    Great price for these watches, absolutely love my SKMEIs'.

    Thanks. Will try sanda 329 :)

    Wow that YouTube video - actually had me hooked!

    • nimbin2k on 15/10/2018 - 22:44

      Well, there goes almost five minutes of my life that I won't get back, or be able to say search for bargains

      • resisting the urge on 16/10/2018 - 00:04

        The video was for the girls. Especially the girls.

        Maybe I missed something there too

        Not gonna buy this thing, it is far too small for use by any normal person. Besides $11 (let alone $6.64) is just way out of my price range

    You just had to post 2 watches, now I have to get them both…

    Sanda 329 Large or Small, does this just mean large = male and small = female?

    • PJC on 15/10/2018 - 23:02

      Perhaps, but 34mm x 43mm x 13mm would often be described as Unisex.

      • JimmyJohnson on 15/10/2018 - 23:18

        Just in the choosing colour option it has black male, black female etc options

    Hey WatchNerd (and other watch lovers) I am thinking of buying a second auto mechanical watch - I already have a Seiko SNZF17K1- in the sub $750 range. Can it be done or am I dreaming at that price range?

    All suggestions welcome.

      What about a sporty Skmei 1155 for $6.64 offered in this deal post?

        • PJC on 16/10/2018 - 07:29
          +4

          Research? We are fortunate OP invested his effort to research these two watches and post this deal for fellow Members.

            @PJC: Where did I suggest otherwise? I was asking someone on this site who is obviously well-versed in watches to give a recommendation if they had the time. You know, what people might do on a forum or website like this one?

            I really don't understand the hostility & downvoting here.

              Member sky blu's suggestion is entirely relevant to this post.

              It looks like shit, …

              I suggested research. It is gratifying OP has posted a deal for 2 watches that represent remarkable value for so little money. He posted a bargain - you know, what people might do on a forum or website like this one? Perhaps the results of your research will comprise your maiden OzBargain post. You won't mind off-topic unappreciative inquiries there about far more expensive timepieces.

                @PJC: All suggestions relevant to the criteria I had posted. Did I really have to point that out?

                If I say I want to buy a hatchback, for less than X amount and someone offers a station-wagon in the wrong price range they are being dense or trolling.

                People ask for other recommendations in comment section of other deals all the time, especially if the OP is obviously well-versed in that topic. There is no harm in it. Or, at least I thought there was no harm in it.

                Perhaps the results of your research will comprise your maiden OzBargain post.

                Should I make sure to do the grovelling "sorry if I made a mistake, it is my first time posting a bargain" dance too?

                  @Chewy Chunks: It is hardly surprising the Skmei 1155 is now out of stock and I applaud OP's efforts in sharing this opportunity to purchase.

                  If I say I want to buy a hatchback, for less than X amount and someone offers a station-wagon in the wrong price range they are being dense or trolling.

                  That insult is unfair because Member sky blu is neither dense nor trolling to suggest purchasing a watch specifically posted where you seek attention concerning one costing 100 times the price. As for hostility, we know who initiated that …

                  It looks like shit, …

                  … yet I suggested research …

                    Uh, OK? What's with all the flattery directed towards the OP? Actually, never mind. I'm not sure I want to know the answer to that.

                    All I asked for was a watch recommendation with certain criteria. People were free to offer me advice or not, offering irrelevant advice was trying to troll. It's clear that was the aim.

                    Asking someone who is familiar with watches, their price ranges etc. is a form of research, isn't it?

                    You seem to be hung up on the idea that I was out of line for asking advice in the comment section of this thread. If I had asked someone who randomly posted a watch deal it might be odd, but given the OP posts watch deals all the time it seems reasonable other members might ask for their input, which again, they are free to offer or not.

                    Is there a rule against asking people in the comments of an existing deal about others similar items they might know of? If there is not then my question was completely fine and you two muppets have over-reacted.

                      @Chewy Chunks: Seeing demand has exceeded supply, it would be advantageous to Members if OP posts another Skmei 1155 deal when stocks are replenished.

                      Member sky blu is not a troll or a muppet for suggesting you purchase one. I suggested research because you were dissatisfied with the result of what you now call "research". Though apparently a Muppet, I have posted more Seiko watches and Automatic watches on OzBargain than anybody. Would you like me to recommend something relevant?

                        • PJC on 16/10/2018 - 20:10

                          @Chewy Chunks: At only $7.30 delivered, both watches may be suitable inexpensive Christmas stocking fillers for young recipients.

  • benchman on 15/10/2018 - 23:18

    Thanks for the post!
    I have been told that the negative displays are sometimes harder to read.
    Any pros/cons regarding positive/negative displays for the Sanda 329, such as battery life etc?

  • idonotknowwhy on 15/10/2018 - 23:26

    How accurate are these over a 2 month period? Will they keep time accurately (relative to their travel in space) within say 1 second?

    • Tunblor on 02/11/2018 - 13:59

      They would be Quartz based watches, which even on the cheapest models are more accurate than Grandmaster watchmakers from the 19th century could ever dream of.

      Typical accuracy for a quartz watch is +-30 seconds per month, the less temperature variations experienced by the watch, the more accurate. if you keep it on your arm, the human body is a pretty steady temperature, so that keeps it more accurate. If you take it off, and leave it on a window sill it will be less accuraste.

      • idonotknowwhy on 02/11/2018 - 15:53

        Thanks. Is there something cheap with an accuracy of about +/-1s per month (without sync) ?

        • PJC on 02/11/2018 - 19:13

          That would be pushing it, even for quartz.

  • limucat on 15/10/2018 - 23:38

  • Jared17 on 16/10/2018 - 04:57

    sorry but what does positive/negative display mean here?

    • terrys on 16/10/2018 - 08:28
      +5

      The traditional way of displaying the time on an LCD watch is that the polarisation of the crystal that form the numbers/letters changes so they appeared dark on a light back-ground. The "negative" display has them as light on a dark background, as you will notice on the linked videos. This can be harder to read in bright light or from an angle.

      • Jared17 on 16/10/2018 - 09:12

        That makes sense thanks.

      • PJC on 16/10/2018 - 12:14

    Anyone else who ordered the SKMEI get an email with "Hey we were just about to dispatch this and realised we don't have any stock" email from them?

    • leonhart83 on 18/10/2018 - 15:45

      Yeah I just got the same message. This seems to be quite a common occurrence lately. There is essentially no negatives to overselling items.

      • beefsandwich on 18/10/2018 - 18:21

        Especially when they encourage you to just pick one of their other items. It’s tempting when you have already paid, so you get sucked in by a deal and then end up buying something else.

    • ausbob71 on 21/10/2018 - 19:43

      Yeah I got the same message they wanted me to get another sanda but I don't really need 2 of them.

  • beefsandwich on 01/11/2018 - 15:27

    So after getting the run around from the eBay seller I bought an 1155 from AliExpress, and what a beast of a watch! I've had a few Ali watches over the years and all have been pretty lacking in quality, but this one is in another league - far better.
    The warnings about it being big are right, it's a monster.

    Thanks OP.
