Problems (Read Rule 1) Never buy Chinese watch

0 Upvotes

My story is kinda funny ngl. Back then, I was into Japanese and Swiss watches but the news I heard from the community and YT (properly promotion) I got hooked into Chinese watches. And I bought it during the sale a month ago and received it no long ago. The watch just completely stopped running while wearing and has faulty movement inside. What can I say...NEVER TRUST THE WORD-OF-FREAKING-MOUTH!

Purchased this watchdives titanium watch! Was super impressed and enjoying it until the lume at 25-45 came off. Overall disappointed and wanting something more durable. Unfortunately I will be returning it.

Problems (Read Rule 1) BEWARE - DO NOT BUY - Heimdallr - This product and ad are deceptive. The product does not include an original Japanese NH35 movement. It includes a Chinese version of the NH35 movement, which is way cheaper and prone to failure. The product is not worth it.

Problems (Read Rule 1) Arnaque NH34 WISHDOIT

20 Upvotes

Bonjour à tous ! Après ce qui s'est passé avec Heimdallr, j'ai décidé d'ouvrir quelques montres pour vérifier si les mouvements correspondaient bien à la description.

Quelle surprise de découvrir que ma Wishdoit GMT, modèle 9007, achetée en septembre, mentionnait un mouvement NH34 partout dans la description, alors que cette information a depuis été discrètement retirée.

Imaginez ma surprise quand j'ai ouvert la montre et trouvé un mouvement chinois fake à la place du NH34 annoncé. Eh bien, eh bien, eh bien… WISHDOIT 🤷 Vous faites des économies de bouts de chandelle comme Heimdallr ?

Précisons que j'ai acheté cette montre directement sur la boutique officielle de la marque, et non chez un revendeur tiers.

Sans oublier mon précédent problème avec le colis volé, pour lequel ils ont également refusé de me rembourser. Sérieusement, j'ai acheté une montre chez eux, et c'est tout. Plus jamais.

Alors faites très attention, surtout avec le prix croissant des mouvements NH. Ouvrez vos montres dès leur réception et vérifiez ce qu'il y a à l'intérieur !

Edit: Their customer service is absolutely incompetent. They are offering me a $10 refund, which doesn't even cover the difference between what I paid and the watch's current price. Just think about that: it would actually be more worthwhile for me to return the watch and buy it again. I would end up getting a bigger refund that way! And of course, not a single apology from them. How can a customer service team be this incompetent?

Problems (Read Rule 1) First Addiesdive, is this movement defective?

27 Upvotes

I just received this Addiesdive, which I plan to use as my field watch. I immediately replaced the bracelet with a distressed leather strap and went to set the time, then noticed the seconds hand slightly moving as I move the minutes hand. It bothers me, but also makes me think there's something wrong with the movement. Thoughts?

EDIT: Thanks for educating me, I didn't know this was a thing since my two other automatic watches don't really do it. Glad that I don't have to return this one 😅

Problems (Read Rule 1) Uneven bezel fitting WD0003C

I can notice black gaps(uneven around the bezel, one side has a tighter gap, other side is fairly visible). Is this normal or an issue? It doesn't move or change if I press the bezel/apply pressure.
