Thanks for your review. I have the black AE-1500 with the positive display. It has by far the biggest digits of any of my Casio watches, including the Pathfinder PAW-2000-1. The display is very sharp with lots of contrast. My sample runs about -3 or -4 seconds per month, which is better than average for my Casios. Another favorite of mine among the larger, inexpensive Casios is the DW-291H, which I believe you've reviewed before. Each has its advantages, which is why I own both.
I have used this watch for 6 month now and it's the best watch I have had and very cheap. Thanks for showing me the alarm function, it's handy. I have the positive display and it's very clear and easy to read
I'm really surprised that this watch is so inexpensive with a ten year battery! I've been looking for a watch with the largest characters. This one will be a good companion for years to come. I was formerly attracted to Timex digitals because they had the larger characters. This Casio has solved my problem. Great review, thank you.
I bought today this watch. And I remembered, I ve seen this video to this model. It ist the best short explanation to the functions. Better as the manual! - Thanks for the video🙏🙂 Greetings from Germany.
I got the gray with negative display version & I love it. I absolutely love big Garmin 6X style watches & Gshocks. My two preferred styles & that being the case this watch is right up my alley. I have a G700UC-8A but wanted a digital Gshock, with all the economic issues lately & my personal financial issues couldn't spare the $80-$90 for the ones I really like so finding this watch at WM for $15 made my day & filled that spot. Great review.
I love this watch. Since I’m getting older, my eyes don’t focus like they once did. Sure would like for Casio to upgrade this watch to a G Shock. Same simple display with huge numbers. Same size. And keep the buttons. Love the buttons. Please Casio! Make this a G shock!!!
I have the khaki version. Great watch. Now, for those like me who find resin straps uncomfortable, you can purchase strap adapters from Jays&Kays. If you are ok with the plastic ones, order the adapters for the AQS810. I had a spare set of the metal 16-22mm adapters for the DW5600 and they fit just fine, just a little wiggle room.
Thanks for the video, i have learned some new info on the timer and alarms. I have the Kakhi version for some 2 years now. On camera and photos the color is a bit lighter than in real world, but i like it very much. Real sturdy watch, got some beating to it and still pretty much like brand new. The display is very, very good, info is crystal clear on it, is a great daily beater, and you get the works - you know, time, date, stopwatch, 5 alarms, timer and dual time as well. The only "downside" for me is the light, which is just ok instead of great, but for the cost of this watch, there's nothing on the market imo as good as this one. Keep it up.
Greg, you described the backlight as amber, but it looks red in the video. If it is red then it won’t disturb night vision. That’s a positive aspect for a number of night time activities, including Astronomy.
Thanks for the review. My previous Casio 10-year battery was still working after 12 years and that was using the light 3-4 times a night. The only reason I replaced it with this AE-1500 was that the case and the stainless steel strap looked truly battered after wearing it at construction sites. My AE-1500 gains just one second a month. My previous Casio gained 1-2 seconds a month. Even the G-Shocks don't come with a 10-year battery and unless you're planning on driving a truck over your watch, this watch will withstand as much a beating as a G-Shock.
Hi Greg, With these old eyes, large displays are appealing! Have you seen the new Casio Climber Line Pro Trek PRG340? Pros: large display, dedicated LIGHT button, articulating lugs allow case and band to lay flat on paper maps, simpler UI than G-Shock, doesn't harvest personal data. While I don't need ABC features (I backpack with a compass), the barometric pressure for altimeter and weather forecasting are appealing. Props for taking the time to produce such a comprehensive review! Keep up the great work! Cheers, ..Mike
I just got this one also in the negative display. Not sure why, but the "crystal" scratched super easily. I didn't even have a chance to give it a workout and it scratched. I've got Casios that have been through hell and back and not a single scratch.
if you can't find anyone selling precut screen protectors, get some 0% car window tints and cut then into shape with some scissors. These cheap watches use resin crystal aka plastic, the gshock line meanwhile uses real glass.
Add text reminders to the alarm settings and you'll almost reinvent the G-2900F. But I'm not sure why this model (as well as AE-3000) has an AE (Analog Electronic) prefix, as there's no analog time LCD subdial here or even the graphs that could substitute it. Maybe someone from Casio could explain?
Dumb question but when does the 10 year battery cycle start? Because whenever I get casio watches they are already on when I open it. So does that mean the watch was already on for a certain period of time cutting into the battery life? Thanks in advance.
thanks for the great review . i like this watch design so much , just don't know why Casio give up the green back ground light which look very decent . i wish the Casio will adjust the backlight up to 15 sec or even 1 mins . the battery haven't deplete , but the light button already spoil .
How do you silence the watch so that it doesn’t beep every time you press the mode button? Need to be able to go through the menus without the watch beeping every time I press mode button. Ex. Set Alarm.
Hi Greg, I am a UK viewer of this video. Great Review!. Are the alarms clearly audible? Most of my Casios are not, a big weakness in the ranges. Many thanks Terry davis
I find the alarms to be very similar to the alarms on other Casio watches. I know that some folks think those aren't nearly loud enough but I've decided, long ago, that I treat them like gentle reminders and I won't rely on them to wake me up from a deep sleep.
I love this model, hope thet make a solar/Multi Band 6 version. I bought all 3 this past December. I use the positive screen versions often. I don't know why I bought the reverse screen model, I guess because it was so darn cheap. The positive screen is so easy to read. Those fake screws make me laugh.
I’m missing the preset countdown timers in some of the older Casios. Are there any models with those features that we can purchase new? Something that cycles thru several presets. Without having to go thru all the changes. Nice for teaching classes
the AE-1500 is great (stay away from the negative display model; it sucks). I love the concept/idea behing Gshocks; only problem is how small the digits are. 85% of the Gshock face is nothing but an ugly modern-art masterpiece. I want a watch, not a painting.
this isn't anything to do with this video specifically but it's just blowing my mind a little how this is literally the only watch channel which concerns Casio where I don't see a Single ga2100 video this isn't like Bad or anything, just really surprising lmao
Yes. I see how popular they are but, at a glance, the GA2100 models lack the stuff that gets my attention immediately. No atomic time receiver. No solar. Plus, almost all of them have negative LCDs. So… I remain indifferent.
Great review 👍. I have trt-110h besides some gshocks. Starting having eye sight issues Im after a watch with big numbers and this one seems so good, but, Ive been interested in timex tw4b2500 for some time because of its large appearance and its software. Which one would you recommend please? Thanks.
@@entertainme7523 what you mean? Could you find that info in the video? I have watched it carefully and did not see it. Unless you consider "very big" being a standard unit of measure. But i am sure it's not the case ☺️
I have like a 6 inch wrist, it’s bulky, and I’ve inserted to the 9th hole of 11, and it fits perfectly, it’s like a big version of the GAB2100-1A but without the Bluetooth and Tough Solar.
No vibes, sadly. I picked up a 736h along with this watch for times I want vibes instead of beeps. I just wish the 736 came in the khaki color of the 1500. It’s a beautiful true khaki color (tan with a greenish tinge).
Dude, no matter which hole you put the closure on, the AE1500WH will fit you regardless of how big or how small your wrist is, I have like a 6 inch wrist and it fits outstanding.
That's a pretty arrogant thing to command others what they have to do and to imply that whatever it is that they are doing didn't already save them or that their existing beliefs aren't right. I think we could be a bit more considerate, loving and respectful towards one another than that
That little right bar of 10 seconds is super useful for ER people or emergency units that need to quickly take vitals.
Hello Greg! In my honest opinion, this has got to be the best budget watch that Casio released in 2021. I bought it without hesitation!

@Douglas Pantera If you're looking for large numbers only, as Mr. Porter here seems to be, yes it can.
so true.

I was ready to throw down some GShock money until I found these. Excellent display size. I bought both the black and Khaki Models.
I was the same, scrolling through TH-cam videos looking at g shock videos until this little beauty came to my attention 😂
Smart Man!
Keep up the great work. I appreciate being able to learn about affordable watches. 👍 Your how to’s are great
I have dark grey positive display and the black negative display, love how clear the LCD is. Absolutely a bargain
Did you swap the modules? Because I'm pretty sure the negative display only comes in grey, and the positive only comes in black.
@@tristan6509 Negative display got released for other colors too, they even made a desert beige negative display too

I have to stop watching your video. I keep buying.
The one beside that looks a bit smaller, love the Large Negative LCD Display, I own the 1AV and I am stunned that I have it.

I had that proble with both of mine, used a bit of Polywatch to clear up the crystal
mine too. it's a plastic screen and it doesn't recess enough. little bump could scratch easily, that's the cons of this watch
Put a protector on it

Have you found a Cristal protector for this watch?

@Not Sure Yes I agree.
I really like my negative display!
the case has to be stout in order to absorb shock.
Great video and information. Thanks so much.
Do you think the combi bracelet or nato adaptors are compatible with this watch?
Yes but with modifications
hi Greg, have you seen the white strap, negavite display version of this watch??
i have one on order and the suspense is killing me! 😂
AE1500WH-8B2V
How's the screen holding up? Does it really scratch easily?
No problems so far. But I have to admit that I don’t wear this one when I’m at work and I’ve been working a lot recently.
great watch and great review, thank you. i love this particular model.

Is it possible to turn off beeping sound when you pressing buttons?
no not on this watch
@firstprototype In which video, exactly?
Great video
Any way to change strap on this model casio?
Great review 👍. I have trt-110h besides some gshocks. Starting having eye sight issues Im after a watch with big numbers and this one seems so good, but, Ive been interested in timex tw4b2500 for some time because of its large appearance and its software.

Great content. Subbed.
Guys, anybody can tell me something about signal alrm duration? 10 seconds? Maybe, 20 sec., like regular DW-6900 has?
❤ Casio watch
Good review. Nice watch.
Does it count laps ?
Not just poly watch, I'd just use turtle wax rubbing compound and finished with brasso/any car wax
Hey Greg, would you do a review on the ws2100h? Hard to find a good review of the watch
Loving mine
why is social media being inundated with one year old posts about this watch?
Nice review but try to wear it in your wrist and see us how it look like in your wrist . And tell us about your wrist size 🌷
It doesn’t have world time mode 😢
what is the size of the digits?
Watch the video
@@entertainme7523 what you mean? Could you find that info in the video? I have watched it carefully and did not see it.
Unless you consider "very big" being a standard unit of measure. But i am sure it's not the case ☺️
cool
Great Casio youth series watch.
Thanks dear Mr. Anderson
I want one and I am 55
is it too big for small skinny wrist ( 6 inch ) ?
I have like a 6 inch wrist, it’s bulky, and I’ve inserted to the 9th hole of 11, and it fits perfectly, it’s like a big version of the GAB2100-1A but without the Bluetooth and Tough Solar.
Do you know if there is an option for vibrating alarm on this watch?
I haven’t seen one like this with a vibration alarm.
No vibes, sadly. I picked up a 736h along with this watch for times I want vibes instead of beeps. I just wish the 736 came in the khaki color of the 1500. It’s a beautiful true khaki color (tan with a greenish tinge).
Kinda looks like a budget version of my Protrek Prw-30 minus the ABC functions.
Still trying to set the date. How??
Whe you adjust you need to play with the 4 numbers and move the right number and then set the day, the date is easier to adjust
Does this watch has lap count
There is a Casio watch around this price that has what you want!
Will this look good on people with slim wrist?
I would think so. Give it a shot and if you don't like it return it. Amazon is great with returns.

To me, the negative LCD would be the one to get, but this watch is too thick to fit under a cuff.
I bought both. The negative display sucks; very hard to see. Stick with the positive display model.
