I have one of these and it’s a joy to wear, at this price pretty much unbeatable.

I bought this watch before but the bezel around the time display had a defect so I got rid of it and I bought another one. The one I have now is perfect and I love it.

Great review as always mate. Congratulations again on 2k subs. I had a look at one of these after people saying I should checkout some Skmei watches. It definitely looks like a lot of watch for the money. The only thing that put me off from buying one though was the finishing on the front... I think it looks a bit rough and kind of ruins the overall look.

Ma nishma? Aviv There is also the option To buy a casio g-shock dw5600 And put the "Solid stainless steel watchband for casio GW-M5610 DW5600 GW-5000 DW-5030 G-5600 watch band and frame case solid metal bracelet" From aliexpress. So for about $100 You get the real casio in a metal case.

If the digits dont line up in the window properly take the back off and re-align by turning the movement slightly,when you put the back on it stay's re-aligned,I had to do this.Try a round plaster on the back this stops wear & rusting.Its a great watch for the money.

Not even close. The case is made out of a zinc alloy instead of stainless steel. The bracelet is made out of folded pressed links instead of solid ones. The backplate is not a screwdown one. Waterproof only to 30 meters instead of 200 meters. Most likely the model is not as well protected inside the case as a real G Shock.

Definitely a lot of watch for the money, there is no denying that. I get a bit more critical of Homage watches when they are based off pieces that won't necessarily break the bank. I am very interested in your comparison between the SKMEI and the Sande though, because like you mentioned I have seen the SKMEI everywhere but haven't heard anything about the Sande. I'm looking forward to seeing how they compare!

I have its cousin, the black resin G-Clone with a negative display and neon green backlight. Does it look rad, especially on a black Zulu? Yes, 100% what a ninja would wear. Is it as readable as a regular display? Unfortunetely not, but it's not like Casio managed to do that either. The fact that it fits any regular 18mm strap is pretty nice btw, the original G-Squares don't.

Looks like another one of those watches you cant change the band on due to the proprietary band mount at the case, I have an 8.5 inchwrist and factory bands are always too short, and since this doesnt use spring pin mounting im forced to pass as I cant change to a NATO band to get the extra length.

Nice review, but I have to add that. Sanda 390 is definitely a better watch. Because Sanda 390 can be separated from the case thanks to the screws located next to the case. And the original g shock sits on the 5600 case. This is not possible in Skmei. It is possible to find 5600 bezel cords for 10 dollars on Aliexpress.

80% of the watch ? Not even close. Zinc alloy case instead of stainless steel. The caseback is not a screwdown one. Water resist only 30 meters vs the 200 meters of the real one. Folded pressed links in the bracelet instead of solid ones. No solar. No multiband 6 atomic time. No Bluetooth. No 24 hour countdown timer.
