Skmei Drum watch... Of course I had to have one! Ordered one and waiting on it to get here! Got the black band, black case, silver bezel and white face... Great video! Thanks!!
A must-have in anyone's 'weird watch' collection. One of the most innovative China watches I came along in recent years. Followed by the 'magnetic ball in groove' watch - reviewed yet? This drum watch is offered by many companies, all use the same drum mechanism. SKMEI has a plentitude of very cheap budget watches; many are astonishlingly functional and practical, e.g. their digital/analog quartz watches, unbeatable in their price range around $15-20. This 1486 has limited functionality but shines by its gimmick. Once set up correctly - it is tedious and needs care - the drum roller watch actually works well and shows the time in a unique way. Considering the low price (found below $20 on sale) it is a lot of fun. Yet it is advisable to 'park' the drums when not using it often. This mechanism is power hungry and will eat batteries alive.
"Followed by the 'magnetic ball in groove' watch - reviewed yet?" - No, but will take a look ... and the drum watch is rather interesting. Just curious how long it can work
the concept is excellent, however it is made too rough and simply without attention to detail. And the materials are simple, but it would be possible to make a carbon dial, silver numbers, a convex logo, backlight, etc. Although the price matches.
very nice review like always the watch is excellente really :) Can you my friend put good review for the watch skmei 1068 we want full review for this watch skmei 1068 THANKS my friend
Hola...tengo problemas para configurar este tipo de reloj...cualquier botón no obedece..se queda loco....alguien me podría explicar más detalladamente..??
Personally, I think you've been very over generous with your scoring on this watch. It is simply a novelty toy watch. It's basic functionality comes into question when it shouldn't . No date, No back light and no seconds. Two batteries to supply the extra electrical current to drive those noisy drums, and for how long? Just too many snags and negative points.
This is a crazy watch and doesn't need extra features like date or light to be appreciated for it's quirkiness. Google Derby Swissonic from 1975 and you'll find the grandfather of this drum watch. If you want higher quality I can suggest Megir brand on eBay for a surprising price of $25-30 although most sellers sell them for $60 or even $80+. This just proves that ordering this module in China is relatively cheap. No surprise there and its execution is on paar with ISA or ETA movements made in China and fitted to Hilfigers and Diesels. gloimg.gbtcdn.com/soa/gb/item/6571723438550519808/15698/goods_img-v1/6e70c9a40586.jpg The Megir has the same drum module but is made from solid steel in PVD with antireflective coating on a convex glass crystal. Very well made with a solid leather strap. There are also other private label brands that feature the same module with different dial designs. I just bought the Megir and am thrilled with it. The dial says Chronograph and has hour indexes just for show but they add complexity to a rather plain dial.

Hola, excelente tu canal,, la marca skmei según tu experiencia, este modelo que tan bien te ha funcionado, y en general la marca muchas gracias.
gracias por ver
Thanks for your time ⌚adjust subject
Because I have a skmei watch
Always welcome
Do you like it? Does it work good so far ?
Kaip įdomiai atrodo, bet ir abejonių sukelia dėl mechanizmo ilgaamžiškumo. Žinoma neatsižvelgiu į kainą o kalbu apie patį laikrodį
Sunku pasakyti, kaip ilgai laikys. Kol kas mažai atsiliepimų.

You are right, it isn't a watch for everyday use, but it's different and could be good piece to watch collection

Help me
It looks stupid in a round case.
A more purpose made rectangular case would have looked MUCH better, as it is, it just looks crap.
