Twelve Reasons Why Skmei Is Better Than Casio

  1. Skmei is cheaper. You can buy at least ten Skmeis for the same price as only one Casio.

  2. Casio only homage design elements from other brands, but Skmei make 1:1 copies with only the brand name changed. That means you are guaranteed to have a watch which looks exactly like the expensive one rather than something which only looks a little bit like it.

  3. Casio have never homaged Omega, Patek, AP, Cartier, Briston, Nixon, Daniel Wellington, or even Timex. But Skmei have!

  4. No crappy LEDs which can't illuminate the display, Skmei has its own patented Electro Luminescent backlight which lights up the entire room!

  5. Casio's Vintage range only brings back their own back catalogue with poorer materials, but Skmei bring back everyone's back catalogues and their current ones.

  6. Doctor Who has worn a Skmei but has never worn a Casio.

  7. Skmei have at least 10,000 different models available all the time. Not only is this more than Casio, but none of them are ever out of stock.

  8. Want a watch which looks like an expensive brand but is at least 10mm bigger and in different colours? Skmei has you covered.

  9. Unlike Casio, no Skmei has any fancy gimmicks which you'll never use such as thermometers, barometers, altimeters, compasses, and pedometers, except, of course, when they do.

  10. Skmei doesn't use the same module in every watch with inflated prices based only on having a different case or colour.

  11. There are no fake Skmeis for sale on eBay.

  12. You don't have to join a list and wait for the call with Skmei. Oh wait, that's another ripoff brand not Casio... or is it?

Yeah, but everyone can pronounce Casio.

Not so much Smeik....simke..skime....smkie.................

I see about 10 of those reasons are why Casio is better.

·

I got my son a Skmei version of the Casio A168. It gained almost 10 seconds per day and fell apart after a couple weeks. Other than that it was great.

·

Which would be even funnier if Skmei actually made their own version of a Casio A168, which they don't. They do make their own version of the A158 though with a better backlight. 😜

That was the one, with the backlight that stopped working when the crystal cracked.

I have to say I have been tempted by the Skmei AQ230 lately.

·

Skmei what? I have never heard of them until now. I just came back from their web side. They only copy other watch company's designs, and you think that is good? No originality means no desirability—a big no from me.

·

"There are no fake Skmeis for sale on eBay." That is funny, given that Skmei is a fake watch company.

·

Like it or not, @casiodean has not told any lies. In fact all of them are true except maybe Dr Who, and that's a guess on my part😉. I will have the check out their advertising, I would love to see their "version" of a Yachtmaster on a handsome man on a sailboat.

·

I stand corrected and have taken myself into a corner and gave myself a good talking to !

·

Once they make something like this, and it lasts for 10+ yrs, maybe....😂🤏🏻🫣 🤣🤪

I do see Skmei's value on some things though. (how the heck do you actually say the name, Sk-look-like-you-are-having-a-brain-fart?)

They do have something similar, but I think you'll need Naviforce for the closer look.

Image

This alone means I will aquire one at some point....🫣😂🤏🏻

I mean they have a high-tech work shop....🤪😎😆🤣

Naviforce sounds like a group of ground workers though 😂😂

·

If you think it’s hard to pronounce Skmei, try this one…..

Watch looks pretty cool though🤔

You take that back! 😜🤣😀😬

That’s ground force……… please don’t block me 😂😂😂😂🤔

·

Wait, when did Doctor Who wear a SKMEI?

·

Skmei have at least 10,000 different models available all the time.

This seems high, but is that European for ten different models?

·
casiodean

In the episode named "Fugitive of the Judoon" when a Doctor prior to Jodie Whittaker (i.e. the one who was in Holby City too), has disguised herself on Earth as a character named Ruth. She uses the Skmei to time her toast, which is somewhat ironic since a toaster is a timer anyway. During the scene there is a close-up of the watch, which is the same Cartier lookalike that I posted at the top.

Well damn, now that makes SKMEI legit!

Have to admire your enthusiasm Dean 👏

Be careful. What were the credentials of the person that gave you a good talking to? These days, there's a lot of "disinformation".*

*"Dis information" is the opposite of "dat information".

"You may have to make do with an ugly middle-aged man on an airbed in a paddling pool".

Stop this post! Stop WatchCrunch!! Stop the Internet!!! Stop the Universe!!!!

Now. Consider this.

We hear so much about "homage" watches, where one manufacturer takes another's design for his own. We tend to think of the Mr. Jones "A Perfectly Useless Afternoon" watch of being a completely original design, with its dial being a person and a rubber ducky floating in a pool. But in this case, Mr. Jones have not copied a mere watch dial, they've stolen casiodean's whole ethos. They owe him royalties, or some kind of compensation at least.

Something is happening here and you don't know what it is - do you, Mr. Jones???
