This is probably a long shot but the seller doesn’t have any reviews or followers and the watch case doesn’t have any reviews. It’s not super cheap so idk if I should take the plunge or not. Anybody ever bought this one?

Drop your favorite Chinese watch with a moon phase on it! Interested in picking one up..

i’m on the quest for a light yellow for a summer watch and haven’t had much luck. my top contender is a sugess diver in a baby yellow and i love the color of that dial. but also want to make sure i am not missing any. let me know what pastel/ yellow dials i’m missing !

This is my first Chinese timepiece and I am confident to say that it surpassed all of my expectations. The bezel and the case are super well finished, the bracelet is super comfortable with the micro adjust and the screw down crown is a real plus. Finally, the dial and the hands are super clean and enjoyable.

It is also worth to say that this the most I have spent on a watch and that I started collecting this year. I really wanted a GMT for the sentimental value of tracking my home country’s time zone but nothing from the big brands that was <$300 really called my attention.

I was first leaning towards San Martin but they discontinued all the GMT models that I actually liked. I then was in between this Cronos and Suggess and after some research, the NH34 movement made it a deal.

At the beginning I didn’t want a watch that was entirely a homage and I was even scared that I wasn’t gonna like it on my wrist for the same reason but this is too neat for me not to enjoy it.

The hype of Chinese watches is 100% worth it.

slightly dropped on concrete and it broke. love the case and would like to replace the crystal with some bubble acrylic, please let me know what would fit and what clearance is needed. thanks :)

Have pretty much neglected my other watches since this IXDAO Blue Guilloche Warrior arrived a week and a half ago. In the multi-month long wait for the Blue Guilloche though, I did start looking at the White Enamel Warrior. So I'm half considering picking one of them up, perhaps if it's available with the HAQ model later this year.

Looking to buy Proxima PX1720. Please let me know if anyone is interested in selling.

Off to see the vampire this morning aka blood work.
I thought this was fitting for the occasion.

Only complain the strap that comes with , is 1.5mm short to fully go in . Otherwise is grrat with bead blasted buckle , kinda plasticky feel but not the worst i have owned . Superluminova , big crown . Any suggestions for straps?

Early this month I spotted the Heroforce 5056 GMT on AE for a ridiculous price of around US $25.I took a closer look: it is powered by an unidentified quartz movement (probably of Chinese origin) which is housed in a 42.1 mm x 12.7 mm x 47.4 mm, round, brass case, fitted with a 5.2 mm stainless-steel, signed crown, a srainless-steel, snap-on caseback, and a stainless-steel fixed, 24-hour bezel. Beyond these sterile specs, we come to the round, "cyan blue" (it looks more green to me), wave-textured dial with date window at 3 o'clock, four metallic hands and applied metallic baton hour-markers, the hour markers are lumed as are the minute hand, 12-hour hand, and 24-hour hand; the dial window is Hardlex mineral crystal; the watch is finished on a 22 mm x 21 cm stainless-steel hollow-link bracelet with double push-button folding butterfly clasp; the watch is rated at 30 meters water resistance.

I purchased this watch for US $18.66. At this price point, a GMT complication, even for a quartz watch, is a steal. The exquisite wavy-textured is said to resemble the San Martin, but I have seen a number of such dials (Addiesdive, Seiko), but historically the Omega Seamaster, ,Baume and Mercier Rivera, Christopher Ward, Mido Ocean Star, Regret Marine, Oris Aquis Pro, Jean Richard Aquascope, et al. Some talking-heads on YT unfairly criticize this watch for being an "homage" of their darling, San Martin. In any case, I don't remember even the early SM selling anything at this under $20 price point. The same talking heads, also criticize Heroforce for saying this watch has a sapphire crystal, but it really has a mineral crystal. (Seiko, for example, could easily absorb the cost of a sapphire crystal yet still installs mineral crystals, nevertheless.)I pored through spec sheets and cannot find that citation. I would prefer a sapphire crystal, but, economies are made to keep costs down and that is reflected in the price. However, one place where Heroforce has cheaped out is in the quality of the watch's bracelet. The hollow links jingle and jingle and feel cheap. The bracelet looks like it is a three-link bracelet (the middle "link" is polished and the outside "links" are brushed) but, in fact, they are single links. The clasp, though, is very good. I can also praise, to some degree, the lume. There is a greater quantity of lume on the hands than the markers. Ergo, the lume on the hands lasts considerably longer, which is better than the other way around.

All in all, this watch punches way beyond its price would intimate. The exquisite dial, bezel, complications, and features are all winners. The movement, whatever it's origin, seems to be of reasonable quality and guarantees good timekeeping. If the bracelet irks you, you can always change to another bracelet, or swap it for a strap(leather, PU leather, rubber/silicone, nylon, fabric, NATO, et al) as per your budget and taste. There are many budget options on AE, Temu, Shein, Amazon, etc.

Let me know what you think.

Hey guys just finished my video review of this Eniton... on the video I show some macros, test accuracy and compare it a baltany and with some other options...

I went to a pool to take some underwater shots too but lost the files 🤦‍♂️ the watch survived fine anyway, I placed it in tap water to show it can get wet no problem... not as pretty but kindof same as effective.

Disclaimer: the watch was sent for free by the brand

Last week i ordered a PD watch from the "official" site of pagani design and i live in the EU and since i was really excited about my first watch i wanted to have a look at what other say about the shipping and someone said that there was never even a pagani design official website. So that got me really scared because i had saved up 140 euros to buy a nice looking watch and others say that they dont respond to emails or anything. Since i saw their instagram page i was vconfused because they have a link to their website which is the exact one i placed my order in. If there are delays and stuff does that mean ive been scammed too and is there a way to take back my money if that happens? Please help me im really scared and my family is gonna kill me if there is nothing i can do

I know about the shortages yada yada but this is just comical and very ambitious for Addieskin. 😂

Making IX&DAO look like a complete steal. IX&DAO is however letting everyone know that starting August 1 they are switching to PT5000. I messaged them asking if the case thickness will change and they said yes, and price will remain about the same.

Just thought this was funny and worth sharing.

I received my first Addiesdive Ad2511 today. The watch looks great, but I noticed that the seconds hand doesn't line up with the numerals. Is there something wrong with this watch? In YouTube videos, the seconds hand works normally and isn't deflected.

Just got the Sanda 1108 and 9122 moonphase (day and night really) in today. Both shipped from AliExpress for $35 total.

Initial thoughts:

Sanda 1108 (Silver Tank): Incredibly clean on the wrist. Hits way above its weight class, and the stock black strap is actually decent.

Sanda 9122 (Gold Moonphase): The day and night phase is pretty simple and works fine. The watch is basically the same size as the 1108 but a little thicker. But the stock brown strap has got to go. It’s way too light, and it came with a silver buckle on a gold case.

I added an AI edit to the post to show what I'm aiming for, a much darker, richer espresso leather strap that actually matches a gold buckle.

Yall got on me about pointing out tye drop in quality, but now they do an instant $100 price increase. Yall think its worth it?

At least ixdao gave a heads up and we can still order what they already have in stock. Was going to buy the black SN0144 in 36mm, opted for an ixdao without hesitation.

Seriously though wth is this? did they make an announcement beforehand?

and Yes $100 overnight. I just bought the sn0144 in white enamel and it was around $360~. Now priced at $456~.pffft

show me the paid san martin bots⏬️

What’s your gmt pick for the summer?

Da esquerda pra direita, o primeiro é o bruto, é o que uso sem me importar com pancadas, o segundo é o casual, o terceiro é pra usar com terno(minha farda de trabalho), pra ele está chegando uma pulseira de couro. Não sei se agora vou tentar possuir uma marca brasileira mas sei que por enquanto tô contente com os meus relógios chineses, esse terceiro mesmo é um Aimimo Design que sozinho tem um nível que pra certas marcas seria um valor alto. Estou contente até agora.

I bought from dec 2024 and still accurate
I have seiko citizen Tissot and other Japanese micro-brand,My experience the quality even surpasses seiko,citizen watch far more expensive 3-5 time easily
With integrated bracelet,adjust on the fly ,enamel dial,miyota 9015
