Is The Cheapest Watch On Amazon Really THAT Bad?

In this video, I unbox the cheapest watch on Amazon, to see if it's good or garbage for the super-low retail price. As far as I can recall this is the cheapest watch ever reviewed on RU-vid and is significantly less than the cheapest automatic watch on Amazon. This has to be close to the cheapest watch in the world.

What is truly remarkable about the price of the watch is that a profit was made at every step of the supply chain-from the suppliers of the raw materials all the way to the retailer on Amazon. First I thought it looked like a Tissot PRC 200 from afar. Then I saw it was a Gaiety PRC 200.

I think the best bang for buck is Orient. Maybe the Ray II. Not only do you get an amazing watch for the price, but the movement is manufactured in-house and has hacking/hand-winding. All for around £150! If it's just a dress watch that you like, then it's the Bambino for sure. Crazy how they produce such amazing watches for the price. I have an Orient Star RE-AU0004B00B and it's case finishing/details are way better than my Tudor Classic Date 21010. Movement is just as accurate too at +1s per day for both. I think Orient are very underrated in the UK. Would love to see more videos from you about them!

@jong9379
@jong9379 4 года назад
you don't have to think hard. Quartz nearly decimated Swiss watch making in the seventies for a reason. Mechanical movements are out of date in this day and age. The only reason we have them is because of its luxury value. And they are pretty to look at. And that we appreciate the hardwork that goes into making one mechanical watch. Want to know another funny thing? quartz even beats mechanical watches in the beats per hour category! So there is absolutely no doubt that quartz watches are superior in technical points you can think of...

I picked up an "Olmeca" chrono off of Amazon for about $8 US. Yes, it actually is a real chronograph, with three working chorno hands on three sub-dials, working pushers, and a real date complication! The black plating on the metal band is starting to wear off on the bottom, and the "crystal" is plastic, but it looks OK as long as you treat it with care. It even came in a "real" box, with the tool to push out the pins to remove the bracelet links.

The best use case for these watches: when you haven't worn a watch for years and want a cheap way to decide if you want to start again. That was me last year and I bought a few Chinese watches like Yazole (great looks, bad straps, super noisy), and Curren (ok looks, good straps, better quality) and wore the various designs long enough to get hooked on watches and am now shopping for Seikos.

I bought a g shock mudman copy off ebay for $3.20 usd, shipped. "Smael" or something like that. Now, it hardly have any functions, stopwatch, alarm, date. But the insane part is that it looses 1 second per 6 months. 0.5s/3 months. Its by far the most accurate watch I own. I use it for banging out in the bush with. And the beefiness sure stands up to a beating, even if it is just a copy. Great backlighting. Yeah, in a way there is diminishing returns. As the added mudman features, while neat, prob wont be used that often. I have $60-$90 dual and triple sensor watches if i need that. They just arent $500 g shocks. But for 3 bucks... And super accurate, sorry, but I love it!

I got myself a similarly cheap (below £5) field watch from China, a Xinew. It didn't arrive ticking, the plastic separator worked here. The one big shock was that when I engaged the crown to set the time the minute hand succumbed to gravity. However, that was not broken as I feared, I could set the time and date and the watch worked fine. The only fake part on the watch was the loom, i.e. it looked like it would be loom but was just paint. For my small wrist the watch is on the large size (45mm case size, 24mm lug width), but it wears ok and does not look shabby. I have been using it for a couple of months, and so far so good. The movement appears much better than expected, as it keeps time very accurately and (shocker) the second-hand is well aligned with the dial. I had field watches in the £30-50 range that were much worse, and - I would not trade this for the affordable luxury of a DW.

And comes with a 2 Year Warranty from the manufacture. No need to pay anymore. And the accuracy on them is around +/- 30 Seconds a MONTH. i.e +/- 1 Second a day.

About a year ago I've bought a Daniel Wellington "homage" named Ginave on Aliexpress for 1.79€. Finishing is awful and provided NATO strap is really basic, but it still works just fine, shows accurate time and has some features that beat Timex Weekender, everybody tends to like somehow: 1) You don't have to put your timepiece in another room to get some sleep, it's absolutely silent; 2) It has applied hour marks. Totally misaligned, but nevertheless; 3) The second hand never misses second marks, because it doesn't even have a second hand. I'm still quite amazed.

There is a saying that you get what you pay for which is what you get in this case. I agree bang for buck Casio are really good value for money and I have several of them. Two of my favourite Casio watches though are my Casio MTD1053D watches, one the black version and the other the blue version, I have had them three years now and they are great diver watches with 200M water resistance and have a screw down crown and caseback and have hardened scratch resistant glass and come on a stainless steel bracelet. I paid around £50 each for them and for the price are definately value for money if you want a dive watch at a great price. They are designed for the smaller wrist so are not big and bulky like some other brands of watch but they still do the job they are designed to do. I have used mine in both the sea and swimming pools without any problems. Definately worth a review if you ever get one. I purchased mine on Amazon and also at a retailer while on holiday in Malta.

The $20 Casio MTP analog series is the best value watch, an equivalent Citizen/Bulova/Seiko quartz with the same specs costs around $100ish. As for the rest, the Chinese ones, they're better value on AliExpress, you suffer from a bit of a markup on Amazon. If you go for the absolute bottom of the barrel $5 ones then you won't have good luck, if you step up your price range to the $10-$30 ones like the Nakzen Pagoda then of course there are plenty of good watches. Julius is another brand I found to make some good designs with decent finishing. There's definitely bargains there you just have to experiment a bit. There's a Timex Weekender Chrono on there for $18 that has basically the same finishing quality as an actual Timex Chrono though of course the quality control isn't as good so you could end up with a bad one.

Great video! THANK YOU! And brave enough to do so, given some of the mid-price to luxury watches many channels focus on. Go on ProducerMichael (a really great bloke and channel), review a sub $5 watch... I bought a handful of watches to tick-box the standard needs (field, dress, sports, even a really odd 'binary' one for fun...) with a complete intended cheapest possible budget of about 30 GBP... all the cheapest off Amazon, and yes, some lasted only a year or so, were vaguely accurate to the minute (which to be honest, is acceptable in day-to-day life). Now, through good advice like yours, Ben, I'm off to buy fewer, better pieces. cheers to you! I liked & Subscribed.

I bought a Chinese digital for my wife for .99. I put a metal clasp on it to replace the plastic one. She loves it, it just tells the time. I'm a big spender.

You can actually get decent watches from Aliexpress for around 15 pounds. Naviforce is one brand the gives you pretty good bang for the buck. Just don't shower with them

Topical.Me and my mate tried a similar stunt a couple of years back.Mine was a fake chrono that the next door neighbours possibly heard ticking.Conclusion being that this shit gives quartz a bad name and that's why we chucked them.Timex,Casio ,Pulsar etc analogues yes all day long.They represent good value .Cheers!

I can beat that cost... No2 Son was buying some stuff on Ali Express and needed to spend another £2 to get free P&P which otherwise would have been around £5, so he bought me a watch for £2 and effectively it cost him £-3! Is it any good? Well the crystal works...

Bought a couple of Carribean Joe watches from Amazon for $15 each. Surprisingly nice looking, though suspiciously light. Of course the straps had to go.

I bought a pocketwatch once, 40 Euro, mechanical, runs 4 minutes slow per day… it was meant to be a prop for a steampunk outfit. Bovet was the brandname. Tourbillon… from Aliexpress… that watch has travelled more than I ever have.

For a very nice watch for sure. You can get away with a £40 ($50 at the current exchange rate) for if you want a pretty good watch for average people though. It'll keep on ticking and you've got a good range ( lorus, Duro, etc) to choose from

You could ask a friend or relative if they have an old crappy watch that they don’t use anymore and if they’d be willing to give it to you for free. If it needs a battery, you would be paying more than $3 USD but you’d still be better off.

It's a good bang-for-buck assuming it actually doesn't die before a month.

Chinese quartz movements aren't the most accurate (for quartz), most silent or best looking, but the idea that they are spontaneously failing after a short period of time is a myth. I bought two for the lolz about 10 months ago and they are still happily ticking like on the first day. And battery change would be really easy.

Buy a sundial instead. Cheap, accurate (well at least half the time), solar powered, and no servicing required.

Over a one month period, I wonder the accuracy of this watch, plus any Smael or Skmei watch, plus any low-end Casio, plus any other inexpensive watch -- would compare to any watch with a Seiko NH35 automatic movement -- and daily compare them all to the 'Time.is' atomic clock site. I was hoping to find a watch at a 'dollar' store for such a test (since they offer calculators at such shops!), but they sadly didn't offer any 'dollar' watches.

You got that watch at a bargain price. I once saw a cheap fake chronograph watch at, ugh, Walmart for $10 US.
