Case
The case of this watch has a very familiar and known look, as several other brands are using the same design. The case is of 316 stainless steel, and is 43 mm wide.
There’s not a lot of details on this watch, but that makes a clean-looking nice design.
The bezel on top rotates in counter-clockwise directing, and has a click sound and feel when rotating. This is a nice detail on such a reasonable priced watch.
The two buttons on the side, control the chronograph stopwatch, but has no click feel. Most watches in this price range don’t have it…
The total weight of the watch is 128 grams, and is water resistance to 3 Bar.
Thickness is informed to be 9 mm, but including the rotating bezel and glass, i measured it to 12.5 mm.
Dial
The dial is covered by a Hardlex window, and is decorated with some metal + white details.
The pointers are of shiny metal, where the hour and minute has a white area for luminescent. All white details (hour, minute, circles), are luminescent, so you can tell the time in darkness.
Sub-dials are all functional. Right side shows hour-of-day, bottom shows second (stopwatch), left shows minutes (stopwatch). They are not luminescent.
There is also a date wheel, stylishly placed on the side in an angle.
Strap/Band
The metal band is 22 mm wide, and becomes more narrow near the clasp (16mm). Bands feel good, and are of good quality.
Clasp on this watch is of the flip lock type, and is a bit hard to close. I need to push quite hard to close it, but it comes off without any problems.
Conclusion
This Sinobi watch looks good, and has a few nice details with the rotating bezel, white details and the nicely detailed pointers.
