a Torgoen.

I've bought a few watches from Gearbest - cheap and cheerful and a bit of fun. I have the Tevise automatic dive watch - which cost about $18 - it's no Rolex (haha) but it works ok and keeps decent time. I've also bought a few Naviforce quartz watches - they are a bit on the large side, but wear well and are decent quality considering they cost about $10! The straps are not real leather, but a $2 silicon strap transforms them!

Tiffany Josephine to answer your question, the Calvin Klein and Fossils are what are known as fashion watches. Typically they’re quartz movements that are cheap to make and you typically pay for the brand name. They aren’t great value for money usually. Plus you typically pay quite a bit for what you get, which isn’t much. Usually they’re the cheapest watch produced in China with a designer label. Swatch is different though, they’re Swiss watches and they have a ton of different designs and have a ton of horological history, don’t have any experience with them personally but many people love them. I personally am a fan of Seiko’s, good value for money, reliable as a Toyota, have an impressive history behind and a good Seiko would cost less then a Calvin Klein watch. Also like Casios for a working watch that can take punishment.

Can anyone recommend me a good mechanical automatic? (preferably with a winding feature) I currently have a Fossil Grant with a Sea-Gull TY2723 movement (from the information i've been able to find, it was pretty obscure). It's kind of meh. It runs about 1 minute per day too fast at full wind, and about a minute per day too slow as the wind run low (if it's about to run out, it crawls to a halt, understandably). It's not the end of the world. I usually set it to be 5 minutes behind true time, and re-adjust it once a week. But I was looking for something a bit more "standard" like 20 seconds per day, or around there. Preferable shower proof, even though I do take my watch off in the shower. But just to be safe. I'd also like a skeltonized appearance, as for me, the main focus of a mechanical watch is to appreciate all the little tiny components, so I like to be able to see them. Other preferences: metal wrist band (i've never liked any leather i've tried) and a sapphire crystal would be nice.

What you found here is that you can get products equivalent to $200 fashion watches for $20 from these Chinese sites, which is notable. At that price point, though, especially if you’re looking at chronographs, expecting anything beyond basically junk is sort of expecting a miracle. I think the more useful comparison is looking at what you can get for the same $200 you’d spend on the fashion watches. That’s where these Chinese sites really shine, because for $150 to $200 you can get watches that blow MVMT and the like completely out of the water.

Like everything that comes really cheap, the basics are there what's missing is the quality control: You can get a good one, or you can get a poor one that doesn't work. You can only judge by buying lots.

A $20 Tevise or Winner auto is 100% worth it. Its a no brainer. Getting an actual mechanical watch for that price is amazing especially if you are new to mechanical watches even if it lasts 2 months and Ive had some thats pushing 2 years zero issues. Then moving up to actual quality automatic Chinese watches like Cadisen or Carnival; $50ish (which is still mind boggling cheap and impressive) are definitely worth it and you hit $75 brands and you have an actual genuine quality watch.

There is a difference from Paul Rich to Cadisen(3:28 to 3:34), inner wall of Paul Rich is stainless steel, on Cadisen it is plastic. After a day or two, you can notice it, but all sellers hide this very well. Cheap watch sellers often post pictures of their watch photoshopped.

There are some good ones out there

The real problem is how to separate the wheat from the chaff- there are so many ‘brands’ ,many items are rebranded generic designs, there can be substantial price variance for the same watch. You should check out alibaba and see the wholesale prices, it’s amazing- and they can apply any logo you want(cough, ahem...Rolex).It could be a very expensive process of trial and error to get through all this not to mention the outright false advertising. Even if review recommendations are followed, they are only contemporary opinions and don’t necessarily reflect long term ownership. But I find I can easily fall through a rabbit-hole and spend ages scrolling through the watch selection on aliexpress. But if they get it right , and honour the claims about movement,sapphire,316l stainless etc you have to question why the ‘premium’ brands are as expensive as they are, notwithstanding brand/heritage markup.

I bought a Lige watch from AliExpress. It is a mechanical watch with day, date, sun/moon, and GMT complication. It has a stainless steel clasp and a "sapphire" crystal for 35 USD. Have a look.

That 2nd watch is made by the Wei Li Company. Lovely.

I bought a couple of super cheap Chinese watches on Amazon recently (I'm not a luxury sort of person). One was basically a DW clone for $8 and it's fine. Quartz movements are quartz movements and it's not loud. I like the cloth strap. The next one was skeletonized automatic mechanical for $30. It's a version of the Chinese Standard Movement they've been making since the 1971. It's quiet, and surprisingly, it has only lost an average of 2.7 seconds per day. The metal band looks great. The problem with it is that the movement wasn't centered in the case by a millimeter or so. I had to open it up and use bits of an appropriate material (the edges of a clear band-aid) on the plastic insert to center the movement. I think if you order this on Ali Express it's probably half the price. I think it's kind of cool that mechanical watches are cheap and expensive. Think of this as a Communist's Rolex. It's as accurate and the design goes back to '71.

Robbie Pulsar is an entry level Seiko, that’s a pretty good bargain.

Did you get these from a wholesaler? I don't think they're £20-£30 if you're buying from a reseller in the wild. I've only seen these in the range of £80-£100.

Seagull watches are good. Decent build and affordable.

I have 3 Sea-gull automatic mechanical watches, all with genuine sapphire chrystals, handwindable and extremely well made. You should do reviews of them. The best is the Seagull flying wheel retrograde day date which is the most accurate mechanical watch I own. It runs like a quartz, within 2 seconds per day. Also, the Seagull Ocean Star 200m diver with it's high beat 28800bph movement is a great watch under £300.

Seagull watches are bona fide good- excellent mechanical watches and good value too! Any watch maker capable of making tourbillon movement like Seagull deserves respect! Their Tourbillon watches sell for around $4000 as opposed to $15,000 for the cheapest Swiss equivalent by Tag Huer!
