The idea behind these is to improve a watch that has much more value than Casio prices it. Rather than think of it as tacking on $X amount onto a $30 watch. You're buying the parts to make a $X watch that has a $30 movment
I just did a review on the SKXMOD Casio kit and it really elevates the watch big time. I also added a leather strap from Vario as well as a lug adaptor kit.
@@BraveBeaters indeed, they probably calculate in ideal conditions .. i.e. perfect battery, fully charged and with the lowest power consuming function (i.e. no backlight, etc..) ... In real world I would guess you can get somewhere between 6 to 9 years... I think temperature also affects batteries discharge rate, etc... so I guess it would also depend on where, as well as how, you wear it.. (note: even when not in use... batteries continuously discharge to atmosphere..)
I've just bought and am waiting for mod kit to arrive because this watch takes lithium instead of alkaline batteries which won't discharge so I paid for mod because I want to turn a good watch into a fantastic watch but it's personal choice
In octopussy Bond wore a Seiko. As for casio royale, there are fake adverts with Bond sitting on the poker table with a photoshoped worldtimer on the wrist. :)
@@BraveBeaters yes, you are correct... however, as far as I am aware, that Seiko is no longer produced and that is the watch that inspired the "Casio Royale"
woah what is that tablet? It looks like something that can be useful to me @.@ Can you make a review of the drawing tablet that you used in this video?
can't see the very art nouveau style of the elves working with a square 70s inspired watch, could see it working with the black obsidian of orthanc or the angular architecture used by the Dwarves though
Awesome! I love that a $30 watch is worth putting $150 into. It really is. Great work! I love the artwork.
The prices of some of those mod parts are ridiculous the whole point of modding these was low cost.
Ikr

@@ihavekalashnikovyoudomath9275I mean at that point, you can just buy the module from somewhere else for cheaper,then get the skxmod
Mods are never cheap. Have you seen a modded sports car cheaper than it’s original retail price?😅
The base model is low cost, leading to these getting modded like this.
The love is strong for this watch when the modifications, which clearly is a market for, quadruple the price of the original :)
Woooooooooow, I'm honestly impressed. Looking forward seeing more content like this one. 👌
Coming up :)

When scrolling through my sub feed on UA-cam, I instantly recognize a Brave Beaters video just by the thumbnail! Well done
My brother Andrei with another great video 👏

Great Job I love your work.
Now it's a very tastfull and special watch.. .
❤️
what by chance are you using to do those sketches with?
I'm surprised there isn't some Etsy sellers out there painting these filters.
what are you drawing on?
it is my fourth time watching this video, Great Job 👍 and amazing Creativity ❤️ i wish i could also make one for my ae1200
I want to know what red colouring pen you use ?
Does the battery last really 10 years? Or in which condition of use can last that long?
I guess, in ideal conditions

An analogue watch... or an F105 skxmod would give you more surface area for playing with.

incredible!!! wow!! im gone to ty
the bond movie you are looking for is Octopussy and not Casino Royale despite the watch being called Casio Royale...

You should set your timezone to Middle Earth
Middle Earth looks a lot like Earth...

First! 😂
I'd rather have a vintage dw-5900
tbh the black looks shite.
It looks ugly, like some cheap toy.
Nice idea but nope didn't like that result sorry
It is a rip-off, skx surely paid a lot of money to youtubers since every watch youtuber is talking about this kit.
