Synoke is a Chinese brand that was created almost ten years ago, I found their office is in Guangzhou of China, not sure if they have a factory, but most of such watch brands in China like Synoke adopt OEM business mode. I introduced Skmei, Smael and Sanda watches on my blog before, I found there is a big difference between these watches and Synoke, which is most of the digital watches made by Synoke are for young students, they have a smaller size than the watches from Skmei, Smael and Sanda. Just three days ago, I got one Synoke watch and also made several tests on it, the result is I am very satisfied with the quality of Synoke.
The Synoke watch I bought has a model number 9619B, you can easily find it on Synoke official website. When I received it, I felt the watch is much smaller than I expected, because I did not check its dimension before purchasing, but after I made these tests, I changed my opinion, this is the exact tough sports watch I am looking for, I will gift it to my son.
The watch comes in a black iron box in hexagonal, Synoke 9619B also has green color option, I chose the full black one. I measured the case, from top to bottom, it is 44.8mm in height, from left to right, the watch is 39mm in width, and it is measured to be 13.7mm in thickness. The watch has a very light weight, which is only 34.4 grams.
The Synoke watch has a square case shape, actually many people will consider a round case if they are looking for a G style digital watches, but some square digital watches are very classic, my first G-Shock DW-5600 in square shape now still works very well. The case is plastic, I do not know the exact material, but it appears to be extremely flexible.
Under the acrylic face, you can read time, week, date on the LED screen on the dial, the dial is much more readable than the other three digital watches I bought before because the LED screen that displays current time is bigger. The indicator at the top left corner is interesting, it seems like an energy display of the watch, but just a decoration without specific function. You can see white letters on the edge that tell you the function of each button.
The digital watch is driven by a quartz battery imported from Japan, it has a very long service life, by the way, Synoke sent me a replacement battery for free in the box. At last, the watch is equipped with a black nylon band, while you can also choose the watch with a green nylon band on their website.
Here at last I want to show you four videos of the watch.
The first one is just a video to show you the entire watch.
In the second video, I am doing a shock resistance, knocking the table with the watch hardly, including the front of the watch, the face is not broken, and the watch still works accurate after the test.
The third video is a test of the water resistance.
The fourth video is interesting, I put the watch on the floor, standing on one foot on the front of the watch, and stomp hard on the watch, after that, I checked, the Synoke watch is still good.
