Loreo Automatic Sapphire Watch review
The watch arrived timely, satchel with bubble protection however the watch box could be more sturdy, slight dents on corners I presume from during transport. It did not damage the item.The watch looks great however the dial color does not seem to look like the advertised item, it looks more like a light bluish purplish color under indoor lighting, the camera of the phone just captures a more detailed photo but when you look at it from a distance or angle it shows less of the color.I have had this for several weeks now and am finding the time running well, a +1 sec increase only.The watch holds well against water running from the sink and shower. I have not tried this watch underwater so I cannot comment on the 20atm proof, however I will try the watch when I go for a swim in the pool or beach after the covid restrictions and update this review afterwards.The watch is somewhat heavy and has a big dial for my wrist and physique. The bracelet links feels solid and high grade which adds elegance and quality feel to it. The double locking mechanism makes it secure and also easy to undo for removal.The unidirectional bezel has a moderate give but doesn't seem to affect it's position when set. I do not know how it functions underwater though so I cannot truely say if it will be reliable when you go for a small dive.The cons for me are the date window as it is too small, a magnifying window lens would have been helpful. the dial illumination does not last long in the night and I struggle to see the time in the dark. The crown is somewhat tricky to fit in properly when you try to screw it in, it takes a few tries to get the snug & secure lock feel. The clasp piece seem to be easily scratched which cosmetically makes it look old too quickly. The watch does not come in several dial sizes so not too much choices for people of smaller physical stature.The pros for me are the overall build quality of the watch, it looks and feels like a more expensive watch. The sapphire crystal seems to work well and does not scratch easily with accidental bumps against walls or tables. The links feels elegantly solid and expensive. The time is reliable and accurate so far, I haven't adjusted the time for weeks now. The free tool comes in handy for adjusting the link screws, Overall I would be happy to recommend and buy another Loreo watch for it's unmatched price for having a sapphire crystal with great value for it's features, quality build material and design.I would buy another Loreo however I would love to see more choices of dial sizes and a solar type of Loreo watches in the future.
