In Croatia a700 is ~60$, while you can get this one for 13$ from aliex..even less when sales kick in..no brainer if you like the aestethics..imho, skmei does a decent job :)
Just got this watch. Totally blown away-lightweight, simple functions, elegant. I might stop buying watches now. :D SKMEI 1660 is allegedly a metal case version.
@@GedmisLaguna in a way, yes. Noticed that it does not suffer from ghosting like older skmei watches when viewed from the side. How i wish they can just add a calendar function to it, regardless if the casio version does not have it.
i have the Casio A700WM, the backlight is nothing to complain about. it is much better than the infamous backlight of the module that is inside the F91. Funny enough, on my other skmeis the numbers start to glow green. looks awesome. on this model seems to be a more traditional backlight.
Think the weakest part is the bracelet and how it opens locks in place as it could get damaged and metal can warp / break making it unusable buy a new watch- cheaper lol
Curious about the Sanda version of this design. It's apparently 1mm thicker again (Casio 6mm; Skmei 7mm; Sanda 8mm) but with silica mineral glass, zinc alloy casing, and 50WR. Honestly a little baffled that Zamak and glass isn't something Casio would consider around $50 pricepoint, shit's not that expensive.
@@enescan9624 I have no opinion on that. I'm absolutely not going to buy all 3. I have seen the Casio in person, it looks OK, the way you expect it. The rest i don't have and haven't seen in person, and haven't decided whether i want to go for either of them.
This is a great watch, but it doesn't have that appeal that the original A700 has, what keeps putting me off is that the background of the LCD display is too grey and not whiter, throwing off the contrast. Same can be said about the grey border around the LCD display. Perhaps if anyone looks at the A700 pictures, they'll agree
Sure, CasioA700 should be finer. On other hand it's difficult to judge only from the pictures. You can compare 2 watches having them live side by side, because pictures are enhanced often. Also keep in mind camera also leaves the track (auto image/color correction, background color, light and so on )

yes this one looks really good
Did you get the 1660? I saw a listing for it. Looked legit. Had a ridiculous price though. It would nice watch to have in zinc rather than plastic.
Thanks. Been waiting for this review a long time.
Thanks for watching. Does the watch meet your expectations?

At last, I waited for this review . thanks
Hope you like it!
LED backlight skmei is better than casio🤔⌚💚
agree

@@GedmisLaguna still waiting skmei launch panda watch🐼⌚😅
looks very good, good finish and 2 time cheaper than Casio. I take Skmei. Thanks for review
Thanks
Thanks for this review. I'm definitely picking one up now 👍
Glad I could help

Excelent review as always. Best regards from Brazil, Mário.
thanks for watching
@@GedmisLaguna thank you sir.
very good homage actually. Thanks for you work.
Much appreciated!
not just making a homage, but actually making a better watch for cheaper price.. Better because of the light.
Yes, the backlight is better, the bracelet is better on Casio's I guess.
@@GedmisLaguna is it possible to switch the original Casioa700 to Skmei ?
what a beautiful watch slim and smart ..awesome review
Thanks for watching!
Really good looking
My sweet spot is 50 meters of water resistance, this is only 30, from your experience is it good enough for regularly washing hands?
Washing hands is ok with Skmei 30m wr level. Can't say about other brands.
A very nice watch for the price of a strap? I'm seriously tempted to click that affiliate link!
appreciate that
They also do a black version that Casio do not do
looks like, also gold one
Please make compare with Sanda 6017.
thanks for idea
the link is sold out, is this watch still available?
check the updated link in the description

I really like black. It is a pity that it cannot be bought in Hungary.
You can order form aliexpress, it ships to Hungary, the link is in the descriprion
@@GedmisLaguna THX I already ordered it.

@@GedmisLaguna will keep that in mind. Till then I can only hope you do a side by side comparison. Line your videos, straight to the point👌👌
@@GedmisLaguna And im searching form this kind of video!!! Can’t find
Please make a comparison video about Skmei 1660, Skmei 1639 and Sanda 6017
1660 looks almost the same, just uses a metallic case.
Casio the boss and Skmei his son
