Alright guys,

So I'm James from the Honest Watch Reviews YouTube channel.

I do unboxings and reviews of budget watches and straps from AliExpress and various microbrands.

I only started collecting towards the end of 2018, but it's definitely become an obsession. So much so, that I started this channel. I don't claim to be an expert, I just try to do simple honest reviews. I hope you find them useful.

All the links to the watches and any other details are in the video descriptions.

This is just the latest lots of reviews, I have plenty more on my channel. Almost 200 in fact. I'll post some more of my favourites at a later date though.

Oh this place is going to love having you here.

Sorry about the ban. They have been very tolerant of me over the years at WUS, but for some reason others get the ban hammer.

I mark it up to what I believe is a horrible job trying to moderate that place. It’s getting more and more like Twitter and less and less like a reservoir of knowledge with knowledgeable members. 2010 or so the pros started dropping off and they’re almost gone. Now it’s about what you read and how loud you are, versus before it was about your many years of personal experience. That is almost gone.

Glad to see you over here. I come and go, but look forward to your reviews when I’m around.

I'm really hoping this wasn't sarcasm [emoji1696]
I know some people in the watch community can be a bit snobby about cheaper watches, especially Chinese ones.

Welcome, James!

I'm hopeful that you and your reviews will fit in well here. As you may have discovered by now, our members welcome all tiers of watches; from $9 Casios to $90k (and beyond) haute horology pieces.

Thanks. That's good to know. I've never understood watch snobs. You can get some cracking value for money with cheaper watches.

Not sarcasm at all. I think it’s a great home for your reviews. We’re all looking for deals!

That's good then. I'm all about the 'best bang for your buck' as Americans say.
