Very strange. Do the sensors work correctly?

It looks real but if the internals are wrong it's gotta be fake. The fakes are getting better all the time.

How big is the LED?

 

Opened my exact same model, and it looks like this on the inside:

 

Manual and web page spec say

• Battery: SR927W x 2

 

sorry to tell you, you got a fake

 

Yeah, I never would have guessed from looking at it though. I've worn occasionally over the past couple of years and never suspected anything at all. Like I say the module works exactly as it should do in terms of settings and functions (possibly the compass and thermometer might be a little bit off but they are definitely doing something).

But what I don't get though is this, how can the counterfeiters make a watch that is so similar to the original in terms of the module and programming (if that of the right word for it)? I get how they could mould a fake strap and make a çlone of the case, hands, etc, but how do they get the module to act the same? Are they using the same components from the factory as Casio?

Really sad to see these losers making fake watches and making real watch enthusiast life miserable. Me always buy from AR via retail, although more expensive.

Buying online, have to pay custom and taxes, which ended up about the same as retail.

It's fake mate! You can tell from the Indicator off what mode your in! It's flat it should be raised up more. Plus the battery is a dead giveaway. Mine like others has two batteries inside.
