Feels flimsy and I can’t see the logo but maybe I’m wrong!

$17 and your "Casio" ain't gonna get you a room...sorry.

[–] HewisLamilton_@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Since there isn't any casio logo on the watch, it isn't a fake. It's a homage.

[–] andrea55TP@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've seen plenty of these in the past few days for some reason. Definitely not a Casio, technically a homage I guess

[–] Media-Unfair@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Press the bottom right button and Casio should appear on LCD

[–] Media-Unfair@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hold button down for 3 seconds

[–] Specter_Zer0@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Nowdays the Casio easter egg mean nothing, even fake watches can do that now, it is not guaranteed

[–] jaysnothere@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Got a few of those from China, for $1.

Picked up a knockoff red f91w a few years back at a thrift store lol

[–] Key-Pomelo6952@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Why would anyone want to buy a fake for 2$ when the original is 4$ ? To save 2$? 😂 100% saving lol 😂😂

[–] scuderia91@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

50% saving, 100% saving would make it free

[–] Key-Pomelo6952@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Good point 😂

[–] MEME_RAIDER@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Because they don’t know any better. They assume the watch is real, because as plenty of people have asked here, why fake a $4 watch?

If I buy a Rolex online that’s a fraction of the price of the real thing I know I’m getting a fake. If I buy a $4 Casio for $2 I can easily assume I’m just getting a bargain.

[–] PurpleAd6405@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

there’s alot who can’t afford a casio, mostly in 3rd world countries. It’s not a laughable thing bro

[–] eternalbuzz@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If you can’t afford $4 you probably also can’t afford $2

I love the Klarna payments on the fake Bucherer. That just kills me for some reason.

[–] belacsn@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

and how we can tell what's real and what's fake? any differences we can spot with bare eyes? Any suggestions, I don't want to buy a fake one for the price of original?

Why wouldn’t you? They’re the most popular watches in the world and very cheap and easy to mass produce. A decent fake of a luxury watch requires a decent degree of finish and a mechanical movement to look remotely passable as the real thing, but these are so easy that they often look almost identical.

Casio is far less litigious than luxury watch brands, so it’s easier to openly sell fakes compared to brands like Rolex which come down heavy on counterfeiters.

Looks nice.

[–] kinjjibo@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I have the same one. Bought it for $5 on eBay. Got 2. I love them

[–] Damonscomputer@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yeh got mine on Vinted, not bad but def flimsy

[–] Coast_General@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Casios feel flumsy even if they're real but this is a fake yes.

[–] Damonscomputer@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Idk it feels cheaper ngl but I can’t complain for the price 🤷‍♂️

[–] Omg_Shut_the_fuck_up@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Long as it was less than 2quid, as that's what they cost new...

[–] MEME_RAIDER@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Casios actually feel very well and well finished made for the price. They’re known for making durable, quality consumer electronics. They’re cheap but they’re not trash.

[–] weedful_things@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I wear Casios at work. They usually last 5 years or so before I mess them up.

[–] Devos_Lemmens@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (6 children)
[–] here2stay96@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

crazy how cheap they can produce these things

[–] Lick_Ross@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (4 children)

They're usually priced at a loss to drive up the amount of purchases on these platforms. The entire business model is messed up.

[–] Real-Contribution285@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I bet his grandpa died and left it to him. #TaleAsOldAsTime

[–] Devos_Lemmens@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

His grandpa said it was a Casio 🤣 Funny grandpa

Yup, I just picked up a silver, gold and black one just to see what they’re all about for $1 each on Aliexpress 11.11 sale.

[–] -hoodsorcerer-@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

looks pretty dope though

[–] EndonOfMarkarth@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

“I have two dollars…. And a Casio.”

[–] Life_Smoke_4200@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hold down the button on the right to be sure IF it's real it'll display the Casio logo

[–] Specter_Zer0@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

You can't be sure if is real in that way, fake Casio can do that

[–] McWatt@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It's not a fake Casio, it's a cheap watch that looks exactly like a Casio. There's a ton of no name brands that have copied Casio over the years.

[–] gdanko@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Caveat emptor

[–] DownJonesIndex@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Amazing Casio rep.

[–] Patient_Fox_6594@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Surprised no comments wars about if and when a homage is a fake or not.

[–] Either_Marsupial_123@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Casios aren’t expensive. It’s technically more affordable to buy them directly from the source because at least that way, you know you’re not getting a $10 knockoff for a $20 watch. 😂

[–] HoodaThunkett@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

that, is a plastic dog poo.

[–] ArtOfWar22@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

that shit don’t even say casio on it..
