    Nice. One thing that would make the watch better IMO is if the glass was a bit recessed into the body. The way it is now, the glass is going to get scratched fast if you use it as a sports watch. But I like it. I'd choose the Casio for the reason that it's their original design and the price difference is not that big.

    Tenho um desses Skmei e confirmo que é muito bom produto!
    Sem contar a diferença de preços entre os dois modelos que praticamente são idênticos!
    Parabéns pelo excelente trabalho!

      amigo, acabei de comprar um Skmei desse modelo e estou esperando chegar. Que bom saber que ele é um bom produto! Mas como ele está depois de um ano? ele continua 'guerreiro'? E é mesmo à prova d'água? Desde já agradeço.

      Olá amigo!
      Sim, o relógio é muito bom, simples, barato, resistente, apresenta ótimo funcionamento, ótima iluminação, fácil de configurar. Na verdade já faz uns 3 anos que o tenho, ainda com a bateria original!
      Skmei produz bons relógios e é a maior fabricante asiática, (procure conhecer os modelos 1335 e 1370, excelentes relógios por um preço bem acessível)!
      Tenho outros relógios, que uso alternadamente e portanto não uso o 1496 diariamente, e também nunca entrei em piscina ou mar com ele, somente uso normal, lavar carro, chuva, lavar mãos, etc.
      Gostei do produto e recomendo!
      Boa sorte!
      Abç!

    I paid 5 euros for the Skmei during an Aliexpress promotion. So for 4 times cheaper than the Casio, the Skmei is unbeatable for a work watch.

    I have been wearing the skmei since 3 years now. Its my daily beater so i swim hike run and everything with it. Still works very well. Never had any problems. I got the black one with the negative display and it even looks cooler. The display is lot better than the original. I own casios too btw.

    I think skmei is revealing how Casio watches are a bit overpriced for what they are. I have a few skmei watches that are Casio homages and I've become a fan.

      The only downside with Skmei watches are the readability of their displays at off angles. Casio has the better display all the time.

    Once again the proof is in the pudding: Casio has much better legibility (a 21st century watch shouldn't have ghosting digits!), time accuracy and longer battery life. So the higher price is more than justified.

    • @serbrat
      @serbrat ปีที่แล้ว

      The contrast in low light conditions of this Casio module (3224) is better than some older G-Shock like GD-350. The background has much brighter reflection.
      And this module in Casio W-219H looks "iconic", I'd say, for a beater watch.

  • @yambo59
    @yambo59 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I have a Casio W218H and love it. I swapped the stock strap for a set of metal adapters from Jays and Kays so it would accept a (22mm wide band) and it looks and wears MUCH better than the stock band, id do the same with the SKMEI, my main reason for buying this SKMEI is I love the biggest digits possible and SKMEI watches almost always have larger digits than Casio - though it appears Casio has an edge on accuracy. I also have the larger size SKMEI 1134 and really (really) love that one, larger case & display, brighter backlight etc. great watch.

    For the quality, price and battery life of basic casio watches, it's a no brainer to go for the casio. I'd go for Skmei for their G-Shock clones.

    Skmei is actually a decent digital watch maker. Their analog options however, rather poorly made. In terms of longevity, skmei are about on par with casio, but with a caveat, the battery seems drained much faster on skmeis. I would actually wear a skmei if I would go into a sketchy areas in my country, since its just over $5 in my country. Their bands are also interchangeable, that I usually buy skmeis for its bands, usually metal bands like the ones found in the ae 1200.
