⚠️ My Experience with Animota.net – NOT RECOMMENDED ⚠️
I ordered a G-SHOCK GWF-A1000-1AJF from animota.net, advertised as "brand new." However, what I received raised serious concerns:
The watch arrived without a single document – no instruction manual, no warranty card, no Casio inserts, nothing except the watch and its box.
This is not standard for a brand-new Casio G-Shock, especially a model in this price range.
While the watch itself appeared unused, the absence of proper documentation suggests it may be a display model or an open-box unit.
I paid 680€ + 220€ tax for that watch.
When I contacted their customer service, they:
Offered a 2,000 JPY refund (~€12) as a goodwill gesture, which is completely inadequate.
Refused my request for a more appropriate compensation (10,000 JPY) and closed the issue, saying they "couldn’t do more."
Their attitude was essentially:
“The item is new because we say so. No further help will be provided.”
👉 Be extremely cautious if you plan to purchase high-value items from Animota.net.
