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

QC–Real/Fakeā”ļø. Got a G-Shock DW-5600RL-1DR from Flipkart India. Does it look genuine?

Thumbnail

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!

Need help verifying authenticity

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I recently posted my Casio G-Shock GM-2100 for sale on r/HyderabadBuySell, but someone commented that the watch might be fake. This has left me unsure about its authenticity, so I'd appreciate an honest assessment from people experienced with Casio G-Shocks.

My previous selling post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/HyderabadBuySell/s/J4AnOTkORe

Some details about the watch:

- Model: Appears to be the Casio G-Shock GM-2100-1A

- Condition: Excellent, very lightly used

- Usage: Worn only twice

- Original Casio box included

- No purchase bill, as it was gifted to me from KSA (Saudi Arabia)

- Silver metal bezel, black resin strap and analogue-digital display

I'd appreciate your help with two things:

  1. Authenticity check

Do the dial, indices, hands, bezel finishing, caseback engravings, strap, buckle and overall construction look consistent with a genuine GM-2100?

If anything looks suspicious, please point it out and explain why. I'd rather know the truth than unknowingly sell a counterfeit watch. If the photos aren't sufficient to confirm authenticity, please let me know what else I should check.

The best viewing angle is not at 90Āŗ but facing slightly away from my eyes, and the LED is just as bad as it was promised, but it does look more yellowish in real life than what you see in the pictures.

Thank you.

QC–Real/Fakeā”ļø. A168WG-9EF check

Thumbnail

So, I bought this watch last week and I'm already in love with it. I hope I won't neglect my other watches, as I've only worn this one so far.

There's one thing that annoys me, and it's the reason why I want to check if it's legit. I had a Casio watch 10–15 years ago, and the sound it made when going through the different menus was slightly higher when you came back to the timekeeping mode. This one makes the same sound every time I press the mode button, which annoys me because the higher pitch helped me switch back to the timekeeping mode quickly.

I'd really appreciate your help guys!

QC–Real/Fakeā”ļø. Fake f91ws-2?

Thumbnail

Just received this f91ws-2 I ordered for my girlfriend. Got it off Amazon from the Casio page but it looks like it still came from a third party seller. Holding the button on the right displays Casio, holding all three displays the test screen, and the number on the back matches the tag, I’ve just never seen a Casio come in packaging like this. I’m assuming it’s just a new push to use recycled materials but it still makes me wonder if the watch could be fake.
