I decided to try it in another colourway out of curiosity (again… under $5, so 🤷🏼).
Very clean and highly readable but I think I still prefer the black and yellow.
Again the main motivation for this purchase was the strap. And it is quite nice. Silicone and hence soft. Nice texture on the outside. Lots of holes for air and fine adjustment. Also quick release and small notches on the strap holders, so they do not slip.
As I said, the price was worth it just for the strap (with 'free' watch).
Plus they do this watch and strap in a bunch of colours.
I'm wearing the cheap #Skmei again. I still think this is great deal for less than $5.
Still in sync. Left is my Casio with the time synced automatically over Bluetooth from my phone. On the right is the cheap Skmei that I manually set.
P.S. Don't worry about the upcoming time change. I can flip the hour without adjusting the seconds. 😉
Well I said I'd take a picture outside and I have and yeah, quite readable. However, it is also the grayest day in the world. I'll still need to try again on a day with direct sunlight to really see if the negative LCD still works well enough.
That all said, again for $4 this is pretty good value anyway.
I tried the #Casio ABL-100 on one of the new leather straps I bought. Perhaps hard to see in this light but I think it works.
