Saw this popup from my feed. "SYNOKE 61576 Sports Men Waterproof Outdoor Watch - GRAY" that's currently on sale at GearBest for USD $2.99, and coupon code AFFMPP60 brings it down to USD $1.99 (~AUD $2.50) delivered. That's quite a throw-away price for a sports watch that has alarm, illumination backlit, stop watch and claimed 30m waterproof.

Review video on YouTube.

Edit: Removed "Waterproof" in the title.

  • GearBest product pages says "Waterproof"
  • WR 50M on the watchband itself
  • "30M Waterproof" on this image on GearBest
  • It's been pointed out that in the video it failed the water test.

YMMV.

    In case you don't have time to watch the video: it is not water resistant at all.

    Even just placed in a glass of water it started filling with water after just a few minutes. It survived though after being taken out, disassembled and dried.

    • CyberMurning on 31/01/2018 - 15:59

      someone in the factory didnt know meaning of word waterproof….

    • aussieprepper on 31/01/2018 - 16:19

      Yea but it still worked thus being waterproof lol.

      Maybe the factory ran out of O-rings that day and they got a dodgy one.

      (Edit) When he takes the watch apart it appears to have a gasket around the glass but that may just be glue?

    • Kikkoman56 on 31/01/2018 - 17:57

      Maybe I got lucky but I've had this watch for about 3 or 4 years, couldn't find the email invoice to know when I ordered it but I've taken it to the beach countless times and I never had what happened to the guy in the video. Probably that 'consistent' chinese quality control chiming in… Regardless mine's still working and at this price it's great.

      Even just placed in a glass of water it started filling with water after just a few minutes.

      That's normal for any watch rated 3ATM (30 metres) and eventually 5ATM (50 metres).

    • AlienC on 31/01/2018 - 18:19

      So not shower proof?
      Sometimes I like to time my showers so I don't waste too much water and pay too much.

    Nice find scotty, this watch is very similar to the Skmei 1068 which has been popular on Ozbargain in the past.

    Specs will be the same -

    • Crystal/Lens - Resin
    • Diameter - 47mm
    • Thickness - 15mm
    • EL Backlight
    • Alarm, Day, Date and Stopwatch function
    • Hourly Chime

      Just pay thru paypal then raise a dispute if not delivered. You have to give at least 4-6 weeks though for unregistered stuff to arrive from online china shops. My experience, anyway.

    why would anyone want to buy this piece of crap?

    ok so it's cheap. but really?

    it's not even water resistant

    • PJC on 31/01/2018 - 19:17

      It's adequate for rain and perhaps a brief shower, same as many fashion watches costing 80 times this price.

      • jamesvdm on 31/01/2018 - 19:58

        Other comments suggest it's not.

    • rawm on 31/01/2018 - 19:22

      • Because it's cheap
      • Because it's good value for money
      • Because we are aware of it's flimsiness, but it will be a decent addition as budget watch
      • Because it's my father in law's birthday in 6 weeks
      • Because it's fun to buy stuff online
      • Because OzBargain makes you buy things you don't need but buy anyway
      • Because some of us aren't millionaires with $500 timepieces on our wrists
      • Because we know SYNOKE and SKMEI make great watches for the price
      • Because some of us don't care if we can't swim/shower with it
      • Because different people have different needs
      • Because it's cheap

          @MuscleRulz:

          Well I bought a few bracelets & a watch which all look like good value to me. However, can't confirm any of that until they arrive…

          So after several Members confirmed these specific watches were significantly cheaper elsewhere you purchased this one …

    Received mine today. Definitely a lot bigger than I'm used to but that should make it easy to read. It'll do for work until my Amazfit BIP arrives.

    As so cheap, ordered spare in case first fails due to water damage!
    Both arrived today.
    Nice big display as commented by sween64

    My Father complains he can't read the time at night on his expensive analog watch😒 (Gave him a torch from a deal so he can see - not impressed. Hope he's happier with this gift!).

    But, light on 1 does not work. Removed back - switch works but bulb circuit doesn't😞 Says check as OK inside watch. Lodged complaint about fault…
    Light on other watch is very dim - hard to read in dark.

    Instructions state:
    "Note: This watch can get wet in the rain, wash your hands, but it can't swim waterproof!"
    So much for GearBest claim it is "Waterproof", shows WR 50M & swimmer on back of watch! (Had reported so Waterproof was removed soon after deal posted.)

          Strange how I missed that more expensive deal😀

          Seems more like a game…
          Level 1 completed (free cheap watch),
          Level 2 (more expensive watches - challenge is to get free more expensive watches)

          I was not allowed a watch until I started working - at a much older age :-(

          When I was 9 I took a clock apart, but could only make it go backwards. That impressed me, but not my parents - it was their clock.
