This time it’s the turn of Haiqin watches, a lesser-known brand that is gaining momentum due to the low cost of its automatic models.<\/p>\n

Haiqin is a Chinese watch brand<\/a> characterized by its mechanical designs with visible movements and various skeletonized styles.<\/p>\n

It is precisely with the skeleton watches where the brand offers the lowest prices, but are these watches worth it? How good are they?<\/p>\n

In this post, we will gather all the available information about the brand, from its origins to the best Haiqin watches and the opinions they elicit, to determine if they are good.<\/p>\n\n

\u271a Watches Haiqin: History and Origin<\/h2>\n

Haiqin is a relatively new brand founded in 2014, so there isn’t much history to tell beyond the operational data provided by the brand itself.<\/p>\n

\"Haiqin<\/a><\/p>\n

Haiqin watches are manufactured in Guangdong, a Chinese region located in the south of the country where much of the country’s watch industry is concentrated.<\/p>\n

In Guangdong, watches from other well-known Chinese brands such as Curren<\/a>, Skmei<\/a>, Lige<\/a>, Benyar<\/a>, Naviforce<\/a>, among many others, are also manufactured.<\/p>\n

The brand’s commercial name is Guangzhou Haiqin Watch Co., Ltd., and its factory, located a few kilometers from Baiyun and Huang airports, has a capacity of between 11 and 50 workers.<\/p>\n

Thanks to this, they can manufacture their own watches and export them quickly abroad. In fact, their main customers are the USA, Europe, Canada, Russia, and Australia, although they also sell in the Asian market.<\/p>\n

According to the brand’s own slogan, their goal is to create quality watches using good materials and offer them at a reasonable price. For this, they have designers who constantly challenge established fashion, perfecting every detail with maximum innovation.<\/p>\n

A very motivating message, similar to that of other Chinese brands, but it does not demonstrate whether it is really worth buying them. Therefore, let’s analyze in more detail how they are manufactured.<\/p>\n

\u271a Are Haiqin Brand Watches Good?<\/h2>\n

Haiqin brand watches are among the most affordable Chinese watches, although this does not necessarily imply that they are worse than other brands from the Far East.<\/p>\n

To determine if they are good, we must break them down into the sum of their components, taking into account their case, strap, crystal, and movement.<\/p>\n

\u27a4 The Case<\/h3>\n

Like many other low-cost Chinese brands, most Haiqin brand watches use alloy in their cases.<\/p>\n

This is a mixture of copper and zinc, also known as brass, a material that does not offer the same resistance as steel but can take on a similar appearance.<\/p>\n

This does not necessarily mean that it will break sooner, but it could lose its color with intensive use, something that does not happen with steel.<\/p>\n

\u27a4 The Crystal<\/h3>\n

According to the advertising of most Haiqin brand watches, the crystal used is Hardlex<\/a>, although this material is owned by Seiko.<\/p>\n

Although this does not rule out the possibility that it is some type of hardened mineral crystal<\/a> with similar properties.<\/p>\n

\u27a4 The Strap<\/h3>\n

Generally, the brand uses stainless steel bracelets, although it also has some designs with PU straps that mimic leather.<\/p>\n

Obviously, models with steel straps offer much more value, as it is a much more resistant and durable material, which increases the quality of the watch.<\/p>\n

\u27a4 The Movement<\/h3>\n

Both quartz and automatic models use low-cost Chinese mechanisms, although this does not mean that they are unable to fulfill their function.<\/p>\n

With a bit of luck, you might even get a well-adjusted automatic movement that keeps time accurately, but don’t expect it to have the power reserve of a more expensive watch.<\/p>\n

Automatic movements in this price range generally can only stay running for a few hours after being removed from the wrist, unlike more expensive mechanisms that can last for several days.<\/p>\n

In conclusion, they are not watches for a lifetime, but for what they are worth, they have some interesting features. So, if you like the design, it can be a good purchase to wear it occasionally.<\/p>\n

\u271a Best Haiqin Watches<\/h2>\n

Haiqin manufactures both quartz watches<\/a> and mechanical ones, although their specialty lies in automatic models and skeleton-type watches. Here are some of their best models:<\/p>\n

\u27a4 Automatic Haiqin Watches<\/h3>\n

\"Automatic<\/a><\/p>\n

The brand’s automatic models are characterized by their multifunction dials, often with additional complications such as 24-hour time format.<\/p>\n

They also typically showcase the internal mechanism through open windows on the dial and a glass case back that reveals all the machinery in action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u27a4 Haiqin Skeleton Watches<\/h3>\n

\"Haiqin<\/a><\/p>\n

The brand’s skeleton watches are also automatic mechanical models, but they allow viewing the mechanism in its entirety from both sides.<\/p>\n

The movement of the gears makes them almost hypnotic, although they do not offer as good visibility as other watches, and their complications do not go beyond telling the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u27a4 Quartz Haiqin Watches<\/h3>\n\"Quartz<\/a>\n

In the field of quartz watches, Haiqin is also noteworthy, with their specialty lying in analog chronographs.<\/p>\n

Few brands offer fully functional chronographs at such a low price, watches that also excel in design.

\u271a Prices and Reviews<\/h2>\n

Although not a well-known brand among Chinese watch enthusiasts, Haiqin often meets its customers’ expectations.<\/p>\n

These are very affordable watches that despite their price, fulfill their purpose and even dare to have some complications such as 24-hour time display in mechanical designs or chronograph in the case of quartz ones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
