Quick verdict

This is a low-cost 40.5mm stainless steel Submariner-style watch listed with a quartz movement, mineral glass and a screw-down crown. The spec block contradicts itself on movement and display, and no independent buyer evidence covers this listing. Confirm movement, display and bezel material with the seller before ordering.

Pros

  • · Catalog lists a stainless steel case and bracelet, a screw-down crown and a horseshoe clasp.
  • · 40.5mm dial diameter with an 11mm case thickness is stated in the listing.
  • · Mineral hardened glass, foam packaging and a store warranty are listed.

Cons

  • · The spec block is internally inconsistent: it declares a quartz movement while naming caliber 2813, an automatic Miyota 8215 clone, and claims an analog + digital display on a round Submariner-style dial.
  • · Buyers of the 40mm quartz Submariner-style class report recurring assembly misalignment, with dial and hands, or bezel scale and dial, not lining up.
  • · Owners of cheaper green-bezel Submariner-look watches report painted bezels flaking to base metal after light use; the listing does not state the bezel material.
  • · Owners of cheap quartz Submariner-look watches report audible ticking and lightweight, loosely fitting bracelets.
  • · The catalog states the watch is not waterproof.

Fit notes

The catalog lists a 40.5mm dial diameter and 11mm case thickness, marketed for men, on a stainless steel bracelet with a horseshoe clasp. Lug width, bracelet length and wrist sizing are not stated, so confirm them with the seller.

Buy if

You want the gray Submariner look at a low price and are willing to have the movement type, display and bezel material confirmed in writing before paying for it.

Skip if

You need stated water resistance, since the catalog says it is not waterproof, or a quiet sweep, since cheap quartz Submariner-style watches are reported to tick audibly. Skip it if you want a documented movement without asking.

Buying FAQ

Common questions

Which movement ships with this watch?⌄

The listing declares quartz but also names caliber 2813, which is an automatic Miyota 8215 clone found in budget Rolex-style watches. Ask the seller which movement the watch you receive will actually have.

Is it waterproof?⌄

The catalog states it is not waterproof, so treat it as a watch to keep away from water.

Does it have an analog + digital display?⌄

The spec block says analog + digital while describing a round Submariner-style dial with hands. That contradiction should be resolved with the seller before ordering.

Do the reviews in this segment confirm quality?⌄

Weidian listings in the same green-dial Submariner-style segment collect almost entirely 5-star comments, but they read as short, templated and often photo-free, so they carry little independent weight for this listing.

What should I ask about the bezel?⌄

The listing does not state the bezel material, and owners of cheaper green-bezel Submariner-look watches report painted bezels flaking to base metal. Ask whether the bezel insert is ceramic or painted.

Will it tick?⌄

Owners of cheap quartz Submariner-look watches report ticking audible enough to hear when the watch rests on a desk. That is class-level context for the price tier rather than a finding about this item.

Evidence

Public notes used

durability · con · 40% confidence

Owners of very cheap green-dial Submariner-look watches report the green bezel is painted rather than ceramic, with paint flaking off to reveal the base metal after light use — relevant risk for low-cost green-bezel quartz copies, though this evidence comes from a cheaper tier of the same sold look rather than this exact listing.

durability · con · 40% confidence

Quartz Submariner-look watches at the cheap end are reported by owners to tick audibly — noticeable enough to be heard when the watch is laid on a desk — and to be very light with loosely fitting bracelets, so buyers wanting a quiet sweep or heft should not expect it at this price point.

other · tip · 70% confidence

The listing's own spec block is internally inconsistent for a Submariner-style watch: it declares a quartz (石英) movement while listing caliber '2813' (an automatic Miyota 8215 clone used in cheap Rolex-style fakes), and claims an 'analog + digital' display on a round Submariner dial. Buyers should confirm which movement and display they are actually receiving before ordering.

Source
quality · con · 52% confidence

In buyer reviews of the 40mm green-dial quartz Submariner-style watch class, a recurring complaint is assembly misalignment: the dial and hands are not aligned with each other and the bezel scale does not line up with the dial, which the reviewer describes as a common flaw of this quartz class rather than a one-off defect.

quality · mixed · 55% confidence

Watch-community write-ups place quartz and generic 2813-based Rolex-style watches in the lowest replica tier: hobbyists describe them as easily spotted (case, crystal, hands, indices and bracelet give them away), while a few owners of DG2813 watches report usable accuracy; the 2813 is a Miyota 8215 clone of contested quality commonly found in budget Rolex fakes.

Source
quality · mixed · 35% confidence

Weidian watch listings in the same green-dial Submariner-style segment accumulate almost entirely 5-star reviews praising looks, timekeeping and gift packaging, but the comments read as short, templated and seller-prompted praise with no photos in many cases, so they carry little independent weight for judging this specific listing.
