Was going through Aliexpress for a bit and came across this. Seems like a pretty good alternative to the classic Casio watches (https://www.amazon.com/Casio-Classic-Digital-Watch-Color/dp/…)

Update: These aren't stainless steel but are chrome painted plastic.

    Cheap ~$2 watches have been around for decades. Not similar to a Casio, so not an alternative IMO.

      Same same..

      Notice the L plates? OPs new. It's like under $3 for a cool watch that you can actually pull off wearing

        One of the best fun cheapo's I have bought is the Skmei 1134, I found it on ebay for $9.07
        I have the blue negative display model. I don't know why they say it's a kids watch as it's 50mm wide.
        The Skmei 0907 is great also for $9.62

        If you want a nice quality Casio dive watch, this deal is still available -

          I'll give it to You, ya know your watches man :-) Good stuff!

          Skmei 1134 is cool. Love that look. Bought an gx-56 which pays homage to that

    If it is a deal, could someone post a so-called Rolex alternative?

    • noob

    • They're brilliant - you can just pop the back off to change the battery.

    Alternative = duplicate?

    Was going to buy 6 of each colour until I realised they are not casio. Please change ur description. I purchased the black rubber original on ebay last month for like 9.95 delivered from an oz seller.
    In the picture on aliexpress, the face plate has a border (white on the Gold and blue on the silver model) which both look to be stuck on crooked if u look a little carefully. If this is the best photo they could take, I have to guess the actual watch is pretty shotty. Good luck to anyone who gets it. At this price, who can complain? The original casio model in gold and silver are selling for around 20 on ebay.

      Was going to buy 6 of each colour until I realised they are not casio.

      So you thought these were genuine for $2.46 delivered?

      I have a bridge for sale if you're interested.

      Please change ur description.

      What part of alternative don't you understand?

      At this price, who can complain?

      You……

        Thanks for the critical analysis of my message. I'll take your feedback on-board for future messages. Sorry if I upset you.lol.

    Not casio . change title.

      • +4

        The word "alternative" in the title is not located next to the word Casio. The natural assumption is that an adjective modifies the word it is nearest. Therefore the title suggests that this is a "Watch Alternative".

      • +1

        It's a non-sentence so it becomes ambiguous

        "Casio Classic Digital Watch Alternative"

        Could be interpreted to mean something like Casio Classic is the Digital Watch Alternative

        Something like:

        "Alternative to Casio Digital Watch" would be a lot more clear.

    Pretty sure I won one of these at Timezone 20 years ago.

    • +3

      20 years ago? - Let be honest with ourselves here - I think you mean 30-40 years ago ;-)

      • I paid 10 for the one on the right in 1987. I think the correct period would be 20-30 years.

  • +1

    Fake watch.

    • +3

      looks like a real watch to me?

      maybe a fake casio though

      • +1

        Fakes are made to look like the real watch. It's called a fake (replica).

    • Fake watch.

      This watch is more real than your reason for neg voting.

      • How Can My Neg Be Real If Our Eyes Aren't Real?

        • It's real if you believe it is real. E.g. JV

    Casio Classic Digital Watch Alternative

    soon we wil have posts promoting Dyson alternatives , Eneloop alternatives, iPhone alternatives etc, and people posting comments as jv alternatives

    • They sort of are already, looking at their Avatar photos. A bit of fun though, I actually like reading JV's comments for a dry laugh, sometimes even helpful info :-)

    its a genuine Casmio

  • +17

    This is a poor quality deal, OP. I don't want to see OzBargain become a trinket shop.

  • A decent button battery would cost that much… Just don't understand how such a price can be achieved…

    Wear this, play puck monster and then pick up pinky Brewster . RAD!

    Was going to buy one.
    Then realised that
    1. this is not CASIO
    2. I already got a smart phone with better clock, alarm, timer functionality

    Casio should be removed from title. It doesnt mention anywhere on the product page thats its a casio. Brand Name:BLUELANS

    • +1

      Casio lookalike instead? :)

    • +2

      Casio should be removed from title. It doesnt mention anywhere on the product page thats its a casio. Brand Name:BLUELANS

      It's a copy of the Casio Classic design. It's clearly not a genuine Casio.

      • It's clearly not a genuine Casio.

        Seconded. Two fiddy won't get you anything branded. The Casio bit is descriptive of the design - I don't think anyone would be genuinely surprised it's fake.

        The Eames lounge chair that gets bargained every few months is not really an Eames chair either.

        That said, simply using the word "replica" instead of alternative would solve all these complaints.

  • +1

    not casio, crap replica watch.

  • +2

    Don't be discouraged OP. In my last OzB life I had my first 2 out of three deals removed.
    So thanks for posting. Keep it up.

  • Sorry OP, this is normal price for this watch on AliExpress. Not a deal.

  • +2

    Thanks for posting what you thought was a good deal, but be a man/woman about it and remove/change the "Casio" as first word as mentioned above, for most is misleading using tactics like sleazy car salesmen and politicians.

    Treat us with more honesty please, but keep up posting.

    I actually gave the deal a + for effort.

    It's a shame they don't accept Paypal as a payment method.

    Just a heads up as no one has mentioned this yet - The watch case is not stainless steel, it's painted plastic.
    This is mentioned in some of the feedback.

    • This is the case for LOTS of these dollar watches on Aliexpress. No glass face either - it's all plastic.

      You can't really tell until you tap it - or wear it for more than a week and the metallic paint starts wearing off.

      Also - at least for the analogue watches - they use a lot of power so you'll be changing batteries every few months.

  • It's kind of wrong to just rip off just the design cues of something that can do this: http://forums.watchuseek.com/f74/can-i-dive-30m-wr-watch-emp…

    Good effort OP, but this just felt wrong.

  • chrome painted plastic

    Not a bargain

  • Not a bargain, as this is just the normal selling price.

    Seems like a pretty good alternative to the classic Casio watches

    No, just appears to be cheap knock off.

    Does anyone know where is the cheapest place to buy a genuine Casio version from?
