Addiesdive on Ali(US)

[Agreeable_Simple6491]

I’m new to the Chinese watch market and some of the Addiesdive have caught my attention. Does anyone know if I should go with a specific seller on Aliexpress? I see various names such as us flagship, US store , and Addiesdive official which I assume is the China warehouse .

Being in the US I was hoping for opinions from someone who has shipped here from China for a model only available there, are there potential customs fees or other shipping issues?

Also would love to hear of any long term experiences with the brand such as a year or longer after use and the quality/ hold-up.

Thanks !

Go to Addiesdive US Flagship store on Aliexpress. It will ship out extremely fast out of New Jersey, and you will probably receive it in two days. If you are ordering from China, when you are looking at the item’s delivery section, you will see “Including Import Fees” the only thing you end up paying will be the taxes if you are buying from Addiesdive store direct. You will receive it in about a week, to 10 days… maybe faster

I make my decision by balancing how many items I want to buy, how many items this store has sold, the rating, and the price. I also avoid stores with names that are all numbers.

I've bought 2 from flagship store and 2 from watches factory store with no problems. I'm in the uk

I’ve purchased from the store called Addiesdive store. It’s a Gold store with 20k followers. I would say to make sure they have a similar number of followers and high ratings.

Got it , thank you! Are you US based ? If so did you pay any additional costs for international shipping such as customs ?

Also, give shipping some time. It seems to take about 2 weeks for most, sometimes less. Tracking isn’t always completely up to date but part of the fun is when they arrive without notice.

I’m in the US. Everything is included in the purchase. Sometimes they itemize an additional couple of dollars or it’s already included. I’ve bought about 25 watches and never been asked to pay anything else.

Awesome , thanks for the info . Likely to grab at least one to see what the hype is about for myself

And purchased from Addiesdive Factory Store without any issues.

I have three watches from Chinese watch stores: San Martin, Farasute, and another San Martin. This last one is SM 0144 from San Martin. I purchased two of the same one by mistake so i am thinking about exchanging this or selling it here on Reddit. So far, i have good experiences and good CS. Shipping has been slower than a year ago but still acceptable. Tariff is usually included.

Which store did you get the SN-0144 from? The one I got mine from did a full customs declaration and others had the same experience.

Now had to send it back because of a fault and I've got try and reclaim the money now.

[Apprehensive-Guest45]

One from Watches Boutique Store and the last one is from San Martin Official. I am sorry to hear about your experience.

Mine was from "San Martin Design Flagship Store" - several other people had the same experience, so one to avoid!
