Something Ive noticed buying Casios on Flipkart for the last 3 years
I’ve been buying Casios pretty regularly for about 3 years now, mostly from Flipkart because the prices can be crazy good. Most of the Casio listings I come across are sold by Wizrob Fashion.
Here’s a pattern I keep seeing. A watch sells at MRP or a normal discount and goes out of stock. Then that same night, or a day or two later, the exact same watch is back at a way lower price, and there’s only 1 or 2 units.
I started buying both kinds: the MRP ones and the suddenly cheap ones. And the difference was easy to spot. The cheap restocked ones had no plastic wrap, no screen protector film, sometimes no cushion in the box, and clear signs of wear. On the resin you can see it really well under good lighting. I’ve seen this side by side because I bought both versions of the same watch.
My guess is these are returned watches. You see it on this sub all the time during sales: people order a bunch of watches, post wrist shots asking which one to keep, then send the rest back. Those returns get put back in stock, sometimes at a lower price, sometimes not even discounted. Then the next person gets a “new” watch with scratches or visible wear, and that’s a ruined experience.
Not ranting, and I can’t say this is what every listing is. It’s just what I’ve noticed across my own orders.
I’m not saying don’t buy from Flipkart, there are genuinely good deals. Just check the condition as soon as it arrives, especially if a single unit randomly shows up at a very low price.
thoughtss?
