      There's no such thing as a design patent. Patents are only for technical innovations, and they have a limited shelf life. I want great innovations to end up in more watches. There is trade dress, which protects the Royal Oak in the US for example (established by lawsuit). But a design is really free for all if the company doesn't bother to protect it.

      @@johnanth you're wrong. In the United States, a design patent is a form of legal protection granted to the ornamental design of a functional item. Design patents are a type of industrial design right. Ornamental designs of jewelry, furniture, beverage containers and computer icons are examples of objects that are covered by design patents. Trade dress usually refers to packaging, or distinct colours used. It's not only doubtful, but proven that trade dress doesn't apply to something like the design of the submariner or ap royal oak as there are so many homages that are not being litigated.

    Great review. I enjoy learning about these knockoffs of drastically overpriced pieces.
    In case you didn't know "genuine leather" is not a good thing. It's a grade of leather as opposed to what it seems like it would be. It's the plywood equivalent where there's scraps of leather mixed with (in essence) saw dust then glued and press-heated into form. It will decay quickly, especially with any moisture.

    One other remark: The particular choice was not a lucky one. Try to stack up a Tisell, San Martin, Steel dive, Proxima and Pagani Design (not this Pagrne…) against the watches they are imitating and what you will find is, that they do a pretty decent job in scratching that itch for a DJ or a Sub or a high end Seiko. And for the Seiko part: They use Sapphire (not hardlex) and they are aligned, which Seiko fails to deliver :-(
    So for a fraction of a price you get a well made watch with a reliable Seiko movement.

      @@DarthMalaks_Missing_Lower_Jaw at the end of the day, my reaction to your comment is: who cares? The majority of humans out on the street don’t pay attention to watches. Probably 98% of passersby won’t know any luxury brands (besides Rolex), much less recognize any original and iconic (to us geeks) designs. So I say: let people wear what they want on their wrists. I have a fake Nautilus (which I’m wearing right now ha). I’ve owned it for a year now, and the only person who noticed it was a fellow watch enthusiast I hung out with… yesterday. So yeah, no one cares what I’m wearing. I also own a (real) Orient Bambino, and a Seiko Alpinist which I love too. So I appreciate many affordable designs by reputable brands in my price bracket. But while I own those, I won’t begrudge anyone who wants to see what it “feels like” or might “look like” to own a luxury piece they’d otherwise never allow themselves to splurge on. It doesn’t harm anyone. It also doesn’t affect the market share of giants like Patek or Rolex, since they limit the number of pieces they pump into the market anyway, and small-time potential buyers (like me) could’ve never gotten one of those anyway. It’s fun to wear my fake Nautilus because nobody in my life cares what it is, and I can get to see what it looks like on my wrist :)

    Your self awareness regarding your own Seiko homage is inspiring. I have always felt that those who look down on homages and "clomages" to be a bit silly: most watches borrow heavily from others, and we can't all buy a Rolex Submariner or Daytona. It is also highly convenient to have a cheaper version of your main watch that you can bang around. That said, the thing the haters all say does have some truth to it: if you are buying an homage to cure the itch for the real deal, it will only work for a little while. You will ultimately seek out the watch you really want.

      I tend to disagree. I bought quite a few watches from AliExpress and almost all of them cost well below 200$.

      I don't know a microbrand where you get all of this for such a low price let alone a well established watch company. Try getting a Seiko with sapphire crystal and a decent bracelet for under 500$ and you'll know what I mean. Surely these watches are all "heavily inspired" if not plain copy's of more famous watches but they are certainly worth the money in terms of quality.

And my wife loves my larger watches, and says the smaller watches look like an old grandpa's watch! I tend to agree with her!

      Also, if Seiko had a problem with Steeldive offering a nicer watch for $85 than they are offering for $1200, Seiko would devote themselves to quality control and do something about misaligned bezels and indices and poorly fit end links before they leave the factory.
      My Steeldive Willard has been “on the way” for almost a month now, but hopefully it will arrive this week. I’m looking forward to it.

    I've got a few watches with NH35/6 movements, basic, yes but they all run at less than + 10 secs per 24 hours on wrist, a couple actually beat my ETA 2824/ Sellita SW200 movement watches which seem to be around +3-5 secs per 24 hours on wrist. Given the low purchase price that makes most of these a decent proposition for people who think spending four figures plus on a watch is a bit extravagant

    Even QC on Rolex brand watches have some issues (and hold back your watch warranty for 12 months). And don't think that high dollar mechanical Automatic watches do not have problems keeping time with the watch having to be sent back time after time to the authorised dealer to get it fixed (in house calibre that they wouldn't replace) until the owner just gave up and now the watch just resides in the back of a drawer.

    Hi Jenni, a very interesting video. For something that may give you a low cost guide to how the real thing might look is an interesting point. It's also good that your review was based on the watch and not a preconceived view of cheap homage watches. These watches are built to a low price and if looks is all you are after that may be fine. Functionality on the other hand is another point, grinding movements and duff bezels and I would guess that little or no effort has been given to regulation of the movement. Keep up the great content Jenni.

    These watches are from the second tier of recent Chinese watches. I would be interested in Jenni's opinion watches of the top tier from San Martin or Cronos. I have a Cronos GMT watch, which is a shameless knockoff of the Pepsi GMT Master, but it is of quite high quality, running about 4 sec/day slow with zero beat error for several months now. The better Chinese watches are in my opinion at least a match for low end Tissots or similar Swiss watches.

      If she gets lucky and gets a San Martin without any problems, she might be impressed by them. Personally, I own 5 San Martin Watches, every single one of them have problems. Misaligned bezel inserts, Misaligned cyclops, an unhealthy SW200 movement in one of them, and almost all of them the crown is wobbly and the stems are not cut to the proper length. Oh, I also have the Vintage 38mm diver, the lume on the hands has deteriorated within months of owning it. It was like pulling teeth to get them to simply send me a new set of hands. As for the SW200 movement, I put it on the time Grapher and it was at -40 seconds a day, I opened up the case back to see it was advanced some, I maxed it out and now it's at -22 seconds a day. When unscrewing the crown, it doesn't automatically let you wind it, you have to pull the crown out a little to get it to catch.

    The blue paint on the crown is just a protective layer that scratches off with a fingernail pretty easily. I build my own watches by buying the different parts (movement, case, dial, hands) and putting them together. The crowns on steel cases usually have the blue paint for some reason. I think it is just protection, but it could also be how the manufacturer indicates that the case has been inspected or something.

  • @raymondhouser5174

    Based on the price limitations you were operating under, many of these were not the best brands of homage watches. The Cadisen was probably the best, and they actually have some watches that are not homages. If you go to Amazon and look up San Martin, they are very good, though more expensive. They often win lume competitions on watch channels, have water resistance from 200m to 1000 m, and offer high beat movement options, such as the ST 5000, or the Sellita SW 200 Swiss movement. They quite often out perform micro brands at 1/2 to 2/3 the price. You can check out I Like Watches or Just One More Watch for San Martin reviews, though many channels have reviewed them. I like them.
