- Are Tayroc watches any good? In this Tayroc review video, I take a look at a watch recommended by Alpha M and other fashion gurus in the days before Vincero & MVMT. This watch was purchased from eBay with my own money.

Ben's Watch Club tends to cover affordable watches like Seiko, Timex, Casio, Citizen, MVMT, Vincero, Bulova, Orient, Hamilton, and more. We rarely feature luxury watches like Rolex, Patek Philippe, Breitling, Tag Heuer, Tudor, Grand Seiko, Cartier, Omega, Audemars Piguet, or Hublot due to their price. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
No need to send hate over to any of the 'influencers' mentioned. Keep the banter in the comments here haha.

CORRECTION: This watch can actually be adjusted to start from near the 12 o'clock position by removing the crown and using the top pusher. I say near, as even when adjusted it still isn't close to hitting the 12 marker and sits off to the left.
Ben, I would legit buy a Spaghetti Scammeti just for the meme alone. You should consider selling it
No idea who they are anyway…
Thanks for adding the correction, I was going to come here to say that. Anyrate appreciate you trying to keep things honest.
Its likely same people are behind multiple influ-brands of things like this.
Hi Ben,
Can you please give a indication of the quality of "Astos" watches?
I fell into this trap when I was about 16. My poor dad bought me a txm087 for Christmas and I loved it… until the small second hand fell out from normal wear a few months in. Took it in for repairs and thought that was the end of my troubles, until the big second hand became horribly misaligned for seemingly no reason. Wore it until the battery died and haven’t touched it since. I now own g-shocks and Seikos so I don’t exactly miss it.
I willing to be that just about every watch fan and/or collector has purchased a bad/defective/fake (via scam) watch at some point in their lives. It's a strange experience of enjoying watches.
Cherish your dad, my friend.
@@Cowmookaze I feel guilty to this day that I convinced him to get me one 😅
I'm a jeweler and I assure you, most people who like watches buy a crap watch at some point. Like some people get invictas and think they have a nice watch.
that's why there's a watch name casio G-Shock 🤟
I'm just amazed there's such a thing as "lifestyle influencers" that get people to buy products like this and build massive followings.
I don't understand it at all
Generally people are suckers, and want to follow someone, even if it doesnt make any sense. They are to weak to stand up for their own choices. "Well He [insert influencer] reccomended it, so it can't be that bad!".
Btw, on the topic of reccomending something, i have a very good friend who's in close contact with King Abdullah Jalapeno of the Fromage Islands, and he has a few hundred million dollars he just need a bank account for, which will net you a 25% commision. Only need your bank account#, VISA, name/address and SSN pls, Thx.
People are sheep. End of story.
@@jlg395 exactly
James how old are you? I believe its an age related thing, I'm in my early 40s and share your thoughts 100%.
Influencers to me used to me the likes of Ayrton Senna playing with a Tamiya RC car and wearing a Casio calculator watch and being paid $0 to do it.
Sheeple!
lol. It's always interesting to see how ppl fall from their advertisement. Be it a watch or anything else. It's like - here, hold my brain, take my money.
The sight of that Spagheti Scametti swept me off my feet. Those are super rare!!!! How did you get your hands on one?!?!
💯
A clock named after the cheapest food and has the name scam in it, truly must be something to have.
Its gotta be a joke.
@@mikaellindqvist5599 well done Sherlock
@@mikaellindqvist5599 Absolutely not. Spaghetti Scametti is a luxury Italian watch, made with the most high quality of Chinese materials. Unlike Rolex, Omega, and other high dollar brands, Spaghetti Scametti does away with the highmark by cutting out the middleman, give me the consumer much more affordable price. If you don't believe me, Ben's watch club has made a video about them praising them and their high quality
Edit for spelling
@@mikaellindqvist5599 her my mum got murdered the other day can you help find her?
Hey, influencers do a great job!
You know to avoid anything they are trying to flog, and buy a proper watch.
Well said. Hopefully the majority of watch lovers out there ignore the crap with this over-the-top marketing, and like you said, save up for a real watch with a certain pedigree. It doesn’t have to be for thousands, you can get decent respectful watches from around £400.00 +
@@markstarmer3677 And less. Orient Bambino. Some Seikos. Hell, even something like a Casio Duro!
@@the_once-and-future_king. indeed you can. Some decent watches you mentioned.
Even a Timex Weekender Chronograph is a better choice than this XD
@@UNSCPILOT You're not wrong. Some of them look pretty badass, especially the Expedition range.
Ben, you have to be one of my favorite watch reviewers. Great work as always.These “affordable luxury” pieces represent the ugly side of horology. Timex, Citizen, Seiko, Bulova, Hamilton, Swatch, and Casio are REAL watch makers. It’s their core competency. Whereas these cheap “minimalist” quartz pieces are just some tasteless, unoriginal, junk.
Absolutely! Well said!
Ben, I and many fellow amateur horologists thankyou for these Tayroc, MVMT, Daniel Welington watch reviews which are just as valuable as the Orient, Seiko 5 etc, bargains. It's clear that these are all cheap, souless, designless shells of watches created to be as cheap as possible and to be pushed until the enormous marketing budget runs out. Tayroc becomes yet another name to add to the avoid list.
I avoid anything that calls itself "minimalist" except for a few brands (Junghans, unimatic, a couple other German brands)
To Make you laugh...I was in Hamburg last year to walk past a VERY luxurious shop selling watches. Being a fan i looked in the window and at the shops name...Daniel Wellington. A shop in the most expensive shopping street in the city selling nothing but Chinese drop shipped watches at inflated prices. The store was completely empty of shoppers BTW.
Agreed. I’d much rather wear a Timex than a DW, and I do. But if someone really wants a “designer” quartz watch as a fashion piece, they’d be much better off going with a Swiss watch made for an Italian brand like Gucci, Versace, or Ferragamo.
What are the other names on the avoid list?
@@aitskimoro9035 Filippo loretti. Basically any watch that advertises itself as "affordable luxury" or watches with bland and uninspired design, like DW/tayroc/MVMT the video, especially if they're more than 150. I also avoid any watch with a "designer" brand name, like Tommy Hilfiger. Also Movado, but that is probably a contentious brand to mention.
I also use Swatch as a benchmark. Swatches are plastic, rubber, and quartz, but they're actually "made in Switzerland" (so at least 60%) and they're usually 80 USD for a 3 hander watch and 150 for a chronograph, both less or equal to equivalent watches from names to avoid. Swatches also advertise their watches along lines such as fun and colorful watches, not affordable luxury or minimalist.
Ultimately if someone buys an MVMT or whatever and likes it, I'm not ok with that since they're bought it based on advertising and marketing brainwashing and if they like it they're just further falling victim to commitment and status quo biases.
I am not interesting in buying a watch, nor do I even wear one. I've never heard of MVMT and you were randomly suggested to me by TH-cam. Despite all of that I really do enjoy watching someone who is very passionate about a subject share that passion with the world (especially when they are dunking on crap faux-luxury items). Keep up the good work, I'm sure I'll find my way back here again one day.
I am so tired of these cheap piece of crap watches being peddled to the uninformed public. Great video my man. Keep Rocking those Watches 🤘🏻
My 5600 G shock was £58 .... Craziness... A solid watch that I have been wearing for a few years now... It's excellent... That piece of trash for £100... Madness
20 buck digital Casio is better than this piece of landfill garbage.
I hadn't even heard of them until... now. 💀
I guess that makes Ben an influencer?
Hey Ben. Really enjoying the videos. I now know what to look for when buying a watch since discovering your channel. Also, You are very articulate and bring convincing arguments, which is something I haven't yet found in any watch reviewer on youtube.
I’ve just come to a conclusion in life, that if it being praised by “influencers” it’s nothing but a hot pile of garbage. This goes for watches, clothing and really anything else.
Hey, if you're subscribed to this channel, you're subscribed to a channel that is being maintained by a watch influencer, and whatever he recommends are nice products imo.
I think that whenever a person recommends something, you should research a bit to determine whether or not that product is good.
@@sefer-nv6cn Exactly. For all the people bashing influencers in the comment section, they don't seem to understand the term very well. Because by every definition, Ben is considered a watch influencer too.
Mate.... Your channel is a gold mine. Always learn a lot about watches but also about life itself. Cheers
Excellent work as usual. I love how you expose these overpriced crappy products in a serious way, and make a really entertaining video of it as well. Keep up the good work.
So I just happened to stumble on this channel by pure chance and I’m absolutely amazed by the quality of the videos, absolutely primo my man,
The fact that people can be influenced to buy things by "influencers" is scary
Been happening for generations....influencer is just a new term for marketing
That's how all advertising works though? Literally every form of advertisement is an attempt by someone or some company to influence you to buy a product.
Ive met people who own raycons in real life.
@@SuperTed. q111qqqq111111¹1
@@SuperTed. almost bought them too but stopped myself at the last minute
Thanks for the vid! Saw on one of the online shops here in SA they are selling the lady watches for 70% off. Googled the name as I have never heard of them before. So glad I saw this vid now I know I shouldnt waste my money.
I love that "tayroc" sounds like "tarocco" that means fake in italian. Really enjoyable video as always Ben, thank you!
I was given one as a present...absolutely dreadful, I work in clothing and travel to Hong Kong I saw exactly same unbranded watch for $4, the price my friend paid was £120...Hong Kong price was reasonable
Crazy that a watch can be made that cheaply. Still has parts. Labor. A band. Battery. Case. All those things. Not to mention a profit for the manufacture. A profit for the seller. Yet after all that it can sell for $4?
@@codycast Highly likely. You can buy same watch from AliExpress in $20 max which in itself is "expensive" for this one. I guess the reason they charge so high is bcoz Marketing costs a lot, especially in US + profit obviously.
Here we go!!! Grabbing the popcorn brother. Thanks Ben. 😊
As someone looking for a good watch, this video was very helpful in tips with what to look for.
Hi Ben! You are my absolute favourite watch reviewer in TH-cam! I just wanna say thank you for all your hard work, you are the very reason that I got into watches. I also want to say that your shots and overall video quality are on point and marvelous! Please continue the good-no- terrific work you always deliver in each video. Lots of love!
P.s. pleaaase review that chronograph (you know which), you've been teasing us for far too long! I know other channels have done it but I really would like to see your take on it as I think your review style is the best!
Shame on these influencers for promoting junk. Great review and informative. Thank you. Subscribed.
Keep at it Ben! We appreciate your efforts 😎
I bought a Spaghetti Scameti and it changed my life!!!!!
I’ve only started watch BWC about a month ago, and u made me really really want that Orient Fag open heart with blue dial. A few days ago I got one from Jomashop (black dial as the blue is out of stock), and I hate sounding like a Fillipo pusher, but I actually got a few colleagues literally stopping me to ask to see the watch!
Oh wow, Tayroc is such a throwback. Haven't seen that name in a while. Great review!!
Thought I might see some RS names in these comments what a throwback indeed lmao
Aww a mvmt in the wild yesterday, just grinned.
I'm still rocking the timex weekender after seeing Alpha M's review of it haha
A very interesting video and an even more interesting topic, I shall watch your channel with a strong interest
When are you reviewing the true "affordable luxury" alternative...the moonswatch!?!? Looking forward to that roasting.
Looking forward to an "honest review", not a "roasting".🙂
@@sak3155 that watch deserves a roasting.
@@jeckwhite9099 oh I have my opinions on it. I just want to see if he will actually give his "honest" review on it and why. I know words can get lost in translation when trying to express something on paper, but note the word "honest" in quotations. (I was being sarcastic 😉)
Other "watch enthusiasts" on TH-cam are raving it so highly, you'd be forgiven if you thought they were the cows that jumped over the moonswatch (pun intended). In their videos, they always seem to stress the value of a watch relative to its price, especially in terms of quality and materials used. They're roasting other watches for not being worth $200+ because they're made from plastic that's not scratch resistant, the strap looks cheap and flimsy and they're not even water resistant (or barely). And yet they're all thrilled about dishing out more than $260 for the moonswatch with those very same specifications.?
That's why I'm questioning their "honest" reviews. In my honest opinion, I think these influencers are being influenced by other influencers because they must fall in line with other influencers otherwise their credibility will be attacked and their influence as an influencer will get canceled. There's a lot of that going around these days.
@@sak3155 they’re being nice to the moonswatch since it’s so hyped and has dragged in tens of thousands of non traditional watch fans due to its hype.
They see it as a way to grow their channel. Not as a way to review an overpriced shitty swatch.
If they drag the swatch, they don’t gain the new wave of subsribers. Maybe Ben will be the one to speak openly about the swatch.
Fun fact: "tarocco" is Italian slang for "fake".
That is brilliant! 😂
This is literally the first video of yours I've seen and I've learned a lot. Do you have a video on things to look out for when buying a good quality watch?
Hi, I have the 2 perfect videos for you. Here's number 1: th-cam.com/video/09yB0APYol8/w-d-xo.html and here's number 2: th-cam.com/video/4JIhQ3Gx7N8/w-d-xo.html
You'll thank me later👌
What I worry about is who the ‘influenced’ are, and if they are legally allowed outside without a qualified carer to escort them 😂😂😂
The power of marketing. "Sell me that pen" Wolf of Wall Street.
For £100 you could buy a Seiko 5 stainless steel, sunray dial, bracelet, hardlex crystal, display back, in house automatic movement, & a great history encompassing some of the finest watches to have come out of japan.. Great channel ben..
Man who listens to influencers these days. Phonies
I bought one because of influencer advertising. I regret not just getting a seiko snk for the same money. Anyways, it got me further into the hobby and I just bought a Tudor black bay 58 a year and half later.
When short on budget buy a Pulsar watch .
Pull the crown to the first position to adjust the chrono reset. Usually A selects and B moves the impacted hand.
"Tayroc" sounds similar to the italian "tarocco", which means, among other things, "something fake". A destiny in a name.
I bought the GBD200 Gshock. It has huge numbers. And a bright contrast display. MiP display they call it. I don't see so well so the big numbers really help.
Would be curious to have you look at WQT. I have been daily wearing their eclipse no.1 for just short of a year now and it has made me happy, but I have heard barely anything about this brand one way or another this whole time. Runs a bit fast, is a winder with no automatic option, but was good looking and skeletonized in a way I like for about $300, which was something I couldn't find elsewhere.
My personal favorite budget brands are Timex and G Shock by Casio. Timex is a good watch for everyday casual wear and can work just fine for dressing up. G Shock works great for utility wear as it's my preferred watch for work around the shop as I'm more prone to bumping my watch on absolutely everything that is capable of damaging it.
Influencers? I don't follow any of them, I don't care what they have to say :-)
They're getting harder to spot in some areas. Motorcycling has a real problem with content pushing specific products, or dressing up as 'advice'
I'll stick with my Aragon Divemaster2 with the Seiko automatic movements. I've worn it for nearly five years until a link broke in the bracelet(I've knocked it about quite a bit). It looks far better put together to me and fit and finish seems way better.
I love my old Pebble watches (they still work fine) and even my knockoff Watch 7. Exactly the Applewatch but way way cheaper. It's fun. Just had to put a real watchband on that for about the same price as the watch, LOL
You probably read this question ad nauseam but what do you think about the Swatch "Moonswatch" ? 250€...only hype behind that or is the price somewhat justified?
I would love to see you do a review of Dissing Watches own brand… china-watches from Shenzhen, sold at overprice as “luxury watches at an affordable price”
Hello there. May I ask what watch strap is the best for high heat resistant and water resistant? Stainless steel? Rubber silicone? Nato? I am working at very hot kitchen. Thank you.
Ben. On a total side note. Your thumbnails. Never change this format. They complete me. To me they represent every emotion known to man and yet you keep finding and expressing new ones. A true mark of genius my friend!
PS: Although I am poking a bit of jokingly admiration I do sincerely enjoy the thumbnails and they do stick in my mind with the expression and the background colour and dial! Please do keep them to me they are essential for recognition and I always think you work great in front of a camera - meant as pure bromance
brother you are one of my favourite TH-camr about watch . you're content is awesome ☺️ .
can anyone or you tell me about olevs watches?
specifically about the olevs automatics .
please check and review any of the olevs watch specifically 9901 model . please
Great video Ben, thank you 👍
I have had several instances of buyer remorse from allowing myself to try products or services from influencers on TH-cam.
I'm still hanging on for a Scametti. To me it seems like the perfect horrorlogical crimepiece!!
Hi. Been enjoying your reviews for some time now and have taken some of your advice when looking to add to my collection. I own a 1980's Seiko chronograph quartz watch, which I believe they called a "Panda". It was purchased by a family member around 1983 and I believe is one of (if not the first) mechanical Chronograph manufactured. That's all I know about it, it works well and thinking to use it as my every day watch but been advised it's a special watch and to invest in replacing the glass and pay for a service. I'm no expert but love my watches, could you shine a little more information on this watch and any advice you can give me. Thank you.
My favorite quote from a TH-camr said it best. never buy a product that a TH-camr was given, especially if they’re just talking about buying the watch, and not actually giving good/bad comments on it. only consider it if they spent their own money on it
Ben, I really like your reviews but you should know that os11 movement have Chronograph second hand adjustment function.
You can probably reset the chronograph hand by pulling the crown out and using the pusher to move the hand around to the correct position.
where is a good place to find that lyle& scott watch??? it looks kool and the nh35 is a great movement! my invicta has run on the nh35 for 7 years now!
I laughed out loud at the chronograph hand idling at around the 7 o'clock mark. How do you even manage that!
The "TAYROC" logo doesn't seem canted, but the "C" on the end doesn't line up with the rest of the letters. *chef’s kiss*
Hey Ben, have you heard of Talley and Twine? I keep getting bombarded with ads for them, and they look so cheap. Have a Miyota quarz movement and are upwards of 200 dollars. Would love to see a review.
Can you please review filipo loretti? They look so good and very reasonably priced
Makes a Timex Q reissue look absolutely great. And I don't mean to put the Q down. It's good on its own for its price point and market niche. The Q simply has a little something to satisfy "the horological aspect" which the piece being reviewed, clearly lacks.
Holy shit, I completely forgot about Tayroc. I haven't heard their name in years, and that's exactly how it should be.
Hi Ben. Have you ever reviewed a Lord watch/Lord watches. Just wondering what your opinion is at their price. Can't find any review from you out there.
Black coating on some Citizen watch bands tends to come off as well. Might be an inherent problem with the process? I don’t know for sure. My Citizen Satellite Wave’s black band is so far holding up, but I don’t wear it much.
Hi Ben, when you order watches from Jomashop do you have to pay a customs charge or is that included in the price you pay? Thanks. Great video again by the way!
You can hit the checkbox for directly paying duties, or you can pay it seperatly...
@@haping1 Thank you.
Hi mate, yeah as the previous commenter said, you can pre-pay any customs at checkout. It varies depending on the cost of the watch 👍
@@BensWatchClub Hi, ok thanks for your help.
Brilliantly done with the "What!" Lol
The Steel Balls of this guy to call out those disingenuous TH-camrs.
I've owned three tayroc watches. They are ok but not so differing from MVMT etc. Would recommend going for another brand
Can you do a review for these watch brands?
Mathey-Tissot
D1 Milano
what are your opinions on the black timex fairfield chronograph?
My first watch was a Casio f91w. Bought my second watch a seiko sarb033 in high school. I'm glad I didn't buy one of those designer watches considering they were around the same price
See Lorus getting pushed on social media adverts at the moment , using Lorus by Seiko. Some of them look nice including some automatics , wonder if they are pushing up on Orient as an budget option.
i know i am late but hаve you tried to set the chronograph?..
What do you think about Tissot PRX Powermatic - 80?
Aha! Knowing the newer watch sponsor I see all the time was cheap junk I tacked down this one, that I forgot the name of, going through old videos.
Surprised one of them just doesnt happen to be pretty good now and then.
Hey! Ben, please do EarnShaw watch review. Thanks 🤟🏻
Could you please tell me what you think of the watches produced by the Camden Watch Company, as I keep getting adverts from my magazine subscription to buy one.
Hi, if you search my channel name and their company name, you should find a review I published of their watch a couple of years ago. Cheers
Well, I follow a few influencers and take notes on the products they recommend. That's how I know what not to buy.
However if you recommend a watch and I like the design, I won't even think twice before I buy that.
sir please suggest me a party wear men watch under budget.my wrist size 7 inch
I would so buy that Spaghetti Scameti, just for the name alone :D.
i'd order something like that expecting a meal, not a watch
Hello Ben can you review Titan watches next? It's an Indian watch company that has been around for many years and I'd like to know your views on their watches
Another great video 👏
Not related to this watch but have been wondering why so many watches has so little contrast. White or silver face, silver indexes, silver hands etc. I don't quite get it.
What do you think of the Melbourne brand watches?
The only watches a TH-cam "influencer" ever sold me on was my Steeldive and my two Vostok Amphibia 090s. (Good AND Cheap) People who buy this plastiquartz crap for hundreds of dollars are like crows who line their nests with shiny objects.
Are Invicta good watches? Willl they go up in value? Or what brands I should keep a lookout for.
Invicta are garbage! Get a Seiko 5 or a Citizen Eco-Drive!
Brilliant video 👍🤌💧
Can u review mast and harbour patek Phillipe homage watch
How can I watch the alpha m video wanna see if he said Tyroc is better than Patek Philippe..
Just buy Sieko alba for stylish models or casio. cheap + reliable. For Sieko Alba the excess functionality will not fail but in pulsar they did which is why that is discontinued.
My watches have to look okay and keep within a minute or better a year. My Bulova Precisionist gains about a second a week and I might have to get rid of it.
Love your channel... You look like Dr Evil..
I just want to say I wish we could get more Spaghetti Scametti ads 😂
Mvmt does have some good designs it’s more of a daily work watches like timex.
