Very simple. Easy to get a watch.
The prize will be one digital watch, brand is Synoke, this watch is cheap, but it is the toughest digital watch I have ever seen, if you have seen the three tests I made on it in the past, you will know how high quality this watch is. Please check the test videos again below.
Like mechanical watches, there are also big three brands of digital watches made in China, they are Skmei, Smael and Synoke. They are very popular and being sold very well on some platforms such as aliexpress, dhgate and amazon. Today, I will make a summary about the top ten digital watches that have a similar style to G-Shock, hope this guide will help you when you are looking for such type of watches for yourself or your child.
1.Skmei
A brand that has been in this field for more than ten years. In the beginning, they only produced G-style digital watches, now they have enriched their products, you can find digital watches, mechanical watches, quartz watches and even smart watches in their store.They also made some eye-catching and beautiful digital watches for children. They offer a black iron box for each watch, please take a look at my review on Skmei 1988, their watch has a great quality.
2.Smael
I think this is the toughest digital watch from China, I got the 8058 model before and made several tests on it, the watch is not only water resistant, but also shows a very good performance in shock resistance, the Smael is high quality, even I step on this watch with my feet vigorously, it is still ok and the LED screen can show you the accurate time.
3.Synoke
Like Skmei, Synoke also has been in this field for more than ten years, the watches from both companies have a similar style. But Synoke gives me an impression that they are more active in digital watches made for students. Some digital watches made for primary school students are very attractive. The watches they made have a great quality, take the 9619B model as an example, it is a full black watch and comes in an iron box like G-Shock, even in a small size, the watch has a good performance in shockness and toughness test. It is a very good watch for men who wear for outdoor activities.
4.Sanda(be cautious)
About Sanda, the digital watches from them have the closest outlook to G-Shock, but I do not have a good impression of this brand, because the first watch I got from them is broken during the toughness test. The LED screen on the Sanda 6030 model is broken and can not show time completely. You can check my review about this watch and will know what has happened then. Perhaps the one the seller just sent me is not too good, I do not know, just be cautilus if you want to pick a watch from them.
5.Stryve
Most digital watches which Stryve makes have a G-shock style. Stryve watches are more suitable for people who have a large wrist because their watches have a bigger size and feel much heavier than other digital watches. Take the one in rainbow color as an example, it is more than 110 grams and has a style which the Brazilian loves more. Stryve has a solid quality and has also passed through several tests I made, I think it deserves a higher position than Sanda in this list.
6.Sport
Is “Sport” a registered watch brand? I did not find any digital watches being sold under this brand name on aliexpress and amazon, but I found a lot of digital watches that are using this name Sport on 1688.com. They are sold at cheap prices and look good, I bought a black one and it works well, the watch has a good performance in shock resistant test and water resistant test. Besides, the name “Sport” is much better than any other brand names to be used by these watches.
7.Ohsen
They make good digital watches that have a very similar look to G-shock. I bought a green model from them before, the watch is very cheap but still comes with a black iron box. The watch also passed through the shock resistant test and water resistant test. For the G-style digital watches they make, they are more suitable for primary school students.
8.FoxBox
You may not hear this watch, it is a sub-brand from Lige watch company in China, actually they do not make too many G-Shock style watches, but there are several pieces that are really in good quality, including the red FB0029 model I introduced on my blog. The watch looks like having a better quality than most other digital watches I reviewed, but its price is also a bit higher. If you want to find G-style digital watches in diverse options, then FoxBox is not a right option.
9.Shhors
This is a small watch-making company and produces digital watches for students and men. The digital watches for primary school students from Shhors have several features of their own. Other models for men are just copies of the G-style watches. It should have ranked higher on this list but I do not have a good experience. The Shhors watch I bought has an unreasonable design, which is their four operation buttons are not under protection and will easily cause misoperation. And there is no metal box included in the package.
10.Olevs
Olevs is famous for making cheap mechanical watches with fancy dial designs, they like to use cheap diamonds and cheap gold plating. Well, you can also find several digital watches on their store, I do not like their design, take the black and golden model I reviewed before, I do not like it because the golden screw-style crown makes the entire watch look a little weird, but if you do not want to spend too much on a golden or two tone automatic mens watch, Olevs may appear in your consideration list.
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.
