There's no such thing as a design patent. Patents are only for technical innovations, and they have a limited shelf life. I want great innovations to end up in more watches. There is trade dress, which protects the Royal Oak in the US for example (established by lawsuit). But a design is really free for all if the company doesn't bother to protect it.

[@chrismcdonald6942]

@@johnanth you're wrong. In the United States, a design patent is a form of legal protection granted to the ornamental design of a functional item. Design patents are a type of industrial design right. Ornamental designs of jewelry, furniture, beverage containers and computer icons are examples of objects that are covered by design patents. Trade dress usually refers to packaging, or distinct colours used. It's not only doubtful, but proven that trade dress doesn't apply to something like the design of the submariner or ap royal oak as there are so many homages that are not being litigated.

[@HSalamista]

One other remark: The particular choice was not a lucky one. Try to stack up a Tisell, San Martin, Steel dive, Proxima and Pagani Design (not this Pagrne…) against the watches they are imitating and what you will find is, that they do a pretty decent job in scratching that itch for a DJ or a Sub or a high end Seiko. And for the Seiko part: They use Sapphire (not hardlex) and they are aligned, which Seiko fails to deliver :-( So for a fraction of a price you get a well made watch with a reliable Seiko movement.

[@DarthMalaks_Missing_Lower_Jaw]

Nevermind that they steal other companies’ designs. We found the fake watch wearer in the group!

[@Entertainer114]

@@DarthMalaks_Missing_Lower_Jaw at the end of the day, my reaction to your comment is: who cares? The majority of humans out on the street don’t pay attention to watches. Probably 98% of passersby won’t know any luxury brands (besides Rolex), much less recognize any original and iconic (to us geeks) designs. So I say: let people wear what they want on their wrists. I have a fake Nautilus (which I’m wearing right now ha). I’ve owned it for a year now, and the only person who noticed it was a fellow watch enthusiast I hung out with… yesterday. So yeah, no one cares what I’m wearing. I also own a (real) Orient Bambino, and a Seiko Alpinist which I love too. So I appreciate many affordable designs by reputable brands in my price bracket. But while I own those, I won’t begrudge anyone who wants to see what it “feels like” or might “look like” to own a luxury piece they’d otherwise never allow themselves to splurge on. It doesn’t harm anyone. It also doesn’t affect the market share of giants like Patek or Rolex, since they limit the number of pieces they pump into the market anyway, and small-time potential buyers (like me) could’ve never gotten one of those anyway. It’s fun to wear my fake Nautilus because nobody in my life cares what it is, and I can get to see what it looks like on my wrist :)

Great review. I enjoy learning about these knockoffs of drastically overpriced pieces. In case you didn't know "genuine leather" is not a good thing. It's a grade of leather as opposed to what it seems like it would be. It's the plywood equivalent where there's scraps of leather mixed with (in essence) saw dust then glued and press-heated into form. It will decay quickly, especially with any moisture. If you want a good leather look for "top grain" or "full grain"

[@herewegoagain...]

Your self awareness regarding your own Seiko homage is inspiring. I have always felt that those who look down on homages and "clomages" to be a bit silly: most watches borrow heavily from others, and we can't all buy a Rolex Submariner or Daytona. It is also highly convenient to have a cheaper version of your main watch that you can bang around. That said, the thing the haters all say does have some truth to it: if you are buying an homage to cure the itch for the real deal, it will only work for a little while. You will ultimately seek out the watch you really want.

Really? I bought the "Aquaracer" lookalike last year from AliExpress for 86$ including shipping. I can't see how anyone would call this a "not inconsiderable price"...

No one is forcing you to wear a watch that's "too large" in your eyes! Try being 6'6" with a 23 cm wrist, like myself and your too big watches look like a child's watch on my arm! My normal watch is a 47 mm, but I have a few that venture into the low to mid 50 mm watches. But I actually have the wrist to make it look normal! And my wife loves my larger watches, and says the smaller watches look like an old grandpa's watch! I tend to agree with her! If I had that kind of cash laying around in a 401 k ...there are a couple of IWC's pilot's watches I would love to own. But that's about it! Rolex's...I have had 2...I didn't like either one.

Given the low purchase price that makes most of these a decent proposition for people who think spending four figures plus on a watch is a bit extravagant

[@kaunas888]

The prices on most of these are actually pretty high considering that they are no name Chinese watches. For those prices one can buy nice watches from decent micro-brands or even the established brands.

[@watch_drives_you]

I tend to disagree. I bought quite a few watches from AliExpress and almost all of them cost well below 200$. The Aquaracer lookalike from the video cost me well below 100$ including shipping. And the bang for the buck is quite good actually. Sapphire crystal, ceramic bezel insert, solid links and endlinks, a milled clasp... I don't know a microbrand where you get all of this for such a low price let alone a well established watch company. Try getting a Seiko with sapphire crystal and a decent bracelet for under 500$ and you'll know what I mean. Surely these watches are all "heavily inspired" if not plain copy's of more famous watches but they are certainly worth the money in terms of quality. If you really want a extraordinarily well made and just as well specd watch look at San Martin. I will say you are hard pressed to find a better watch for a similar price.

If she gets lucky and gets a San Martin without any problems, she might be impressed by them. Personally, I own 5 San Martin Watches, every single one of them have problems. Misaligned bezel inserts, Misaligned cyclops, an unhealthy SW200 movement in one of them, and almost all of them the crown is wobbly and the stems are not cut to the proper length. Oh, I also have the Vintage 38mm diver, the lume on the hands has deteriorated within months of owning it. It was like pulling teeth to get them to simply send me a new set of hands. As for the SW200 movement, I put it on the time Grapher and it was at -40 seconds a day, I opened up the case back to see it was advanced some, I maxed it out and now it's at -22 seconds a day. When unscrewing the crown, it doesn't automatically let you wind it, you have to pull the crown out a little to get it to catch.

The blue paint on the crown is just a protective layer that scratches off with a fingernail pretty easily. I build my own watches by buying the different parts (movement, case, dial, hands) and putting them together. The crowns on steel cases usually have the blue paint for some reason. I think it is just protection, but it could also be how the manufacturer indicates that the case has been inspected or something.

Hi Jenni, a very interesting video. For something that may give you a low cost guide to how the real thing might look is an interesting point. It's also good that your review was based on the watch and not a preconceived view of cheap homage watches. These watches are built to a low price and if looks is all you are after that may be fine.

Based on the price limitations you were operating under, many of these were not the best brands of homage watches. The Cadisen was probably the best, and they actually have some watches that are not homages. If you go to Amazon and look up San Martin, they are very good, though more expensive. They often win lume competitions on watch channels, have water resistance from 200m to 1000 m, and offer high beat movement options, such as the ST 5000, or the Sellita SW 200 Swiss movement. They quite often out perform micro brands at 1/2 to 2/3 the price. You can check out I Like Watches or Just One More Watch for San Martin reviews, though many channels have reviewed them. I like them.

[@claytonberg721]

I own a tissel hulk. miyota 9015, decent bezel action, good lume, and for me anyways, most of all they aped the glide lock clasp as well. Good value for $240, I may get their explorer homage as well. I own a couple grand seikos, a speedy and a seamaster (the previous glossy dial version). Is the tissel a luxury watch, no. Is it good value for $240, yes. I wear it a shocking amount.

[@larrycookson4681]

Agree with your San Martin comments. And actually since your original comment, the quality and design of their recent models have continued to improve.

[@Tdr-jv2nc]

Hey Jenni, another great video 👍🏻 what are your thoughts on Shinola?

[@lonelyislander8760]

Let's be honest. Not everyone could afford luxury watches. I think these watches are fine not because of their brand but because the built quality and materials for the price. Seiko can't even provide that kind of price with the same specs.

[@mstcrow5429]

What about Casio?

[@conyo985]

Homages are not fakes. People who say so are snobs.

[@My_Work_Here_is_Done..]

True, they’re just unimaginative shit

[@neildcosta5932]

Thank you Jenni. Very nice overview.

[@mattcameron9349]

Having purchased a couple of Steeldive watches, I am stunned by the specification and value for money.

[@daleclark3138]

I have several Pagani design homages that are quite nice in the US$80 to 140 range, ie Planet Ocean, Seamaster, Yachtmaster with NH35 movements plus my favorites, a couple of PD-1664 Daytona Everose homages with Seiko VK63 mechaquartz movements. Being retired any of the Omega or Rolex originals are beyond what I could ever afford but I can enjoy wearing a nice homage just as much as an original for a tiny fraction of the cost and no worries about damage or loss Good review and hope you are staying away from the anti health C19 vax

[@andrewts2067]

Please, make a review of your Seiko 'Tank'. There're just a couple of half good reviews out there

[@Northanteus]

I just bought an *Invicta Pro Diver 8928OB* for $45 (US). It is amazing for the price! My bezel has NO play whatsoever! Try getting one and doing a review! ☺️ It has Seiko NH35A movement! I am watch newb, so I am playing it safe by going cheap, to test the waters. 😁 I am satisfied so far! ☺️ You gave very fair reviews for these watches. They are actually amazing for such small price to pay!

[@zcornholio420]

The NH35 and 36 movements are awesome workhorses for the money, I can dial one in to +-2 sec on my chronograph. The movements don't need work very often and I'd rather have a homage any day with thousands in my pocket then on my wrist. Plus I don't need to worry about being robbed with a homage watch on, I can wear it anywhere and leave my money in the bank where it's safe.

[@jameslester6785]

Jenni, be very careful when posting a video like this. There are other KZbin channels that have been taken down for using trademark brand names in conjunction with homage watches. Gary at I Like Watches has experienced this. He has done several videos on the subject which you might find helpful.

[@martinc.720]

I'm pretty confident she is fully aware...

[@technosworld2]

Several channels got hit recently, it's getting bad

[@trentschofield8494]

She didn't post watches"pretending"to be a different brand. These are homage under different makers and do not violate copyright or patent

[@jameslester6785]

@@trentschofield8494 KZbin doesn't view it that way. If you watch Gary on I like watches you will see what I'm talking about.

We’ve all heard of the quartz crisis, but not sure what this is. These beauties are too hilarious to take serious, and don’t get me started on pronouncing some of their names. Thanks for the video, which really cheered me up. 😆👍

Thanks Jenni for that video

[@chrispenn715]

There are hundreds of 'homage' watches available - some of them are very well made (as mentioned in some of the other comments) Ironically, many of the homages use Seiko movements and are better built than Seiko's own watches......

[@kenweller2032]

True. The better SKX007 homage watches are better all-around than the original. In fact, they resemble upgrade mods popular with owners of the Seiko.

[@EEE_MMM]

I would prefer one of these "tributes" over the actual fakes any day. That being said, I don't think they're for me though.

[@jonasnaeyaert3738]

The blue sticker on the crown of the Cadisen is a protective sticker. It comes of if you use a little Rodico or tape.

[@spitfire4047]

Jenni, great content and I love your flawless English accent 😍

[@migfed]

Jenni Elle is a brave woman. I love she wears the watches, there's no such a thing like male or female watches, just watches in several sizes. Regarding the main topic of the video a fully endorse her point of view.

[@djbenavit]

Thing is, for most of us, we may be lucky enough to own one luxury watch in our lifetime…but buying a homage watch gives you an opportunity to get some experience with different designs etc, that way you can really fall in love with a particular watch and make that watch your end goal! So I think that they are great!

[@mattwalter6207]

Exactly, they are good "test runs" to see what you actually like before spending thousands!

I own a pagani designs, a Tag Heuer, a steinhart and. Hamilton...the £50 pagani easily holds its own and it's nice knowing if I break it or lose it I won't b upset... Great watch for the money, holds perfect time too.

[@tracephoto1823]

As a die hard Nomos fan, I feel kind of sick that I don’t hate that copy. It’s obvious to a fan where the deficiencies are, but as a stand alone cheap alternative, it’s not bad. 😐😞😢

[@stuntmonkey00]

There was a similar homage a few years ago, "Rodina" and Sea-gull makes the same or similar. They are all probably the same watch

Awesome video Jenni, I think these watches even though they are knockoffs look better than fashion watches like Vincero and Movement just to mention a few. Can you make a video on Ingersoll 1892 watches? Thank you!
