Today we are going to review Forsining watches, a Chinese brand whose affordable mechanical designs have exceeded all our expectations.
Among Chinese watch brands, Forsining is one of the few specialized in mechanical designs, some of which are truly ingenious, such as their skeleton watches.
The brand offers a wide variety of automatic watches ranging from a few euros to several hundred, but they all tend to offer much more than their cost.
In this post, we will reveal the history and origin of Forsining watches, as well as their most successful designs, to come to the conclusion of whether they are really good or not.

✚ Forsining Watches: History and Origin
Although Forsining’s official website doesn’t shed much light on the company that manufactures them or the location of their facilities, some research can provide some information.
The brand is registered in Hong Kong as Forsining Watch Company Limited but is actually part of a larger conglomerate, Ruixue Watch Company Limited, based in China, which also owns other Chinese watch brands such as Jaragar and Winner.
The Ruixue Watch Company produces its watches in Guangdong, a region located in southern China that we have mentioned before as a hub for watch production in the country. Brands like Benyar, Megir, Skmei, and even Parnis also manufacture their watches here.
It is also known that the company has been operating since 2006, so it is relatively new but has been producing watches for over 12 years, allowing it some time to understand the market’s needs and improve its designs.
Finally, it should be added that since its beginnings, Forsining watches have been sold in Chinese retail stores like Alibaba and Aliexpress, although it is currently also possible to purchase them online from other shops.
✚ Are Forsining Watches Good?
In general, Forsining watches are good in terms of design and functionality, although the quality of the materials depends a lot on the price range of the model purchased.
As with any other brand, the price is usually linked to the quality of the components, but this premise is not always true and may not reflect the real value of the watch.
Therefore, before purchasing a Forsining watch, it is important to consider each of the components it is made of. The most important ones are:
- The case: The more affordable models usually have alloy cases, generally made of copper and zinc. Their appearance is similar to steel but may not withstand the test of time as well. The more expensive watches from the brand usually include stainless steel cases.
- The crystal: The most commonly used material by the brand is mineral crystal, which offers good visibility but is not as scratch-resistant as sapphire. In any case, it can be easily replaced as it is not very expensive.
- The strap: The best ones are those with metal straps, as even in the more affordable designs, they are made of stainless steel. There are also models with leather straps, but they are generally synthetic, meaning they are made of a plastic material that imitates leather.
- The movement: Forsining watches usually use automatic movements of Chinese origin. They are generally well-designed and can maintain reasonably acceptable precision. The problem is that the quality control in Chinese factories is often deficient, so we can find well-adjusted movements with an acceptable deviation range and others that gain or lose several minutes per day.
In conclusion, Forsining watches are good for the ultra-cheap price range they are offered in, especially if we are lucky enough to get a well-adjusted model.
✚ Best Forsining Watches
As mentioned earlier, the best Forsining watches are mainly automatic models, although the brand offers designs for all tastes. Here are some of the most well-known ones:
➤ Automatic Watches
Most of the brand’s watches are automatic, meaning they are self-winding through the movement of the wrist, although they also produce some manual-winding models.
The best ones usually include various complications such as a complete date display with day of the week and month divided into sub-dials, seconds stop, manual winding, in addition to the automatic mechanism.
It is also very common, apart from skeleton models, for them to have a transparent case back that allows the mechanism to be admired while in operation.
Here are some of the best ones:

➤ Tourbillon Watches
Forsining also produces various models with a tourbillon, although it is only a window that shows the balance wheel in operation.
A real tourbillon is a complication found in watches that cost several thousand euros, so you won’t find it in a watch that costs just a few euros. However, for those who are not well-versed in watchmaking, it can give the impression.
Here are some of the best examples:
- Mecanismo automático, con 21 joyas y tourbillon en la esfera.

Finally, the brand often includes an extra complication in some of its designs. This is the moon phase, an additional window where we can see the sun or the moon according to the time of day. It also often displays the time in a 24-hour format.
Here are some of those designs with moon phase, many of which are also skeletonized or feature a tourbillon:

✚ Reviews
As always, we like to take into account the opinions that other buyers have already expressed about each of the brands we review.
In this case, Forsining has a good number of positive reviews regarding its good design and the precision of its mechanism. However, there are also some negative reviews that mainly point to a too short power reserve and the fragility of the leather straps of some models.
We have also noticed that some buyers complain about the lack of accuracy, but as mentioned before, it all depends on the adjustment of each individual mechanism.
At this price level, buying watches becomes a kind of lottery where you can either get an incredibly precise bargain or a watch with intolerable deviation.
