| Pros: |
Choice of billers CCBill or Paypal through Epoch (depending whose referral link you use).
Site online since 2005.
High quality exclusive photo and video content.
Photo resolution up to 5792 x 8688 with zip downloads.
4k and 1080p video downloads.
Site updates on average 4 days a week.
Lots of stunning outdoors shoots in spectacular locations.
Many rarely seen Latina models from South America.
Excellent download speeds getting 6 MB/s pretty much my max.
No problem using my D/L manager (DTA). |
| Cons: |
No longer a PU discount ($9.99 deals can be found if you know where to look).
The old “Erotic Dreams 4 You” bonus sites no longer available.
No small or medium collectable sized photo zips and no video downloads below 1080p on newest content so you'll need a lot of storage space if you want to download a lot.
Poor file naming of zip and video downloads with date only. Why not include the model name and title of set as they do at MetArt?
Earliest videos low resolution at 600 x 480 as expected for 2005.
Many models don't get past a single casting shoot.
Truly awful site design and navigation particularly for users of desktop pcs or laptops, there's probably not enough characters here to list all my complaints so will explain more in the bottom line.
My initial joy at finding a link to the old legacy site was short lived when I couldn't access it, “your connection is not secure. The owner of old.watch4beauty.com has configured their website improperly”. Tried 3 different browsers. |
| Bottom Line: |
This is my first time back at W4B since I last reviewed it in late 2011 and the content continues to go from strength to strength having more than doubled in size since my last visit. The site stats as of today are 540 models, 2322 galleries, 548 films and 534 stories. Many of the galleries come with a corresponding behind the scenes type video so in actual fact there are a great deal more videos than the 548 listed on the separate films page but there's no easy way to count them due to the site layout. The stories are often magazine or blog type pictorial shoots often with videos featuring extras such as backstage pictures, selfies, compilations and travel/location pictures.
Whilst W4B features many of my current favourite MetArt models such as Mila Azul, Li Moon, Emily Bloom, Nika and Little Caprice,what really stands out for me is the wonderful collection of South American latina models they have here from Colombia and Venezuela, most of whom I have never seen before. Check out the likes of Denise Gomez, Irene Rouse, Abril, Karin Torres, Agatha Vega and Mily Mendoza. In the last week alone they have brought us another two young new talents from Colombia named Yeye and Paolina.
The content itself has a harder edge than similar sites like MetArt and Femjoy. Many of the sets feature masturbation, toy use including some with anal insertions, peeing and some lesbian action. There's a wide variety of locations from studio shoots with a plain back drop to spectacular outdoors locations. The public nudity shoots around Prague also look good fun as well.
And now for the bad news. What's the point of all this amazing content if you are going to present it in a truly awful website that is very difficult to navigate and find what you want. It basically seems as though the people at W4B have stuck two fingers up at PC and Laptop users. In a recent PU poll 82% of respondents claimed they use a home or work PC or laptop for browsing porn, go figure! You log into the members area and your navigational options are discover or models. Discover lists all updates on a single page, galleries, films, stories. That's over 3000 updates of endless scrolling with no way to search or sort them. There's no updates calender so if you've had a previous membership good luck trying to figure out what is new since you last joined. The models page is the same, 540 models listed in no particular order on one endless scrolling page. No way to search or sort them by most recent or oldest and no alphabetical A-Z listing. There's no advanced model search like the one at MetArt allowing you to search by criteria such as age, nationality, breast size, hair colour etc.
Next to “discover” and “models” you have a search icon. This is very basic with just a text box allowing you to search a model by name. This is all well and good if the model at W4B has the same name you know her by. If I search for one of my favourite models who is named Mia Sollis on most websites I will get no result because she is named Lynette at W4B. Apart from that on the search page they list their most popular tags, casting, masturbation, peeing, latina, girls, outdoor, and lesbian. Why not make all the tags available on the search page?
As a photo collector my biggest complaint here is the lack of a collectable sized resolution of the photo sets. I prefer to collect my photo sets in the 2-3000 px size range as the perfect compromise between quality and file size. The zip files of these almost 9000 px photo sets were often several hundred MBs to over 1 GB in size. If you don't collect full sets and just want to view the full size photos online or download selected individual photos again that's a very cumbersome chore. You click on a thumbnail and a photo opens in a new window sized to your screen size, no way to enlarge it to the full size and you can't “right click save as” on it. There's a download icon in the top right so click on that and the photo opens in another window again your screen size but this time you can enlarge it and save it. There's no back or forward arrows to navigate to other photos and no slideshow option so you have to repeat the process for any photo you might want to save.
Although I don't collect videos I have to admit the video quality here is some of the best I've ever seen. The 1080p ones I downloaded had bitrates ranging from 5k to 13k and a frame rate of 59 f/s. Like the photo sets this made for some large file sizes with one video I downloaded for example just over 10 minutes long being just over 1GB and the 4k version just over 2 GB.
If I was scoring this site on content alone it would be up there with the best in the 90s but the crappy site design really ruins the user experience for this desktop user so I'll stick with the 86 I scored it back in 2011. |
