THE PACKAGING

The transparent plastic cover contains:

• The watch itself.
• A small card with a 1-year international guarantee.

Even though there is a guarantee card, it does not show any of their servicing centers, no proper contact information, no dealer stamp, and not even the date of purchase… Very shady indeed. So if anything happens to that watch, you will have to send it back to the online seller instead and hopefully, they honor a return or replacement.

The packaging is also missing an instruction manual – A simple piece of paper to explain how to set the time and change the battery would have been nice. A cleaning cloth would have been a nice addition too.

THE DESIGN

The watch itself might look a bit messy but not over the top, with multiple features on the watch face itself.

• There is no bezel on the watch.
• The overall color of the watch itself is mainly white/silver which is pretty common among luxury watches.
• The watch face is a square shape with white markings and watch hands.
• Wordings are kept to a minimal, with only the branding and model number below.
• The number markings are shown at the sides of the watch dial, which can be quite disorientating as you will have to tilt the watch a bit to look at the markings.
• It contains a few sub-dials, but are actually fake and don’t work.

FUNCTIONS

This watch is supposed to have 3 functions:

• The crown can be pulled out and turns to adjust the time.
• The “buttons” above and below the crown are supposed to adjust the day and date of the watch… But they are fixed and don’t work at all.
• Yep, this means that all the sub-dials on the watch face are fake, and just for show. Not cool.

BUILD QUALITY

The watch case is a Stainless Steel build, has a water resistance of up to 30m and is very resistant to scratches. It is plenty safe enough for you to use outdoors, and even survive heavy rains. Although diving or swimming with it is definitely out of the equation.

The back of the watch case is also made of stainless steel with a few wordings. Seems to be pretty snug, and in no danger of a nasty falling apart surprise. Lastly, this watch does feel a bit on the heavy side, but not too bad. Still, it can be pretty uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time.

WATCH MOVEMENT

Not too sure what is inside the LongBo, but based on the price point, it should be a Chinese standard Tong Ji. Not the best, but even after wearing it for a few weeks, the movement still follows up precisely, which is neat. Similar to quartz watches, it is battery-powered and you will have to replace the battery once every few years.

STRAPS

People who have metal allergy will have to take extra care as the watch straps are made of stainless steel. Apart from that, this strap is fuss-free with a push-button fold-over clasp – Which opens by pressing both buttons together.

The length of the watch bracelet seems to be pretty comfortable out-of-the-box. But if it is too tight or too loose while wearing it, you might want to bring it to a watch shop for some adjustments (the pins of the bracelet are difficult to remove).
