f84w 😇

In my view the F-84W is the real collectible here. I am not so sure but I swear to have worn a F-84W at some point in my life as I recall the details of the dial: everything screams 80s in that watch face, the flatter CASIO logo, the red lines, the Lithium writing, the dotted alarm sign and WATER RESIST written in superwide font, not the WR emblem of the modern watches. A real welcome back to the 80s.

Product design from the late 70s to mid 80s was so awesome, especially things from Japan like the f-84w.

I have the Skmei 1412 in silver metallic finish. 50m water resistant and the back light is really bright. I love it.

@GedmisLaguna

yes, the Skmei backlight is better

One thing about SKMEI watches that you might be able to put it in review in the future, is the readability from sharp angles. I had a few SKMEI watches, and if compared to the original Casio that it copied, the visibility is very bad when viewed from the bottom cos it produces very bad ghostings. Many of us watch users don't view our watches straight at the face but at a slight slanting angle from the bottom. Casio F91w produces very good angle viewing while the SKMEi is totally bad.

If you just want a functional watch at the best price the Skmei is the one to go for. I've had mine over 12 months no issues same battery , 50m WR better back-light and it keeps accurate time. Finish is same as the Casios... £6.00

@@UFA-jc8gu One thing i compared certain model with the original Casio that it copied, is that the SKMEI keeps slightly less accurate time. I mean it is still a quartz watch, but comparing the same model with Casio and the accuracy of the internet time, the SKMEI is off by a few minutes in a few months. So yeah, i guess this is the price of what one is paying for.

I agree, the backlight on the 1412 is much better than either Casios, which was the main reason I picked one up in the first place. It's my beater watch, even more so than the F91W, and functionally between the two, the Casio is much more accurate, losing maybe a little over 1 second a month, vs about 6 seconds a month for the 1412, which is still pretty accurate when compared to any of my mechanical watches. I also have to agree with Fabian Chan's earlier comment about readability as well; when viewed from the bottom at an angle, it's much harder to read the 1412 than it is to read the F91W. All good watches, though, and for the money, you can't go wrong with whatever you pick. Good watch review, Gedmis, thank you!

The silkscreen quality on Skmei watchface is quite fuzzy. I feel they could have done a nicer job here with some more suitable print technology choice. But maybe it's not worth fretting about much.

Actually battery can last longer than 7 years. I got my F-84W in 1993 and I had to replace the battery in 2008. The second battery is still in the watch and... still works. Unfortunately strap isn't so durable - I'm using fourth one.

I think it affects accuracy as well. F84w being the most accurate

Casio should release an F91 in titanium with a sapphire crystal, LED, timer and vibration alarm.

When you press chrono reset button or time field switching in set mode, does the backlight also turn on? Because in the CASIO F91W, the light always turned on when switching fields and chrono reset....

@@GedmisLaguna I dont like that there is afterglow when switching time fields and resetting the chrono, uses up too much battery ... having afterglow implies that there is software controlling the light (instead of hard wiring to the button) .. that means they could have not used the light when setting or resetting,,,

I like the commentary version :-)

For my taste, F91W design is better than SKMEI 1412. The difference i concern is the blue and white line on the watch face. F91W blue line is more visible than its white line. But in SKMEI 1412, its white line is more visible than its blue line and i think its make the watch faces less clean than F91W.

Skmei is easier to replace the battery. The we have to remove the module.

Too bad we can't have the F84W with the backlight from the SKMEI. Anyway, the F84W is the better looking of the lot, in my opinion.
