Casio AE-1200WH 'Royale' vs Skmei 1299 1335 comparison and review  

Casio needs to implement that beautiful light that SKMEI provides. I have used SKMEI for more than 1.5 years and the only problem was its build quality. Even G-shock has some serious light issues that should not be there for the price tag of $100.

Very nice review with comparison.. Casio is clear winner.. But i have skmei from last six plus months.. It was flawless performing..

Buy Casio. For a few more bucks you get 10 atm, 10 year battery (i.e you don't need to open the watch) much better quality, 5 alarms, 49 cities time, a nice map, analogue watch. I have that version with green map and goldish display.

Pro tip: if you live in a hot climate, get the steel band - it will be cooler on your wrist and not sweat. If you live in a cold climate, get the plastic band - it won't feel cold on your wrist when you put it on. If you live in a middle climate, get the steel band - more durable and more fun, and it only takes a minute for the band to warm up to your skin temp. I have the AE-1200 in silver metal, but bought the 1382 in black metal just for a fun toy. Really though, the best go to watch is one that is atomic radio synced and solar. It's too bad neither of these are either. With an atomic/solar, you know it's always right and never dead, you never have to replace batteries on it, and you can turn on all the features and use them without care because it solar recharges. On battery watches, you tend to leave everything off like alarms, stopwatch, etc to stretch out battery life as much as possible. I prefer an atomic/solar over my smart watch any day of the week - you never have to fucking recharge it, ever, and it's hassle free.

Casio ♥️ AE-1200HW but steel bracelet edition

if only casio has the same luminous light with skmei.

For this price, buy the real deal. Thanks for this review!

Yeah sometimes i just dont understand why create a cheap homage watch while the 'real one' is actually cheap aswell?? Probably because of the colour selection and sensation???? But back then almost buy myself a skmei before i realised the real thing.. love my Casio AE1200WH till now and not regret at all..

Hi, nice review! But there is skmei 1382 which have more features than casio. But still, I think quality wise casio wins

Skmei is better surely? Unless you need 5 alarms and world time zones... I'd rather save 50% and have the much better EL backlight!! Plus the day readout is much larger also :)

The multiplex to drive the what 120 segments of the top left panel individually must be quite something on Casio. This module on original Casio can't be cheap. I wish actually this just one section was a full size watch! Skmei just reused what IC they had at hand... but the case do be looking nice. I heard some people get Skmei to plant Casio innards into the case.

6:15 Nice soup 👍😂

Where to buy Casio ? It's much more expensive than 20$

The analog LCD dial and orange LED light basically makes the Casio original the clear superior winner here. If Casio would sell the different colour variations EVERYWHERE, people wouldn't have to get the chinese knock offs. But hey, you can buy both and use the cases of the SKMEI ones.

Great analysation..😄😄 non biased review..after all the result is from an expert..😄👍

There's more SKMEI with same model, SKMEI 1382. itbhas pedometer and compass, the circle display as compass.

Nice comparison, I hope there's more to come.

Skmei forever

Casio wins with 100m water resistant. These watch debates always end with that.

Can the bracelet be replaced ?

digitec 3080 also similar mate, please review it

Just to add, Casio comes with longer warranty.

Skmei 1335 is best.

There´s a Skmei 1335 with compas. The SKMEI 1382.

please review skmei 1373, it's a better version of skmei 1299 with extra function which is compass

The difference in price is ridiculous: why should I consider to buy the fake ones?

No era mejor comparar con el Skmei 1382 ?

Does skmei 1299 have 24 hour stop watch?

Random question. I've scratched the case on my ae1200 up a fair bit and was just going to get another, but the price here is now £40 (~$50) where the SKMEI is only £10. Would the *case* from the SKMEI fit the module and faceplate of the ae1200?

Does the casio module fit in the skmei case

One drawback from SKMEI is the clock circle is just dummy not like Casio who actually perform as analog digital watch

maybe if they put ROLEX logo on the SKMEI watch logo,it would be more desirable,just kidding.have this casio AE-1200WH,nice lightweight watch

And comparisson with skmei 1373, if you have 😁...

is there a patent on this casio watch model,i wonder.

Nice review...

Does Casio ae1200wh have scratch mirror resistance glass ?

skmei 1335 for only 189 pesos hahaha almost 2 dollar wooww only

Skemi winns...i think

ne ne, ne mano :)

The only problem with SKMEI: Bad viewing angle....

Nice watch cooking 😂
