Can't go wrong with Casio. I'm wearing my AE-1200 right now! Love this little beast. Super easy to set up. Super easy to push the buttons. Great little light. As a kid of the 80's, it's a match made in heaven.
same here except the band is not long-lasting. mine broke after 2 years of 24/7/365 wear in a work from home setting. so i upgraded to a gw-m5610u but is miss the easy to push buttons.
When I was injured and couldn't move, this is the only watch I could wear. I used it to time daily tasks and it stayed on as I slept. It will never leave the collection now.
I bought the bracelet one about 15 years ago. Still have it. One thing I appreciated was the three additional time zones, which let me keep track of time in my parents' home as well as UTC and whatever destination I needed to plan for (I usually wind up flying multiple stops).
Agree 100%! My only digital watch is the Casio AE-1200 and does everything one could want in terms of functions and being a GADA watch. It serves as the worldtimer in my collection - and has thus far kept me from picking up a mechanical GMT.
Great video!
I have a AE-1200WH-1AV, and it's a perfect watch for me. It has almost all the functions a watch can have, I also love the design, gives me 80s vibes.
I've had the all black version for a while. There have been other reviews on this Casio, your review is the best by far. Thank you Russ.
Great watch and great review! Congrats on the 50k subscribers too!!! Well deserved!
I love this watch for so many reasons! I haven’t had a digital watch in many, many years and I thought it would be difficult to set up. It took a little getting used to, but once I took the time to read the manual it was so much fun setting up. Just so much fun for everyday use. I thought it would look small on my wrist, but it’s perfect. Great review!
I love this watch so much. More features than you need, battery life forever, fun aesthetic, amazing visibility and legibility. I’ve got it on a vario leather strap and modded with the SKX polished steel case and sapphire crystal and it’s my go to watch. Can’t hype it up enough, amazing.
I have a AE-1000W - my first Casio watch! Had it over 10 years (just replaced the battery), and they still sell it today. It just works, the world time is really cool (I love the world map) and using functions like the stop watch is really simple. About the scratches and scuffs - honestly doesn't look barely used even though it's been worn many times.
I got mine in 2015 I work in construction and believe me I’ve beaten it pretty good over the years, the paint on the resin is gone lots of scratches everywhere but stills works and also has the original battery. Two moth ago Amazon had it for $22.00 I bought it to keep it as a spare one. Thanks I love this watch. Greetings from America.
Great review, thanks! I own the Casio G-Shock 5610 (JDM model) known as the "black & blue". It's solar powered, has 200m water resistance, and is based on the original G-Shock "square" from the '80s. It's my personal favorite and the only quartz watch in my collection.
My stainless steel AE1200 is one of my "go to" bedtime watches. The light button is so easy to find in the middle of the night if I wake up- the orange light is just right. My wife says, simply- " it looks fun". And MWC, it was your love of Casio that led me to an appreciation of Casio's too. Thanks mate.
I'm the same. Got one with the stainless steel bracelet, (which is janky as feck). I wear it to bed for the same reason. Great watch. 👍
Mate, you are a legend! Thanks for the Argos tip, I’ve finally got an AE1200! Absolutely loving it!
Excellent vid as always. I love mine, got it on the metal bracelet but intending on getting a resin version too.
I just found your channel and Thank you! I just bought my 1st Casio ! I wanted a watch that tells time / date and that is stylish to me, I didn’t want a smart watch, I hate charging every night. Love the channel!
I own AE1200 with steel/metal bracelet since 2017 and it’s still working fine.
Just picked up a Seiko Skyliner 6100-8000 no date. On bracelet. From Japan for £230
I know it's not as value as Casio, but if people want a lovely dress watch which has some classic looks vintage Seiko , Grand Seiko, King Seiko is definitely where it's at.....I won't afford a Rolex or the Omega I want for several years so Casio and Seiko... THANK YOU
Imho the best Casio watch is W800 😄 It has 10 year battery, bunch of functions, is just the right size for 90% of people, has an amazing display, 100m WR and an amazing backlight.
I had 2 and on both the sound was gone in 3 months or so. Bummer
100% agree. I’ve owned this watch for a few years as my work watch and it’s awesome. All the robustness of a G-Shock in a much better size. For $20-$30 you really can’t beat it. I’ve tried a ton of different Casios under $50 and they all have under 100m water resistance, weak light and/or poor display.
@@Robin6512 Who the hell cares about the sound? 😄
@@brett233 Exactly. W800 is the only watch of this size with 100m WR, at least here where I live. Also, all other 100m WR models are bigger than W800. Its just a better version of F91 imho 😄
@@predragjo5977 agreed! I find the F91W to be really small even on my small wrist. The W800 is the perfect size!
I have 3. The one I am wearing right now, with Jays and Kays adapter and a 22mm marine nationale strap, my black one with an aftermarket "combi" bracelet, and the SKXMOD all stainless steel one. Love them all.
I have the silver one that came on the resin strap. Removed the wording on top and bottom of the bezel, removed the text indicating 10 year battery, threw a vario leather strap on it. And it is truly fantastic
Great video. Just so happened to watch it while wearing my AE-1200! Absolutely love it for travel. I move around a lot for work and need to keep track of multiple time zones, this watch does it all. I own several automatic watches with GMT functions, but I always reach out to my AE-1200 whenever I head off to the airport!
I just bought one for myself yesterday! And one for my brother in law who is also a watch enthusiast! I love it!!!!❤
This baby is the one that got me started on wristwatches, mine is the classic colorway just like the one you opened up here. Still by far, my top favorite Casio overall. The functions are great, easy as hell to use even with all those functions, it looks dope, and even the light is decent despite not being that sweet Electro Luminescence (granted, if it was, then it wouldn't have a 10yr life). In time, I'll be applying an SKXMod case to it get that stainless steel heft which might seem odd for what's a budget watch but I really want to beef it up for as many years as possible (and I'll keep the original body for sentiments sake). LOVE this watch.
I bought a black ae 1200, but soon captivated by the ae 1300. The dot matrix day/mode display is the reason why. Looks much better than the 1200, except for the 3 barely useful dw 6900 esque second markers. But really not a deal breaker for me. The stop watch is awesome, the sports timer functions are surprisingly useful for daily use.
Been avoiding one of these, but you make it seem more fun than other folks have. Seriously reconsidering having another look
I have bought this ae 1200 recently and its really amazing, used to switch and play with time zones
I happen to be wearing my black resin AE1200 now. I love this watch. Its been in the ocean and pools and still looks like new. Also my favorite backlight from Casio
Fun fact: the AE-1200 is related to the DW-291, which is a 200m water resist budget alternative to a G-Shock; their modules and cases are interchangeable, and the DW-291 module is essentially a re-organized AE-1200 without the world map. The AE-1300 also uses the same form factor but does not share world time function with the other two.
Hmmm - thanks - maybe try a DW-291 in my steel case to get the slightly larger time digits for my old eyes.
@@MrModcat You wouldn't be the first!
Love your reviews. :-) I’ve only got 3 Casio’s so clearly need to try harder.
I just love this watch! I have 3 of them and modded all 3 lol. Love the ‘watch the wife thinks’. On that note, I am going to wear one of my modded ones this morning. Thanks Russ!
I just ordered it, along with some screen protectors and vario straps, can't wait!!
I proudly own 3 versions of this masterpiece❤ Casio should consider an updated special edition with all the top tier Casio finishes.
Love the AE1200. Love rapidly switching between the chosen timezones
I love my Casio Royale! I have the silver versiom on thejingly jangly as well, awesome little watch!
It’ll be modded next!!!!
hahah - love the review as always and definitely want one. Just waiting for the tennis lessons now 🙂
Love it. Great show. Cheers 👍👍
Thanks Jim!!
I have 3 of the Royales. I even got an SKXMOD set and updated to a full metal case and bracelet. Great watch.
Yep! This is a must have for all Casio freaks. I'm wearing mine with steel bracelet on sundays and special occasions and right now while I'm watching this video. It's just unique and something special. Like no other watch, one of a kind.
Hahahahaha love it my friend!
It's the watch I keep in my travel bag, made a fantastic makeshift alarm clock a few holidays back when my phone decided to stop working. Just a great watch witch ticks all the boxes for travelling.
Thank you my friend!
you did great on this video. I will go see this at my local store!!
I've got 2 Casio Royales - one on stainless bracelet, one on resin strap. They are the best bang for the buck watches you can buy. I used the resin strap one as my travel watch last summer - it worked amazingly well as a travel watch, was very comfortable in the heat and humidity and can be easily set to display two time zones, which made tracking home time a piece of cake.
Love a good Casio video from MWC. It keeps me grounded in a world where everyone wants a bloody Rolex!
Keep the content coming, lad 😊👍
Not yet seen a Rolex I like the look of even if I could afford one...which I certainly can't.
Can't argue with this one. Good video. 💪
I am delighted to see this one Russell. Totally agree. Of all my watches this is the one I wear when traveling on business across time zones from Istanbul to Jakarta regularly. It's by far the best world timer, by far the lightest, by far the least troublesome as you don't even need to take it off going through the airport metal detector. I have the one with the green world map just to give it a bit of colour. Great video!!
That’s awesome Brian!!! Thank you!
Great review, great watch
I just bought the all-stainless steel version of this AE back in August, for a mere $28. With it's features and looks, it's a no brainer daily driver watch and super dirt cheap for sure!
Had that one for many years, such a cool looking watch
Very good. Very funny, and informative. I love my AE 1200 WH, it's the cool bees knees . . . and yes, submarine sonar type thingy 🙂
I can't believe it... I legit ordered one the day before yesterday, should be in by tomorrow!
Been looking at some modding kits too, but not sure yet if I'm going that way.
Totally agree, the best for money
Great video
I bought my 16 year old son the model with the steel bracelet for Christmas a few years ago. I borrow it from time to time. 😉
You simply can't go wrong with it. Everything you need, nothing you don't. $30 dollars at Walmart. Greetings from New York's Hudson Valley.👍🏽✌🏽
I also have 2 AE-1200’s-what a great watch!!
I have to agree! Nice!!
I have the gold one as well. Great watch!
So, i bought one of these about a year ago and fell in love. Very lightweight, waterproof enough, and just went with every outfit. I customized it juuuuust perfect, then lost it lol. Just got my new one, took off the excessive labeling, and keeping the rest stock. Don't be precious about it, don't guild the lily, it's a perfect watch right out of the box.
I finally picked up an AE1200 a few weeks ago. It was on sale for $20. I was on the fence about the looks until I saw it in person. I really love it except the strap so I picked up a set of Jay's and Kay's adapters so I can use my 22mm straps.
Thanks again for a great video. Oddly enough, I have both versions that you have in my "Save For Later" list on my Amazon, but I've never bitten the bullet and bought one! I just need to shut up and do it already! 😳
Yep, a great timepiece indeed. I recently acquired the silver version with the stainless steel bracelet. I've since modded it with a kit from SKXMod. Next level now. Great video as always 👍
I got the stainless steel one last year its great I wear it to work nice and light and fits perfectly cheap as chips
The golden one started my watch collection. I also have the all black one and the silver one but took the bracelet off and put a black strap on it.they are fun but very functional watches.i have 21 watches so far and 8 of them are Casios🎉
I have to say, I absolutely love mine, used to use it as a barman on the weekends back in the day. It is sambuca and beer proof not just water…!
Have owned the silver on the bracelet for around 8yrs, still original battery and I’ve recently swapped out the bracelet for the resin band from my w86 ! More comfortable on wrist.
Just bought the SS bracelet version.. loving it on my 7.5 inch wrist..
Love the video
I have one of the same model / color
😊😊
Fully agree! I'm curious on your opinion about upgrade it with a SKXMod case. Is it worth the almost 100$ extra price?
Another top-quality and entertaining TMWC video! Keep it up pal.
Love my #octopussywatch, but the world time function on the AE1300 is more practical than attempting to read the time on that little analog dial on the AE1200…but I never leave my time zone so I guess that’s all irrelevant 😂
The best Casio there is ! Love your wife’s comment on your Watch collection. Keep up the great TH-cam videos big fan Alex from N.J. USA
I love mine. Had it for a couple of years. When people see it, they say…’Ooh… very retro’.
Don’t know why…
All the best Russ.👍🏾🇬🇧
Superb watch 🙌
I have this exact model and color, and it is one,of my favorites
I have the bracelet version of this watch as well and I love it!! Easily the best Casio in the price band
…..the ‘madman’ talked me into snagging one 🍻 relieved my black resin 1200 today 4/2/24 and it’s no disappointment. Removed my heavy daily wear diver and strapped this gem on. So light it feels cheap but the ‘coolness’. Subbed and 👍 cheers
I have the steel bracelet version, which I slightly modded by removing the text from the case. It looks a lot better now, and I still wear it a fair bit. You definitely get a lot for your money with this one.
Part of me really understands the modding...part of me screams "why would you do that to a classic?" 😂
I have that exact model Casio. I love it. Brings me back to 1984. Great watch.
Wonderful show again. ... ok you encouraged me to buy also a second one.
Do it!!!;)
I changed mine to a leather strap and now it looks premium!
Plenty of Casio freaks out there, but to be fair, no one's quite like you, Russ. ;)
I have the black resin one and it's arguably the only watch I need, but I'm a bit ashamed to say it's the only one of my Casio's I haven't used after I took it off when I bought it 3 years ago. Luckily I still have some time left of the 10 year battery lifetime, lol
Great show as always, and keep up the amazing content!
Got to buy one of these!..❤❤❤❤
I can confirm you can use it for deep swimming. It's always in my holiday watch case.
By the way, a HUGE congrats on hitting 50K! The trick to getting to 100K is simply you being you my friend 😊
Ok, now this is next on my list b/c of you (convincing are ya!?!) But I can’t say you’re having me spend money I don’t have, right? 😅
… and that unboxing was EPIC 😂
Thanks for sharing.
Cracking review of a super little watch, Russ. Tremendous value for money and funky design. Well worth £30 of anybody's money. Do I own one? No. Do I want one now? F*** yeah haha
I got the green one but i replaced the insides with AE-1300, now i have a lovely green color exterior with pinch of yellow on display
I have one in my watch collection my watch has been upgraded to full steel, - its was a great watch before but it is totally awesome now ..
I love this watch, mine is the one on the bracelet, I find you always know where your wrist is when wearing it as it has that characteristic sound to it. I still have one of the Seiko models but with a different case shape from Mr Bond's circus outing that must be nigh on 40 year old and it still works today, the buttons have gone a tad spongy though.
I really want that Sport 100!!!
I just received my new watch today it’s a 1975 automatic Timex silver with a leather crocodile band🤙it’s nice good review
Awesome!!!!
I love my Royale, er, I mean my AE-1200!
Great vacation watch, I set the different time zones ahead of time and I'm all set. Can even go swimming/snorkeling with it!
I have one on stainless steel bracelet($30)… and I have had all the others at some point, and give them away as gifts… Always a go to at Christmas time/birthdays/graduation
Love my ROYALE!! Sorry Russ had too!! Lol. Great vid bro!!
I have 3 standard AE1200’s and one I’ve modified 😂 love them!
Nikolai, I’m literally wearing this watch right now. Granted the black resin version. But I will agree out of all the Casio watches I’ve ever owned. This is the best value for money. And I will be getting the steel bracelet version soon.
I just got this today.
Plus ordered a different version and some leather straps for a custom version.
I just got this watch and i'm astonished how great it is for the price (i've paid $35) absolutely loving it, my 6x more expensive Edifice landed in a shelf.
I haven't got any Casio's in My (Tiny) collection, I really want to pick up a couple of the Casioaks.. they've really caught My eye.
Up there with my favorite watches. It’s a fun one to look at on your wrist, throughout the day. I have several versions, but the gold/bronze and black is my OG and very comfy :)
Thank you my friend!
Definitely one of my favorites. 😊🤙🏽 That square shape lays so nice on the wrist too.
This is my first ever square watch and first Casio less than 2 weeks ago. Own few G-Shock but all are round shapes, and bulky.
Agree this is best value for money Casio, as a quartz ultimate GMT watch. It is useful for me as Caller GMT and even as Traveler GMT.
It has actually 5 time zones including the world time mode that I can click to look at while knowing my home time. Handy when I communicate with my office and customers of various cities.
Love the world map and circular home time (wish it is easier to distinguish between the minute and hour hands).
Just pushing the top 2 buttons I can instantly change the other time zone including the one at world time mode to become my new home time when I travel to that new city.
Another bonus is the illuminator light is still on even when I press other buttons, unlike my G-Shock watches.
I've owned and worn mine for over a year. There are some scratches, but you know, that's all part of the "character" of the watch. It's mine, it's part of my personal history and it is isn't a $20000 watch that will sell for a fortune in the future. I actually remember where, when, why and how some of those scratches were made. That's priceless.
I think i have them also , i will have a rummage ........yep the steel one and the all black one lol , and perfect with our 6.5 inch wrist! i might have to get your bronze colour one now ! As ever matey your videos are superb, keep it up son!
Thank you my friend! Yeah! Treat yourself!
Wear mine in straight black. Love it.
