Top 10 Watches Under $150 + Buying Tips For The Lowest Prices!

The first big AliExpress sale of 2026 kicks off on the 15th of March so here's my top 10 super affordable AliExpress watches for this particular sale. Now I'm hoping slash expecting these watches to be available for less than $150 but of course I don't have the sale prices right now but that's what I'm expecting and if you stick around to the end of the video I'll share with you some tips on how to get the best prices. I'll also be producing another top 10 video soon but for more premium AliExpress watches so make sure you come back for that. Now this first one might seem like an unusual pick because escapement time don't participate in the sales but sometimes AliExpress will give you the buyer a voucher to spend at any store so sometimes you can buy watches like this discounted during the sales despite this particular store not participating in the sales so I think it's well worth including incredible watches like this. They all too often get overlooked in videos like this but this time I'm going to include it because this is a truly remarkable watch. This escapement time dress watch houses the VH31 and it was the first watch as far as I'm aware on AliExpress that housed that movement and it sort of well made a lot of us aware of just how awesome this quartz movement is. What makes it awesome? Well the second hand ticks four times every second and as you can see prior to any sale starting it's only $81 and I've included this watch in my top 10 because well it's a San Martin it's an all stainless steel automatic watch and if you can pick this up for less than $150 in the sale well that could well be one of the best value for money San Martin watches that you're going to find because as we know their prices have crept up a little bit that is partly down to the fact that they're starting to use better movements but yeah their watches are just getting better and better and so the prices have snuck up a little bit recently so yeah an all stainless steel automatic San Martin for 150 odd dollars. Now I've included this watch in this video because well firstly I think it's a good looking dress watch secondly it's a Seagull which is a very well established huge Chinese brand and thirdly because well it's rare to find good looking Seagull watches at this sort of price yes at the moment is showing $176 but fingers crossed if this is anywhere close to $150 during the sale I think that will be a great price. Of course I had to include a Watch Dives watch and the reason I've picked this one actually is because this has proven to be one of their best selling watches on AliExpress this particular model well look up here plus 600 sold I'm pretty sure that refers to this particular model because every model on the official store has a different number and I quite like the look of this one and as we know Watch Dives watches have been getting better and better the specifications are strong the build quality constantly improving yeah I can see why this one has sold pretty well $151 at the moment I suspect that will be less than $151 once you've collected all your coupons and vouchers that is. Now the reason I've decided to include this steel dive in today's video is because well this has to be one of the best selling automatic dive watches that's ever existed on AliExpress thousands upon thousands of these watches have sold I'm talking about this particular model as well this is an early watch it's been around for a while it's one of those watches that people have used to demonstrate and explore the sort of value for on AliExpress it's sold in massive numbers now I've included this watch in today's video because I've reviewed this watch and the case finishing is simply outrageous Chronos do produce high quality watches but this is one of their most affordable watches and yes it's a quartz it houses a quartz chronograph movement but it's a good looking watch beautifully made and I suspect this will be well under $150 now a little bit like San Martin I was surprised to find a Boltony that would fit into this category but yeah there's a few actually and I've picked this one this has proven to be one of their most popular affordable watches and yeah I picked it for that reason it's a Boltony so we know it's well made we know it's going to be a military or vintage inspired watch and this is going to be well under $150 by the looks of it so yeah this could be a good buy now this one could be touch and go whether or not you'll be able to pick this one up for less than $150 during this sale but I thought I'd include it anyway because I really like Proxima watches they are nicely made watches they're not quite up there with the likes of Chronos and San Martin but they are beautifully made watches and this is a really good looking watch houses a PT5000 so it shouldn't be in this list you shouldn't really be able to buy this watch for under $150 but if you can get it close to $150 man that would be a good buy it's beautiful isn't it I love that bezel the proportions are bang on and yeah there's a good reason why this one has sold very very well in fact I think it's been one of their best selling watches right there's two more left and this is the next one it's a Baudry a titanium a field watch and that's why I've included this one in the list it's an automatic full titanium watch by Baudry they don't make too many watches they don't release a lot of new watches every single year but this one has proven to be I think probably their best watch I think they've sold more of these than any other watch they've made and they're offering this watch in so many different variations now for that reason I think it's sold so well that they just want to milk that cow why not I'm not wild about the way it looks but it definitely deserves to be on this list this is the final watch it's an Addie's Dive of course I had to include Addie's Dive in this video didn't I I've only included one watch from each brand but yeah this is the one I've chosen for Addie's Dive a particularly affordable watch housing the VK64 I know not everybody's favorite Soko Mecaquartz movement but this has sold in massive numbers and that's the reason I've picked it I think it's their best selling watch through the biggest seller on AliExpress it looks like they've sold over 700 units of this particular watch from that one store on AliExpress so yep I just felt I had to include it now you want to get the best prices during the AliExpress sales what can you do well the first thing you can do is shop on your mobile phone sometimes the prices do vary so if you go onto AliExpress on a computer and then on your phone you might see the same listing sometimes it's more expensive on the computer so if you are going to buy something buy it on your phone but before you do follow the store because sometimes you'll get a sneaky little discount for following a store it might only be a couple of dollars but it all counts how do you follow a store well you just tap this follow button there look and it says now following something else you should do is search different stores you know search for the watch that you want to buy put the make and the model number in the search bar at the top but just make sure you're buying from reputable stores how do you know if it's a reputable store well I tend to look at the feedback I do tend to also only shop at the official stores even if it means paying a little bit more official stores tend to be the biggest stores and yeah I think they've got more to lose with poor customer service because well that official store title is given to them by AliExpress and it can be taken away so I think the official stores are definitely ones to look at and did you know you can also search for items with pictures so on a mobile phone I tend to do it take a screenshot of a watch that you like the look of doesn't have to be on AliExpress and can be anywhere in fact just take a picture of anything and then you can pop it into AliExpress and it will look for other items that look like the picture you've uploaded so if you're looking for a particular homage watch that's a useful tool now once you've picked your brand and the watch that you want to buy and you've found a store that you want to buy it from and you've followed that store your next step is to collect vouchers and coupons now I mentioned earlier that escapement time don't participate in the sales but while I'm filming this there's a little mini sale and you can see here look there's a little voucher or coupon for two dollars off yeah that's not come from the store that's come from AliExpress all you have to do is copy that and then when you go and check out that discount will automatically be included let's have a look for another one shall we here we go San Martin yeah I just tend to copy collect I just copy and collect everything I can and then yeah it just gets automatically deducted at checkout now there are other things that affect price and which country you live in the prices fluctuate every day because they're linked to a particular currency and exchange rates change all the time some countries also force AliExpress to include import tax at the checkout stage so that's going to impact prices massively so when you watch videos like this don't expect to necessarily get the same prices that I'm either quoting or that you're seeing on the screen from my checkout experience because there are so many factors that influence those prices so all I can do really is show you how to get your prices as low as you can and yeah guys happy shopping in the sales let me know in the comments section if you found this part of the video useful and if you enjoyed the first part as well all right guys happy shopping
