'The Casio is my occasional everyday watch'. That may just be the stupidest thing I have heard this year. So how does one wear a watch everyday and occasionally?

That’s my mistake for relying too much on AI.😊🙏

Hi, do you find the Q&Q's timekeeping to be more accurate than the Casio?

@FrugalWatchBox Ай бұрын

This watch runs on the Cal. MD19442, a simple quartz movement made by Miyota. Its accuracy seems to match what you’d expect from Casio watches, with other reviews mentioning it keeps time within ±15 to ±30 seconds a month. Solid and reliable for everyday wear!

backlight and strap are superior on the Q &Q . .(i have the ae 1200 with the resin strap, which sucks) but the digits are much better readable on the casio, and the overall look is more balanced on the casio.

@FrugalWatchBox Ай бұрын

I’m with you on that-Casio nails everything except the price!

@bbishop2009 Ай бұрын

Seems to me that the digits on the q are rendered in a strange font.

@FrugalWatchBox Ай бұрын

I agree with you; that font is rarely seen. But I like the bluish display panel.

Having owned both I can tell you that the Q&Q is a decent watch but the display seemed faded on my example. I was also not able to find out how long the battery lasts. I got mine for really cheap so that why I bought it and if you can get it for a good price it will serve you well.

@FrugalWatchBox Ай бұрын

In my example, the Q&Q has a clear display, but the backlight is dim in real life, even though it looks good on camera.

@skyboy19ID Ай бұрын

how good is the QnQ steel? are they feel robust as casio resin or more cheaper like a chrome plated brass? I'm surprised that $15 watch offer stainless steel, not zinc or chrome plated brass like most watch under $30

@FrugalWatchBox Ай бұрын

The case is not stainless steel; it’s made of resin, comparable in quality to Casio’s.

@StrongZeroPowerHour Ай бұрын

their resin is comparable to casio -- though imo they tend to feel slightly softer than casio.

@FrugalWatchBox Ай бұрын

@StrongZeroPowerHour The resin strap seems to be tougher and better quality than Casio.

Where do you order Q&Q watches from?

@FrugalWatchBox Ай бұрын

It’s available on Lazada, but I’m not sure if it’s available in your country. s.lazada.com.my/s.mgfzm

Über die Funktionen hätte man durchaus ausführlicher reden können. Die sind bei der Casio wirklich reichlich vorhanden. 5 Alarme, 5 einstellbare Städte mit zweiter Zeitzone, Countdown-Timer, Stoppuhr. Hat das alles die Q&Q auch? 🤔

@FrugalWatchBox Ай бұрын

The Q&Q watch features world time with 27 selectable cities, five alarms similar to those on Casio models, a countdown timer, and a stopwatch.

Q&Q It has electroluminescence, Mineral crystal, the timer can be set to less than 1 minute, something Casio doesn't.Oh, and it's three times cheaper than a Casio.

@FrugalWatchBox 20 күн бұрын

@WillAGG Totally, cheaper and packed with features is the way to go!

Casio side by side with the Q&Q.. Although very similar, the Casio just out-does the Q&Q. It just looks more upmarket (if you can say that about cheap resin watches). There is just something very cool about the way the Casio stands out. It's like comparing 2 similar looking blokes wearing similar suits. One is well groomed and his suit is well ironed. The other is ungroomed, his suit is crumpled and does not fit. If the Q&Q was being sold for a single dollar I would not buy it. My Casio Royale is King...Long live the King.

@FrugalWatchBox Ай бұрын

I respect your opinion and appreciation for the Casio Royale. In my review of the two, I found that the Royale is indeed superior.

I can't find this watch anywhere.

@FrugalWatchBox Ай бұрын

Try amazon.

@knutjunker2019 Ай бұрын

Why do you write »Citizen« in the Title? Anyway, it's a bad rip off of the original with a poorly designed display. Apart from that, with the Casio you simply have many more options for modding the watch, be it stainless steel cases from SKXmod or various strap options. I wouldn't even consider buying this knock-off.

@FrugalWatchBox Ай бұрын

This is not a knock-off. Please research Q&Q watches for more information.

@@FrugalWatchBox oh, is QQ a Citizen Brand? Interesting, because i don't like their watches at all. Every piece looks like the cheapest aliexpress-crap for two bucks.
