Certainly the less you pay the more chance of it being a bit of a dud , I remember my first order on Ali express , I was sceptical so I bought something for a 5er similar and it too had no way to adjust the bracelet , I probably wouldn’t believe that you can’t adjust the bracelet if I hadn’t seen a watch arrive with the same issue with my own eyes

I would say to try and stick to the main brands that everyone uses like cadisen , pagani design , steeldive, wm, etc as most of the models are tried and tested and pagani have a few sub brands for cheap watches.

sometimes paying the extra money is worth it most of the time watches are better the more money you spend especially when going from £5 - £50

 

If I'm buying a 'proper' watch I'll definitely stick to the recognised brands.

Just thought it was unusual that there was no adjustment. Mind you out should have been more of a surprise that they can get all the parts and put them together for £5!

 

If it is the same watch you posted in a similar thread, yes you can adjust the bracelet

 

I agree with @JoT - if it's the same as your previous post, there are flat pins in each link that can be pushed out with a standard pin pusher tool (or if that doesn't work, a small screwdriver and a hammer can also be used...). From memory, the pins that come out are a weird and wonderful shape, not just normal round pins.

 

I bought I it to see what a duvet would look like on my wrist.

Have you tried a watch with a cushion case?

 

Ali has some cheap mesh bracelets that are adjustable. I got one under 5USD and it's held up well, though now it is not in use.

 

Just a quick word on AliExpress:

1. Always look for cusomer reviews, particularly ones with photos, they often tell you more about the product than the listing.

2. Look at the store, how long has it been operating and what rating has it got? Don't buy from stores that are rated under 90% (prefer 95) and that haven't been open at least a year, preferably longer.
