Skmei 9288 "PRX" homage watch review

[@drazenprahin7754]

I have a soft spot for Skmei, their digital watches are actually quite good..guess the price reduction factor is less visible in that department..it's the analog ones where the cost cutting is more obvious and this one even more so..that brushed/polished difference is awfull..waste of that really nice blue dial.. Thanks for a great review..good work

[@GedmisLaguna]

thanks for watching

[@BosunM8James]

Nice review. I always appreciate how you divide the pros and cons. For $20 I think what Skmei did with this watch, they did well. It's kind of like those plastic metal Casio's that are so popular. The case may not match the band and the band may be a little tinny but for $20 it looks nice. I wouldn't hesitate to pick one up and wear it around the office.

[@GedmisLaguna]

You get what you pay. Not the worst watch for 20$

[@galdeg1393]

IMO, looks really good, that blue is really cool. yes, the bracelet gap is not great but common for 20$ ... The bracelet alone costs more than that.

[@GedmisLaguna]

Totally agree

[@marcelovasconcellos6067]

Very comprehensive review as always, thanks!

[@GedmisLaguna]

My pleasure!

[@conyo985]

WWOOR PRX homage a bit better. All stainless steel case and no awkward gap between case and bracelet. But don't get the blue dial it's actually purple.

[@GedmisLaguna]

could you share the link of Wwoor prx ?

[@AkaPuniSher]

comfortable as hell True masterpiece boys😂just get it I love mine in blue dial❤

[@stevenikazy2943]

Thanks for the review. Maybe they will fix the case, bracelet gap if/when they issue a digital version.

[@GedmisLaguna]

maybe ...

[@rioarayana2717]

Look likes need to compare with my Casio MTP 1240 ... very tempting with half price of Casio MTP 1240 😊

[@justsimplevideos1530]

Nice blue dial indeed. But the case and the bracelet is not good. thanks for review

[@GedmisLaguna]

true true ...

[@RCmadness888]

This is is real casual, cant be more casual then this i figure....a bit to much bling for me, used to have 2 watches, both automatic, Orient with green bezel and one Seiko, both this type, about 20 years ago, the Orient still works, my dad uses it.

[@zimtage1744]

This would have been way better if they had regular lugs and just put a strap on it

[@GedmisLaguna]

100% better

[@harryflashman2001]

As somebody who received this watch from Aliexpress with a broken and useless bracelet, I completely agree.

[@zimtage1744]

@@harryflashman2001 and they could have taken the money they saved on the bracelet and offered a brushed stainless case

[@darioscomicschule1111]

THANKS!

[@GedmisLaguna]

thanks for watching, please check more my videos

[@casteltheghettomonk4392]

For 20$ you cant complain or see it as a negative the 3 atm . Prx os great cause of the bracelet, never seen someone else with another bracelet kinda defeats the whole purpose. The case bracelet not matching i have seen on so many watches between 100-180 $ .

[@GedmisLaguna]

Other Skmei models at the same price point or even cheaper ones have 5ATM WR, so, there is a space for improvement.

[@stephenkeppie1308]

Nice video. While this is a nice watch, I think the SKMEI 9305 is a much more attractive watch!

[@GedmisLaguna]

Another homage ... :) It's a matter of taste.

[@randoms8579]

Should I buy it?.also will it fit in my hand ? Please answer

[@GedmisLaguna]

If you like it why not? what is you wrist size?

[@SoltinhoBH]

Na sua opinião, azul ou preto? Estou num dilema!

[@GedmisLaguna]

for me the blue one

[@SoltinhoBH]

@@GedmisLaguna thanks!

[@casteltheghettomonk4392]

Cant believe complaining about a 18 $ watch ⌚ compared to a 375$ and get disappointed -_- i mean ... Dont even need explanation. Same thing when people complain about the ' swiss made ' standard that 60% of the cost production is in Switzerland. -_-

[@GedmisLaguna]

well, you right. But there are also other Skmei or other Chinese brands' watches at the same price point with better finishing. I mean even at this price point they can do better, and sometimes do.

[@event4216]

Ugh, case/bracelet thing is kinda ugly while blue face is really nice. Tho' I agree very much on a day of week window - it's not needed here, day of month is enough. Also looked at Wwoor variant - while SS case is nice I'd likely prefer polished more. Maybe I'd get used to brushed. Color selection is limited, though. Can anyone comment on bracelet/case spacing on Wwoor? Anyway, currently Wwoor is eur45 and chance to get tax hit. That makes Wwoor rather close to ~eur70 Casio with SS case and no questions how CCP spends part of money I leave on AX.

[@GedmisLaguna]

Skmei could make better but still they stick on a cheap side ...

[@g43reviews68]

the dial looks very good, while the case is not so good

[@GedmisLaguna]

agreed

[@715michala]

Tbh most skmei watches are too boh and can hang a small wrist unsuitable for ladies or boys maybe they assume ( wrongy) big is better and you get more bang for your buck!? These are essentially fashion watches and easily replaceable- they know this and skmei move with the times with customers demands .

[@snipygamingyt8080]

Hey can u please help me out.. My wrist is 14.5 cm and it will be to much loose for my wrist? And how to remove links for this watch ....(Pls reply)

[@GedmisLaguna]

Oush out the pins from the links, then you wuill be able to remove them, Upt to 8 links can be removed.

[@rsg5850]

Skmei should make the case stainless steel and brush match it SS bracelet.

[@GedmisLaguna]

Actually Skmei has several st.steel models, but they are more expensive.

[@learnandshare7855]

How prone is its glass to scratches?

[@GedmisLaguna]

Its hardened glass with mineral coating , should be close to mineral glass.

[@laurenttorres2768]

Look at the wwoor prx homage

[@GedmisLaguna]

thanks, could you share the link ? can't find it ...

[@laurenttorres2768]

You coud find it to wwoor original store at aliexpress

[@williamstalvey6920]

Are they for sale on Amazon yet?

[@GedmisLaguna]

Didn't find it on Amazon :(

[@Archetip0]

Skmei made the "effort" to use a Japanese movement, but ruined it with an inappropriate strap.

[@604PlasticJesus]

I love this watch! I wear mine quite a bit as it suites me well. the pretty blue brings out my eyes and it being a cheap pice of shit pairs well with my demeanour

[@GedmisLaguna]

from a distance it looks realy well

[@lioneldupont236]

Cool Price

[@GedmisLaguna]

Sure is

[@WorldReviews]

Now it costs 26 $ on Ali Express, it's too much for a Skmei watch.

[@teamjimbeam9547]

Nice dial but the case is not good :(

[@GedmisLaguna]

true

[@ojsimps701]

If it had auto all stainless 38mm 40usd

[@GedmisLaguna]

for 40$ would be perfect :)

[@ojsimps701]

The music is better

[@GedmisLaguna]

Thanks

[@Финист]

Кла-ссн-ень-ко... 👻

[@BarnOwl61]

Sorry to say, this is a poor quality homage watch. Not going to say more about it.

[@GedmisLaguna]

As I said, nice dial, but poor case/bracelet execution

[@WorldReviews]

But the original costs more than 400$, not everyone wants to spend that kind of money on a wristwatch.
