how to spot a fake casio watch - dont be a victim! 

I can understand faking a Rolex but a Casio?! Fakes didn't exist when I used to sell Casios for a living (from 1979 to 1981). I still wear wear one every day.

I never would have expected this watch to be faked. Amazing. Very informative video.

Thank you for sharing your expertise, this is very useful 👌👌

The words on the watches is different too, look at casio and the WR, the colours.

This watch is one of the few things in life which u can buy which are original low priced and good quality. My A158 has worked in rain and shine for the last 7 years without a hitch.

7:08 Hold only the right button it will show you Casio.

Very interesting! I like to say and think my Casio DW-9900 has a similar secret to Rolex in that at the six o'clock position, there is a very hard to see serial number on my Casio. Similar to the very hard to see crown at the six o'clock position on a Rolex. Thank goodness most G-Shock fakes are horrible quality and can be seen more than a mile away.

wow, could not imagine $16 casios being cloned

Great review ..Ive both genuine and fake ..Also another big give away is the colour of the blue outlining around the screen fakes tend to be lighter blue n genuine darker blue..But the fake ive got has a seriously loud alarm beep...dreadful lcd though like uve stated.. Also the back plate on fakes is a massive give away they cannot master the brushing as casio do...Plus fakes tend to say made in japan..Theyre not made there anymore as far as im aware hence no U on the inner casing...Its mind boggling how theyll fake nowadays a £12+ casio legend...Why casio didnt make this watch into a 38mm is beyond me theyd go tenfold on sales as they are a seriously small LEGEND piece that we love n hate all in one.. Must have for die hard casio vintage collectors...😁

I agree with everything you said, but....I don't understand how a making of the fake F91, which is cheaper than a meal at McDonalds can be financially ok....I really don't understand....my advice for anyone is - buy a watch from the reputable seller....a possibility of buying a fake is small, but a possibility of piece of mind is really big....it's not going to be a cheapest possible option but it will be hassle-free. I got absolutely nothing against the fake watch sellers even though I don't care about their reasons, but I got a lot against the people which are buying those watches....those things are just a bait for the fish. By the way, that fake is really produced good, no matter what..I mean, can really anyone complaint about the cheap looking circuitry if the price tag is ....symbolic I must say? Don't forget.....without a demand a supply wouldn't exist, that's for sure.

interesting!!

Good info.

Excellent video. Thanks for the tips 👍:)

I’ve two ‘first copy’ A171s. One needs to have really trained eyes to identify that these are fakes.

thank you for your knowledge!

Where I am, a genuine costs $60 aud to buy. I got a fake from eBay for $17. - My fake does the Casio screen and the jumbled symbols trick. - The screws are exactly how you described for the genuine where one of the lines goes all the way. - The back is brushed stainless. - The screen is clear from all angles. You can read the time at all angles. - The ‘U’ is in fact tiny and almost non visible as on the genuine watches The reason I know it’s fake is the packaging it came in, my watch says made in Malaysia, all f91w are made in china and will say so. I also know my one is a fake because the bell symbol is the alarm and the stripes are the hourly chime. Should be the other way around. I also know my one is fake because I bought it off eBay 😂 I don’t care though, it is accurate and keeps time within a millisecond when comparing to my phone and only cost me $17 and not $60. I wanted a new watch to use daily and beat the crap out of and not care and this one does the job well.

I bought one from AUS Amazon a couple of months ago and it has no U at the bottom.

What quality difference is there between them?

Who fakes an f91w?
