Top 10 Cheapest Watches (That Are Unbelievable Quality) 

If the author of the book Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy had a watch channel it would sound exactly like this

The watches are beautiful, but our definitions of “cheap” and “bargain” are extremely different.

Congrats on 200K+ subs. Well deserved.

A great review. Informative and entertaining.

You’re a class act Andrew, keep doing what you’re doing.

Very entertaining, and the insight into some brands previously unknown to me is the icing on the cake.

You are the "Jeremy Clarkson of the watch world" when it comes to word play and descriptions Brilliant! Subscribed.

Great video as always. Fun fact about Zelos is that Elshan is in the process of moving certain pieces in basic colors to regular production

Great review again👍Thankyou

Great watches! Excellent video. Thank you

Carefully curated selection of wonderful watches, described in terms sublime and sometimes surreal. Superb, I chortled.

Love the fact you look at all brands not just big boys.

Great video, thank you for introducing me to the Radcliffe brand!

The Beaubleu looks like it's taking off the Raketa Copernicus

Great content, some nice watches to keep an eye out for, thanks

Love Zelos, love Baltic and love RZE too! Great video 😊

Is there a watch channel on RU-vid that’s better at combining great information with entertaining commentary. I think not. Great job, Andrew.

WAS NOT EXPECTING TO SEE THE SCARIFOUR ON HERE!!!!! purchased the orange dial and I can't wait to get it!

Highly enjoyable content mate. This one especially, because it's making my mind wonder what can be tomorrow, compared to what might be someday...

Great list, thank you 🙂

What a great collection, there are so many great options in this space, really exciting times. I had been daily wearing a 2019 Submariner until I got my Paul Newman Nivada Chronoking last October, I absolutely love it, its sits perfectly on the wrist at 38mm and the quality is unbelievable for sub £500. It also gets lots of admiration and comments. Great channel, keep releasing the great content.

Good gosh, I want them all! Except the Radcliffe. Another great video AMW.

Great video...I rarely see a watch I've not heard of/seen before. But you've put out a video full of them😂. Bravo sir🫡

Who cares about the watches, the moderation goes down as some of the best dialogue that is more fun to listen to, letting you forget time itself. Thank you!

..."and down would only work on a particularly thin albino"... Just when I think your humor and information can't get better, it does! Did I ever think I would actually add another reason to love the weekend by knowing you have another video to enjoy on my Saturday morning? Thank you AGAIN Andrew!

Great content... thanks mate

Over 200k. Well done sir! Congratulations. 🎉 Interesting pick of watches. I’m sometimes stuck on the caliber inside. But they are damn good. 👍😎

200k lets goo! also the ARKEN is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Fantastic selection of watches with your unique twist Andrew!!! Thanks as always for not simply reproducing the same watches and same opinions as everyone else!

woohoo!!! .. 200k subs Andrew! well done mate!

Thanks Andrew! Sellita and Myota never had it so good!

Spoke to the founder of Arken and his buddy helping him out at BWM day a few weeks back, I was blown away by the quality, care and attention to details of the watch as well as box, warrenty card etc. Really cool brand. Their watches were waiting listed, but i managed to walk away with an awesome hat :)

Damn, Andrew. Nice Jeff Buckley reference! “Grace” was such a legendary album.

Thank you for this. Now that Arken is on my radar.

Thank you Andrew.

Excellent video. That Zelos Stonefish is a work of art. I think I need to have one.

I learnt to drive in a VW polo harlequin. My instructor saw one at a dealer, and ended up being able to get one. He called his company "harlequin diver training". A dull, yet true, fact.

Your writing in this episode is superb. Beautifully crafted similies and next-level niche references. And yes I was doing that too when I was 15... 😂

What a great video, man

About time someone showed Beaubleu some love. Still can't spell it right, though 😂Another great video my dear Mr. Talking Hands!

I owned the Baltic MR01 and loved it, and definitely want to add more watches from the list 😁👍🏽

Great video. Love the selection. I might have added San Martin. Pretty nice watches for the price. But really, Andrew nailed it.

That first Baltic at 10 minute 40 second mark of this video is a BOOMER of a watch . Best of breed.

Nice video and watches selection, Thanks ! Though I guess I would have also added Echo/Neutra to the list, they quite nailed it as well !

Henry Archer makes some beautiful watches. I recommend them

I would recommend to include Wise watches from Thailand in the next episode, they are great quality from a country no one expects

Been watching here and there. Now subbed.

Thank you for introducing me the Radcliffe L'Inversee, I really like this special freaky watch, pre-ordered already!! 🤓👍

Great video. have the Nivada Grenchen. Love it! Been trying to decide what Zelos and Baltic models I like best. Lots to close from. Oddly enough I found myself wanting the watermelon after this haha 😂

Half of these aren't currently available...little disappointing

Great video 👍 thanks

Please please please🙏make this a recurring topic! Ive discovered a few absolute gems (BeauBleu...omg) thanks to this video and hope to discover more in the future!

I had ordered that same Zelos swordfish 38 but then came across a Glycine combat sub 36mm on Jomashop for a little bit more and went with that instead. Still want a Zelos in the future but I don’t regret getting the Glycine.

A most-amazing pick of fabulous budget (well, at least well under $1k) watches…and well-deserved congrats for cresting 200k members.

This is a good list of good priced watches of some brands I've never heard of and will be looking into. Thanks. Aragon, which used to be Android, has been around for 3 decades and offers some very well-made watches at great price points.

Thanks for sharing.

Great video as always. I do love Tayeb's productions (my purple Radcliffe Le Dôme is a stunner and it will be hard to wait for the turquoise Inversée). You could have mentionned CW...Nope, you did! I am found of Atowak (the Tarantula) and Boldr (the Safari Vogelkop Superb with its musou black dial). I will get the MD watches Caturix (a fantastic regulator watch) after the kickstarter campain that has been a fantastic success. Oh, and Henry Archer is making superb divers for around 500€ Thanks again Andrew!

That orange gradient and that purple gradient dial face are pretty nice

Another fantastic and fun review. I’m looking forward to your channel growing.🎉

Hello and thanks for this video. As a microbrands french ... Yes, my english sucks, so what?! ... lover, it has been a true delight to discover this video. And not only because of the two french microbrands into. But also, and at first, because I discovered a brand I never hadn't heard of before, Benjamin James. And in a second time, because of the Radcliffe's new piece of pure madness! Thank you!

Signum watches are a great brand, especially their new Cuda 39mm

Watching your videos feels like having a conversation with that rare dude who is also into watches, warm , friendly and interesting, one day i would visit england to see you in person and a chelsea match:)

Off topic, I'm pretty sure you're next in line to take Sir David Attenborough place for commentaries when time's due 😂 brilliant 👌🏻

The zingers per minute in this video is off the charts!! 😂👏

That Benjamin James quartz is sublime!

Love the cut and parry of your répartie

Very nice offerings and entertaining as always- thank you. I noticed a lack of signed crowns in many examples; anyone here care one way or another? I prefer signed but it’s not a deal breaker.

My wife has bought me a BALL Engineer Legend and I cant stop wearing or looking at it, its beautiful. Any plans to review any of their offerings??

Haven't bought a Zelos yet but I REALLY like what I see

Ive got the swordfish field - I bought it while drunk. I do like it though, most of the time. Sometimes I look at it and think: "yeah - nice". Other times I think : "mmm... bit odd." Solid watch though. Good finishing for the money and original design.

Ordering the Arken right now... Oh dear, credit limit exceeded from previous Omega acquisition 😢

Thanks Andrew, I’ve often wondered what GMT watches were for !

1:00 I have number 228/300 of the Swordfish Ember 40 shown on the left. It glows like a small nuclear reactor. Zelos truly deserves the first shout out on this video.

A video on Aliexpress "homage" watch brands like Pagani Design, Welly Merck, and San Martin that aren't wholly original but also deliver really really really good value for money ($50-$300) would be great (Studio Underdog said they might even be copying an avocado colourway of the watermelon watch that a Chinese brand came up with)

Henry Archer watches are fantastic and great bang for buck.

Glad Benjamin James is getting some spotlight. Can’t wait for my Scarifour

Ciao, lovely video. I suggest Raidillion brand. Simply because I fell in love with it and its story.

That purple Benjamin James dial is amazing

Wordsmith extraordinaire! Love your content and your delivery, always a pleasurable break to watch your videos!

Hi Andrew. I’m Richard and I have an addiction. I love Lorier watches and can’t stop accumulating them. It started with the Neptune diver in black and white 4 years ago, then added a Gemini Nero chronograph last year, and just yesterday, perhaps their best watch to date, a white dial Astra. It’s gorgeous, everyday watch to rival an OP.

I remember years ago when Elshan's dad told me his son was going into the watch business, creating his own brand, but I never imagined back then how big it was going to become! His dad wears a Zelos too, of course!

Lorier is by far one of the best affordable watches, all for under $500 that hit so far above thier price point with not only design but finishing as well.

As a viewer from Kazakhstan, the mention was surprising 😅 Looking forward for more independent content from AMW

Excellent reviews. Very enjoyable. Keep up the good work Sir.

My first mechanical watch that i bought this year is the Orient "Baby Neptune" RA-AC0K03L10B. I think its a real bargain. Automatic diver, inhouse movement with hacking and handwinding, sapphire crystal, screw down case back, screw down crown at 4, crown guards, seamless date window at 4, pepsi tactile uni-directional bezel, 200m WR, with really amazing lume. I mean really this thing glows. 350€ I think its a real bargain. And an amazing everyday watch. Did end up changing its bracelet tho

Missing the Echo Neutra Cortina 1956 GMT. Stunning piece.

I love my Karlskrona baltic shield. Cheap and ludicrously well made.

Nice list. The Beaubleu uses the same '3 circles' idea as the Mr Jones 'Colour Venn'.

I just got an UNDONE Aquadeep. grade II titanium case, double dome sapphire crystal, 500M water resistance. All for under $400US. A lot of watch for the money. I am enjoying it very much.

Great video

Thank you. I'll take one of each.

I do believe that Studio UnderdOg CEO has a bust of Andrew in his office. Or he should have one because the boost you gave them while working for the previous channel, makes them float on orders for a few years in the future. I am one of those who fell in love and bought two of their watches, just because of your description. And another one I discovered and bought, that should be in the next "affordable but cool watches" list is Maen, with the Manhattan 37. A serious banger for the money. And, oh... Atowak. The third coming from your suggestions, the Ettore Drift on my wrist right now . And naturally I do own an MR01 too. I mean, probably I'm a tad too prone to your soothing voice but I have to admit that once I saw the above mentioned watches, I couldn't agree more with your impressions. Every word, every joke, every vision was simply there, spot on. Never regretted any of this purchases and so... thank you for making me discover the "cheap" fun in collecting watches. Next will probably be the upside down thingy featured on this one...

4 Zelos, 3 Helm and 2 Long Island watches - love them all

I really like that Benjamin James design. It took me a while to figure out what it reminded me of - a Mark Carson Kailua. I haven't thought about that watch for a while and now I want one again.

I've been getting several adverts for Méraud watches recently. Particularly their Bonaire model, which reminds me of timepieces from a couple of more expensive makers.

Most entertaining and intelligent Infomercial on RU-vid 👍

Wearing my Baltic aquascaphe now and still the big love. Every release they offer is unique, simple but in a positive way with crazy attention to detail.. love this Brand and wish them all the best! You could also test the Chinese watches, there are not only replicas 😅. I own a Seagull pilot horizon, it’s a pleasure to wear. Same quality as an entry level Swiss watch, curiously with one of the best straps I ever had on a watch. Lobinni makes great and (sometimes just a bit inspired) but stunning dress watches. Merkur is also a bit inspired but have great models! Good luck if you start investigating in the Chinese watches world, it’s a journey😅

Some of the best humour in the interweb.

I really enjoyed your review. I’m surprised you didn’t review Dan Henry Watches. Have you reviewed his watches before?
