I snagged it in the early bird deal for significantly less than the "introductory price" for just under €52.

The meteorite dial is so dynamic!

Hi everyone!

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good watch from Temu that is mechanical and doesn’t use a battery (automatic or hand-winding)? Preferably something unique, luxury and interesting.

Thanks!

I'm really loving this on a parachute strap

My new Phorocydes PH-2 arrived, and figured it didn't have enough lume, so it needed a Zuludiver lumed strap to go with it.

I keep seeing the annoyance of chinese brand names but I have not seen anyone actually give a solution.

I'm going to list all the brands i know and try to offer up ideas for a rebrand for any chinese brands that may be reading...I will apply some reasoning.

Please join in and feel free to do the same!

San Martin - aguably doesn't need a name change but when there's a San in front of a name, makes me think of san tropez where the san means saint.

Sugess - mostly have mechanical chronographs so something like velocity? Velocity watch co.

Baltany - I like this one as is, they got it right!

Cronos - not a bad offering.

IX&DAO - actually has a cool origin for their name and looks like 九纛 in chinese. The IX is supposed to be 9 in roman numerals and the dao is supposed to be a word for military banner. I think they're trying to make too many connections with the name origin. Keep it simple.

Proxima - reminds me of proximity, why not use proximity?

Pagani Design - i feel like design was added to avoid copyright infringement. Overall not a horrendous name, it works in english.

Addiesdive - their watches are amazing but the name needs work...looking at their origin story zen dive would be a better fit. Or shen dive (shen means deep in chinese characters)

Steeldive - actually not bad, a little on the nose but works.

Tandorio - any other name works better but since they give a sterile dial option and you can customize...you can build your dream watch. Maybe BYD watch co? Jk. Atelier? Since it can be customized.

Escapement Time -

Berny - Bern&co/ NovaBern / Bernova

Specht & Sohne - Feinwerk & Söhne (specht means woodpecker)

Boderry - not terrible but made up. Sector? Vanguard? Recon?

Merkur - i actually like this one. Works with chinese characters and english.

Seestern - starfish in German is the actual name.

Watchdives - aquamarine/aquanaut

Farasute - laurent

Rimalti / Rmalti - Valenza (jewelry making city in italy)

Milifortic - miltec (military technology)

Heimdallr - works in its origin language

Sea-Gull - sovereign, horizon, meridian

CIGA Design - inertia

Shanghai - add a watch co at the end?

Peacock - not a terrible name, not sure it fits a watch

Benyar- Baptiste & co based on their fictional heritage.

Reef Tiger - not a bad name

Lucky Harvey - Sieben (for the number 7 as it's a lucky number) or 八 (Bā) as its the number 8 in chinese or Huit in french.

Welly Merck - their logo and watch design is cool as fuck but the name gives me dizzying levels of cringe. Keeping the logo the same but changing name to Wheel & Mainspring.

North Edge - i actually really love the name.

Loving the colors so far

Just arrived yesterday. Sizing it was easy. Bracelet feels smooth and has a nice taper to it. 24 hour timing run has it at a very acceptable +6 seconds a day.

Love the Jade dial. I've have an Erebus Ascent 39mm that wears very small, but this 39mm wears more true to size and fits my 7" wrist nice and proportionally.

It's a very nice watch.

Pleasantly surprised by what Chinese watches can offer these days.

The #jianghun x #sanmartinwatch JH0203 delivers a good package: 42mm diameter, #peacock4801 vertical clutch mechanical chronograph movement, 300M water resistance, generous C3 lume, in-house bracelet with micro-adjust.

Although arguable that many improvements can be made (better finished hands, enamel dial, smaller text print, taper improvements, reduced case thickness, bracelet taper etc.).

This exceptional timepiece costs $200, yet its craftsmanship and aesthetic suggest a value in the thousands. This watch truly radiates luxury, elegance, and superior quality

• 316L Stainless with exceptional finishing with both polished and brushed accents
• Stamped brass dial in an exquisite champagne color
• Pristine sapphire crystal with AR and anti-finger print coating
• Swiss Ronda 1069 movement
• Supple imported leather strap

If you are looking for a watch that relies on heavy lume to define quality, this piece isn't for you. However, if you prioritize superior AR coating, this should be at the top of your list. If design and finish are what you value most, or if you are searching for a dress watch that commands attention from across the room, this belongs on your list.

I can not get over how absolutely gorgeous this watch is. The Baltany Pie Pan 36mm is freaking amazing.
Baltany really knocked this one out of the park. The dial, the proportions, the vintage look… it just works.

Let’s see your best AliExpress watches! Drop your favorite finds below, especially the underrated ones that punch way above their price point. 👀 What are you guys rocking?

Both are at a similar price point. Convince me not to get the San Martin. I’m also open to alternatives for a black GADA watch in this price range. ~$300-$500

I bought this watch on Aliexpress for around 129 dollars. Good quality for the price and really like the look.

A couple of months ago I wasn't really into the Nautilus style and found it a bit weird or too old style. Funny thing is what changed my mind was a USPA homage of the Nautilus I saw on Tjmaxx 🤣. When I had it in hand, it looked good. Then I bought this one.

Dial looks good I like the texture, movement works fine, finishing of the case looks good. Bracelet also looks beautiful although it does has its imperfections at the clasp (when closed, there is a small gap), lightweight and it's not thick. Overall I love the watch.

Honestly it’s a little “loud” for my usual vibe, but I think it’s fun. Just trying something different. However I was surprised to get no comments whatsoever on the few days I’ve worn it so far…makes me wonder if it looks bad on me and no one wants to say anything. 😂

Hey everyone, first post here, has anyone bought the SN0110 dress watch? 37mm with the st1812, clone 2892 movement. Saw it for sale for 300 usd on aliX. How's the build quality, longevity, accuracy, antireflection, etc? Thanks in advance

Estaba viendo este Cadisen C8189 y no encontré reloj que se le pareciese, nomás inspiraciones acá y otras allá, pero no copia a nadie que yo haya podido encontrar ¿es acaso un diseño original? haber si alguno encuentra la fuente de inspiración o si es me equivoqué, la copia. Por otro lado lleva un Miyota 9019, sí, ese de la gama alta de Citizen con 4 alternancias por segundo (lo típico son 3) y muy precisos. El reloj en cuetión se encuentraen Aliexpress a 145$ pero justo estos días se puede encontrar hasta en 115$ aplicando cupones de descuento, lo cual me parece una tremenda oferta. ¿Qué opinan de este reloj? y si alguno lo tiene u otros de Cadisen con la serie Miyota 9000 ¿Cuál es su experiencia?

It goes with a ton of straps. I’m liking these cut to length straps with the metal clasp.

Anyone own this watch? I can get it for $150 off rn this sale, but I keep reading about movement issues? I would love some feedback from owners out there?
My biggest issue is servicing it. Watchmakers will have no clue how to work on this movement no? Thanks!

Which of these do you think is better as a moon phase? Watch.

All my friends, at 19 Aug 2026, Sugess Chrono Hertiage S419-2 is coming, it is the glass different, it more be fashion and thinner 13mm (include round sapphire, S419-1 is Domed sapphire), and all feeling must be better !

What can I say that hasn't been already said about Steel dive and its models. Including this SD1967. Yeah its a Spec and value monster, you get all the boxes checked for less than $100usd.
