SKMEI is not bad, I got one 3 years ago. And it still working, not even a battery change needed.
That's good to know!
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!
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.
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.
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!
That was an epic burp at 02:56 ! Great review of a piece of crap that belongs at the bottom of a cereal box.
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!
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.
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)
I bought this skmei for a bracelet for my black royale. Fits perfectly.
How’s the quality of strap ?
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.
The Casio is only $14,might as well just buy the real thing.
Not now. €50 for the real thing. €10 dor the skmei
Would it be possible to transplant the Skmei's EL backlight into the Casio?
I thought EL LUMINOUS was Spanish...
So it's a ripoff of a ripoff of the Seiko G757?
The Royale was inspired by it but not blatantly ripped off like the schemey :p
I don't understand the logic behind copying something that's already cheap...
*shrug*. I feel like they are much cheaper in certain areas like India so they have their markets.
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.
Good point.
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.
Got two Casio versions and the black Skmei.
It's great, just ordered a military green version of the Skmei.
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!
Really have both, love the back Light on the skmei more
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.
Hahaha, I bought this for that same reason!
BrainSeepsOut why whats wrong with it?
Same..on my casio w800h 😀
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
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.
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.
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.
how to take the links out? that watch is to big for me... i cant find splints to press out...
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.
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.
It was about $11 in my country.
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 😂
Did you say plus 8 seconds a day? That's horrid.
Plus/minus 8 seconds per month is the norm for a quartz watch.
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 ?
Yes it does. Atleast the manual says so
Yes it can, because itu set the year instead of day when we set the watch time and date, sorry for bad english
2:57 - WTF???? )))))))))
Even in an "anti-review", we get beauty shots at the end....
I like that. It shows integrity, and fairness.... ;)
=) Thank you
Just got it for only $2.43 (Rp. 40.000) after discount, while original casio cost $25 with same metal bracelet, same silver color.
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
That intro is so good!! ✨
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.
One Silly Question How the hell Do you set the Time and Date 🤔 Help please
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.
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)
Can u put the Casio module in the skei case and strap ? I want to do it to the gold lol
I have this skmei in gold, I love it!
The black one also looks great btw
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
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.
great vid curt. can i ask you a question: what is the model/brand of your UV torch please? cheers mate
I love the Casio bracelet. One of the only bracelets that really fits me.
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??
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
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
It's a cost effective beater! If you mess it up it's no problem! Thanks.
SKMEI - on the bracelet black paint or metal in black?
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?
Yeah i gotta hate skmei ripping of the originals, that includes another known brand name, DIGITEC, the only none knockoff chinese brand i see is called NAVIFORCE.
I'll check them out!
minitwatch there is a cheap chinese diver quartz watch with good quality, brand sinobi diver. See for your self for a 30$ diver xD
the royale modders will be super happy if the it's possible to move a real one's movement into a black housing
It already comes in back :) amzn.to/2H0rTlo. I think the other way around will be cool. The Royale guts into a rose gold SKMEI.
“Still certainly better than most mechanical watches out there ba buuurrp”?
Scuse me
can i buy one of those just for putting a gold strap on my casio?
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.
hey can we adjust the size of this watch
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.
Did that got a norma royale and the skmei just to switch out the straps
I got the SKMEI 1335 only for 7$
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 😁
lol I thought it was a seiko, assumed it was a typo
Every time I had to type it, I wanted to type SKX :p
Thanks but I think I'll keep saving up for my Casio AE1200 Grail watch. One day it will be mine.
thank you for videos man,
let me download ya
you forgot to fart too
this was worth it just to hear a sock argue with a t rex
I just...I...hey Curt? How many adult fizzies does it take to come up with this shit? You're either a genius, or a madman, but I fucking love it so we cool. Anyone for a livestream where it's just the damn puppets for like, two hours?
What about scratches on the band after 2 years?
In Australia skmei $23.99 the casio over $120, so skmei makes alot of sense for me.
skmei 1299 or 1335?
A fake Casio get serious.
I think they are serious.
Sorry to say that, but at 02:57 I burst into laughter.
The rip off offends me a little....Maybe I shouldn't feel so strongly about watches....I need to get a life I guess... Now where's my shoe?
lol. Maybe it's with Priscilla.
I'm not sure about this 1353 model. But there are also 1299, which is significantly cheaper than original Casio, and 1373, which has more functions than Casio. Believe it or not, 1373 has compass and walkmeter. I'm not sure if 200$ G-Shocks have that.
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
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.
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.
Maybe its a cheap version of casio watch..they have many similar type..but the price proved quality
Bought it for the black bracelet alone. Still a crappy bracelet... but it’s black and a direct switch so meh
i get 1. but the time is not set,
Как укоротить браслет на этой модели?
Звенья снимаются?
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!!
Casio stole it from seiko in the James Bond movie its a Seiko not a Casio get it right
Thirty billion, eleventy thousand million......LOL. The exact number of cigarettes I smoked before I quit last year. ;)))
Dude, congratulations! I quit on August 26th, 2007 (yes, I wrote it down :p). I did it cold turkey. It was rough but I haven't looked back!
that backlight thought..
This Channel is for fun watch review and i lovin it
50 bucks?! This one is just $5 in Indonesia
Hope Uncle Jimmy found his shoe.
We're still looking for it.
Why is this a rip off and not a homage?
I was spitting at my phone and hitting it with my shoe. Supa Ka-Ka lol😉
Gotta love SKMEI for their blatant spanking.
No don't do that!! You need your phone to make nice reviews for me! 😊
Lol sounds like the beginning of a fun time
I know, right?? Great review as always man!
the casio royales like double the money
Oh man this brand you should see their G-Shock copies...they call it S-Shock 😂
I know! I saw those! lol. The S stands for Shitty.
minitwatch 😂
Turrable Turrable bracelet
-minitwatch & Charles Barkley 2018
I was going to put pictures of him while I was saying that but I got lazy :p
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 That would have been epic
There is no way that was licensed by Casio :)
Yeah totally lol.
Nice burp. Is that meant to represent your feelings about the SKMEI? LMAO!
So you really burped?? Ahah
Casio doesn't come in gold... and I LOVE GGGOOOOOLLLLLLDDDDDDDD~~~~
Please help uncle jimmy find his shue,l hate to think of him suffering!by the way it’s interesting to know a Chinese knock off keeps better time than a mechanical watch glad one of you reviewers had the guts to say the bloody obvious l think l’ll skip the $750,000 patek Phillips and stick with the AE-1200 that’s bound to be even better!thank,Curt...regards from sydney(that’s in australia)
I prefer skmei its cheaper and i dont care for world time
Love Casio... but not the Royale, and certainly not the shameless rip.
Can we see more of the puppets cos I support Sheffield Wednesday FC and need cheering up thanks.
Sorry for your loss :( But something tells me there's going to be a lot more of them soon.
There is only one alarm !
oh dear
Good video and fantástic channel.
I don't know why i buy fucking skemi ...?
The casio cost 10 us dollar ...
Skmei ok
You lost me at the burp and hand puppet dude
Why the burp??? WTH.... Come on dude.. clean it up
The world time version has a pedometer, a compas
Revew the pulsar p3
Like for the burp at 3 minutes xD
And the Casio was a copy of a Seiko
