Where to Buy Cheap Pocket Watches

Pocket watches may seem like a thing of the past, but in recent years they’ve been making a come back. With so many people falling in love with antique styled watches, you may be wondering where you can find cheap pocket watches to buy. It’s actually a lot easier than you think. In this article I’ll be discussing the top three places to buy cheap pocket watches.

Where to buy cheap pocket watches: Esty

Esty is a website known for selling homemade and vintage items. Because so many of the items are homemade or used, you can a lot of items for very cheap.

Depending on the type of watch you’re looking for, you can pay as little as $10 or less for a one. It’s also very simple to buy an item using Esty. They accept both paypal and credit cards. Even if you’re not sure how to buy an item online, Esty makes it very easy.

Besides being easy to buy and the pocket watches being very cheap, Esty also has a very wide selection of watches. Right now when I type in ‘pocket watches’ on the site, I get over four thousand results. If you still can’t find the perfect one for you, you can also request a custom item. Custom items do cost slightly more, but tend to still be very cheap.

Esty also has many unique products that are also cheap and easy to buy. An example of this is a watch that is shaped as an alien head, or another that is steampunk styled. These watches come fully functional and ready to use right out of their packaging.

If you’re not into anything that odd, don’t worry. You can also find many antique styled pocket watches on the site as well. The best part is that even antique styled watches are cheap. Because these items are made by hand, you’re able to buy them for much less than any other store price. They also tend to be much more sturdy and long lasting. This is because all of the items get individual care they need from the maker.

The only downside to Esty is the shipping. If you’re planning to buy an item for someone other than yourself, you may want to check where the items are being shipped from. You may find that the perfect pocket watches are half way around the world and may take a few weeks to ship. If this is a problem though, you can always contact the seller and request faster shipping.

Overall, you should be able to find several different cheap pocket watches. In my experience, they usually cost under $25, including shipping and a chain if it’s not included in your original order.

Where to buy cheap pocket watches: Ebay

Ebay is another great site to check out if you’re looking for a cheap watch. A lot of these pocket watches will be used, but this helps make the price lower than new ones. They also have a great selection of pocket watches and more are being added all the time.

If you don’t already know how to buy from Ebay, it’s very simple. Like Esty, all you need is a paypal account or a credit card. Unlike Esty though, most items don’t let you buy them right away. Instead, you have to bid on the item that you want. This can be both good and bad. On one hand, it means that you may be able to buy a great pocket watch very cheap. On the other, if there’s one pocket watch that you’ve been really wanting to buy, someone can come and outbid you at the last second.

As of right now, there are over 45,000 pocket watches listed on Ebay. Some are cheap, others are more expensive. If you spend some time searching through all the different kinds of pocket watches, you’ll be sure to find a great one that is very cheap.

Where to buy cheap pocket watches: Hydia Jewelry

If you’re looking to buy a cheap watch and don’t mind what they’re made of, Hydia Jewelry is your best bet. You may not be able to find silver or gold, but you’ll make up for it with their cheap prices.

The watches for sale at Hydia Jewelry are made from stainless steal and are very cheap, costing as little as $4.

Like the other websites, you can buy pocket watches and other jewelry with both a credit card or paypal account. While I’ve never personally ordered from the website, I have heard good things about it. The pocket watches listed are cheap and seem easy enough to buy, but there isn’t as large of a selection as the other two sites.

The only thing I don’t like about Hydia Jewelry is that the company is listed in China. With all the lead paint scares going on, I’ve noticed that a lot of people want to be much more careful about where they buy their products from. This is all addressed on the website though. Whether or not that will be enough to keep people from buying their cheap pocket watches, that’s up to you.

Overall, it’s not that hard to find and buy cheap pocket watches these days, especially online. In my opinion, Esty is the best website to buy pocket watches because of their cheap prices, massive selection, and the care that is put into each watch. That being said, the other two sites are great places to look as well. So many people have fallen in love with pocket watches these days that they’re popping up everywhere. The days of having to pay several hundred dollars for them are long gone. Now your biggest concern is simply which watch to buy, and from where.
