SKMEI is not bad, I got one 3 years ago. And it still working, not even a battery change needed.

@minitwatch 6 лет назад

That's good to know!

@leomedina5614 4 года назад

Kyle Leung I agree. I bought one and it lasted me 2 years until I lost it but it was super accurate and amazingly a great beater watch!

@mbahismu4156 4 года назад

I agree. SKMEI is the good choice for chinese brand watch (compared to other chinese ones). For fair comparison, CASIO should be compared to SKMEI 1382, which has same form factor but has more features such as compass, etc., and in different / closer price range of course. The downside of most SKMEIs (digital version) is that their plastic window are not scratch resistance.

@moundain4220 3 года назад

Ive had a Skemei for 3years now it has analog and Digital time but the analog stopped working after I accidentally dropped it ince but the Digital still works and I haven't needed a battery change yet.

@serlolol Год назад

I got the black 1335 for the metal strap and only the strap, the other remaining parts i used them to experiment with modding (painting it and checking out colour filter combinations etc)

@lostson1st 5 месяцев назад

I bought this skmei for a bracelet for my black royale. Fits perfectly.

@yajkushal1995 3 месяца назад

How’s the quality of strap ?

@Jasshands1 5 лет назад

There's a new version of the skmei, has way more functionality and costs more. Can decide between the new skmei or the casio. I hate the light on the casio.

@BrakkoJanus 5 лет назад

I thought EL LUMINOUS was Spanish...

@JohnThomas-su5bw 6 лет назад

The Casio is only $14,might as well just buy the real thing.

@snekker9480 Год назад

Not now. €50 for the real thing. €10 dor the skmei

@martynm7947 6 лет назад

Got two Casio versions and the black Skmei. It's great, just ordered a military green version of the Skmei.

@blackinkonpaper 6 лет назад

I randomly bought the AE1200 silver at Walmart recently because it was on clearance with no display stand or booklet for 10 bucks. I wouldn't have bought it otherwise, not sure about the square shape and the prominent World Time features. But it's a nice watch even for the suggested retail price. I adjusted the silver band it feels good. Plus it has a full countdown timer, 5 alarms and 24-hr stopwatch besides all the time-zones. and can mute the beeps. The watch shape still feels too large for me, but it may grow on me. It's worth the price of admission for a different watch!

@ciochinabogdanvasile 4 года назад

Really have both, love the back Light on the skmei more

@noobiewatcherz9938 4 года назад

The font of the "5" is easier to read as well as the other numbers on the SKMEI which is kinda sad for the Casio. if it weren't for the stupid flashing look on the top left for every second that changes, the SKMEI definitely looks better.

@Triole666 6 лет назад

Would it be possible to transplant the Skmei's EL backlight into the Casio?

@brasherish Год назад

Thank you for the review. I just purchased the SKMAE 1335 and so far do good. It woth stood sea water and sand and mumerous dips in the bath. Seems quite robust will it last?:lets see only time will tell.

@TSC369 5 лет назад

Thanks for the comparative review. There is a newer model of the above Chinese brand: Skmei 1382 which I think has more useful functions (including compass and pedometer) than "Casio Royal" and is the best value for money if you are open to upcoming global brands like Skmei. Try reviewing it if possible. Thanks. Love from Nepal

6 лет назад

I don't understand the logic behind copying something that's already cheap...

@minitwatch 6 лет назад

*shrug*. I feel like they are much cheaper in certain areas like India so they have their markets.

@aalaptube 4 года назад

Skmei is about 50%-75% the price of low end similar Casio models here in India, not really worth it, considering Casio has way more features, better components (steel backs and screws), and is backed by a warranty. I ordered a genuine Royale black with resin strap for equivalent of ~USD 20, and Digilog Gold (Skmei sells same watches to other brands too) with metal strap for ~USD 5 just for fun.

@deldia 4 года назад

Good point.

@nsfeliz7825 3 года назад

here on the third world 10dollars is food for 3 days. so a ten dollar skmei versus a 20 dollar casio is a big deal.

@mountainhobo 6 лет назад

So it's a ripoff of a ripoff of the Seiko G757?

@minitwatch 6 лет назад

The Royale was inspired by it but not blatantly ripped off like the schemey :p

@Bergwacht 4 года назад

how to take the links out? that watch is to big for me... i cant find splints to press out...

@minitwatch 6 лет назад

I saw this thing and I was like WHOA new CASIO? Then I was like WHOA, FAKE CASIO! I had to get it. So yeah, make sure you guys check out the end bit at 09:56 :) I think it's going to be an important thing. Thanks, guys!

@privateidaho1029 6 лет назад

That was an epic burp at 02:56 ! Great review of a piece of crap that belongs at the bottom of a cereal box.

@alabanzarobert 6 лет назад

minitwatch Hey Kurt. Can you do a review on SRPB71 if you happen to get a hold of one. It's one of to those cheaper Presage models. Thanks!

@Revolver1981 6 лет назад

minitwatch Why do you not like the bracelet on the Casio? It's top notch. I've had the exact same stainless steel Casio Watch for over a year. It's top drawer ya fool.

@tripsadelica 5 лет назад

Look...Skmei make a wide range of cheap and cheerful, robust watches. They are very good value for the peanuts you pay for them. I've got a range of their models...none have been faulty...all keep reasonable time and although the bands may be "rickety" they work and they are secure.

@garrypaul8035 Год назад

Skmei is well established brand and their watches are very durable and comes with warranty, I've used quite few of them and till now to this date they are working absolutely fine, din't even need a battery change even after 4 years. Skmei watches are cheap and very reliable even if they are ripoff of some casio watches so what, who cares as long as they giving good quality and reliability, unlike cassio who charge ridiculously high prices on their watches that don't make any sense. The manufacturing cost of Casio watches are only 10% of their retail price. I still have lot of cassio watches some of them got dead after using couple of years and then i've stopped purchasing them bcoz they don't offer any value for money.Cassio is nothing but overhyped brand.

@BrainSeepsOut 6 лет назад

The SKMEI costs almost as much and has as many features as a F-91W... SKMEI has some decent products but this is not one of them. The only reason to get it is to cannibalize the band and put it on your black AE1200w.

@JamesMincey 6 лет назад

Hahaha, I bought this for that same reason!

@rajahassan1236 4 года назад

BrainSeepsOut why whats wrong with it?

@deanagoes2791 3 года назад

Same..on my casio w800h 😀

@EffendiChung 4 года назад

Try the 1382. Same design, but the round display shows the seconds, and if activated, the compass. (Yes it has got the compass). Its more loaded than casio ones, with pedometer, pace counter, world time instead the dual time. But after all I just buy it for the black bracelet for my casio royale.

@EffendiChung 4 года назад

It was about $11 in my country.

@andykarel17 5 месяцев назад

I bought Skmei just wanted to take the casing,Also make an experiment before modifying my Casio watch,. Besides, it's not bad, the price is much cheaper 😂

@sentai1944 Месяц назад

@patrickmorrissey2271 6 лет назад

Even in an "anti-review", we get beauty shots at the end.... I like that. It shows integrity, and fairness.... ;)

@minitwatch 6 лет назад

=) Thank you

@choppergirl 4 года назад

Did you say plus 8 seconds a day? That's horrid. Plus/minus 8 seconds per month is the norm for a quartz watch.

@feralgrandad4429 4 года назад

I brought 4 of these, 1 like this and 3 resin strap models. to practice the bubble mod and colour change mods i saw in your other videos before I risk screwing up my Casio AE1200.They were 7 bucks each on Aliexpress. That included shipped to my door in the UK. The 3 resin strapped ones will be for my 3 grandsons to do the bubble mod on as project for their homeschooling they are doing during this lockdown. Bargain watch, great mod ideas, subscribing was easy decision. Love it (that's what she said)

@nolinchitnis 5 лет назад

I just bought one for USD 8.40/-. Why? I wanted a cheap watch. Why I want a cheap watch? Because my watches dont last long. 2 reasons for that. My cats or should I call them terminators at home. So no matter which watch or mobile I buy they find a way to screw it up. Second reason is I don't use them carefully. Being an engineer my hands have to access insides of machines and mechanisms and so my watches really don't look cool after a few days. So basically something that will just tell me the time. That's it

@AuntyM66 4 года назад

Good review. I noticed that the wrist strap was crazy. I got mine cheaper than yours. Just need to know how to set it up.

@yusufali3737 5 лет назад

One Silly Question How the hell Do you set the Time and Date 🤔 Help please

@Zippofanatic77outdoors 11 месяцев назад

Can u put the Casio module in the skei case and strap ? I want to do it to the gold lol

@HDomRR 6 лет назад

I dont care for the "world time" feature. I find the day display more useful. The casio looks way better in that silver finish though.

@jfilm7466 6 лет назад

I love the Casio bracelet. One of the only bracelets that really fits me.

@andrewpreston4127 6 лет назад

Does this watch have automatic date ? That is, it knows which months are 30 days, or 31 days, and knows which is a leap year with 29 days in February rather than 28 ?

@apontutul 5 лет назад

Yes it does. Atleast the manual says so

@sentai1944 Месяц назад

Yes it can, because itu set the year instead of day when we set the watch time and date, sorry for bad english

@blackbirdpie217 19 дней назад

I am now going to remind you that the Casio AE1200 was a "ripoff" of the Seiko G757 that was actually worn by Bond, James Bond in the movie.

@choppergirl 4 года назад

Does anyone know the battery life? Does this have a lithium battery? Can we expect 10 years like in a Casio? Or more like... fucking... 2 years? Has anyone owned on of these for more than 2 years? The paint looks like it would scratch off the black band. And info on that?

@MyAffordableWatchCollection 5 лет назад

I have this skmei in gold, I love it!

@MyAffordableWatchCollection 5 лет назад

The black one also looks great btw

@leomedina5614 4 года назад

My Chinese Watch Collection What about the time? Does it go back or forward any seconds or minutes? I’m looking for something reliable but not to crazy expensive

@robertbrunston5406 4 года назад

It's a cost effective beater! If you mess it up it's no problem! Thanks.

@nickv4073 4 года назад

Thanks but I think I'll keep saving up for my Casio AE1200 Grail watch. One day it will be mine.

@RampartPh 2 года назад

i'd canniblize that skmei strap and put it on the black casio casino royale. it should look good although i guess durability would be iffy on those cheapo steelies.

@magedhosny3091 Год назад

Did that got a norma royale and the skmei just to switch out the straps

@imranzafar1781 Год назад

I ordered the SKMEI while watching this video since the Royale costs 4 times more than the fake Royale here, so yeah, seemed like the obvious thing to do 😁

@gnomilius 4 года назад

Do they sell the bracelet separately? I like the black Casio one but I want a bracelet for it and that one is literally the Casio one in black lol.

@TheGoodwolfe 6 лет назад

The crazy thing is I have the Casio version, and paid less than what they want for the SKMEI knockoff, so that doesn't make sense why someone would buy the SKMEI, does it??

@Chilivink 6 лет назад

TheGoodwolfe hahaha idd, I love my Casio, it's my beater, it never fails. And it actually is useful since I use the world timer, almost every day

@minitwatch 6 лет назад

I do see on ebay that you can get these for like 8 dollars. lol. But you can also get the Casios on sale for like 10! It sure doesn't make sense. Someone would really have to want this to get it. OR perhaps they are hoping that people think it's a Casio. :p

@d.whillmar1740 6 лет назад

I'm not sure about this 1353 model. But there are also 1299, which is significantly cheaper than original Casio, and 1373, which has more functions than Casio. Believe it or not, 1373 has compass and walkmeter. I'm not sure if 200$ G-Shocks have that.

@dado380 Год назад

Why wouldn't skmei copied the Casio when Casio Royale is a blatant copy of G757,infact Casio sold a shit tone of Royale and later in d and d introduce G shock.I'll bet you didn't know that!!

@itsmemuffins 6 лет назад

I have their Casio g shock 5600 rip off. It’s ok for $5 but it does lose time. More than it should for a digital watch. Not too surprised for $5

@minitwatch 6 лет назад

Yeah, I mean what do we expect! I should try and get one of those S-Shocks and beat the hell out of it just to see what happens.

@aalaptube 4 года назад

My cheap but genuine Casio vintages don't keep great time - they are off by a second in a day, which I guess is fair because their specs say so clearly. G-Shocks are generally +- 15 secs a month, but I find them far more accurate than that in real life.
