Biggest surprise of 2023
So I am going to completely blame @casiodean for this one. Never had an interest in G-Shocks due to the price, but saw this cheeky deal on AliExpress for £12 and thought let's see what all Dean's latest hype is about!
Skmei 1358,
So many features I was sceptical that they would actually work. But, they do!
Wanted a good backlight for camping. And got it!
Had to use the compass on a trip out to the hills this week. And it was accurate!
Lost power in the storm and wanted to see how cold it had gotten in the cottage. It was really cold!
Thank you Dean, your enthusiastic posts about the brand have helped me step out of my comfort zone and I can see you could make a really cheap collection with just these watches. What a great affordable way to introduce a child (or a big kid) to the hobby.
Scottish, in my 50's and I prefer 20th century styling & design for my watches. Have no preference over movement type, Quartz or mechanical they both have pro's & cons. For me, a watch is for telling...
Skmei are great. Not just great for the money, but just great overall. I'm glad you also found something good among them. Remember though, I'm not an influencer. 😉
Smael is the new Skmei 😂
Got my next piece of crazy weirdness on order, the Skmei 0926.
Smael is just an inferior Skmei clomage 😂
The new SKMEI…
