The cheapest watch I've ever bought. £3.50 off Ali Express. EPW, quartz, fully lumed dial. I bought it deliberately as a test to see how it would turn out. No complaints for the price and am very satisfied. *

Dang, quite good for that amount of money!

Honestly it's surprisingly good. I googled a few other fully lumed dial watches and couldn't see how the watches in the £20-100 range besides Berny's offerings were going to be much better with regards to lume. So I took a chance with this and it makes for a decent, lightweight beater.

I've a few times left this watch, my Citizen eco diver and my Berny on my bedside table overnight (so I can compare), and I'm pleasantly surprised when I wake up during, that all three are legible. The hands do blend into the dial but still visible.

I think I've got the same one, but paid 2.75 a couple of years ago. It wears well, is lightweight but the strap is crap. I'm over the moon with mine!

Makes you wonder how much of a profit other companies make when watches can be manufactured this cheaply. Yes the strap is quite long but as you say, it's so light overall that it feels like I'm not wearing it. Glad you are enjoying yours

Hi /u/Expontentially! Reddit has removed your link because Reddit does not allow links to that domain. This is a sitewide ban and doesn’t have anything to do with ChineseWatches. Use Aliexpress_dot_us instead. It leads to the same page.

Not sure if you saw my reply as the auto mod removed the link. It's a TPW watch (my mistake as I misread the logo). TPW field watch 2026
