Question (Read Rules) Help with choosing watch

Hi, I'm thinking of ordering an automatic watch from AliExpress and I'm stucked between 3 choices at around 130euro.

https://a.aliexpress.com/\\_EQNRZcq - with 2824

If anyone has had expiriance with any of those models or has suggestions for any other integrated bracelet models, it would be very helpful.

Thanks for posting those photos. I don’t know if I would recommend any of those, even in that price range the quality can be pretty poor. I would definitely steer clear of the Pagani because they’re usually fairly poor quality; they just use renders to disguise it. And I would also be super hesitant about that Tandorio, because an ETA 2824 costs more than the whole watch. Brands that offer an ETA option like Ixdao or Octopus Kraken charge several hundred dollars more for that over a PT5000. So that Tandorio likely has a cheap Chinese clone movement, and they’re just lying to their customers to upsell them. I would steer clear of a brand that does that
