A weird commentary on the Sanda 2009 G-Shock "homage"

My weird, impromptu, commentary on this Sanda 2009 model.

Great bargain for what it is, nice alternative to the more expensive G Shock dw5600 series models.

Came for theCasio, stayed for the SKMEI

I’ve always been a fan of the classic G-Shock square line, from my GW-M5610 to the GW-BX5600. But I noticed I was babying them, constantly careful. And honestly, for my daily use, mostly everyday wear and maybe a pool dip, paying a premium felt excessive. So, I grabbed a SKMEI 1622, well, a Calypso rebrand of it. I put on a black strap, a screen protector, and made my own G-Shock clone. It cost about 20 euros. In the image, you’ll see the Calypso, it’s a rebranded SKMEI. It’s solid, water resistance is fine, and now I’ve got a watch I don’t stress about. I still like G-Shocks, but for daily use, this does the job perfectly!
