Guanqin is a Chinese brand that produces cheap mechanical and quartz watches, with acceptable quality. There are a lot of brands here in China like Guanqin, but not as famous as it, because these brands can not offer a great quality while still keeping the same configuration as Guanqin at the same time. Actually Guanqin is a big watch company, they have a great collection of watches, whose prices range from 20 USD to even 300 USD, so customers will find a lot of choices when browsing their website. Actually there are not many Chinese brands like Guanqin that has such a large collection and occupies a great market share of the low-end watches.
Today, the Guanqin watch I am going to introduce is a homage watch of green Submariner of Rolex, actually this Guanqin is not really a homage, it just looks similar to the green hulk. Before, I bought the black one, and my teammate saw my watch, he like it and bought this green one, now he and me usually exchanged watches to wear.
The watch comes in a box with a Guanqin bag, they also sent me one extra battery and a cloth. The watch is fully made with stainless steel, it has a considerable weight, the case is absolutely solid stainless steel made, but I doubt the bracelet, perhaps it it not solid stainless steel made, it is hollow because I feel the bracelet is a little thin, the crown is not screwed down, so I guess the watch is not 50m water resistant as Guanqin claims, and I suggest you do not wear it when swimming, do not rinse the watch with water. The finish on the case and bracelet is just ok, not that good on watches from big brands, but the polishing on each case corner is also smooth, not hurt your wrist. The green bezel insert is not ceramic made, but also stainless steel.
The green dial has some similar designs to the dial of green sub, such as the hour markers and benz hands. Each hour marker is filled with white luminous material, so are the hands, they will have a green lume light in dark conditions. The green color is different when you compare this watch and the green sub. The watch also uses a magnifier lens on the crystal to show the date more clear.
The watch uses a quartz movement, many Chinese brand watches now use similar designs to Swiss watches and install a quartz movement inside, they are very popular. In the word, the watch can keep time accurate, with a battery, no need to worry that it will stop suddenly, at a low cost, you can not buy such a beautiful watch from other places, by the way, Guanqin offers four color options for this watch.
