Wes, I will never understand why this channel doesn't get more views. Your videos are all excellent, and you cover the part of the market that most RUclips gurus ignore or disparage. They consider a budget watch to be "under $1,000" and you think in terms of "under $100." The truth is, there has never been a time when so many very good watches were available for so little money. It really is amazing at how much value they can pack into a $40 watch today.
I agree, I think a lot of people might be thinking it is too good to be true, but once they try a few of these watches they'll realise there's a lot of enjoyment yo be had for not much money. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before people start opening up to budget options, and probably some of the other TimeTubers will start to review them too
Nice list! I can vouch for Tandorio and Poedagar. I have a Tandorio diver watch with a pearl dial and it would be perfect if it had a better lume. If any of you like the Tandorio diver with MOP dial, there's a Thorn diver with the same black/white MOP dial, but they claim to have C3 lume (for 2-3 times the price, mind you). I have another, ahem, "luxury men's watch" with a sunburst green dial, golden bezzel and a silver-gold bracelet from Poedagar I bought for fun, since it was like 11$ and so far it works perfectly well. The downside: the bracelet makes a "funny" sound, unlike a "clicking" of a stainless steel bracelet. Other than that, it's a great looking watch with a nameless but accurate quartz mechanism. Oh and it's very light, I just hope it doesn't stop working after a month.
Hey Wes awsome overview mate ! I have ordered a few from your list & have given a couple of the quartz Addiesdive Rolex Homages as gifts . My friends were blown away with the quality of these watches for the price . Cheers
Always good, always taking care of us cheaper watch collectors. You are fast becoming my favourite watch channel...your reviews are concise and to the point, thank you Wes. Another cheaper brand that is worth looking at is North Edge, I just discovered them during this sale...good value as well.
A decade from now. Watch from ali express will become like the normal watches replacing casio and g g shocks which is great as they are high quality. I hope they don’t creep up few years from now. As they are being naturally advertised for free by being affordable. I will not be surprised if casio and seiko will halved their revenues on their own designs in the next few years. Chinese already copied the nh35 movement and claims they are nh35 we don’t see it because they are identical.
Hi Wes, great video. Only recently discovered your channel and am really enjoying your content, I bought a Mini Focus chrono after seeing your unboxing. Big fun for little money! On a separate note I do wish that Addiesdive would offer sterile dial options, their name looks ok on a diver but awful on other styles. Thank you and keep up the good work.

Fantastic selection Wes, well done !!! Great examples of how one can have very nice watches without having to spend a lot of cash.
Glad you enjoyed it 😊

Nice, gift 🎁 away.. spread the word🔥
Excellent timely selection Wes!
It’s interesting how my price increases on the AXapp on my phone vs my web price on my ipad…sometimes $30+ more!
Yeah.. the platform tries to pull out max dosh..lol😆
Ali Express has such a huge range, a curated list like this really helps to narrow down the search process; nice work!
Glad it was helpful!

Great line up Wes. Yeah really like the field watch feel of this lot. Baltany do a great military homage watch but they're in the double digits.
Agreed 💯 Bs are very nice.. but prices do bite
Thanks so much for doing this 'Super Budget' video, I love seeing your choices...
Thx for watching 👍
Excellent vid. I'll be checking out the reviews and maybe picking up a couple of these!
