    If anyone is looking for a sub AU$10 digital watch I could recommend the SKMEI 1025, two of them lasted me well over 10 years (only got rid of the first one because the band broke, still worked fine.

    Haven't tested it at depth, but I keep it on while working with saltwater, or elbow-deep in dirty irrigation pits, no issues yet other than scratches on the face.

    best price I can find at the moment is US $5.75 + us$2 shipping (free over us$10 order of Choice items)

      Skmei are awesome, here is my Skmei 1134. I'd probably get the slightly smaller Skmei 1628 next time.

      • dangerdanger on 18/01/2024 - 00:26

        I'm interested in the smaller one. Is it equivalent to the Baby G (which I would prefer).

        • WatchNerd on 18/01/2024 - 00:34

          Specs are in the pics but it basically the same size as the Casio G-Shock DW5600 as you can see in this video the Casio bezel will fit.

          • dangerdanger on 18/01/2024 - 00:37

            @WatchNerd: Drat. Do you know of any SKMEI that is closer to the Baby G?
            Also keen for any smaller field watches.

            • WatchNerd on 20/01/2024 - 10:55

              @dangerdanger: No I don't but G-Shocks are meant to be worn big so it will be fine.

              I've seen girls with tiny wrists wearing even bigger G-Shocks.

      Thanks for contributing something useful! There's a few clowns about tonight, but then again this is a fun kinda watch.

      I also choose Skmei for outdoor activites, and it's been a great value choice. Around $10 I think, from an old OzB deal.

        Can't imagine why anyone would want to wear a diver style watch that isn't waterproof lol. They only look like that as the design is made for withstanding depth so it has all the ugly of dive with none of the function. Oh well, each to their own

    The word "Diver" is used together with the word "Style" to describe this item. So obviously no diving is recommended with it.
    I am testing one of these since Christmas time. Just needed a really cheap something to time myself at some tasks at work.
    The time keeping is perfect. Compared to the "Atomic Clock" app the watch is loosing so far about 45 seconds after 3 weeks.
    For the price I can't think of anything more to ask from this watch. Just wear it until falls apart and then buy another one. Simples!

          Everytime i go to that site it fks up my AliExpress browser (PC) and everything in Vietnamese.. the settings don't work properly either so I'll give that store a miss. They are all the same anyway I think. The Barton canvas ones are good, should be some cheapies around of those too.

              Accumulating a few straps, but these are different and cheap enough.

              They aren't exactly the same if you look at the Strapcode pic, but close enough for the price and a pretty safe buy.

              Good to see quality brushed buckles lately, those SD waffle straps had shitty cheap thin ones.
              I think I like Natos but two-piece for canvas and textured straps like the first one ;).

Pretty good watch for $400 though. I think the green one's nicer but that's an extra hundred.

                      Yes, 14 day delivery sounds good but I may order it again just to save on postage for one or two more straps.

    There's a lesson here. The lesson is that modern technologies and the factory system can produce large quantities of an item very cheaply. Unfortunately for us, what usually happens is that the producer and/or distributor and/or retailer whack anything from a 50% to a 2000% markup on these cheaply produced goods. This isn't the case here.

    I've also been of the opinion that governments should limit how much markup can be applied to goods, and should force retailers to disclose markups on each product so we know exactly how much they are ripping us off by. People would be very angry if they knew. Anger is good, anger gets things done (as a charcter, Mr anansi, said in American Gods).

    • G-rig on 18/01/2024 - 21:23

      Ha, what are you comparing it to, a $500 Seiko at Myer?

      You left out the economies of scale/the population, sweat shops, the fact it isn't made to last and will go to landfill pretty quickly. No need to get angry, most people know what things are worth and or are happy to pay it anyway.

      Is is still amazing how cheap they can make stuff and ship it from China, even if most of it is crap.

      • Thaal Sinestro on 19/01/2024 - 09:23

        This $10 watch does exactly the same thing as a $500 watch or a $10,000 Rolex. I agree with you, it will likely not last as long as a more expensive watch, but still $10 every 5 years is a bargain compared to $500 every 20 years. The same story with a $5 K'Mart tshirt vs a $250 designer tshirt; they fulfill exactly the same function, covering up one's torso.

        Personally, I wish I could purchase everything directly from the manufacturer and not get ripped off by distributors and retailers. Some companies sell things directly online but you have to purchase in bulk quantities (10 or more items).

        Unlike you, I'm not happy about having to pay a 500% markup for items that were produced at a very low per unit cost. I'm not exactly sure how much a $500 Seiko watch would cost to produce, but I suspect it is no more than $25.

          Just get whatever you are happy with.
          In reality you probably don't need one at all if you got a phone.

          You're describing everything. A corolla is the same as a Ferrari. People can get whatever they want.

          Not suggesting pay retail or more than your budget permits, there are unlimited options for $100-300 if you wanted something half decent. Very easy to get 40-50% off if you keep an eye on deals here. Forgot it's Ozbargain, tightest of the tight!

            @G-rig: See, that's me. Inflation is excluded from consideration on what constitutes a "bargain" for me. I snagged a ladies Eco drive for under $100 last year (~$93) thanks to this comment by Franco Cozzo.

            So a new value bar was set. Logically I know it's unlikely to be approached, much less beaten. And yet, the relentless bargain hunter in me takes some reining-in and self-flagellation before I relent and accept the current "deal".

              @Speckled Jim: Cool. No shortage of great deals all year round, for quality stuff ;).
