A New Contender For The Best ‘Super Affordable’ Pilot’s Watch On AliExpress?

[@ikeman5774]

Overall, a really good looking watch. Especially that blue dial, fantastic. I only see 3 problems, the Welly Merck written under the logo, the crown is too small, and the hour and minute hands need to be longer, especially the minute hand. It's still a good looking watch. Thanks Simon

[@WatchtheTime]

No problem mate. Many thanks for your observations and for watching 👍👍

[@WMWatch]

Nice of you to reply with noted possible improvements to Simon’s review on the post 👍 your company has good potential in this expanding value market. In addition to your noted responses, I would suggest going with JUST the WM icon and removing Welly Merck copy from dial faces. Ok on rear of case if you want name recognition but keep dial clean and simple. Less is more as some in industry are learning fast 🍻 cheers from USA

[@WatchtheTime]

Thanks for watching and taking on board my observations, means a lot and will undoubtedly make it an even better proposition to potential buyers 👍👍

[@gregtolley3455]

Id really like to see their sales figures pre and post name\logo change. Ive said for a while theres money in starting a marketing advisory company strictly for ali brands.

[@WatchtheTime]

Indeed there is mate. They’d do well to get some sort of consultation tbh 👍👍

[@tombayerl7442]

Nice watch, but the minute hand is way too short.

[@WatchtheTime]

It’s pretty well sized, it may look shorter given it extends quite some distance beyond the lumed section, which may be hard to see at times. I hope this helps 👍👍

Good review, but in a head-to-head with the Addiesdive MY-H2, which I bought with the very similar beautiful blue sunburst dial, it's a far 2nd. The Addies has similar bracelet but fully brushed with a fold-over clasp & micro adjustment & the lume is dive-watch level fantastic. I got mine for $51. I was skeptical wearing a 39mm on my 8 inch wrist, but the simple Flieger design and good lug-to-lug gives it great wrist presence. Also a legit 200m WR with a screw-down crown/caseback.

[@WatchtheTime]

I can’t disagree with that and I still don’t think there is a better value Pilot’s watch on the planet than that Addiesive. Enjoy man 👍👍

[@birdshenanigans8506]

I come from a Farming background and love the Welly name... ❤👍

[@WatchtheTime]

Very good mate 🤣🤣👍👍

[@RicardoValdes-r6w]

My dear friend I am not sold on this brand not in any of their models which I have reviewed with their online page on the web, generic inexpensive watch that is not likely to go far in space and time…. Thank you my dear friend for your fine character and excellent work..!!

[@WatchtheTime]

No worries mate. Many thanks for your honest assessment and feedback 👍👍

[@adk7962]

It’s a terrific watch, but I don’t think it’s enough to dethrone the Addiesdive. It’s similar to the Steeldive 1970. Just unbeatable. But like you said, I’m looking forward to WM’s future offerings. Thanks!

[@WatchtheTime]

I think you may be right mate, but it’s still a terrific offering and yes, their future offerings promise much 👍👍

[@BCallum]

I see people putting a hurt on the name "Welly Merck", but nothing much on "Rollstimi". I will take a Welly Merck name over Rollstimi any day. Cheers!!!

[@WatchtheTime]

I think Rollstimi is disastrous tbh and the only reason I haven’t said as much before is because I’ve never reviewed one. I completely agree with your point mate 👍👍

[@r377-g8w]

Love the blue and airplane on the back. Would have liked to have seen seiko movement, big onion crown and leather strap. Neil from Adelaide

[@WatchtheTime]

Great suggestions Neil, I’d go for all those changes too 👍👍

[@LordBurke]

Nice dial. I guess for the money, it was inevitable, but I really don't like push pins. As for the lume, utter bobbins.

[@WatchtheTime]

Yeah for the money, it’s par for the course tbh and as for the lume, I love you term ‘bobbins’ 🤣🤣👍👍

[@GoWatchRob]

That dial is smashing, doubtful on the WR with a push pull crown. It just seems more massive than what the specs would suggest. But great video, new sub from me.

[@WatchtheTime]

Am glad you like it generally mate and I really appreciate your support - thank you 👍👍

[@dunderhay9169]

That does look good, shame about the lume though. Good review 👍

[@WatchtheTime]

It is definitely a bit of a let down on what otherwise is a good watch 👍👍

[@stinkstank5177]

IWC Big Pilot clone is the look they are going for!

[@WatchtheTime]

Quite possibly mate 👍👍

[@TheProco2020]

Where did you get your wall clock from?

[@WatchtheTime]

Amazon mate. Very easy to find, just type is Seiko Clock 👍👍

[@adrianfernandonoya5196]

That WM165 made by Welly Merck even i dont buy pilot watches because i am not a fan of flieger wtaches i have to be honest and say Good WATCH at a GREAT PRICE.

[@WatchtheTime]

It sure is mate and I understand your perspective on pilots watches. Thanks for watching and Merry Christmas 🎄🎅🏼👍👍

[@Dave062YT]

Welly nice.Welly good.

[@WatchtheTime]

🤣🤣👍👍

[@scatterbrain9490]

Nice

[@WatchtheTime]

Am glad you like it mate 👍👍

[@gazzertrn]

£43 , wow .

[@WatchtheTime]

Am glad you like it mate 👍👍

[@drebarthelotte5712]

No lume means steeldive is the clear better watch still. Why do they even bother. Just call it pagani design watches. What a waist of time. Gosh Simon i can be more negative thats this.

[@WatchtheTime]

No problem man. You’re normally pretty positive and we’re all allowed to have watches we don’t like. Merry Christmas mate 🎄🎅🏼👍👍

[@moboei]

Hmm not feeling this one.

[@WatchtheTime]

No problem - thanks for your honest feedback 👍👍
