Here's a Skmei watch from 4 years ago which is still one of their bestsellers even though it has been superseded several times with module upgrades featuring step counters, a compass, and other smart watch things which nobody ever uses.
Originally it came on a lovely 22mm black rubber strap that I took off to use on another watch. I can't remember which watch it was and can't be bothered to look for it to swap it back again, but I still have it somewhere. So now this Skmei is on a cheap Bond nato because that works too.
Talking of cheap, this Skmei 1426 was less than £10 and still is. You can buy a different one with a silver bezel and a negative display, or a similar cased model with a ton of extra features for double the price, but to be honest, this model should have enough features for anyone.
The Skmei 1426 is a very accurate watch and very well made. The plastic is good and thick, and while this is no G-Shock, it should survive a bit of rough treatment. The plastic crystal might scratch and break if it takes a direct hit, but it's recessed enough into the case that laying the watch face down isn't likely to mark it.
It's a big watch with a 47mm diameter and is thick with it at 15mm. It's no surprise that it's powered by a CR2032. With a nato underneath, it becomes really thick and certainly has some presence to make up for how bland it is.
Where the 1426 excels is in its features. No, not its massive big face which is completely sterile and doesn't even say "Skmei" on it, but in the things it can do. This could be a bit of a "Casio Killer" if you compare it to the AE-1500W or the Casio becomes unavailable.
Unfortunately, although it may also look like an older Garmin or Suunto to some extent, it only has the basic functions of a normal digital watch. But they are the basics which you should always expect including essentials such as a stopwatch, alarm, dual time, and a countdown timer. Having a timer is fantastic!
It also has the standard Skmei EL backlight, and claims 50m water resistance. I have tested mine in water, and it passed, but I haven't been 50m underwater to confirm it any further.
Sadly, it has a fake pusher at 3 o'clock due to this model being a downgrade from another Skmei (1511 or 1512 smart watch) which uses the same case. Some might call Skmei frugal for doing this to use up extra cases or something, but it's all about selling cheaper models in places where many people can't afford the more expensive ones, so actually they are probably being a bit greedy.
If you have money, even only a little bit of money, Skmei wants you to spend it on their products. The fact that Skmei homages nearly everything they see and makes their own modules to fill cases without caring too much if they'll do what the originals do is another story. If you need a cheap watch with a big display, Skmei has you covered.
