Casio G-Shock Can't Beat it = True Shock is Price SKMEI 1628

I really admire the skmei range and have accumulated a few as the price allows me to buy more. One thing I will say is that the strap on the skmei is for me is head and shoulders above the G shock, so much so I forget I'm wearing the skmei half the time. For the price, the skmei is very tough to beat! The backlight is also superb. I do like how the buttons are more protruded on the skmei also. Of course the G shock is better constructed, but pound for pound it's skmei all the way. Thanks for the review sir! Greetings from the UK😊

Does the SKMEI have multiband 6? Does the SKMEI have tough solar? Does the SKMEI support DD-MM date format?

If any of the answers is no, then I wouldn't even want it as a gift.

The satisfaction of wearing a original is another level which i hope u can understand

for the price these Skmei Watches are great!!! just enjoy it...don't think too much.

I find that the Skmei movement accuracy poor enough to be abit annoying if you're using it to take public transport regularly. Its good enough for casual sports where you're just using it to time your runs.

That SKMEI negative display is hot garbage, the text might as well be invisible.

What is the strange diamond shape about in the display (above the seconds)?
It randomly flashes on and off with no rhyme or reason as far as I can see.

Doesn’t skmei do a copy of the Casio mudman ? Save yourself some pennies.

It may say 50m bit they are so poor it may not even work in the shower. The g shock will definitely be ok swimming and diving.

Hey dude, Is the SKMEI negative screen legible well?,, I have SKMEI with a white screen, and want to buy a negative screen.

The more I search for ideal Casio, the more I become less interested...
The latest release of Casio watches, got horrible backlight..
In the end, I picked Amazfit T rex

In my country 1 casio = 20 skmei watches

Bought Same Design Skmei but With bluetooth for more functionality like a time sync pedometer , I do not use functions such as call and SMS notifications. And they also have more numbers, but no date. The quality is exactly the same, I'm very shocked.

For the price the 1628 is brilliant value for money.
I have one with positive display, really like it.
Enjoyed your video, thanks.

I have two skmei in my collection and for the price they're excellent surprisingly robust and both have a backlight that you could see from orbit.. Excellent beater watches when you don't want to ruin your nice casios or better watches..

I would pay 15-20 USD for 100 water resistance and stainless steel buttons.

copy cats should start innovating

I hate the negative display i have a g-100 ana/digi g shock and it was always difficult to read off the black display in any amount of light. I also have a dw5600 basic square g shock but i choose with the regular light screen and i love it so much somehow i just always want to wearing it everyday. That skmei junk isn’t worth anything in my opinion since i hate fake or counterfeit products. I rather buy a basic or modest version but at least i know it is what it should be. Take your genuine g shock to any brand service facility and they changing the display for you for a small fee.

When buying a watch, apart from those who need a watch with a specific function for a specific activity, most people base their decisions on how a watch looks first of all don't they? Based on that criteria alone, given that the SKMEI is roughly 10% of the price of the Casio and appears near identical, it's a clear win for the SKMEI. Of course, no-one would realistically expect the SKMEI to be as hardwearing or as accurate as the Casio, but is it really worth ten times the price? Especially as for most people the loss of two seconds a day isn't a catastrophe, while if they ever found themselves 51 meters underwater I doubt the waterproofness of their £10 watch would be their prime concern. As the owner of more than 20 G-Shock squares as well as this SKMEI myself, I'm surprised at how good the SKMEI is - especially when I consider the cost of manufacturing both watches must be similar (even taking into account the likely differences in material costs of parts used). So is the Casio overpriced? Or is the SKMEI underpriced? In my opinion, there's a market for both - but price doesn't necessarily reflect value for money.

I got the blue skmei yesterday....I love it! My only problem it's a bit small, does anyone know can I get a watch like this, same shape etc but about 2 in in size?? I'm a bigger guy, I love a huge watch....just wondering do they make big watches with this style? I have about 40, and never came across a really big one this style.

SKMEI is heck 2-3 minutes inaccurate 😂 I know because I used to own one back in 2021.

ESTA MEJOR EL SKMEI !!!

Brands like SKMEI are for people like us in third world countries. Trust me Casio are seen as luxury watches here 😂. Humble beginnings

G shock is more bright 🌞!

1628 is almost perfect, except that the button is only plated, and turned color copper over time.

I have a gw 9400 but, at the same, I bought a skmei 1628 with negative screen. I love this watch: simple and nice!

SKMEi is cheaper but not a better watch than G-Shock . It’s a cheap knock off.

You can't compare a skmei with a gshock. Gshocks are proper go anywhere watches, I have the 1628 it's great fun but has plastic screen which will break easily, enjoyable but slightly misleading video

Take a dw5600e with pozitive display and problem solve. And it's cheaper than a mud

SKMEI 1628. very comfortable strap. I have 2 of 'em. Black display with black color, hard to read. Positive display with green color, very easy to read. Light, comfortable, for everyday beater

You need to get the positive display version of it if you want a more legible display, and the reason the light on the fake is brighter is because it’s a LED instead of glow, the glow is better in the dark.

No podes comparar un g shock con eso , fíjate abrí un g shock por ejemplo un 5600 y fíjate la protección que tiene adentro, no podes ni comparar, y si no te invito a ver un canal que se llama g shock en español y ahí te muestra lo que es un g shock por dentro y por fuera

You did good on the video. I however think the G shock DW5600 is unbeatable for durability, quality and overall build. No question. The Skmei is just a look alike. A lot less money of course but there are reasons that the G shock more money. They don't call it G shock (gravitational shock) for the hell of it.

Ordered Skmei but with positive display. The negative display is hardly visible. Would be great if you can do review of skmei 1988

I got one with standard display (not inverted). Wearing it when I'm fixing the car or in the garden.
Plastic shourds from G-Shock fit it so if one wants change colour to more bright like red or yellow.
I've added strap adaptors (not a fan of silicon, rubber straps) and wearing it on 22mm elastic two-piece strap.

Also oil filled it so it have more than 200m water resistancy.
