Aliexpress watch

Hope its ok to post this here.

Im not talking about copies/replicas I mean homages similar to Parnis watches which.

I wouldn't mind picking up a cheap automatic off aliexpress just wondering does anyone have experience with them?

Cheers

I purchased an auto of gearbest for about 25 euros last year, was decent for the money but braclet had some sharp edges and the automatic movement didnt seem capable of keeping it going all the time.

Ive heard a brand called Cadisen that was supposed to be pretty good. I have also noticed the brand names can change from time to time so it makes it harder to search for watches that you may have seen reviews for 6 months ago.

These 2 guys have reviewed some chinese stuff -

I'm in the process of buying a sea-gull diver through them. I had a problem with the first order and cancelled it, and I was refunded within 3 days, no questions asked. So far my experience has been positive and both aliexpress and the shop have been very helpful. If you're buying, download the app and register, it's impossible to contact them otherwise.

It's worth keeping in mind that Aliexpress is a lot more like ebay. It hosts other sellers. So if you search for a watch you'll get a whole bunch of different sellers. You need to check their feedback and make a call on whether they are legitimate. I've never had an issue with orders from Aliexpress, but the above is worth keeping in mind.

Also, the 25 euro watch i got from gearbest came via Sweeden for some reason. Nothing in the description about it being drop shipped but worth taking into consideration.
