My Thoughts
I had never heard of the SKMEI brand before, it seems that they mostly make cheaper near clones / copies of Casio watches, but I decided to give them a chance
This watch looked pretty good and had the functions that I wanted, but unfortunately the build and painting quality is not up to standards compared to Casio.
A couple of days after getting this watch, the black plastic frame on the front fell off at work on a Saturday when I was helping my coworker Ms. RB with a computer problem.
I was going to send the watch back, except the watch actually looked better without that plastic on it, and so I decided to keep the watch. 😀
In less than a month, the Dual Time text at the top of the watch is already fading.
The El Luminous text, which makes me laugh when I say it thanks to this video, is holding up well somehow though.
Some gold paint on the plastic casing is already gone, and a few tiny gold painted spots on the metal band are already gone.
So the paint is not holding up as well as it should.
Next time I will get a Casio watch instead of SKMEI unless it is a model that they either no longer have or that is too expensive.
If I decide to get a normal watch again, I might try a smartwatch for the first time next time, if so, I will try another brand.
