The Daniel Wellington watch collection with its minimalist design and classic cut conquered the world’s most famous bloggers a few years ago. But even today, many people still love its elegant design, which is characterized by a large and smooth dial and its interchangeable straps: leather and printed nylon are ideal for every taste and give it a personal and unmistakable note watch.
To give you an idea of the price, you can buy original Daniel Wellington Watches for around 160 $ (depending on the model) on the brand’s official website. It’s a pretty high price. So if you don’t want to invest that much money, we suggest an alternative. But if you are looking for an original and relatively inexpensive Daniel Wellington Watch (I’ve seen over 55% off at times) I recommend you check out this Amazon search.
Cheap Daniel Wellington Watches from AliExpress
Are there any originals?
No. There used to be hundreds of fake Daniel Wellington watches on AliExpress, but now they’ve gotten tougher on replicas. They are being replaced by Chinese private label watches: watches made in China that are inspired by the Daniel Wellington style, are worth much less and are sold legally because they do not have the DW logo.
Perhaps at the time of reading this article, original Daniel Wellington watches have already appeared (I would doubt it), but just in case: check out the price. Prices on AliExpress are generally cheaper than other sites, but for branded products they are never ridiculously cheap. So listen to your intuition: if they offer you a Daniel Wellington for 20$, it’s not a Daniel Wellington.
Instead, there are two interesting alternatives.
Chinese brands, a great alternative to replicas
What I recommend is that you look at the Chinese brands that have models very similar to Daniel Wellington’s: Among these, some are more similar (Cagarny, Geneva, Seseden, and Chronos) and others less (Curren, Jedir, and Megir), but I’ve also listed them for you to check out.
Personally, I only know Geneva, Curren and Megir, brands to which we already have articles dedicated (this, this and these) and I can assure you that they are good brands for the price they are sold at.
White Spots (DW Clones)
There are many more “anonymous” watch brands inspired by Daniel Wellington, but since they don’t have a recognizable name, the best way to find them is through this search.
Important: In addition to white label watch sellers, you may find a few who continue to have replicas. What they do is modify the logo of the watch with Photoshop. So when in doubt, the best thing to do is to ask the seller for real photos via chat or check reviews from previous buyers who usually upload photos.
Bonus: Daniel Wellington Watch Straps
If you are looking for Daniel Wellington nylon straps, you will also find very cheap straps on AliExpress. All you have to do is enter the nylon webbing search engine and you will get results. If you want a specific measurement (16mm, 18mm, 20mm, 22mm, 24mm, etc.), all you have to do is enter the size you want in the search: nylon tape 20mm. If you don’t know what size you need, we recommend checking out the sellers’ size and conversion tables on their product page.
Let’s summarize: important tips
As mentioned earlier, it is important that you make a good deal of your choice before buying a watch on AliExpress. To know if a seller is reliable or not, here are a few things you need to look at:
- The Reputation of the Store: If the store has at least 1 diamond you can be 100% sure that you are dealing with a store with an excellent reputation.
- Former Buyers’ Comments: They give you a real idea of the opinions and experiences of users who, like you, have already placed an order.
- The number of sales made.
And the quality? Well, although we can’t forget that we buy a white label product much cheaper than it would cost in the original, the truth is that the quality of these Chinese brands on AliExpress is very high (just read the many positive feedbacks from previous buyers). It is important that we choose a trustworthy shop and that it gives us confidence. Don’t forget that you can always contact the seller directly if you have any questions 🙂
You want an original, Cheap Watch from Daniel Wellington; Amazon is the answer
If you are not convinced of Chinese brands on AliExpress and you prefer to buy an original Daniel Wellington watch but at the best price, Amazon is the most recommended site. Although prices have nothing to do with the Chinese Wellington boots on AliExpress, get a 100% branded watch from one of the most reliable stores on the internet.
But best of all, the Daniel Wellingtons from Amazon are significantly cheaper than in the brand’s official store. Prices may vary a bit, but I’ve seen price differences of more than 50%. These prices are even better than in outlets.
In addition to the security that you feel when buying on Amazon, another great advantage is that the product arrives at your home much earlier. On the one hand, it is right that you pay more, but on the other hand, you can release your original Daniel Wellington watch much sooner :).
Why is it so cheap on Amazon?
Amazon is a marketplace where many sellers compete with each other, forcing them to lower prices to get customers. In addition, Amazon also sells products itself and usually watches the prices of the competition to try to always make their products a hair cheaper.
And of course you don’t have to worry about counterfeiting either: Amazon cares a lot about replicas, so if you see a super cheap watch here, you can be 99.9% sure that it is an original Daniel Wellington at a very reduced price.
Where to buy it
During the article we explained what we think are the best options when buying a cheap Daniel Wellington watch (both white brand and original). Both of the platforms we talked about are excellent, although each has its advantages and disadvantages. On Amazon, you pay more, but shipping is faster, and on AliExpress, prices are much lower, but the watches are white label. In my opinion, both options are better than buying directly from the official store.
In short, we encourage you to weigh the pros and cons of each online store to see which one will suit you best. This is how you ensure the best possible purchase. 🙂
