Is This Chinese Watch Worth $782.32??? | Code 41 Anomaly-01 50m Automatic Unbox & Review

[@SecondHourWatches]

I can say it probably cost around $90 to make, depending on the size of the order volume. Crazy retail pricing

[@kbeightyseven1783]

I hate everything about it, especially the price

[@MrBacchus18]

Yes I agree for that price you need at least a hacking movement. I guess at least they are doing a bit of a different design, unless it is a homage of something I'm not familiar with.

[@tiborvandermeer1293]

I've seen your review. Where do you get the watch from China? If you read the site carefully, they do not work with made in Swiss, but the watch consists of 90% parts from Switzerland. They are very clear about this on the site.

[@maverickwatchreviews]

Japanese movement/Made In China. There is nothing on their site about using 90% Swiss parts....lol.

[@Xentradi97]

@@maverickwatchreviews I got excited by the design, made in Swiss, price, then reading down and stopped at the movement part made me go "hold the phone."

For that price I'd rather buy a Seiko Presage or a vintage Grand Seiko Quartz.

[@jeffsnyder7322]

This will be on watchgang in a couple of months.

[@maverickwatchreviews]

Definitely...lol.

[@Cloxxki]

Of course it costs loads more than a run of the mill Seiko diver. So many proprietary parts. But hey, when you can't tell the time and the dial is a gimmick...all the rest of the value earning parts kind of goes out of the window.

[@a_z.tazzzfan8497]

You were pretty much spot on with this one 🤔 Not sure if I could bring myself to drop $150 on it. At the price they're asking; they should have put a genuine Sea-Gull Tourbillon movement in it. Had to laugh when you showed the "Bridge to Nowhere"😂. Still, not as bad as the fake Tourbillon you reviewed a while back. I'm okay with the weight as I have over 20 watches >300g. Unless I'm in a formal setting, I like to know I'm wearing a watch.

[@maverickwatchreviews]

Thanks and I definitely agree. This thing is a rip off.

[@RampartPh]

i think i like the other models of the code41 guys. i just don't know if it's affordable.

[@nigelh3253]

I thought the design looked pretty unique from the pics/ video, but I'm not in the market for an $800 watch. Plus if I was, I'd like to see the watch and try it on. Does it suit? Re pricing, if you pay a lot (well quite a lot) for something, it must be good! Obvious, isn't it. They should just stamp 'Made in China' on the back and see what that does to the price.

[@maverickwatchreviews]

Exactly. I have never seen such a con job by a watch manufacturer before.

[@dirk3029]

Hello from Germany, I bought the watch and the design is very beautiful. First of all, everyone has to decide for themselves. But I've often asked myself, what makes a watch expensive and famous? If you say the watch is too expensive, what would be a fair alternative in your opinion? At the moment I am personally not willing to spend more than 1000 EUR on a watch. What would you recommend? Are there any insider tips? And why are there no used watches from Code41 to buy on ebay or something? Thank you for your answers, tips, insults, etc.! ;-)

[@rickj8859]

€250 would be a good price. There are number of good Swiss, or Gerrman made watches on the market for similar money.

[@pokie6087]

@@rickj8859 Give me an example of a Swiss made watch at that price point. Idiot

[@TarrelScot]

Looks like a good excuse to be late for work. "Aw, sorry boss, I misread my watch. Thought it said 7.30."

[@j.harbottle8928]

Respect to you for doing this review - keep em coming :)

[@maverickwatchreviews]

Much appreciated!

[@themississippikidful]

Definitely hard to read and definitely not worth 700 bucks ! It just looks way to busy in the area between the 3 and 9 . Thanks for the review 👍

[@maverickwatchreviews]

Totally agree

[@poppad1187]

One of those SevenFriday specials. Same idea , Same open heart Miyota movement and strange design for a foolish price. I can think of so many timepieces that completely blow this watch out of the water for that price. So I am feeling the same way as yourself.

[@maverickwatchreviews]

Well said!

[@rikkidee]

I'll pass. Even with the 10% discount card. Thanks anyway.😁

[@chengbindong6536]

I am a Chinese and I don't know this brand! 😂😂 where did you buy this ? there are many companies in China making watch with imported movement.....

[@jamess8175]

At US$782, you are paying for transparency of origin, not for the watch. Transparency is indeed expensive. What a shame!

[@marcelodietrich8674]

For a timepiece, it's pointless & not pleasing to the eye. For a piece of art, it's pointless & not pleasing to the eye. Thank you for your very accurate honesty. I concur absolutely.

[@maverickwatchreviews]

Well said!

[@ryanstafford8544]

Not my cup of tea either. I do like the lug design from the standpoint that it is different.

[@mikecr5831]

250$ is maximum price

[@richardtreem1992]

I’m confused. You said Chinese made, but I’m pretty sure Miyota is Japanese, owned by Citizen.

[@maverickwatchreviews]

It's made/assembled in China with a Japanese made Miyota movement.

[@richardtreem1992]

Aaah okay, thanks!

[@l.richmondchilds9548]

Your spot on.....

[@maverickwatchreviews]

Thanks :)

[@oliviersalord7711]

They say you would pay $20,000 for a comparable watch on the Swiss horology market so their price is fair! 😂

🤣

[@primitiv114]

I think it was to harsh but thats just me

[@craig2100]

Ummm.nice try. This is a lot of marketing to pump up a $150-200 watch

[@mvjmiranda]

I think you were too harsh. If a company is going to GIVE you a watch for review, at least have the courtesy to show it on the supplied bracelet and try it on.

[@maverickwatchreviews]

Thanks for your opinion.
