In the Group Funded/Preorder thread, I feature a LOT of microbrand Kickstarters. In fact, I recently posted about this one:

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 my them useful.
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.
This is true. You should check out the Discord server. There are a few guys on there post some wild watches!!!

This one is my most viewed video.
It's a beautiful little piece this.
Sugess ST1901.

Forgive the quality of the video, it's one of my older reviews.

The world of microrotor watches is normally a really expensive one... Well not anymore.
Here's a couple of more affordable ones. One being an AliExpress watch, the other being a microbrand.

If you're into Art Deco design, then this one might be for you.
This is a new limited edition watch from Devo.

Steeldive SD1965S Oris Diver 65 homage.



It's got a nice patina on it now too. I've also swapped the strap as well. I think it matches quite well.

Shame they're not homaging the Oris 65 that everyone really likes.
They'd be printing money if that was the case.

I think Phylida is way better than Phylida.
