No Comments on Shhors Digital Watch Review

To complete the top ten digital watches list and rich my blog content, I did a lot of searches about digital watches made in China and finally found the last one I want to review, why I chose this watch? Because it really has a solid quality, there are a lot of other digital watches, but I found that most are for young students. It is the first time for me to hear about Shhors, which is a Chinese brand founded in Jiangmen city of Guangdong, China. This watch has some G-shock styles but also has some features that differentiate it from other digital watches I have reviewed.

Not like mechanical watches, there are not too many brands of digital watches in China, the main reason I think is G-Shock is not expensive and you can also get a very high quality fake G-Shock at a very cheap price. Despite this, there are still some digital watch brands coming from China have earned a high reputation.

Shhors is not a popular brand in this field and their watches are sold at very cheap prices like other brands, but I felt that the quality seems to be a little higher on Shhors, take this watch as an example, there is a round stainless steel piece added on the case for a better protection, the rubber band is also connected to the case more firmly through big screws. During the shock and tough resistance test, the band is really tied strongly and you will feel very secure.

The watch has a big case that is measured to be 53.3mm in diameter, including the crown, the case thickness is about 18.4mm. The crown is not screwed down but this does not affect the watch’s water resistance. The watch has four functions, time, week, chrono and alarm, there is no date display on the dial. The week is displayed on the round indicator set at 12 o’clock, you can easily found current week in a different color background. There are names of different cities on the outer most of dial, they have no real purpose because the watch can not show you the time in the second time zone, the central hands are also showing you the local time.

No Comments on Vakuy Rigas homage – AP or Hublot Sang Bleu?

This watch looks weird, it has an outlook of AP Royal Oak but immitating the dial design of Hublot Sang Bleu, well, that dial design looks very natural and good in such an octagonal AP Royal Oak case, I must say that Vakuy Rigas has done a good job.

The watch has a big case size that is measured 43mm in diameter and 14mm in thickness, it is made with solid 304 stainless steel and has great polishing and brushing on the case, with a long stainless steel bracelet, the entire watch also feels heavy on your hand.

The frontal face of the bezel has a brushing finish that is completed in the same direction as that on the case and bracelet, the edge and every corner of the case are polished, there is nothing on the crown but only matte finish. The watch has the classic AP Royal Oak bracelet being connected to the case naturally and stably, the bracelet is integrated with the case seamlessly, which looks like an extended part of the case. That’s also the reason why so many people like AP Royal Oak, not only because of its sporty outlook, but also the connection of the case and bracelet makes the watch fit your wrist in a more comfortable way, but the premise is that your wrist is big enough.

The dial shows the time in a creative way, where you can see the most mechanical method to display the time. The working or moving steel frame at the center is traditional second hand, next the steel frame with one corner filled with white luminescence is minute hand, the outermost steel frame is hour hand, which is pointing at the hour number printed on the beveled inner bezel. The sapphire crystal has a very good permeability, you can observe the dial clearly at every angle.

At last, the watch has a Japan 8215 movement that is a standard automatic movement from Miyota. This movement now has been widely used in replica watches and homage watches made in China, it is well known for its high stability. I have the watch for three weeks now, it gains 18 seconds each day now but I still love it very much.

Farasute, it is the first time for many people to hear this watch, it has a good name that soulds like a watch brand coming from Germany. Well, I am very sure Farasute makes watches in China, and their headquarter is located in Shenzhen, I did not find two or three classic timepieces they have made that have been popular in watch industry or in homage watch field, but the one I am going to introduce today is a very beautiful model from Farasute, it has a top quality, absolutely its price is not cheap.

I found this watch on Taobao, which is a great shopping app from alibaba group, you can find everything on this platform. I went into the shopping page of Farasute and this watch immediately attracted my attention for its unique movement design, where you can see it through the crystal back. Farasute has four different models to choose for this watch, each is different from the other by dial color combination, the black and white dial color look too formal, I have several timepieces with such type of color combination, so I chose the green one, which looks a little saucy, after I paid, I was told by the seller that the watch needs to be customized first and the process will take about twenty days, I was not worried but more excited, what a timepiece will be created by this project?

Finally I received the watch after waiting for almost twenty five days, everything looks perfect, the watch, box and accessories. I love the wooden box with brown leather inside, among so many Chinese watches I have seen, the Farasute box looks the most high-end. And when I learned that they only produce two hundred pieces of this watch within one year, I know I am very lucky.

The watch has a case that is measured to be 39mm in diameter and about 12mm in thickness. The four lugs have a polished finish and are naturally curved to guarantee a better wearing comfort on your hand. The bezel is green and has a dome sapphire crystal cap. The rim of the case back has polished engravings on a rough sanded background, the center of the back is a crystal window to show an unique movement.

Like the bezel, the dial also has a green color. Every detail on the dial is perfectly completed, hour markers and the brand logo are tridimensional, each hour marker is cut in the same shape and size without metal burr on the edge, please get a closer look at the dial, they look very clean. The three small dials have a sunken design and hve delicate CD patterns decoration, each small dial has their own function, the small second hand is running on the subdial at 6 o’clock, the other two subdials are minute-chronograph counter and hour-chronograph counter. The watch has a working chronograph, you can unscrew the buttons and operate it.

Through the crystal back, we can see the movement, which has an unique auto rotor in golden tone, the entire rotor is made in the shape of the Farasute logo, that’s very impressive. By the way, the movement is 4801 chronograph from Dandong movement factory, it is a very stable movement and usually has no issues. And the stability of this movement has been tested on many watches including some super clones that have been very hot in Chinese market, both its stability and accuracy are trusted.

Sport Digital Watch Review

Sport, I am not sure if this is a registered watch brand, I saw a lot of digital watches sold online use this name. Among these watches, most are for students, so is this watch I am going to introduce today. You can see the word “SPORT” in white on this watch that has a rugged design case, I also did two tests about shock resistance and water resistance on this watch, it passed.

It is black digital watch with simple color combination of black and white, there are white lettering instruction on the black watch. The case is over 53mm and is almost 18mm in thickness, but the entire watch is light in weight, which is only 49 grams. The resin case is really much lighter than some watches made with carbon I saw before.

The case has several pieces of resin knurls to protect the dial and operation buttons on the sides, on the four corners, there are stainless steel screws to lock the entire watch tightly through the front to back. The case back has the engraving of a swimming person in the sea, which means the watch is water resistant. We can also see similar information on the front which is printed with “WR30 BAR”. Each button set on the case has their own purpose and easy to operate.

The dial design is very reasonable. Because the lower section of LED screen has a big space to show you time, you can also easily get the week and date at the same time, although these details are displayed in black font, but I can still read them separately with a great convenience because they have the font in different thickness. There is no specific function for the oicator on the upper left, it is just a decoration.

At last, the digital watch is driven by a quartz battery imported from Japan. I do not know how long it will last, but the battery in my G-Shock has lasted for five years. Maybe the lifetime of the battery in this Sport watch is about 3 years. Whatever, if you have children who are in shools and do not want to spend too much on a watch, then this Sport digital watch will be a perfect gift, it is strongly made and very durable.
