Thank you to everyone that watches the show!!! Can you wear a watch with a brand name that sounds like something that only belongs up a whales nose? Let's go!!!
Watching again, this might be one of my favourite episodes, Russell! Outdone yourself here. Perfect mix of being educational and very entertaining and comedic.
I bought my 1456 for just under £6, which, in Vietnam the SKMEI watches range in price from about £3-£8 which does include the guarantee. I bought the SKMEI DW-5600 homage for less then £4, and its bloody brilliant.
I hate to admit it as an owner of the Casio GMW-5000 full metal but this this isn't bad, it looks OK for the money and from a distance looks just like the Casio. Spec isn't like for like but that cost difference is crazy. I'm sure those who purchase this SKMEI will not feel the need to flush.
Loved this video! Had me laughing every time you said SKMEEEEEEI. I really enjoy your content and all the hard work you put in to keep us entertained as well as informed. I was genuinely surprised the movement was still ticking. I normally do not support the idea of the CASIO copy cats brands but for a full metal that I can’t afford I would make a exception for this one.
You literally killed (sk)me(eeeiiiii), I had an unstoppable fit of laughter watching this ! The SKMEI was still alive after a perfect swing to my consternation! I think that there is not much room to complain about at this price I guess.
Think you need to make an alarm clock that just plays that “SKMEI!” clip on loop 😂 Fun show as always sir and hope the birthday and corn holing was good!
As a budding watch collector I did get the SKMEI metal G-Shock in both steel and gold just to scratch that metal G-Shock itch. Love them. Fast forward to today and Amazon had the real deal for $335 for like a day, snagged it before it jumped up again. Can't wait for it to arrive. I wouldn't have even ordered it if I didn't like the SKMEI ones though. BTW, I also got a SKMEI "Royale" cuz Casio doesn't make it in gold. Sometimes I question if I actually like gold variants of the Casio classics or am I also just scratching a collector's type of itch. Oh well, still happy. 😁
This was brilliant! You're the best mate! 😁 I have to admit, I'm gobsmacked. The engineers at SKMEI!!! are on another level. Designing a watch that will eject the movement a safe distance after receiving a shock preventing any further damage from continuous strikes or perhaps fire GENIUS! If I didn't already own a GMW-B5000, I'd be all over that!
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR It is always interesting to see how Chinese brands think about "european" names like: Skmei, Parnis, Wancher and Self lover (yes it does exist).
From the review you can see that it isn’t the worst copy cat and I agree that if you don’t have the money for the Casio it’s a great alternative. The movement is still more accurate than any of my mechanical watches 😂 great show Russ!
Got a skemi solar power one rubber screwed down back 5 bar does the job dual time with digital and face/ hands which is useful to time things on the go model number 1049 the solar power does work when you take battery out it charges digital and hands in direct sunlight or day light so v useful it is very tough and last for years the bracelet is tough but flexible and will last unlike metal ones with dodgy clasps.
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR I'm well, thank you! I haven't been watching much watch content lately but nice to be back watching yours. 😁 I hope you're well too!
Excellent video, as usual. :) I'm impressed that the movement held up to that kind of a whacking. Have you ever given a G-Shock the same treatment? I wouldn't expect you to subject your $450 watch to that golf club, but maybe the base $40 G-Shock?
Welcome to the world of Skmei. I've got three of their digitals, and they do make decent watches for the price. Someone saw you coming if you paid £16 for a Skmei Royale though - you could have got one for half the price if you shopped around.
I just wanted to recommend an affordable Citizen reissue (of sorts) that I recently bought and love! It’s a JDM for $270 USD, the CITIZEN PROMASTER NY0125-83E. Not many review videos out there on it. The Mercedes hour hand threw me off until I saw that 70s Citizen divers had it.
After watching your videos on watches and especially in the SKMEI. I bought a SKMEI model 1335. The watch was worn whilst swimming, in the sea and in a swimming pool and diving worn to a sauna. It has run perfectly and is solid. Great value for money.
Makes me laugh everytime you say Skmei! Love it "don't flush" I must remember that! Reminds of a some electrical instructions I had for something that had a don't hit with a hammer symbol ! 😆
I think you should have done the same to the G lol for full comparison purposes 😜 You should have used a driver. Funny video and love the watch description 😄
I've had the Skmei for over 2 years. It's been pretty decent, quite a few fun piece. I redid the brushing on the front with finer emery paper and it looks better though obviously you have to be very careful to not go through the plating down to the zinc case. I've also got one of my fave Chinese watches, a Geeker. It's basically a 5600 clone but it's much bigger, huge but the I've got a 8.5 inch wrist so it actually looks better than my 5610. That's a great watch, I paid £7.96 in 2015 for it. It's got a proper electroluminescent display backlight
Honestly, l pissed myself laughing at quite possibly the funniest review I've seen on pootube regarding watches. Thanks Russell for the mention , I've watched videos testing the Skemi in ice and dropping from height, but yours was totally original regarding a wacking with the 9 iron , brilliant l may say . Bring it on more of this, it proves you are a genuine watch fanatic nutter and not a watch snob ! Thanks and l look forward to another masterpiece of yours!
Great show. My Three year old loved it "Skmei". Keep up the good work. Maybe look at Mondaine homages as your next project in the future? Thinking of getting the sekonda 1939 homage.
The chinese name of SKMEI is actually 时刻美 which is actually pronounced as Shi Ke MEI, which gotten shorten to SKMEI. In chinese the name actually means beautiful time moments? beautiful time intervals? or something like that. They were certainly meant for domestic market and never thought how queer the name would sound for international audiences.
It would have been better to put the Chinese characters on the watch. I think a lot of consumers, like myself, are completely disgusted by that stupid name. I have seen a test of this model years ago from a Canadian RUclipsr , who put this watch outside in snow and ice for the night and put it on a fishing line and gave it a very, very cold bath. The watch survived both, knowing it got very, very, very cold in Canada at night, during the waterproof test as well. I must respect this watch. It was offered to me at the last 11.11 Sale for just 15 Euro. 😮
I bought that same skmei two years ago after watching a Canadian you tuber test one to destruction. I have been quite happy with it keeps good time but don't wear as much these days might have to change tha and wear it again.
just when I thought that the sarcasm is obsolete and and no one practice that anymore I found you mate. 😊. an absolute delight and i had to subscribe from the very first video. keep entertaining us u really doing a, heck of a job out there. after all it's part of the game and that's why we all come back here to see u.
Well well well , its not bad is it! i was one of those peeps sayting the real one is just too expensive but this is a great alternative so yeah , another top notch review my son!
Like to see how the Casio survives the onslaught of a number 9 iron. 🙈. It looks sh!t like the logo. An update, whilst rummaging through boxes of broken watches I found a Casio tide watch from my days of surf fishing. Think the last time I used it was 20 years ago and the bloody thing is still working 😵. It’s scratched to hell so I’ll do a bit of restoration and fit a new strap and you can have if you want 👍
Casio always has one major thing missing. Horrible backlight, no backlight, poor water resistance, small to non-existent buttons. Take your pick. I don’t have a Skmei but, for the price, they are headed in the right direction.
A Casio is still going to be functional in 30 years , you're paying for overall quality . I've had a few SKMEIs and I can't complain about their price , their quality is lacking though . Same problem with pretty much all G-Shock replicas , the movements malfunction and break a lot . For something that is an inferior copy , you'd hope that they can at least give you a movement that would last for more than a year or two .
@@bryanobrien2726 I can agree about the internal quality of a Casio. Their competition is catching up fast, both internally and aesthetically. If they don’t step up, even enthusiasts will look away.
Check out their 1358 model. After you figure out how to operate it it’s a fantastic watch and you get past the funny name really quick for under nine dollars this thing has barometer altimeter step counter two time zones a compass, calorie and step counter, chronometer, and a countdown timer. I’m used to mechanical wrist watches so this was a learning curve. But after I figured everything out this is one of my favorite watches and I’ve got quite a few good ones.
I think Mr Pagani came out after the segment what the wife thought about the watch. Ha ha ha. Your show is a cross between a watch show, Benny Hill, Kenny Everet and a touch of the Goodies. All that is missing is the conductor from On the Buses. Keep it up.
Is the second hand character at the market stall trying to deflect refunds? He is funny . I have seen him on one episode . I haven’t seen Cedric. He must be in early episodes.
Hilarious video! Makes you wonder how a gshock would deal with a full on swipe from a 9-iron! I think Casio did a commercial a few years ago with a gshock getting a good old wallop from an ice hockey stick. Maybe a better alternative for those craving a full metal jacket, but a little more expensive than the SKMEI, would be to buy the cheapest model (5600?) and then get one of those stainless steel bracelet kits from aliexpress. I bought one for about 30 quid and it really is good quality.
Iv'e been looking at the regular, non metal Skmei-shock (1628) on Ali's ever since i modded my square G to the point i don't want to wear it at work anymore😏Under $15 US and a screw on back, only 50M WR but that's more than enough plus i have screen protectors left over for the dial. Wonder if a 5600 bull bar will fit🤔ooh and a NATO conversion...
Hi Russ! Well SKMEI is a good brand for value-for-money watches and the water resistance holds up well during monsoons or light swimming. Other than that, the shock resistance is a Casio Legacy and obviously no one is better equipped than Casio for that task. 😊 yet SKMEI are doing a decent job at mid range watches
Brilliant, really enjoyed this video, and all you previous ones OVS but this make me chuckle more. 😂👍 I think you should host a video with your wife, she sounds hilarious 😆 I bought SKMEI Mudmaster copy and use it for Airsoft, they look the part and if it gets damaged its so cheap to replace. Great video as always 👍
I have the G👊and the bro in law has the Skmeeiiiiii😂 - obviously the G is the real deal stunner but I don’t dislike the plucky skmeeeiiii and looks to be a hard watch to kill - bet you’re glad you didn’t get em mixed up before taking a swing!😱🏌️great show MWC!!🙌👏😂
Always loved Casio, but part of it was the honest price. Nowadays most Casio models are around 40-50€ on Amazon, and for a cheap plastic watch that will scratch instantly and whose lugs will break off quite easily, the price starts being a bit unreasonable. Skmei offering an almost identical product at a fraction of the price and with a metal case starts making more and more sense.
Thank you for this review. I just bought it can you show us the way to reduce the size of the iron strap for this watch ? because it seems to be larger on the hand
Every time you said SKMEEEI my 2 year old would hysterically laugh. Great video as always Russ! 🎉😂

Too tough for a hole in one! 😂 ⛳️
Great watch I have the blue metal one
Fantastic show Russ....you had me laughing so hard mate ... well done 👏
Why didn`t you smack the G-Shock to compare the shock resistance ? :)
Entertainment at its best as always . Thank you for that. But you‘ve forgotten something!! Let‘s do the same test with the real one in comparison 🤣
congrats on 25k!
Thank you so much 😀 There are many brand names that don't carry well around the world!!:]
Always loved Casio, but part of it was the honest price. Nowadays most Casio models are around 40-50€ on Amazon, and for a cheap plastic watch that will scratch instantly and whose lugs will break off quite easily, the price starts being a bit unreasonable. Skmei offering an almost identical product at a fraction of the price and with a metal case starts making more and more sense.
Great stuff! I laughed out loud many times on that one! Super funny! SKMEI!!! (In an unrelated note, did you get my email Russell?)
Ben! thank you my friend! i'll check the inbox!
so 425 for the word Casio
Hahahaha
I will name my first child Skmei 😂
Hahahahaha
Hahahahaha!!!! Love this video. Casio full metal square along with the Arnie are my next purchases. Is the full metal square screw down or 4 screws?
Being an owner of both I can categorically recommend both! Arnie more!:]
The piezo speaker is toast however, so beepless. Yet, a solid performance from the Skmeeee.
Hahahaha the wife makes the watch sound like a dreadfull sickness
Good show
Hahahaha
Who hasn’t accidentally ate their watch and flushed the following day? Also at the golf course, was that skmei on your hands? Oh dear 😁👍
Another hilarious show 🤣
Great stuff
Cheers David!
Thank you for this review.
I just bought it
can you show us the way to reduce the size of the iron strap for this watch ?
because it seems to be larger on the hand
If people go off at the price of the stainless steel version, just wait till they see the titanium one.
I KNOW!!!!!! SAME MOVEMENT!
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR Not if you buy one of the titanium MR-G's...
