Have you heard of Foxbox, I did a searching of “G style digital watches” on the internet and found this watch, it has a name “FOXBOX”, but I found this watch on the website of Lige, was being sold under brand Lige, so I guess Foxbox is just a sub-brand of Lige. I knew Lige watch two months ago when I still reviewed these Chinese homage watches, I learned from Reddit that Lige makes a good quality hulk Submariner homage watch, but when I visited their website, I found a very ridiculous thing, which is that Lige sells their watches to the customers in the Europe and United States at much cheaper prices, while their watches are sold to Chinese customers on Taobao and other platforms in China at more expensive prices, they are cheating Chinese customers, actually this is a very common Chinese brand that opened their office in Guangzhou of China, not a well-known watch.
Today, I will give you a short review about a digital watch from Lige, in future, I will definitely introduce more watches from them, including the hulk Submariner homage, let’s see how is this red digital watch first.
This Foxbox digital watch from Lige is the most tough one I have ever bought, absolutely except the G-Shock. It looks stronger and more robust than the other digital watches I reviewed before, it is really a nice G style digital watch. I chose the red one, the company also offers blue and black options for this watch. When I received the watch, I was really surprised by how strongly it is made, a different feeling it gives to me, more solid and you can feel by just touching the case. This watch also has a higher price than the other digital watches.
The watch comes in a soft pu leather box, there are other accessories like card, cloth and manual book. The entire watch is made with silicon, there are stainless steel screws to help fix the band to the case more stable, so even I pull the two straps very hardly in two opposite directions, they can still be connected on the case firmly. The crystal face is under a good protection because the silicon case is thick and hard, in the video of shock resistance test shown below, I am not afraid to knock the watch on the table with a big strength, much harder than knocking the other digital watches I bought before, the crystal face and LED screen on the dial are all ok after the test. Each button, including the crown, is being protected by the guards set around on the case.
The red dial has two sections on the top and bottom that display date and time separately. The two LED screens have back light when you press the light button set on the case, one button is at 10 o’clock, the other light button is at 6 o’clock. The week is displayed in an interesting way, do you know what day it is shown on the dial? Yes, it is Sunday, the “SU” has a different font color, which is black, while the other letters that represent Monday to Friday are in white at that time. The stainless steel hands on the center are also very convenient for you to read time from the dial.
The Foxbox FB0029 from Lige watch company is a very good digital watch, it is the most solid and strongly made digital watch I have ever gotten. Compared with Skmei, Sanda, Synoke and Smael, This Foxbox watch has the best quality, but its price is absolutely much higher. However, such type of G-Shock style digital watches are not the main products of Lige, I think the company just needs such watch to get more traffic to promote the other watches on their website. So, unfortunately Lige does not make too many G style digital watches, you can only see several options, not as many styles as other digital brands such as Skmei and Synoke.
