PASOY Men's Digital Gold Stainless Steel Watch Backlit Multifunction Stopwatch Waterproof Sport Watches

I collect inexpensive watches for fun...and I love that a little bit of money (often well under $50 when bought on Amazon or AliExpress) will buy a lot of watch these days. So cool!!! So I'm looking for well-made inexpensive watches, that have a look and function I find pleasing. I'm very partial to digital readout, and yes, even the plastic watch body with GOLD PLATING and this lightweight SOLID LINK band with sliding adjustment of master link, because it's easy to adjust and lays comfortably on the wrist. Most important, these are LIGHT IN WEIGHT as are most inexpensive watches of this type. If it scratches up over time, I'll just get another one...it ain't a lifetime investment! I wanted to try the SKMEI (or PASOY) brand basic digital watch, as they are very inexpensive...half to 1/4 the cost of CASIO (AliExpress or Amazon.) I'm partial to Amazon because they are a safe buy for the consumer, any problem, you're going to get your money back. (Because they hold the vendor's money for 30 days, good for us, not so fun for the vendor!) Well here's what I found...the plating on this watch is very nice, it's smooth and even, LOOKS GREAT and has no bumps or imperfections. Yes, the LED display numbers ARE a tad SMALLER than on the comparable Casio model, and they have a little less contrast to the background....BUT, BUT, BUT....this one is "good enough." (Yes, I'm saying the SKMEI is not identical to Casio, but it's certainly good enough- especially when we factor in the price difference.) Whether Casio metal bands or the one on this SKMEI, I do use a Dremmel tool to smooth the inside edges of the watch band first with a round stone, then with polisher and Mother's mag polish so it's rounded to my skin a bit where the watch band touches my wrist. If you want to see how to see this done, watch my video I'll post in a week on the YouTube Channel THE DUMB WATCH GUY. (HERE'S A SECRET...in today's market, all watches work well, and just so you know the least expensive quartz movement AND OF COURSE ALL DIGITAL WATCHES are more accurate keeping time than a Rolex! Time spent in hand craftsmanship is a big part of premium watch price. I can smooth the inside edge of the watch band on a Casio or SKMEI with a Dremmel tool easily enough.) There are some things this SKMEI does better than a Casio, yep, you heard right...I actually prefer the night lighting of the SKMEI because it is the NUMBERS THEMSELVES WHICH LIGHT....not a backlight behind grey numbers as Casio does. A few reviews online say the watch is too small for a man, or the watch band won't fit a man's wrist. SORRY, NOPE, I have an average 7 1/4" measured wrist circumference and it would go at least another another inch if needed. You'll see from the pics that the fit is just fine on the wrist, and it does not look to small. Although to be fair I don't like monster sized watches. Overall I'll give this SKMEI watch a 100% score, IT IS TRULY GOOD ENOUGH! to my mind. I do not get paid to say things about watches, nor do I get free watches, I'm just like you, somebody who enjoys collecting watches, and given that you're looking at this one, I figure you like inexpensive watches too. Well done SKMEI or PASOY, or whatever your name is...does anybody know what the firm's real name is? You gots a customer!!!

Looks really great. The gold looks real and authentic. If you read the instructions you’ll be able to set everything g up easy.

For an inexpensive watch with retro digital display this is a good choice. The only reason it didn’t get five stars is the clasp is a little hard to disengage when you want to take the watch off.

Wow this thing is better than my Casios! Holds the atomic time, for now. I popped the back and it all looks good inside. Screwed down module inside, not a plastic retainer. The viewing angle everyone complains about, but Armitron has way worse. I think the Rubik has the words viewing angles I've ever seen. This Skmei is excellent! No it doesn't come off, you have to bend the little tab that grabs it shut, with a pliars. Be very careful as this can break easily, but it IS necessary. I like the beep too, it's pretty loud. Compared to a Casio. The only better Casio is an a1000. Although I'm pretty convinced this is chromed plastic case. It feels EXACTLY like an a168w case. Still for $17 brand new, absolutely flawless. I thought the finish would be worse tbh but it's actually well done, nothing rough, loose, rattly or rusty. It does jangle a little though.

Wow, I bought this watch not expecting much, I have to say SKMEI exceeded my expectations, this watch rivals my Casio A158, the watch it pays homage to. Very impressed with the backlight, case, which beats CASIO’s chrome plated case and overall look. Definitely highlights, personally I like the higher pitch beeps which is more effective in noisy environments. Can’t really complain, worth the price.

The watch looks great. Backlight is awesome. Unfortunately, the clasp is not functional. This thing always falls off my wrist after a few minutes.

First, full disclosure. I'm a fan of all blue watches. This one, considering price, is a good-looking timepiece. The design is, let's be kind, a homage to the Casio F91W. The backlight on the SKMEI is outstanding, the F91W not so much. The bracelet on the SKMEI is flawed by, as others have noted, the poor design of the clasp. Bluntly it's cheaply constructed, can't use a fingernail to open the clasp adjustment or finger pressure to close it, requires the use of a screwdriver which is included. Another flaw is the chime and alarm beep. you must hold the watch up to your ear to hear it. Why offer chime and alarm functions when you can't hear the signal? So, all in all I still like the watch, despite its flaws after all it's all blue.

This watch is pretty solid for $20. Nice color, clear display, and pretty good size. The watch face was a little smaller than I initially expected but still a good size and easy to read. adjusting the clasp on the band was a bit tricky but the included QR code leads to a video that makes it super simple. I haven’t done any crazy activity around water yet to put its water resistance to the test but it can withstand me washing my hands which is a plus. Overall, not a bad little nugget.

Daily driver, 0 issues keeps perfect time, nice quality all around very pleased. *****

Love it, nice gold color not too gold, elegant and light, has alarm good choice

dreadful, would not recommend. It is really flimsy and has not been worn at all. Cheap quality

classy and retro. I love the style. It became my signature watch.

I'm totally in love with my Skmei! At first I was skeptical but after having worn this watch daily for 3 weeks I don't see myself taking it off anytime soon. Almost half the price the comparable Casio model with a far superior backlight, and the option of black stainless steel adds an extra 1980s touch; unbeatable. Cannot recommend enough.
