First off, I gotta say, the Casio LTP-V007 seems to be the reigning champ in this dupe game. I’ve seen it EVERYWHERE. It’s got that rectangular face, that clean, minimalist style – basically, all the hallmarks of a Tank but without the, uh, *significant* price tag. You can snag one for like, what, twenty bucks? Thirty? A steal, honestly. I even saw one on IG from Inshop.ph2, pretty snazzy.
Now, I’ve also been hearing whispers about the Casio LTP B165L. Apparently, the size is *perfect* for replicating the Tank vibe, which is crucial, right? You don’t want something that’s gonna look like a brick on your wrist. But… and this is a big but… people are complaining about the color options. Like, seriously, Casio, what were you thinking? I feel that, though. Sometimes it’s like, almost perfect, but then BAM, weird color choices ruin everything. Why can’t they just make it simple?!
Then there’s the Meesho Casio Vintage Watch. I saw a review of it, and it seems promising. It’s got that vintage feel, which is cool, and supposedly combines classic design with modern functionality. So, a good option if you’re into the whole “vintage” aesthetic.
And look, I get it, people want that luxury feel without the luxury price. It’s not just the Tank, either. I saw something about Panthère de Cartier dupes too! And it’s not just Casio doing it, this article mentioned some other brands too.
Personally, I used to kinda turn my nose up at Casio (oops, sorry Casio!), but then I found this Tank-esque one. It was my first silver watch, and I was surprised at how much I liked it. It’s super understated, goes with everything, and doesn’t scream “I’m trying too hard.”
