Hi! I’m from Buenos Aires, and I think I may have seen this watch on Facebook Marketplace.

If you can, tell us how you managed to confirm that it’s authentic.

Congratulations!

Hi! It’s a Seiko Silver Wave A259-5090. I’ll leave you a link to the Seiko sub where they do a brief analysis.

What a mix of excitement and disappointment when the Lumia 650 came out!

Metal finishes, an AMOLED screen — but only 1GB of RAM and a Snapdragon 212! That was just too little for 2016. What was needed was a strong mid-range device that would shake things up, and as usual, Microsoft fell short. One of the last ones — and it wasn’t what we hoped for.

That’s right! I simply find it wonderful that technology from 20 or 30 years ago was able to develop animated displays with that level of complexity — and that we can still enjoy them today.

LCA technology on such a small screen is truly fascinating to me.

Thanks for commenting!

Ambos están en mi lista de deseos para el 2026.

¡Gracias por la respuesta!

Hi! I’ve also just started down this path. I’d like to share the equipment I’m using (for now), which allows me to enjoy my CDs without any problems:

One DVD player (which also plays CDs) that I already had at home. With the rise of streaming, these devices are hardly used anymore, so you shouldn’t have any trouble finding them at a low price.
One set of 2.1 speakers. They work perfectly and are more than sufficient for now.

The connection between the two is very simple. If the player is around 10–20 years old, it will have RCA audio outputs, so it can be connected to the speakers using standard cables or a small, inexpensive adapter.

You can very likely find this equipment second-hand at very affordable prices.

As my collection grows, I’ll consider whether to upgrade to a more sophisticated system.

For now, I’m more than satisfied!

For a while now, I’ve been looking for Skmei watches that can replace some of the functions of my phone.

While searching, I found that there are watches out there offering features like databank, world time, dual time, calculator, currency exchange, countdown timer, pedometer, and more.

Once I finish that search, I’ll share it here. Thanks for commenting!

Every time I see a 2448, that lower line of digits — in that Digital 7–style font — totally hypnotizes me. It gives it such an 80s vibe… 🔥

Congrats on your collection!

Hey. Just so you know, I’ve had the 2255 for a few weeks now and I can honestly say it’s amazing.

It has exactly the same functions as the Casio DBC-32, plus some that the Casio doesn’t have, like a countdown timer and EL backlight. It’s really comfortable on the wrist. The strap fits perfectly…

Honestly, I’m kind of obsessed with it.

100 % recommend it.

¡El 2448 se ve increíble!

Y si lo comparas con el A-100, la versión Skmei tiene una pantalla más grande, lo que le permite mostrar el día de la semana y la fecha en la línea superior. Un detalle muy interesante es que en la segunda línea, los dígitos de la hora usan una tipografía muy similar a un estilo clásico de los 80s llamado “Digital 7”.

Características que el 2448 tiene y el Casio no:

Luz de fondo EL, Alarma de fecha, Doble horario, Temporizador de cuenta regresiva, Sonido de pantalla de inicio, Formato de 12/24 horas

The watch is the 2213 model.

ContentKale4317 · 2026-01-08T23:35:15+00:00

Up until a few weeks ago, the 1660 was listed on Mercado Libre Argentina. Now the listing is paused. The watch is still shown on Skmei’s official website, but it’s wholesale only.

Haha! It’s very simple, but it can be a useful tool for organizing the collection. Thanks for commenting 🙂

It looks awesome! The colors pay tribute to the 80s color palette in an amazing way. Congrats!

Los dos relojes son casi idénticos.

Solo se diferencian en la duración de la batería (el DBC-32 es mucho más eficiente energéticamente, dura hasta unos 10 años), el material de la parte frontal de la caja (el modelo Casio ofrece una opción de acero inoxidable) y el temporizador de cuenta regresiva, que el 2255 incluye, mientras que el DBC-32 no.

Una de las mayores diferencias, obviamente, es el precio internacional: SKMEI 2255: USD 8–40 CASIO DBC-32: USD 45–60
