3rd world country problems, casios are still a luxury. SKMEI is a good affordable, slightly durable casio alternative. Most of us also work physically demanding jobs, beating a year's worth of Casio G-Shock is not really worth it.
Any perceived problem with the skmei are first world problems IMO. I have a G Shock DW5600 from 1992 with the steel case. It has survived 31 years real abuse including 20 years of painting and plastering! 4 bezels later and the original strap which is cracking, I gave it a birthday with new after market strap and bezel. Looks like new almost apart from a few scratches on the glass. Just got a skmei to use instead. Only had it a week but I'm more than happy with it. Display isn't quite as good as Casio but the green led backlight is awesome IMO. It tells the time etc for bargain price. I think I paid NZ $150 for the G Shock in 1992? Skmei was NZ $23.00 with free shipping! Can't go wrong really 👍. Be interesting to see if it's still going 30 years from now? 🤔😉
The DW5600 is certainly better than the Skmei 1628, but the DW5600 costs almost 10 times more. I have had my Skmei 1628 for 9 months now and it is ok, although it has failed 3 times. sometimes it tends to reset and on one other occasion the display turned into hieroglyphs.
Re. the timekeeping: I have around 20 G-Shock watches and - with the exception of the Multiband 6 5610's that update every night - their accuracy varies wildly, so much so that many of them would also be considered poor timekeepers if the loss of 6 seconds in 11 days is considered poor. That said, although it's often a lottery with accuracy, my daily beater Skmei 1628 currently loses only 2 seconds over a 7 day period - I'd say that's pretty good.
@@WorldReviews As I said, my Skmei loses only 2 seconds in 7 days (so around 9 seconds a month) - it's definitely a lottery. Now if it was minutes lost or gained...

Merhaba. İzlediğiniz için teşekkürler. Evet, birkaç aylık günlük kullanımdan sonra düğmelerin renkleri solmaya başlıyor. Düğmeler de sıkışabilir. Ekran zaman zaman sıfırlanıyor. Bunun yanı sıra Skmei fiyatına değer.
As a watch collector mostly on the cheaper side I love a big chunky watch, I love this watch it's beautiful I wish I could get it in about a two-inch diameter though, anybody out there know where I can get a watch pretty much like this that's nice and big that would be perfect I wish they made them in this style about 2 in
Esa cruz es simple adorno y la programación es aún más simple: aparece sólo cuando también lo hace la barra horizontal central del último número de los segundos. Por eso aparece en todos menos en el 0, 1 y 7, que son valores "huecos".
I have 2 of these watches and one loses a little time and the other gains a little but I don't agree that 6 secs in 11 days makes it an inaccurate watch.
A reliable digital watch should maintain the plus/minus 15 seconds a month accuracy. My Skmei 1628 deviates more than that. About -20 seconds a month. My Casio DW5600 is more accurate as it gains no more than +9 seconds a month.
Overrated? Not hardly. You must not own one. They are built with very strict supervision to meet certain levels. I have never had or seen problems with the operation, time keeping or durability. Its not just a Casio it's a G-chock. I have them.

My experience is that the DW5600 gains +9 seconds a month. My Skmei 1628 loses about 25 seconds a month.

My skmei is also more accurate than my GW-M5610
@@JO_Piano Ultraprecise timekeeping. Does your GWM5610 receive a signal from an atomic clock ?
@@WorldReviews yes, it is very accurate with radio signal but without it my GW-M5610 is about +20s a month
That time variance is within normal parameters even if a bit incovienient
To be honest for a fiver i don't think theres anything wrong with it 😂
18sec per month is not bad if you ask me personally without atomic time correction.
Especially for $5

Hola el cristal de que es mineral o de plastico? Que tan facil se raya comparado con gshock. Tengo un gshock ga700 y no tiene ni un rayon.
@@mexicanlucky La pantalla está hecha de plástico blando, no es mineral, pero está protegida por los bordes altos de la caja.

They do - the Skmei 1471 is about 2 in and looks the same as this watch (I've got both) - it cost me £11.99 delivered!
Una teoria muy personal sobre esa cruz que parpadea,es para evitar poner este modulo en una caja casio.
Incluso sin la cruz, notas que el módulo de Skmei es peor, los números no son claros, especialmente a la luz del sol.

does the bezel g shock dw 5600 fit on the skmei 1628?
Yes
How long battery works on this watch
About 3 years.
How's the accuracy compared to casio?
Accuracy is poor on the Skmei 1628, it's -25 sec a month. The Casio dw5600 is +15 sec a month.
@@WorldReviews it's written 15sec my Casio G-Shock is 3sec late per month
@@zygote8888 3 seconds/month is very accurate for a G-shock. My Casio MDV-107 keeps the time within +/- 3 seconds a month.
Can u swim and shower with this 1628 model. I want to buy the camo one for my dad.
Yeah, no problem..have 2 of them, no leakages
@@drazenprahin7754 nice I just got mine yesterday actually. Great little quality. My dad enjoys it the straps are soft
Классные часы ,себе взял на Али .
The sound is horrible....
g shocks are overrated and overpriced, i could have a variety of several skmeis for 1 g shock. 👌
Skmei is not a bad watch considering the price. The main difference between the Casio DW5600 and the Skmei 1628 is the water resistance rating.
It is 50m but I had no problems swimming in the sea with it..for most activities its fine
