About watches in the ZentBuy Spreadsheet
Watches are the category where the seller matters more than the price. Movement type, case finishing and bracelet quality are invisible in a listing photo, and the gap between two listings at the same price can be larger here than anywhere else in the catalogue. This page collects watches and chronographs from the sellers indexed in the ZentBuy Spreadsheet. Practical points: many listings do not state whether the movement is automatic or quartz, and that single fact changes both price and expectations — if it is not stated, ask before ordering. Batteries and certain movements can also affect which shipping lines will accept a parcel, so it is worth checking the restriction list for your destination. Prices here convert from the seller's CNY price and are indicative, not a quote.
This page is one slice of the index; the full ZentBuy Spreadsheet covers every category at once. If buying through a Chinese shopping agent is new to you, start with the agent comparison and the Chinese sizing guide.
Watches: common questions
Automatic or quartz — how do I tell?
The listing sometimes says, and sometimes does not. If the description is silent, ask through the agent before the order is placed; it is the single biggest factor in what you receive.
Are there shipping restrictions on watches?
Batteries and some movements are restricted on certain lines, and a few couriers treat watches as a declared-value item. Check the restriction list for your destination before choosing a shipping method.
What should I look at in the post-purchase photos?
The dial printing and the date window alignment first, then the bracelet end links and the clasp. Those are the details that photograph badly in a seller listing and clearly in a warehouse shot.
Why does this category have fewer listings than the others?
Because the sellers indexed here list mostly apparel and footwear. The watch section reflects what is genuinely in the index rather than being padded out with unrelated items.
