Benyar BY5177 Explorer Homage Watch Review

We all know that Benyar is a watch brand registered under Guangzhou Pagani Design Watch Company, so it is the sub-brand of Pagani Design, this has been widely recognized in watch forums, both come from China and are being sold very well abroad. Pagani Design watches are very cheap and are targeting low-end watch market, while their Benyar watches are even cheaper than Pagani Design, that’s crazy, do you know how much I spent on this BY5177? Only $25, that’s unimaginable, because for most automatic watches, even made in China, it is difficult to buy at such a low price.

How is the quality of this watch? If they sell this watch at $30 and include shipping fee, then you can buy one to try, do not pay express shipping like FedEx or DHL, not worthy, and do not expect too much on this watch. I do not know how to say, however, sometimes such type of low-end automatic watch can surprise you because it can last for a long time. If you want to pay only $30 to get a high quality or middle quality watch, then this Benyar watch must be not your choice.

After receiving this watch, I was surprised that it came with a black box that contains everything inside, you know many watch brands do not provide these accessories, like the Beijing watch I bought last time, which does not include a manual book inside, this is not normal, because Beijing is one of the big threes in China. The first impression the Benyar watch gave me is it is too thick, later I measured, almost 13.5mm, the case diameter is 41mm. And later I felt the entire watch is too rounded, I mean, its case does not have angular sense, entirely polished case with simply brushed stainless steel bracelet, there is an obvious gap between the lug and the end link, the gap also exists between the bezel and case body, if you can accept these obvious shortcomings, that’s ok. Although the watch does not have good polishing and brushing on case and bracelet, it is surely made with solid stainless steel, because the watch has a weight of 150.6 grams.

Fortunately the watch comes with a see-through crystal back, the movement inside is a G2666Z, which is a very low-end automatic movement made in China, nowadays, even the cheapest fakes do not use this movement, with this movement, do not expect that your watch can keep a very accurate timing, by the way, you need to wind your watch at least once each day to gain enough power.

For this Benyar BY5177, my conclusion:

It is a watch that can just tell you a basic time.

Cheap finish on case and bracelet, which is worse than that of its brother watch Pagani Design.

Benyar Turquoise Tiffany Blue OP Homage Review

Benyar Watch in Box

Have you ever heard of Benyar watch? Actually I just knew this watch, it is another great homage brand from China, I saw many positive reviews about Benya on the internet, some people said Benyar and Pagani Design are the same company, perhaps this is true, I found this watch when I browsing the website of Pagani Design, so there must be a connection between Pagani Design and Benyar. Some people also said Benyar is cheaper version of Pagani Design, I think this saying describes their relationship much better. I have introduced a lot of Chinese watches on my blog, including the big brands like Sea-gull and Beijing, but what I love most are these cheap homage watches, especially Parnis and Pagani Design, these two watches are my most favorite, one has a glorious past, ther other is currently the hottest homage brand. Today, I want to introduce a Benyar watch with turquoise dial, also named as Tiffany Blue dial, this dial color is very popular in watch industry, both Rolex and Patek Philippe have published watches with the tiffany blue dial, and the Oyster Perpetual watch with Tiffany Blue dial has become the object of many Chinese homage brands to copy.

Pagani Design also has this Tiffany Blue model, but the price of this Benyar is $38, only half of that Pagani Design, I am a little surprised that a good quality automatic watch is no less than $40, and with good case finish. I compared two of them, and found this Benyar uses a mineral crystal and a Chinese automatic movement, while the Pagani Design uses a sapphire crystal and a Japanese automatic movement, maybe this is the main reason why Pagani Design is expensive than the Benyar.

Benyar Watch Case Back

The case of the watch is 39mm in diameter, Rolex did not make 39mm Oyster Perpetual, well, I do not think this is a mistake on the watch, on the contrary, I like this 39mm size, a very good size for mens casual watch. The case is 11.7mm in thickness, a bit thick I think, but it can not be reduceded because of the Chinese movement inside. The watch features a see-through crystal back, and you can see engravings of brand name BENYAR and logo on the auto rotor, for such a price, I did not expect this.

The advantage of Pagani Design watch lies in its good case finish and good dial, while on this Benyar, the quality on the case and dial finish is not reduced even it has a much lower price. The candom bezel has a very smooth polishing, the turquoise dial has the most authentic blue color I have ever seen. There is a date window that features black font in white background, the date font is a little upper in the window, I do not care about this now, for such a price, with a good case finish and good dial details, as well as a more acceptable crystal back, I should not expect more.
