I suggest you do a video on the "high-end" AliExpress watches, like San Martin. I think you'll be genuinely stunned by the quality of what you can get for less than $250 (in a good way!).
@@sinuosalice-1434 you'd be surprised at the quality of AliExpress, especially if you boost the budget to the $200 range. You get quality on par with Citizen or Seiko watches worth twice the price.
Honestly, for someone just getting into watches, Aliexpress is a great way to try out a load of different styles, sizes, colours, complications etc for very little money, to see what you actually like before you splash the cash on a big watch purchase that you might end up having some regrets about.
@@ciklop4206your choices then are pretty much Walmart and... well, Walmart. It's ok though. I love the people who choose to remain ignorant when it comes to Chinese timepieces and automatically assume everything is trash. It keeps the prices low for those of us who know differently.
Good to know. After watching this, I felt like it had to be based off of something specific. A plate like that just didn't look like an original creation.
I've been impressed by AliExpress brands in the past, but you gotta spend some money. I paid $30 for a Pagani watch that I wear regularly, stunning ice blue dial that looks fantastic on a brown leather band. Another dive watch I paid $60 for a ceramic dial and bezel, it's not bad at all. I'll keep building my own watches from AliX parts, though. Great video Elliot
I just bought a pagani root beer for £45. I couldn't even make one from parts for that, it's crackers. Going to add my own dial to it just to make it my own.
That boxing skit was about 10x the amount of effort and production quality I'd expect from a video about cheap AliExpress watches. AND the joke worked too.
Great video ! Now if I were you I would review watches from Aliexpress like San Martin, Boderry, Baltany, Steeldive etc…. you will be completely blown away by the quality vs price !! It puts some of the Swiss/Japanese brands to shame !! Especially the San Martin watches. Thank you from Canada, I subscribed .
That last one might be a clone of something expensive and they expect re-sellers to remove that sticker and replace it with a copy of the sticker/badge that the original would have so they can sell them "Down the market" next to the Rolexes that tick 🤣
got my 39mm with the white dial on the 3-link "Bader" bracelet watch on MAMACOO 3 weeks ago and am loving it to pieces. Absolute fantastic watch that wears super comfortable on my 6.75 inch wrist. Chose the 3-link over the 5-link bracelet for the toolless quick adjustment. Way more comfortable than my Longines Hydroconquest 41 mm.
4:42 every Chinese watch band with this style of clasp eventually has the springs go a bit loose or something and it becomes easy for just normal wrist movements to sometimes disengage the clasp. At least the depoyant is still there so it's never fallen off, but the few with this I've tried have all done this shortly.
Picked up a MaMaCoo 's watch as my first watch last month and I’m absolutely in love with it. Perfect size, looks elegant, very comfortable. Now my only problem is holding off from buying more watches so quickly!
that was incredible. what a beautiful watch and what great work you did on it!I love MAMACOO watch!! Dream watch! Everytime I wear it, makes me feel amazing!
Can’t beat gold polished Roman numerals that sparkle like jewels in the sunlight. Loving the sun ray dial man that pops!AMZWATCH watches. What a beautiful subtle piece.
The third watch you showed in your video is the one I got too, but for even cheaper! €1,79!! 🤩 people love it! Made the bracelet a bit smaller at a very well known (and pricey) watch store here in Cologne and they loved the watch! I asked them how much they thought I was worth and the woman who made it shorter for me said between €300 and €500. She nearly passed out when I said I only paid €1,79 😂
i feel so much better that my *amzwatch* watch is so high quality that even the authorised dealer had trouble tellling the difference. I feel its truly worth the money.
Thanks for the test, I've just bought that green dial Patek-wannabe, it looks great on video! Hopefully it will look nice in real life as well. I think I have almost a 100 watches just from Aliexpress, there are so many cool ones at great prices! And they're mostly okay quality, if you keep your expectations on this price level. But a good tip: always clear the case with a Q-tip after wearing them, because your wrist-sweat can harm the case coating on these cheap ones... That last one would indeed look much much better without that ugly black rectangle insert... without that I'd probably buy that as well. Maybe they'll change it one day...
MAMACOO is one of my favorite watch manufacturers they do offer beautifull dials, good workmanship & moovements.That smooth sweeping second hand is truly mesmerizing！
I work as a baker in south america , so i cant spend too much money in watches, but i like them. Casio and other brands here are expensive, so i Google and found Aliexpress watches, now i have 2 digital sandas, 1 digital skmei, 1 escapement time, 1 addiesdive, 1 saphero and 1 tomi, and waiting for a digital synoke and a digital ohsen . The escapement time and the addiesdive are the ones i wear for special events. They look beautiful. Greetings from Peru
I’ve been watching ur videos for awhile now never knew u was from Brighton congrats on what you’ve done big Inspiration for someone in love with watches and from the same city 😊
My favorite 2024 is the Prospex Limited Edition 1965 Recreation European Exclusive in Gradation Island Blue. The dial is stunning and the contrast when on a white strap is to die for. I will get my hands on one from AMZWATCH
Been watching your videos for a while now and was inspired to start a collection. Started with the amzwatch, its specs for price and clean looks, now am looking for a dress watch to add.
Thanks for your hard work and creative approach! Cheap watches are definitely interesting. It's always amazing when manufacturers put so much in one product cutting corners and spending the budget in the most effective way they could think of. More expensive watches can't deliver so much value for money as a good cheap watch so they are just safe boring options that just barely meet expectations. Watches are not THAT complicated they tell us. They are not microprocessors that could only be made in like one or two places on the whole planet. Throwing money in watches reach the quality and coolness limit fast enough. Like $300-$1000 would buy a good watch but paying more would result in getting a useless fancy toy with brand stories which keeps time bad since it's hard to create something smart and technological and it's easy to just sell XIX century technologies and traditions.
This is the first video of yours I've ever seen, pretty different to the majority of RUclips watch review channels. The reality is, there's a load of cheap shite on Ali Express. But there's also some really good stuff, especially San Martin, Baltany etc. If I compare my Seiko Prospex to my San Martin diver, there isn't 800 quids worth of difference. BTW, Moon Biffy is my new fave Chinese brand name 😅
Cinematic reviews of ali express watches? Elliot my man, you've outdone yourself on this one. Absolutely brilliant.
Good fun isn't it!
Love it, it's a great idea TBH
The gayest watches out there ngl. Fugly!
Yeah it was fun

san martin, adiesdive, steeldive, bliger, phylida, bodery, ... so nice.
That price i would just go for a casio
50$ more and you get a Seiko...
@@HeinzWillhelm With inferior mineral crystal and subpar finishing. San Martin makes Seiko look like crap.
Why would u ever buy that when u could by a seiko or citizen. Logo is also a rip off of tag heuer.
The part when you went out and asked people what they thought it costs reminds me of the video when you asked people about the long gameboy :)
We need more common folk reactions to Elliot in the wild 😂
looool same
But can the watch run Fortnite?
That boxing skit, was everything.
Glad you enjoyed :)
You should do a follow up where you look at a couple AliExpress watches in the $50-100 price range.
@@OmairArif I agree. There are a lot of good watches in this price range.
Buy some citizen or casio at that price tbh
@@sinuosalice-1434 you'd be surprised at the quality of AliExpress, especially if you boost the budget to the $200 range. You get quality on par with Citizen or Seiko watches worth twice the price.
@@sinuosalice-1434 they are way better than a casio or a beaten up old citizeen
@@sinuosalice-1434where are you finding an automatic Citizen or Casio for under $100?
I like your watch videos. You should make more. Especially the ones where you build high quality customs in an affordable way.
More to come!
Honestly, for someone just getting into watches, Aliexpress is a great way to try out a load of different styles, sizes, colours, complications etc for very little money, to see what you actually like before you splash the cash on a big watch purchase that you might end up having some regrets about.

True
The last one is modeled after citizen cq-100, including the off center plate that read "citizen quartz"

That deflated "Ah, China." lol
0:19 I actually fell for this bc i am on mobile- i usually dont fall for these
ok thanks fir sharinfe
@@neuronaljunctiondecay5673 no, thank YOU for sharinfe!
I am so baked, I saw the second watch introduction and I thought it was an original Cartier watch ad for a second 😂 goddamn this shit is strong
That boxing skit was about 10x the amount of effort and production quality I'd expect from a video about cheap AliExpress watches. AND the joke worked too.
The frog-green Crash assault-on-the senses is something special. I was particularly entertained by the non-functioning dive bezel. Genius!

It’s not only unboxing which gets really boring
Love the interviews and the action alone with it
The in depth reviews, the B roll, the English presenter, and the sarcasm.. I feel like I just watched an episode of watch top gear. Lol great vid.

That end card got me. Good stuff
Outstanding video.I have to go with the AMZWATCH, especially with that green dial as my favorite
Fun video! Always recommended to rinse a watch after swimming - sea or pool...
Thank you for making high quality videos!Love AMZWATCH ’s watches
I love watching your videos and MAMACOO to keep myself updated on the world of watches
that was incredible. what a beautiful watch and what great work you did on it!I love MAMACOO watch!! Dream watch! Everytime I wear it, makes me feel amazing!
MAMACOO！Every time you exhibit one of these watches I become super tempted to get one.
These last vids have been so quality man!
Thank you so much I really appreciate that.
Love your channel with so many stellar watches! For me the MAMACOO’ watch is my favorite. Keep the videos coming. Thanks.

Outstanding video.I have to go with the So you might as well choose *amzwatch* , especially with that green dial as my favorite
Here’s an idea: could you mod them in order to elevate their quality? Like changing the movement,,or bracelet or case or whatever?
Awesome cinematography man cheers
0:35 I mean, if it had a visible better quality, i wouldn't mind using it as a fancy and expensive watch lmao
Found out about your channel because of watch making! I hope theres more to come!
I liked this format, enjoyed the scenes recorded in the exterior.
do a part 2 of this its so funny 😂
The green “diver” should be branded the Salvador Dali.
God!!! amzwatch Who would have thought those gorgeous watches go for that low!!!
The second hand on the black Seiko homage has come loose shipping. The movement is fine you just need to press the second hand back on.
You do fine in buckets!! You slayed the whole vid!!
Thank you for introducing me to Iso Indies. These guys are amazing!
The Crash still has protective film on the bezel insert.
Subscribed because I appreciate you risking cholera to bring us helpful watch reviews!!
This video made my day. Absolutely loved it, fantastic job Elliot.
Thank you very much I appreciate that!
Great video. I'm just starting my watch channel and this is goals!
Nice to see you scraping the bottom of the heap. Next swipe at the $20 mark would be interesting.

my man goin all out with
the skit for cheapo watch review. keep it up.
bro this video needs more views 😂 ur a gem bro
There is also an original of the crashed Submariner by Laarvee. It costs £513
Cartyheir? Best pronunciation of cartier i’ve ever heard
This was a fucking great video. You have got to do more of these. I was thoroughly entertained. Well done sir.
I'm genuinely impressed with how close amzwatch were able to replicate every aspect of this very very goofy looking classic watch.
I love your new watch content its amazing

Been watching your videos for a while now and was inspired to start a collection. Started with the amzwatch, its specs for price and clean looks, now am looking for a dress watch to add.
As a Spanish speaker, I've gotta say, that whole "ree-loj haw-mbreh" caught me off guard and it made me laugh.
same here lol, made me laugh pretty hard
@@Lichohedge same haha ree lodge
When people are saying #amzwatch is a better option for buying a watch,I very much agree!
When I saw the green watch on your wrist I just mentally wrote it off as a Casio and didn't give it a second thought. Very interesting
FOSLN QUARTA.
I do like it. Damn you plastic rectangle.
Great video!
Steeldive is an absolute tank and quality of a watch from Ali! I paid £48 all in and it’s amazing.
super nice format
Loved this video! Would love to see you recreate some Ali express watches but in better quality or something like that!
The Sanda classic tank watch went for the kill!
Please, i want part two of this video :D
I love the watch content!
The last watch is akin to the Rado Voyager, just that black design is like a fly on top of your perfect meal.
I really needed that waterproofing test you did at 12:12 .
Say, can you do the same test for all the other watches you built so far?
Super funny video man 🤣
I like the watch I got from MAMACOO. That rubber strap combo looks really cool! Been wearing it since last year and love every minute of it.
Come for the Super Cub videos, stay for the watches.
