Ben's Watch Club

About

Welcome To The Club!

Ben's Watch Club is the low-cost wristwatch critic dedicated to preventing buyer’s remorse. Each month, we help over 1 million men pick an awesome, affordable watch they can wear with pride; we aim to help you do the same!

Since 2019, we’ve produced in-depth reviews, compilation lists, and independent insights on the newest affordable watches, to see which are worth your time and money.

This site is perfect for you if…

  • 👨‍🏫 you are new to watches

  • 💵 you have a tight budget

  • 🤔 you want to discover new watches

  • 😨 you don't want to overspend

  • 🙏 you value honesty

we’re different

Unlike 99% of wristwatch “review” websites, we:

  • wear, test, and photograph the watches we review; no bogus, stock-image “reviews,” as you’ll see elsewhere

  • don’t accept monetary payment in exchange for a review or positive coverage

  • don’t sell creative or editorial control of our content to watch brands

  • give watches neutral or negative reviews when appropriate; we don’t blindly recommend everything!

  • are not a watch retailer selling the watches we’re reviewing

  • disclose how every watch was obtained, whether purchased or as a review sample

We believe transparency pays in the long run and hope our approach encourages you to return whenever you shop for a new watch.

Like our approach? Glad to have you on board! We’ve created the perfect place for you to begin your journey:


Hi, I’m Ben!

why i started ben’s watch club

In 2016, I started creating fashion YouTube videos to help other men improve their self-esteem (having recently overcome depression myself).

As a result, numerous watch brands began sending me review requests, hoping to get their brand featured. After testing several of these watches out, I quickly realized that not all were created equal. In fact, some were awful quality, despite the legions of websites and content creators praising them! Why was nobody being truthful? So, in 2019, I launched Ben’s Watch Club to provide an honest voice for those after a well-built, good-value timepiece.

While my name’s on the cover, my brilliant wife, Phoebe, and our small (but experienced) writing team help keep Ben’s Watch Club on track.
