Would you purchase the fake to save money even though the quality is subpar?

On the contrary, buying a fake is a complete waste of money, not even saving money!

"Would you purchase the fake G-Shock to save money even though the quality is subpar? ...... NO. First, I detest fraudulent people. Second, the way the watch's programming routine is not the same as that of the real item. If you try to program the fake as shown in the KZfaq video, it can't be done properly.

@fearless6947 4 жыл бұрын

no not worth it. You can get a Skmei or a Sanda homage for much, much cheaper. You can get a real casio 5600 and modified it. Total would be less than $100. The fake one, you don't know what materials they used and might end up costing you more. It might be silver plated and have a cheap movement. Like you said, the finishing is horrible. That is a big no no

@gr8gr3ym Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the video, very informative, since i have not wore a watch for the past 2 decades, and the original one is 25 times more expansive, i think i will buy a fake one, use for 6 months, and if i am still into it, buy the original, do you know of any retailers that sells originals in Brazil?

@wittwittwer1043 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the informative review. I probably have a fake one, although: The face surround and the band are both brushed and the solar cells are dim . There is no number on the back of the band, and the screw-back has no indents whatever. It does say "made in Japan" on it. My watch has dual LED illuminators: RH top, and LH bottom. I cannot hear my watch make ANY sound unless I'm in a very quiet area. You did not mention two things about the differences in display: 1. The fake one is greyish and the bottom of the time display touches the bottom of the display frame. 2. The real display is greenish, and the bottom of the time display seems to be at least a one sixteenth of an inch above the bottom of the display frame. Finally, the price. I paid $79 US for mine & got it from an online place called the Halloween Shop (I think it is in China).

Yes you can use it. If you find a slight difference in the size, just file it a little to fit the slot. Because the original bands are expensive. Say 30% of the cost of the watch.

Nice informative video, I recently bought this model, because the price was 280 euro. I think is almost equivalent to the USD. Actually this model and an older one G-7800B is the only two Casio watches made in Japan that I own ,and I was thinking maybe it is a fake one. All the other ones are made in Thailand, even the protrek models. But according to this video it is the real one. The Bluetooth is working, the sound is the same, and the display has a very good contrast, compared even with the other g-shock watches. I think they improved the LCD. One thing that I observed is a red resin barely visible between the bezel and the black case of the module. It is normal? Or it is a shock absorbing material? The fake one has something like this?

@jamess8175 4 жыл бұрын

You have mentioned all relevant differences but left out an instant giveaway of the fake. Don't need to even hold the watch and scrutinise details, just spend 2 secs looking at the watch window. Didn't you realise the time display is partially blocked by the window at the bottom section, so much that the bottom stroke of the time is concealed? Look at the extreme bottom stroke of the "8" and "9". Aren't they blocked by the window? Which decent watch manufacturer would position the time display till the bottom strokes are blocked from view? Obviously the authentic Casio's time display is higher up and more centralised. I am surprised you didn't notice that glaring flaw which is an instant giveaway. Well, this is certainly an ultra low grade replica. You definitely don't need a real one next to it to differentiate them. Even a $15 or $20 authentic digital Casio has decent positioning of the display.

dude!!! you have to lay these two watches on the table so you don't shake. and i can't tell your #1 - you have to explain better and use the right angle to catch the light. also it's harder to tell unless we have TWO watches to compare. that is why you need to lay these watches on the table with better closeups. the only real diff you explained are the recessed buttons, the cheaper price, and the serial number on the back - these things can be identified WITHOUT requiring two comparison watches it's obvious to you or a seasoned owner and you have both sitting in front of you
