Ben's Watch Club is the premier source for informative, independent reviews of affordable men’s wristwatches. Our goal is to help you make well-informed purchasing decisions when choosing the perfect timepiece. Launched in 2019 and based in the UK, Ben's Watch Club is widely regarded as the most trusted reviewer in the wristwatch industry.
Hi, I’m Ben!
Our Story
I founded Ben’s Watch Club after working as a menswear blogger, where I had already come across a wide variety of timepieces.
After seeing online fashion gurus repeatedly recommend the same overpriced, trash-tier watches they were paid to promote, I decided to create a better alternative: a place where men could find honest, unpaid opinions on all the latest lower-cost wristwatches—the ultimate watch resource.
Within weeks, I started the Ben’s Watch Club YouTube channel, reviewing watches every evening after work; the website followed soon thereafter. After many years of work and hundreds of reviews, we’ve grown to become one of the largest independent review publications in the world.
We now reach over a million men every month.
BENJAMIN ARTHUR - FOUNDER & CONTENT LEAD
we’re different
Unlike other “honest” watch review sites, you’ll actually see a mix of positive, negative, and neutral coverage at Ben’s Watch Club. We don’t sell creative or editorial control of our content to watch brands, and we don’t believe you need to spend a fortune to get a ‘good’ timepiece.
Our writers aren’t anonymous nobodies with an internet connection (or AI, for that matter!); they’re real, passionate watch addicts like you and me, with decades of experience between them. We don’t just let anybody write for Ben’s Watch Club, we handpick the best. Our authors get hands-on with every product they review to give you accurate insights you’ll find nowhere else.
In fact, why not meet the team for yourself? ⤵️
