Whether it's a rip off is a moot point. The whole brands selling point is that it makes homages of a much more expensive brand! The real consideration is whether it's decent for the money and functionality. I own several, because the answer is always hell yes.

Great point, James! I personally have always had a slight uneasiness towards products that I consider to have "copied" off others, that's hard for me to shake off. That being said, I agree that the VALUE offered by this watch is unprecedented. You just can't beat the functionality (and even quality) for this price-range! Thanks for weighing in 🙏

Great options. One reason I chose the dark green colour is that the bezel accent is a nice dark BLACK, which makes the tacky "SPORT" text a little more subtle 😉

Ok , per me i casio hanno una storia di decenni nel fare orologi, e quello che fanno lo fanno bene. Non c' è un singolo casio che non sia amabile per quello chw offre a seconda il modello. Skmei , per me, è solo un fake . Le resine e le plasriche di casio hanno superato decenni. Questi skmei tra pochi anni si saranno sbriciolati appena sono stati sotto un po di sole o acqua marina per piu di un paio di anni . Gshock dura una vita ed è stile . Skmei è un orologio usa e getta

Non potrei essere più d'accordo, Media Player. Considero davvero Casio il migliore del settore 😎 E per una buona ragione! Penso che il motivo per cui molte persone hanno suggerito e votato per questo orologio sia per il suo incredibile valore: il prezzo è davvero eccezionale per quello che offre. Resta da vedere se i materiali resisteranno alla prova del tempo. Per come la vedo io, anche se dovesse degradarsi dopo un paio d'anni, ci saranno persone che preferirebbero comunque questa opzione anche come "sostituto usa e getta" 😁 Grazie per il tuo intervento! 🙏

Great video! But I categorically did NOT like the product (1988): dark gray numbers on a black screen - it’s very difficult to make out the time, this can be seen even in this video if there is no obvious light source (in some fragments it’s hard to deny, although the light is set as it should ); the same thing - with backlight

Hey! Thx for all your reviews! I need to ask you some technical question...Do you know if the strap of this Skmei 1988 fits on the Original Casio Gbx-100? Thx!
@goatreviews
Ай бұрын
No problem, Diego! Thanks for your viewership. 🙏 I dont have the GBX-100 I borrowed on hand to compare it with unfortunately. According to the SKMEI website, the 1988 has a band width of '19mm', which is quite unusual. I think they're referring to the strap itself, rather than the 'Lug Width' which is what would determine whether the straps are compatible or not. Based on my mod of the GBX-100, the lug width we'd want to match would be 16mm: kzitem.info/news/bejne/2m59vJmYf52mlmk Hope this helps! 🙏

Skmei knockoff stands up well in areas vs. certain Casio/ Gshock models, some of which are quite capable. They're all fun watches. Can go wrong really. G-Shock, while inexpensive in the overall world of watches, are overpriced in some ways: Skmei makes that clear.

Great question, Gigachad! 💪 I've just had a look at the product listing and can see no mention of the lens material 🤔 That being said, for this price point, I agree with PickAny's opinion below that it would have to be plastic. It would certainly be nice if it were a mineral glass lens at least, but this is just one of the many trade-offs we should expect for them to get the price this low. Perhaps an add-on screen protector could be the solution 😁

Hahaha, I find this notion both believable, and HILARIOUS! 😂 I have just done a check on my wrist, and the digits do appear to be cycling through in the correct order, so perhaps it was just the frame-rate of the video.

Thank you for this great review.. Going to give this watch a 👎rating. I know it is cheap..But I would rather put the cash towards a watch I like ..There is just something about this watch that I don't like, But I can't put my finger on what it is. I now have 29 watches... Just two more to get and that is the end of my watch-collecting journey ... Sorry this Skmei 1988 won't be in my collection. But I do love your Time distortion Casio G-Shock... The G-Shock Watch 5600 Time Distortion DW-D5600TD-3ER. It is a real eye-catcher.

No worries Brian, I'm glad you enjoyed it! 🙏 A fair assessment indeed. Some may prefer to put the money towards a watch they would be more likely to wear. I feel you! 💯 For myself, I believe the issue is the generic "SPORT" text on the top of bezel, it just looks kind of cheesy and cheap. That being said, I am glad I went with this particular colourway with the black bezel, as this text is MUCH less pronounced than some of the other options 😂 Oh yes! I can't wait to see what you end your 31 watch collection with Brian! 👀 The Time Distortion G-Shock, or "Green Goblin" as we nicknamed it is an absolute breath-taker 🤩💚

Great question, Susumu. 👌 As far as I’ve seen, they haven’t reached this point yet! They do offer a model with Bluetooth alone (which I just ordered actually: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_mqvDSG8 ) and also a positive display watch with Solar, but not all these features together. Also, their version of Solar is the more old-school, larger panels than you’d see in a G-Shock. Here’s an example: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_mr2j7je I’m yet to own one of these.

It comes in a plastic bag, that says everything about the brand. I can only see a spare parts: - Strap while wait for the original arrives. - 8 screws for restauration o repair old g shocks. - Battery. - Springs bars ( probably). - 4 or 5 button "e" clips ( probably). - One "O" ring. The rest go to the garbage bin.

Hi David, I totally understand and respect that viewpoint. Here's the beauty of that standpoint: At $15 AUD, this is still literally cheaper than buying these spare parts as individuals - Which is truly incredible. 🤩 I even bought a Spare SKMEI 1628 for this very reason. It's an EXTREMELY economical way to secure spare parts... and a functioning watch is just a bonus! 😁 Thanks for weighing in! 🙏
