🛡 Moderator News Please include clear/close-up photos of your watch submissions so all text is crisp and legible... ...

The r/casio moderator team is attempting to build a resource here for current and future casio enthusiasts. Clearer images help others with the assessment of your watch. Clear images also help future casio fans who may not know what to look for when their own comparisons arise.

Real, Fake, and Quality Control (manufacturing defect) checks were moved from the main r/casio megathread into this r/CasioQC subreddit last year. This was done in an attempt to free up the main feed, and to simultaneously make a central repository for this type of information.

By requiring clear front and back images as a main submission criteria (which has been a long-term rule), you're only increasing your own odds at receiving quick replies from our community experts who enjoy helping in this way. Forgetting or refusing to include these images will result in your submission being removed.

An example of an UNCLEAR image would be this mod shield for example. See how blurry the "r/casioQC" fonts are in the middle of this white shield? That's what we're trying to avoid (i.e. blurry text).

If you have any questions, feel free to comment or reach out via modmail

I have never had cause to doubt before and I bought it off Amazon’s Casio Store, but just reading stuff about the little ‘u’ that they no longer apparently use on new watches, and the Casio stamp on the buckle, made me wonder. I only bought it on August and it has served me well in rotation since. Thoughts and ruling please? 🙏

Sorry if I cannot get better pictures, I bought this watch from a seller with many good reviews on Taobao, but I still wanted to double check. These are photos from the warehouse where it was shipped, since I bought from a proxy service.

A common theme on this thread is that most of the watches are fakes or rare and someone’s just bragging where is a good place to get the black and blue color way of the M5610 if I’m gonna spend over $100 I would like it to be real appreciate the advice

I got this one on eBay and didn't even think that it might not be legit.

It didn't come with any instructions and when I look up the official ones, the buttons don't do exactly the right thing.

Any help is appreciated.

QC–Answered✅️REAL Is my casio f91w-1q from Amazon is real or fack?

9 Upvotes

Everything works f91w-1q, made in Thailand, 07/26.

But, I have some suspicions like amazon.in shows they are selling made in china. The seller is casio.

The package is real to but, it doesn't have the plastic circular shield over the display attached.

Light is like normal f91w, good.

**I have done the number's shadow on tilting test, it doesn't show shadows until bright foreign light refract through it.**

**No. Is 593, D002-018960294 .**

It also have real sound but, I found the buttons hard metal like.

**Color and functionality is also to the point.**

20 sec alarm, 100 percent detailing, no' u' after 2023 , button combo Casio and all three click check combo are as orginal, everything is good. **Warning: One photo also have screen protector on the watch. Tempered Glass or screen protector may be. I add it yesterday. **

I ordered a Casio Edifice EFR-526L-7AVUDF from Flipkart. Whenever I try registering it on https://support.casio.in/register, it gives the error.
Should I be concerned about authenticity and initiate a return on Flipkart before my 7-day window closes? Or is this a glitch with Casio India's portal?

UPDATE: The watch is real! After 5 days the friggin site worked, and I was able to register my watch. Thanks to everyone who tried to help me out!

QC–Real/Fake❔️. Got a G-Shock DW-5600RL-1DR from Flipkart India. Does it look genuine?

Thumbnail

18 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I bought a Casio G-Shock DW-5600RL-1DR on Flipkart, and it was delivered today. Since it's my first time buying a G-Shock, I just want to make sure everything looks legit before I decide to keep it.

Here are the details:

- Model: DW-5600RL-1DR

- Module: 3525

- Warranty: 2 years of Indian manufacturer warranty, as mentioned on the invoice

One thing that seems reassuring is that I registered the watch on the official Casio India website, and the registration was approved. It also shows an additional 183 days of warranty.

I've attached a few pictures of the watch, including the front, sides and case back.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on a few things:

  1. Does everything look right to you, especially the case-back engravings, screws, buttons and dial printing?

  2. How much confidence should I have in the approved Casio warranty registration? Is it a good sign, or can that happen with counterfeit watches too?

  3. Are there any specific things I should check on this model to make sure it's genuine?

  4. Would it be worth taking the watch to an authorised Casio service centre to get it checked?

I'm not saying it's fake or genuine just yet. I just want to be sure I got what I paid for, so I'd really appreciate any help from people who own this model or know G-Shocks well.

Thanks!
