STOP! Before You Buy A Watch From AliExpress - Watch This!

If you are thinking of buying a watch from AliExpress watch this video before you do. I have bought lots of watches from AliExpress and never had an issue until now. Is cheapest always best? Always do your research and look at several stores or websites before making any purchase.

Hi welcome to Budget Watch Reviews! I look at watches below £200. Not everyone can afford watches that cost £100's or £1000's. So I look at watches that offer great value for money but hopefully still look great!
Small Print : Some of the links above are affiliate links. I am an Amazon and Aliexpress Associate. If you make a purchase after clicking one of the links I may get paid a small fee from those companies, however you won’t pay any extra for the product. Many thanks if you do buy something.
All watches are bought by myself unless specifically mentioned in the video.

You can easily re-glue it yourself. With it being brand new I know you shouldn't have to, but it is an option.

[@BudgetWatchReviews]

I decided to not send it back and intend to fix it, got to get some supergliue. Thanks for watching!

[@Tom_Kowalczuk]

@@BudgetWatchReviews migt be too late but instead of superglue better option is to use liquid cement type of the glue.

[@RobinhoodarrowsRHA]

Nooo not suoerglue, please

[@23727bgk]

Use Gorilla Super Glue gel. Just tiny drops on the bezel should work fine.

[@BudgetWatchReviews]

Exactly what I ended up using. Came out well too. Thanks for watching.

[@chrisr8112]

I bought a very cheap SKX homage from Ali express and the entire bezel came off, but when I contacted the shop, they sent me a new one. I have had some poor customer service from AE shops, but then I’ve had that from Curry’s and even Waitrose before…

[@BudgetWatchReviews]

I think I have been lucky with my purchases of Ali so not run into too many issues. Have just received a watch where the Chrono doesn't seem to work correctly though. Thanks for watching!

[@pdmotors5027]

Not a normal situation even at this end of the price scale, but not really a surprise, but easily fixable if you decided to keep it.

[@BudgetWatchReviews]

I did and I super glued it back on. Did a decent job, still to actually do this review. Need to bump it up the list! Thanks for watching!

[@paulelliott7493]

While it is a unfortunate circumstance for you,my experience with AliExpress has been positive,so far i have purchased 6 watches,and all have worked fine and i have had no quality issues,I understand that eventually i will probably be let down,but so far,so good.

[@BudgetWatchReviews]

I have had about 20 watches and bar one not turning up at all and getting a refund my experience has been massively positive. Have seen a few 'stores' come and go mind. Thanks for watching!

[@jasonbostock408]

Benyar are not great they were stating 2 watches I received were stainless steel both were not and both had QC issues I no longer use them

[@BudgetWatchReviews]

I have had a couple so far with no issues as I say, definitely worth bearing what you said in mind going forward. Thanks for watching.

[@notgray88]

Proxima, Steeldive, and San Martin all make very high quality watches sold on Aliexpress but they're gonna be more in the price range of $150-250 You always get what you pay for.

[@BudgetWatchReviews]

I am aware of those brands and am hoping to get some in soon.

[@georgehiphopforever]

San Martin,Steeldive,Phylida some of the great Ali brands.Chinese watches are getting better in quality every day,i havent any issue at all,they have great VFM.Known brands must stop increasing their prices because they will end soon from Chinese.

[@BudgetWatchReviews]

I am looking at Steel dive for the next sale, so might have one on order soon. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@WesWatchRoom]

Benyar have a bit of a rep for listings that aren't fully truthful, but had a few in the past and they've never been all that good. I personally now don't really recommend them to anyone. Nice job with the video

[@BudgetWatchReviews]

Noted, I appreciate your experience with them. Thanks for watching. Like the new channel BTW

[@WesWatchRoom]

@@BudgetWatchReviews others have had similar too, they seem to making the right improvements though. Thanks very much

[@deankirk8554]

My cronos pt5000 sub isn't bad

[@BudgetWatchReviews]

Not one I know but my overall experience with Aliexpress has been very positive. I did end up fixing the watch too. Thanks for watching!

[@marcelovasconcellos6067]

Yeah, Benyar, pretty bad. However, have had same issue from Addiesdive, got a refund and glued it back myself no problem,

[@BudgetWatchReviews]

I glued mine back on the other day and did a good job, so will end up doing the review of it now. Thanks again for watching.

[@rappers5719]

I do find it strange that so many of the watch reviewers on YT use Aliexpress. My concern is, that AE sell fake watches.

[@BudgetWatchReviews]

Yes your right AliExpress do sell fake watches and I have fallen foul of that before but now I steer clear of the big watch brands on there and just look at the Chinese brands. Thanks for watching.

[@RobinIrving-cr4ug]

Heck yeah I want a Tudor!!

[@Mizai]

i found $2 watches on aliexpress

[@BudgetWatchReviews]

I covered the cheapest watch on AliExpress previously, although there are several similar ones. It did let me down.

[@hectorcortez3888]

My problem with aliexspress, is that they take 4 ever to get 2 your home 🏡

[@BudgetWatchReviews]

Yes they do take a while. I do see more sellers doing 15 day delivery now to try and stand out from the crowd. Thanks for watching!

[@yiamas07]

Just glue it back on!

[@BudgetWatchReviews]

I did! Thanks for watching!

[@CBrasil1966]

Is $60 watch, what do you expect?😂

[@BudgetWatchReviews]

I expected better. Would you not expect that? Thanks for watching!

[@jackochainsaw]

I hate to say this, but you have bought a CCW. This means you get what you pay for. A Cheap Chinese Watch. I would have been more inclined to fix the chapter ring myself and put a better adhesive ring around it. You potentially might get the same issue with the replacement that Benyar sends you. I own a Lige watch, that is an Oyster Perpetual clone (albeit a very cheap version), it's an okay watch for £14. The crown is gritty and the date fish eye is wonky but it's very comfortable and keeps the time better than one of my significantly more expensive rotary watches.

[@BudgetWatchReviews]

I have decided to keep and fix the bezel insert. I get it is a CCW so I am not too upset. I have a couple of LIGE watches and do think they are good value for money. Reviews to come on those soon. Thanks for watching!

[@jackochainsaw]

@@BudgetWatchReviews Awesome, sounds like you've got it sorted. The Tudor clone looks pretty nice, I have to say. The Black Bay 58 is pretty expensive. I'm wearing my Lige as I type. I shall look forward to more of your content. Cheers.

[@BudgetWatchReviews]

@@jackochainsaw It is a nice watch so I was miffed when it broke but at the end of the day it cost me £30 or so. Thanks for the feedback I am hoping to get better with the editing as I go!

[@donaldoxley1222]

So my question to you is this. What's the problem ? You saved some money. Got what you wanted. Had a concern. The concern is being dealt with, at no cost to you. So l'll say it again. What's the problem ? Seems to me Ali Express and the seller have done a great job, end of.

[@BudgetWatchReviews]

The problem is cheapest is not always best. Because the seller is reputable on Aliexpress I am covered, there are plenty of sellers on Aliexpress who just set up a shop, sell some products then disappear. AS I say in the video, do some research before you buy. Thanks for watching.
