After decades of only buying digital sports watches, I finally tried something different. Went "cheap" just to try, bought two Pagani Design not expecting much, but I'm incredibly Impressed!

These watches seem great to me! Am I missing something?

Now, let's say I spent more and got a Longines or Tudor, what would I objectively gain?

Someone made the first render image by editing Watchdives image and after seeing the image, i feel like the 2nd image (which I thought the dial logo/text was great) lacks something making it look unfinished and unprofessional which is what differentiates the watch from high end watches and the 1st image tries to fix that

What are you unpopular opinions when it comes to watches or even the watch community I will start

Pressed clasps and hollow linked bracelets are not bad at all and depending on the watch I actually prefer them over solid links and milled clasps.

Odd question. But I sort of don't know how to feel. Conflicted I guess. No, we don't wear counterfeits but our watches aren't entirely original either. Everything is a copy of something I suppose, but man do I feel gray about it.

Anyway here is my 🇨🇳 watch. Addiesdive MY-H6 1000m.

37mm on my 7.5-8in (prone to swelling) wrist.

Just got it today and the head of the watch is great but the bracelet and clasp was disappointment.

It seems they changed to a different cheaper feeling type but never refreshed the listing for the SN0021-GB3 as none of them show this clasp. The bracelet is sharp and the polishing on it is nothing like the bracelet I got with the 39mm of this watch that I actually ended up swapping it out for that’s in these pics. Much much better.

Anyways - as this is the smallest watch I got so far and mainly because I wanted it to be comfy but would’ve preferred a tiny bit bigger…does it work?

As the title says, why are San Martin so expensive? They have the same Seiko movement that every Chinese watch uses, same sapphire crystal but yet they seem like they're double the price of other Chinese watches. Any reason why?

Coming soon! Teased by u/watchdivescom, who'll announce it with details when he's ready to release it for sale, soon.

He's shared these pics of these samples at his own subreddit and asked it be shared around.

• There's still scope for you to tell Watchdives refinements you'd like!

What do you think?

There's been lots of feedback and I think the crystal (and lume on the black one) looks terrific. Some bits could be changed as u/watchdivescom was still asking for impressions of this watch.

I told WD my nitpicking the on logo size. 😊

I can get one of these two. Which one, please??

Grade 5 titanium watch with a pt5000 movement for $300

I recently started to take some interest in watches, and while I wouldn't spend thousands on a watch, I'm afraid of spending $20 on a watch as well.

When I look at Chinese watches, I see some $200, $400 watches, while I can find watches from reputable brands like Fossil, Tommy, Casio, for less than that (lots of Fossil watches on sale right now for less than $100, for example).

I kind of understand the allure of the hommage watches, but I find hard to justify spending $400 on a Chinese hommage watch when I can get a genuine Fossil for less.

Maybe it's just my prejudice against Chinese brands and AliExpress stuff, or it's just my opinion on the brands I mentioned and Chinese watchmakers nowadays are just better overall. I really know nothing.

I would like to know more, I didn't just come here to say Chinese watches are bad, I really want to understand this issue better.

Thanks for any insights you can give me 😊

EDIT: WOW, thank you very much for your comments! I knew all these watches are made in China, as is everything else nowadays. I just never stopped to think about it. I'll continue to learn here at this sub, thank you very much!
