I would say this looks like economic warfare, but for that, it would have to be something of actual value. This is just a plain waste of resources for no good reason, and it's inconceivable that this price could cover the cost of materials, production and shipping at this price, let alone give them a profit margin as well. I'm genuinely disturbed by the existence of this thing, it represents something dark, and truly evil.

I just checked even Casio gshock is Sri Lanka is the equivalent of Hamilton watches. We have to stop watching the world through the prism of our comfortable lives. There is billions of other human being, outside of our internet microbubble hobbys and they’re pretty happy to enjoy aesthetically pleasing and affordable products. No one forces westerner to buy cheapo goods from all the way around the world. Besides, even in our society some people struggle to survive with ridiculous wage.

Xavier Ancarno finally someone notices this fact. Where I come from these type of watches ($1-$10) were standard wear for guys below 25. A Seiko quartz is considered a high-end luxury product, only a lucky few can afford them. I was 24 when I could first afford a ‘real watch’ (basically a watch not made of plastic), a $70 Fossil and I couldn’t have been happier. All my friends admired my watch. ‘Affordable watch’ means completely different to someone making $6 a day, someone making $60 a day, and someone making $600 a day.

[@Patrick-857]

@@Alias_Anybody I'm aware Chinese products are heavily subsidised, hence the economic warfare comment. I genuinely believe they aim to eradicate manufacturing in the West, and they're close to achieving that end. As for the level of automation involved, I'm fairly sure there's still a certain amount of labour involved. China has over a billion people and their lives are all but worthless to the Chinese government. It's a question of which is cheaper. An astounding amount of work is still done by hand there from what I understand. It's a combination of both really. But regardless, I don't think getting a watch of any quality for a dollar, from anywhere, shipped across the globe to your door is possible without something being terribly wrong, and I'm not sure making profit is the objective.

There is. Thru currency value manipulation. And all their shipping is fully subsidized. BUT the movement is probably robot made and the rest is made by piss poor peasants in the north where there's no industry and hence 1 shipping container of watches a month makes it down south on the train. So the watch size allows them to make them in a REAL poverty stricken area. Ahh hell. It's probably just prison labor in Xinjiang province. Another thing is that a lot of the wish stuff is REJECTED orders because they were made SO badly that they never leave china and not seeing a real photo on wish is the ONLY reason they get sold.

It's been a year since your comment, so you may have already discovered this on your own, but the Roman numeral IIII has been standard on watches for centuries, even on high end models. Out of curiosity I've looked into the reason, but can't find anything definitive, just various theories.

[@RobotMonkeytron]

Just go to straight to AliExpress, I'm sure that's where they get all of their product anyway. On there, there are a lot of good watches, though they're a tiny portion of what's on offer, so yeah, the odds aren't good buying at random. Pagani Design makes decent watches (though mostly homages, which will be a turnoff for many), the Loreo Diver is quite nice (though also completely unoriginal, admittedly), and they've got the official Seagull store, so that's cool. Basically, you get what you pay for, and on these sites, you'll find bottom-shelf crap that any store you'd recognize would be ashamed to carry and sell. There are gems in that mountain of crap, but skip the middleman, as I'm pretty sure Wish just buys from AliExpress.

Also, by 'You get what you pay for', I mean that all of the interesting watches I've gotten from here have been over fifty bucks. For less than that, just buy a Casio.

I think I'm the only person that doesn't have a problem with a $1 watch. It's a junk watch that will fall apart within a few months (the strap a bit sooner) but hey, for your young kids just wanting some bling, it's OK. I'd totally hit it with Lysol wipes first though. That is if I can ever find some in the store. 😉

I get bombarded with Wish ads on Facebook. I got a picture of a Jaquet Droz bird repeater yesterday and I was about half a second away from buying it just to see it, imagine getting a Jaquet Droz bird repeater for a couple hundred dollars! But I didn't and what you review here, I won't.

[@jrgen7144]

It hits the indexes much better than MVMT at least

[@appalachiangunman9589]

Which one is sharper, your knife or the edges on the watch?

[@carllange3950]

I purchased some Skmei, Megir and Sanda watches from Amazon/eBay to see how they were constructed and because some of them were homages to some Casio models I own. I thought Sanda was the bottom of the barrel, but I was mistaken. This fake chronograph is a new low. Besides some interesting novelty pieces, I cannot recommend buying any of these watches; unless you just want to prove to yourself how far superior Casio’s and Timex’s least expensive watches are compared to this junk. One of my Casio AE-1200 (Casio Royale) watches was only $16 on Amazon. You do not need to spend much money to buy extremely functional, well made watches; but you do need to be a little particular in brand choice.

[@naksan656]

A friend of mine once had a digital Skmei and it's a solid watch.

[@mickeyjohnson1137]

I believe Geneva watches were initially Swiss-made mechanicals in the 50's. Later, they were mechanicals assembled in Hong Kong with Swiss-made parts. Then, they went to cheap quartz powered watches and have been cheap watches since. If my research is incorrect, please let me know.

[@joshbuehler4994]

I totally scored this brand new Michael Kors chronograph watch for 80$ on marketplace and I found a newer one same watch going for around 280!

[@tunakann7629]

I think wish totally flexes on watch snobs when a wish watch looks literally just as good, and telks the time, all for 1$. There should NOT be a 5,000$ difference between a good enough fake and a genuine, imo watch people are ripping themselves off more

[@funckypickle77]

You have to review the watch with the fact that it's only $1 in mind. You can't have expectations for a $1 watch.

[@snwdwg1]

I use these for parts like hands,sometimes watch straps and the date window can be made square.repaint the dial throw the rest away

[@cobbler88]

A matte finish doesn't necessarily bother me that much, but there's a difference between matte and looking like construction paper. And cheap-ass metals and finishes regularly have reactions with a person's skin. I can't wear sunglasses with metal frames because they'll react with the skin on my nose where the rubber nose pieces touch the skin.

[@dobbinism]

Look everyone, we all know this watch is not up to much but bear in mind that there are still places on the planet where $1 is considered a tidy sum of money, so there is a market for these. Others buy these for attending music festivals, where they don't want to risk losing or damaging an expensive model, or they have manual jobs where the value of a watch is negligible. Personally, if I wanted a cheap watch, I'd buy a Casio F91W because it does exactly what it says on the packet.

[@a_z.tazzzfan8497]

DUDE!!! I'm watching this for the 5th time now. Totally hilarious 😂😆😹 Just realized I bought almost that same "chrono" over a decade ago on eBay. Mine had a grey dial. Must have been a drunk buy 😂. Totally forgot about that. I was so ticked when I saw that the sub dials and function pushers were fake, I buried it in my 🐈 litter box.🤭

[@ianjamieson3985]

Me too! Exactly the same circumstances right down to the disappointment of finding out the chrono was fake. I never wore mine either. I did unearth mine a couple of years ago when I moved house. It made me laugh but I haven't chucked it out yet.

[@3rdpig]

I bought that exact watch from Wish for $0 and $2 shipping. It hasn't arrived yet. I'm going to give it to a 6 years old kid. Also, you can get the Skmei watches from Wish and they're pretty decent. The Skmei 1456 is an all metal, square Gshock homage and for $15-20 it's a heck of a bargain. It's one of my favorite beater watches.

[@samdryden7944]

I'd say the numbers not fitting in the date window is the least concern when the whole watch is trash.

[@josephweiser3919]

I bought a Seiko skoo9 off wish a month and a half ago it's an automatic works great hand stops when u unscrew the crown and pull it out it's water resistant the sad thing witch is awesome and sad at the same time is I haven't had to reset the time at all since I've been wearing it and it is water resistant to but I didn't buy the cheapest one one there I spent$70 dollars on it the only thing I don't like is the pip sitting in the bezel insert but my only complaint so far after month and a half wear it everyday love it

[@supremechief12]

I don't care how bad is the watch. How is it possible to produce this "watch" and ship it to you from the other side of the world and still make a profit on it. Like how

[@26pacman71]

I was dying when you were going thru the specs! Specially when you pushed the chrono 😂 nice explorer btw👍🏼

[@richardb22]

Which watch on whish . Maybe not the $1.00 inc postage one . Did you press the crown to see if anything lit up ?

[@OffGridInvestor]

I see watches on ebay. Free shipping and they're basically 75 US cents to US $2.40. Quite a number. Even more under US$10. Good to impress your grandmother who can't see much anyway.

[@ericd454]

Can you review a watch in the 50 cent and lower range?

[@Infinitiivinen]

I bought about 26 euros "Seiko" From Wish just to check. It keeps time. The chrono push buttons dont work. The strap fell off third day. Looks good in the pictures and faraway, but metal is something cheap...

[@roberpic]

I wonder how many months it took for it to arrive?

[@Segafishy]

This watch suprised me a little, not that it was crap but the fact it's not go the usual cheapo diddy Quartz they use but then that could possibly be due to the date seeming to work on it. I've got a couple in my collection, a Soviet Tank commander thats a Vostok knockoff (came with a watch collection Mag in the UK) and one that I was given as christmas stocking gift that had a similar fakery with a Faux Seconds dial that acctually would have looked okish without it hence why its now in bits on my workbench for isolation experiments. Best/Worst cheap I've seen though is the Gameboy watch sold by Paledone, it costs or costed about the same as a Casio F91 but offered a fraction of the quality, while the PCB seems to be made for it the module isnt as it has you set the date despite lacking button to show it and the Alarm usually causes the thing to freak out and play the first level theme of Super Mario land over and over to which the manual directs you to short the watch out (I'm not kidding), it also eats CR2032s which is real disturbing.

[@guannan5085]

This watch is great, there is already wear and tear and patina before you even wear it! There is also a story behind that fake chronograph, they want to cut the middle man and give you a beautiful watch without even troubling yourself to use the chronograph

[@thetimeteller]

I LOVE faux patina, so honestly this is right up my alley. 😂🤣👍

[@greenalien8503]

We thought you'd like them since we thought you'd buy one more around the $25 or $30 dollar price point...

[@derekmark3847]

I legitimately could not stop laughing.

[@starfighterusscv-6693]

What's your opinion on IWC? Do you like Lum-Tec?
