Are benyar watches any good??
Came across this Tudor homage by the brand benyar on Amazon a few months back and it looks great,
Movement- Chinese PTS movement
Crystal- Mineral
Water resistant- 10ATM
Case- Alloy
Price- 3100 rupees, $37
Now for $37 dollars if you are getting an automatic watch, homage of Tudor black bay and pelagos I thought it maybe a good idea to buy it,
But after 3-4 days of placing the order I don't think it's a good idea cause
1- Quality Control of these benyar watches are shit, though reviews have been 50/50 some received good watches which works even after a year of use and some received broken watches or their watch broke after some weeks/months of use.
2- Do I really need to satisfy my urge of buying an automatic watch by getting this cheap Chinese homage ?? Which may or may not even last me a year
3- even though the price is cheap I can save up for some other good quality watch or just buy a citizen quartz for $50
I know homage watches have been a complicated topic in the watch world but this is no pagani whom I can trust,
What do you guys think of this? Should I get it and see what happens ? Or just cancel the order and save for a good automatic watch ?
I think you know the answer.
just buy a citizen quartz for $50
The Casio Duro for $50 all day long
Cheap quartz doesn't do anything for me, I'd rather keep the cash.
FWIW my £30 Benyar has kept between -1/+3 on the wrist each time I've worn it. I got lucky.
If you are comfortable with the price and expectations that it may not make it more than a few months, yes. Otherwise, avoid. I would put zero trust in any water resistance claims. I wouldn't be surprised if the power reserve wasn't a full day either. It will probably look very impressive for the price though.
Do not buy that crap copy of a watch!
