Love it, just gotta figure out how to not break my tools when sizing this strap down. Paid a little extra to get the vintage Casio band, have a ton of them and this is the only one that’s ever pulled hair out of my arm. 9/10
Okay, so there are something like a million different Skmei out there. But we only talk about a few. Granted the 1628 is amazing. What about the 2218? The 2218 looks best (my opinion) with the black display. The problem is the black display isn’t really a good choice for seeing what time it is, if viewing conditions aren’t idea ( inside in indirect light). When it’s in daylight (even indirect) or dim indoors you have to use the backlight. To do that you press its single button for a second—or is it 1.5 or 2 ? My backlight doesn’t work at all. So, an unforced qc error on Skmei. But get used to using the one button pressing for varying lengths of time to get it to do anything other than look okay. The strap is worth $5usd (perhaps), so it’s a break even proposition (sort of).
After a week with it, I’m moving on to another lesser known Skmei.
This thing has an unusually soft and comfortable strap and it's so light you forget you're wearing it. I do recommend.
Alas, the reason I've posted this. I have more expensive watches, but these Chinese watched don't get the attention they deserve. Tough little watches, mine has been submerged in water, while swimming. It only has 5bar (or 50 meters, 160 or so some odd feet) water resistance. So I've worn it in the shower, and its been beat up a bit also, not bad, but still. I've had it for 4 years also, no new battery yet, either. Skmei makes decent watches for the price point, and in my opinion, it's hard to argue that they aren't worthy watches to wear for everyday life, or hiking, or swimming. It's a great watch! Thank you each for reading, have a wonderful day! And share your thoughts on Skmei watches if you wish! Again, thank you all!
Hello all,
Probably all of us agree that Skmei makes very good watches for the price. Yes, their quality control and materials are not Casio level, but often their homages are a fraction of the price of similar Casio models.
But what about Skmei analogue watches?
They are usually more expensive than their digital ones. Cheap watches overall, yes, but not money to throw away if the watch is not good or going to break with normal use in 1 year.
What experiences do the lovely people of this community have with their analogue models?
Thanks!

Very good watch highly recommend
is the Ohsen bigger or is it just me?
This guy seems to be able to endure some watery leisure activity quite well. Positively surprised!
Anyone know anything about these? If I order 300 of them would anyone buy some to help me get the money back? lol
