Variants — Two Colour Configurations
Black/red: Black exoskeleton case with red accents — the more aggressive and higher-contrast configuration. The red details read as racing and motorsport-adjacent.
Grey/yellow: Silver-grey exoskeleton with yellow accents — the more subdued and contemporary version. Yellow creates a different, more urban character than the red.
OLED Display
OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) creates each pixel by direct light emission rather than backlighting a liquid crystal matrix (LCD). The result: higher contrast (black pixels are completely off, not grey), brighter visible colours, and better outdoor readability in direct sunlight.
The BenlyDesign X7000 uses OLED with ITO glass substrate — the display element that provides both the touch sensitivity layer and the transparent conductor for the pixel matrix. The combination creates a sharper, more vibrant digital display than standard LCD digital watches.
Raise-to-wake: The display is off when not in use — preserving battery life and creating the “clean when idle” appearance. Tilting the wrist to approximately 60 degrees and holding for one second activates the display. This is a deliberate design choice rather than a limitation — an always-on OLED display would significantly reduce the 30-month battery life.
Zinc Alloy Case
The case is manufactured from zinc alloy — a cast metal commonly used in fashion watches, hardware and consumer electronics cases. Zinc alloy is less hard than stainless steel and more susceptible to surface wear over time; the IP plasma plating (a physical vapour deposition process) creates a hard surface coating that resists corrosion and reduces wear on the alloy beneath.
For buyers comparing to stainless steel watches: zinc alloy is lighter, allows more complex case geometries through die-casting (which is how the sculpted armored design is achieved) and is adequate for daily dress and casual wear. It is not appropriate for heavy-duty impact or abrasion environments where solid stainless steel is preferred.
The caseback uses stainless steel — the component exposed to skin contact uses the more durable and hypoallergenic material.
17.7mm Thickness
At 17.7mm the Gladiator X7000 is substantially thicker than any analog watch in the range. The OLED display module, case depth and battery housing contribute to this height. Buyers who are accustomed to 10–13mm watches will find the 17.7mm significantly more pronounced on the wrist. For buyers who specifically want the industrial, armored aesthetic, the thickness is intentional and appropriate.
Thermometer
The thermometer function measures ambient temperature — not body temperature. For accurate readings, remove the watch from your wrist and allow it to equilibrate to the surrounding air temperature for a few minutes before checking; the watch worn on the wrist will read elevated due to body heat proximity. The Celsius/Fahrenheit toggle allows switching between measurement systems.
30-Month Battery
Most digital watches use non-replaceable batteries or CR batteries with 1–2 year life. The BenlyDesign’s 30-month (2.5 year) Japanese cell and replaceable design means the watch continues after the initial battery without requiring replacement unit purchase.
3ATM Water Resistance
Splash and rain only — not suitable for swimming. The 43.7×49mm case and 3ATM rating is standard for a digital fashion watch. The multiple function buttons and large case geometry limit water resistance to incidental exposure.
Who Is the BenlyDesign Gladiator X7000 For?
The X7000 is built for:
- OLED digital watch buyers who want the brighter, higher-contrast display format over standard LCD digital watches
- Retro-futuristic / Y2K aesthetic buyers who want the armored industrial exoskeleton case design
- Thermometer function buyers who want the ambient temperature measurement alongside standard watch functions
- 30-month battery buyers who want extended battery life on a replaceable cell digital watch

Product Features
- Unique OLED Display
The Gladiator Watches adopts unique OLED display method, using extremely thin organic material coatings and ITO glass substrates. The liquid structure of OLED makes the display brighter and the colors more vivid, thus OLED is called the “Dream display”, which is very rare in the field of watches.
- The streamlined appearance of the Gladiator
The Gladiator adopts the design of racing watches and utilizes OLED display to enhance the visual impact of time display. The streamlined super strong metal integrated exoskeleton makes the Gladiator even more “Robust. “IP plasma plating can reduce surface depressions, damage, and corrosion caused by long-term use, accompanying you through longer journeys.
- Innovative OLED display
Raise-to-wake function
The groundbreaking OLED display Raise-to-wake feature allows the Cyber Watches to quickly show the time when tilted at 60° angle and held for 1 second.
BENLYDESIGN collaborated with a professional testing team to conduct over 100,000 rounds of testing, including walking swing tests, exercise swing tests, waving swing tests, sleep swing tests, and over 72 other possible scenarios of accidental touches. This effectively prevents the majority of accidental touches. This greatly extends the battery life.
- Ready to Challenge
The Gladiator is custom-stamped from high-strength, contoured monolithic machinery, boasting high structural integrity akin to a gladiator. Through processes like plasma sandblasting and shot peening, it attains a sleek, aesthetic form while reducing surface depressions, damage, and corrosion from long-term use. Ready to take on any challenge, the Gladiator is incredibly sturdy, robust, and durable.
