that is just an open heart automatic watch, not a tourbillon.. the cheapest real chinese tourbillon you can buy is around $500-600 from brands like kopeck, aesop, sugess, etc.. you will know it is a real tourbillon because the regulator (spinning wheel) is in a cage and the whole thing is revolving one full turn a minute.. these cheap chinese tourbillons are also hand winding and not automatics.. an automatic tourbillon would be very expensive to produce
Yes, and thanks for watching and the good comments. They call this a Tourbillon but I know for the price it really cannot be a true Tourbillon. I just wanted to show people what you can get for the $25 price point and it's actually pretty impressive but nothing like the real thing. If you are a real watch person this won't do but if you just want a nice watch to wear out every now and then this is good for the money. Thanks again for your comments and helping people that watch the video.
@@craigneidel hey, just a reminder to change the title of this video or delete it since all this info is wrong. You have an "open heart" watch, not a tourbillon.
I bought the white one on Wish for $15 a week ago. After 3 days of constant wear (at bed to), it's kept perfect time and I haven't had to wind it once. Side note, I have 2 $350+ Orient watches and after three days, one is off by a 1 minute. Yes, that half circle "weight" in the back is the self winding mechanism. The lume for the hands is surprisingly good and actually glows longer than my Bulova and Citizen watches, but not as long as my Orient watches. I have two concerns, the claim of water resitance, which I won't test, and the claim of a stainless case. A youtube review of another model showed the case wasnt stainless and actually just chrome plated. After a few months, it began to pit and flake off. This model that we have, the 612, specifically says "stainless back". Stainless is no where else implied on the watch. So we'll see. I didn't buy this to wear every day. I just wanted a nice formal dress watch for special occasions. It's going to sit in my watch case 99% of the time.
Thanks Aaron. I think you have the right idea. This is an inexpensive watch that looks good. So wearing it now and then is the way to go for sure. Thanks for watching and I wish you the best of luck with it.
@@craigneidel here's an update. I wore it for three days and nights and never had to rewind it once. I put it in my watch case for automatics (it rotates every couple hours to keep them wound) and it's gained maybe 45 seconds since first winding it more than a week ago. I'm very impressed by how accurate it's keeping time.
@@craigneidel Hi Craig, another update. Because of daylight saving time, I had to adjust all of my watches. This particular watch is still going, without having been wound since day 1. However, it did pick up an extra 4 minutes. This may have something to do with how my watch case rotates it to keep it wound. Overall, still keeping excellent time considering price.
I have Blue version of this watch. The problem is the crown is too tight to wind. it is not soft or smooth wind. Can you guys who owns this watch can conifrm if they have same type of issue. winiding crown required force and not soft and smooth. Thanks
Yes, you really can't get a Tourbillion for $25 but it's not bad for the money. It's more of something to buy if you are not expecting that much. Since the company who produces these say they are Tourbillions we just wanted to see what they were all about and yes it's not a true Tourbillion but fun for a watch you wear a few times out.
@@santigualberto i know that. I do videos for fun. Not sure why you have to be like that and leave comments that are like that. Its a fun cheap watch for 25 and people like to watch to see what you can get for cheap. Its a fun video so no need to be mean. I know what tourbillion is and am trying to keep this light and fun.
The glass is mineral, the strap is leather, the movement is smooth and looks genuine, I haven't faced any problem so far with it. And yeah definitely it's stainless steel dude. Don't judge if yoy didn't buy it. Yet if I gave you a rolex for 20 but and convinced you it's the original one, you won't believe and yet you'll find tons of excuses and issues in it. If I gave you a watch like this and told you it's worth 600$ you'll be happy purchasing it not knowing the original value of it. This is what's happening, cheaper doesn't mean bad, expensive might be rubbish and they'll sell you brand name for a thing you might not use, or use to brag about it. This is our typical stupid customers' twisted mind analysis. We have products won't sell at 20$ but when increasing to "sale: now 29.99$ before 42$" customers will buy it like a big deal thing. Just let me tell you something, just fuck off n don't comment about things you don't know.
Yes it is about 14 to 15 mm. Thanks for watching Shovels. This watch is really just a cheap (Sub $30) watch but if you know that coming in then it's not bad.
The problem of the video is: The Title is wrong. It is not a tourbillon and not a replica of a tourbillon. So if people are looking for a cheap torubillon (there are some avalible) then they can be mislead by your video.
That is unfortunately not a Tourbillon. That wheel is just the balance, what every mechanical watch has. It is probably not a good watch, but the watch looks kinda nice.
Yes its a copy for the 25 usd but does look nice for the cost. Movements make it look like tourbillion but for this cost it isnt real. Thanks for watching.
Thanks 2 Mac. Yeah, its from Wish so it was more of a joke etc. but I still liked the watch for the money for sure. I know it wasn't a real one but figured people would know that real Tourbillons are about 1K to start (cheap ones). I though people would like seeing the watch etc. for the cost but I understand the confusion. My channel is now a tech channel and I do more smart watches, apple gear, and gadgets. Thanks for watching for sure and I appreciate the support.
Thanks Rob. Yes, it isn't a real one and thanks for the info. This was one of my first videos and is more about a inexpensive novelty type watch that people can get. Thanks again for watching and supporting the channel.
@@craigneidel Yes the cheapest real Tourbillion starts at about $500 and is made in China The expensive Swiss ones cost more than a nice house and beyond.

@@craigneidel Then name the video "$25 Chinese Watch Unboxing" rather than the clickbait you have left us.
@@craigneidel you should not be using the word tourbillon. Seriously! Stop with the BS.
@@craigneidel hey, just a reminder to change the title of this video or delete it since all this info is wrong.

They also do automatic tourbillons for around $500/600.

Thanks for sharing.
You must hand rewind clock wise 10 round. If auto rewind, the main spiring no enough power to running. I use this more 2 yaers. And now it ok.
Thanks for the update on this.
That´s NOT tourbilion, the glass is not sapphire, the band is not leather and the case is not steel. In other words: CRAP!

sapphire crystal and genuine leather bands are not what make a watch a tourbillon.. omg i can't believe this comment lol

@@santigualberto looool, see my reply below
How thick is this watch? The spec sheets all say 15-16mm but it doesn't look that thick at 2:50
Yes it is about 14 to 15 mm. Thanks for watching Shovels. This watch is really just a cheap (Sub $30) watch but if you know that coming in then it's not bad.

I do agree. It was one of my early videos and was a cheap watch you can get on Wish. I was just showing it to people but thanks for the comment.
@@craigneidel I think it is nice that you make videos and it is good to show such watches.

this comment should be on top
ya, it's just a normal escapement
Is this a hommage watch?
Nope
Seems to be just an automatic, not a tour bill on.
Yeah this was from wish so just fun video. Many years ago when I was just getting started on TH-cam.
Yes they're killer! 😊⌚
Err...that's not a tourbillon..thats just the balance wheel..open faced..no tourbillon..you got "fleeced".. Not bad for $30

@@craigneidel Yes the cheapest real Tourbillion starts at about $500 and is made in China The expensive Swiss ones cost more than a nice house and beyond.
Chinese Junk! For $35, I'd rather have a Timex Quartz.
Yes a timex is better quality for sure. For $25 this is more of novelty but looks good and fun for some people to try. Thanks for watching.
Buddy, this is not a tourbillon watch. It`s a simple automatic. WTF? Dislike.
Its a 35 dollar watch... We know that. Big discovery as i said you can get from wish so its about a 35 dollar watch.
