Tevise watches belong to those low-cost brands that offer eye-catching designs inspired by the big watch companies, but is it really worth paying for?

Tevise is a brand of Chinese watches in the lowest price range, that is, you can get one of these watches for a few Qatari Rials and yet offer fully functional mechanical models.

Obviously we can not expect significant water resistance or materials of the highest quality for such a low price, but the brand has some interesting models. Which has better design as luxury brands.

In this post we will reveal all the available data on the origin of Tevise watches and their manufacturing process.

Tevise watches: origin and history

The Tevise brand was registered in 2017 by Luo Wei Jun, although the first watches of the company appeared on the market in 2015. Therefore we are talking about a fairly young brand.

According to the international trademark registry, its main office is located at No. 27 Hao Jin Street, in the Hai Zhu district, belonging to the city of Guangdong that we have spoken about on other posts.

Guangdong is a city and province located in southern China, where most of the country's watch industry is concentrated. Brands like Winner , Forsining and Skmei are also manufactured here.

The trading name of the manufacturing company is Tevise Watch Company and it started its activity in 2012. The factory is also located in Guangzhou and has no more than 50 employees, so they may possibly subcontract labor to other factories in the area.

Tevise watches are sold in pursuit of one primary goal: to provide popular designs at reasonable prices and with a guarantee of quality.

Leaving aside the brand's propaganda, what we do know for sure is that its main markets are Southeast Asia, Europe and the countries of the Middle East.

Tevise has a fairly good fan base in Qatar also.

Are Tevise brand watches good?

As in many other Chinese brands, Tevise watches are made with materials that are cost-effective, although they include some interesting components, such as stainless steel straps. You can also find similiar kind of watches from Forsining.

To be clear about how the brand's watches are made, next we will review each of the parts that make them up, highlighting the most used materials:

The Case: Most Tevise brand watches use cases made of metal alloy. These alloys (generally copper and zinc) have a steel-like appearance but are not as strong.

The crystal: the brand mainly uses hardened mineral crystal, a stronger material than traditional mineral crystals but not as much as sapphire .

The strap: The metal straps are made of stainless steel, so they are usually quite robust, while in the models with a leather strap PU is used, a synthetic material that imitates leather.

Movement: Most of this manufacturer's designs are mechanical and use standard Chinese automatic movements, gauges that despite their low cost can keep time with acceptable precision. However, Chinese quality control is practically non-existent, so they are not always well adjusted.

A poorly adjusted movement could advance or delay several minutes in a day, something that is not worth repairing in a watch of this price level.

In conclusion, Tevise brand watches can be good as long as we are lucky enough to receive a well-adjusted model, although for what they are worth taking the risk.However if you are buying it from a trusted Qatar online store, you will be in safe hands.

Models with a metallic bracelet are also preferable to leather ones, since using stainless steel offers a higher value for what they cost.

Tevise Submariner watches

Possibly the most popular models of the brand are the tribute designs of the legendary Rolex Submariner, a legendary dive watch whose design has been imitated to the nines.

The Tevise Submariner are not designed to dive like the original Rolex, but rather as stylish fashion accessories to keep up appearances.

For what they cost, they barely support 3 ATM, that is, they are only splash resistant, but all of them integrate automatic mechanisms and their price must be like a thousandth of what a Rolex costs.

Moon phase watches

The most complex models of the company integrate the moon phase, a complication that gives an original and elegant touch to the dial since it shows the advance of the sun and the moon in an animated way as the day goes by.

All of these designs are also automatic type mechanical and some also include a tourbillon imitation that allows viewing of internal movement in motion through a window on the dial.

Final Verdict

Opinions on this brand are quite divided. Some buyers highlight the quality of the finishes mentioning correct weight and precise operation, while others complain about the lack of precision.

This is perfectly possible considering that in Chinese factories the quality control is practically nil, so the same watch can be incredibly well adjusted and precise, but there are also many possibilities that it will go wrong and delay or go forward for several minutes. As we mentioned, buying from a trusted online store in Qatar can benefit you.

In any case, for what they cost, you cannot expect a watch for life, if with a bit of luck, a watch will turn out to be noticed for a few months.
