    I was exactly the same so did a fair bit of lurking on r/chinesewatches to get some idea of what they’re actually like & what brands are worth taking a gamble on.

    Day to day, exactly same as any other watch i own, admittedly I’ve yet to take the plunge into automatics so I’ve only got quartz offerings from pagani & addiesdives but they’re all accurate to the second several months after purchase.

    they’re all very comfortable, bracelets are all decent enough quality, solid end links, micro adjustment & decent clasps.

    Build quality & details have so far been spot on, no imperfections & everything works/feels good.

    At the price point you won’t find an awful lot with the specs, £50-80, full stainless steel (no alloys), AR coated sapphire, solid end links, known movements, ceramic bezels, crazy good lume etc.

    I’m hesitant to order on aliexpress so i get them locally from ebay, any issues, i can return no hassles. although the ali prices are worth a shot being so cheap.

    I’ve got 3 chinese homages & no plans to stop there, specs alone they are worth it, just depends how you feel about homages, they get a fair bit of hate but i’m totally sold, price & spec, i just cant argue it.
