I have had the same skmei 1628 for the past 3 years. Use it as my go-to daily wearer for most situations and it holds up great. Rain no problems, dishwashing no problems. Even swam with it few times without thinking, no problems. I got the normal display, and that green back light is a beast. Which has helped me through my dark garage and find stuff in my car numerous times. The watch has a auto repeat countdown timer and a 10 alarms system you can set by the date of when you want it to set off the alarm."THIS alone made it replace my gshocks as my cooking and work watch". Great for birthday reminders and or doctor appointments. The strap it holding strong and getting even more comfortable as time passes. I got one for my buddy he says he doesn't take it off unless he sleeps. So that means showers and swimming
I got one for my wife now to, so she will stop tryin to take my gshocks to work and get food all over them. She loves it too. The watch to me has a great movement and a gshock platform makes it a top watch for me.
Liked and subbed
Thank you for sharing your experience with the Skmei 1628 and for liking and subscribing! It’s great to hear how durable and functional the watch has been for you over the years, especially with features like the auto-repeat countdown timer and the 10-alarms system. It’s impressive that it has even replaced your G-Shocks for cooking and work! The green backlight sounds like a real lifesaver for low-light situations. I’m glad to hear the strap is holding up well and getting more comfortable over time too. Your detailed review makes this watch sound like a great option for a reliable and affordable daily wearer. I really appreciate your support!
Only Casio ❤🎉
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I like the SKMEI 1628 a lot, I have 9 G-Shocks and I like them a lot. Some are very old! I even have metal cased DW5600, and an original GIEZ but I've slowly also built a little SKMEI collection and they are normally excellent watches when you consider the price.
But for the price the SKMEIs are awesome! I've never had the quality control issue you had, but of course, they can't be as good as Casio given the price. I will continue to buy SKMEI watches as they release new models and colours, they are fun to collect.
They aee good watches, affordable. Waiting for the next model to come out😊
I have this watch and I like it. The only thing I don't like is that the light turns on every time you reset the timer. The timer can be set in seconds too!
The timer is a must for me.. even on the Apple Watch is my #1 feature I use the most... but I wish the light didn't turn on because I use it in the gym. Also, I wish I could turn off the beep sound when I go through the modes.
Yes, a few issues on the settings. But i don’t really mind considering the extremly low price.
You can turn off the button beep:
1. Press MODE (bottom left) once to switch to AL (Alarm mode)
2. Press the LIGHT button (top left) repetitively to cycle through:
- Button beep (the striped bar icon)
- Hourly chime (the bell icon)
- both of the above
- none of the above
3. Press the MODE button 4 times to return to the regular time/date display
I just ordered one to check if I like digital watches. If i do, I'll get a similar gshock. Interesting point is if the strap can be transferred to an original casio. If so it will be worth it to get the watch only to use the strap 😂😂, even if it doesn't last as long as the original strap so what, it is only 8 dollars
Good choice. I think it will fit the g-shock, though I haven’t tried it myself.
Aliexpress about $5-$6
@chriskelly509 cheaper👍
Saw these when I was in Thailand 🇹🇭, that flashing icon is annoying.
Cheap watch😆
@FrugalWatchBox at the mall they have a good selection of casio watches, at the night markets you can find skmei
@chriskelly509 i love both brands, Here's an improved version of your comment:
I usually reserve my Casios for regular wear and use my Skmei for tough jobs.😁
@@FrugalWatchBox I have a sanda 6014 as my beater watch. It's a great watch for $6
@chriskelly509 I've heard about the Sanda brand. I'll be sure to include it in my next order.
The display looks bad on video. How is it in real life?
Also do you have any experience with negative display skmeis?
The display looks good, the reflection from the light made the display bad, in real life it is ok. Recommended.
Negative display on Skmei watches are in par with Casios.
In real life the display is fine, but it is one of the worst SKMEI displays. Other SKMEI models like the 2056 have nicer digital displays.
I have a negative display SKMEI too and I love it!
It's acceptable. At some viewing angles, the digits have low contrast but at most angles it's fine.
