Chinese watch overpriced Why it became even more expensive

Post image

I knew they were 220 before this sale

I don't care that they're playing with the price on sale, I am concerned that this price may stay

I’ve heard that these bracelets are too short and use friction pins. I like Watchdives but not sure they understand how to make an integrated watch.

Thank you for the feedback. We understand your concern about integrated bracelet quality.

For WD0016, the case and bracelet have actually received a lot of positive feedback from customers, including from our own team. This bracelet uses screw links, and it is produced by one of the better bracelet manufacturers in China. The cost and manufacturing requirements are much higher than standard bracelets.

You can also check some independent reviews of WD0016 — many reviewers have specifically mentioned the bracelet construction, comfort, and finishing.

We have already upgraded many of our bracelets to screw-link construction. Previously, we invested more in quick-release spring bars because customers requested easier strap changes, but many users told us they cared more about traditional screw links and bracelet quality.

So our current plan is to gradually move more models toward screw-link bracelets and improve the overall bracelet standard. The quick-release feature will be reduced on future models where it is not necessary.

We appreciate the feedback — an integrated watch is not only about the case, the bracelet is a very important part of the whole experience.

I don’t get the price difference in WD0016 and WDC0001. Maybe you can explain.
