My favorite beater watch of all time. I have the khaki one. Mine is off by < 15 seconds per month, but if I do not adjust it for a long time, the average per month tends to be even better, so perhaps based on how I use it, swim, walk, expose to Florida sun, etc., it varies slightly, faster and slower. Overall, the watch is brilliant, particularly when you consider the price.
@@jobnewton2152 "15 seconds per month is not good" -- With variations I have discussed earlier, it would likely be < 1 min per 6 months. I can live with that on a beater, and I adjust it around that interval.
You put the best demonstrations of any spokesman.You have helped me make decisions o n watch buying. Wanted you to know. So many of us appreciate your efforts.
Good to be back. I spent a lot of time with family and got a few other projects done this summer but now I am having a bit more time to devote to The Good Timekeeping Show (with Greg Anderson). Maybe I need to find a fill-in host who isn’t busy right now. Imagine The Good Timekeeping Show with Seth Meyers. Or… maybe not.
Great video. As it happens I’m carrying out my own little month long accuracy test of all my Casios and my green AE-1500 with the extra long strap is seemingly doing pretty good. BTW another 1500 that might interest you is the WS-1500H. Great watch with design similar to the AE-1500 but with a lot more features like fishing data, moon phase and a liquid crystal analog display that is bigger than say on the Royale and as a first I believe for Casio has cool animations on it according to what mode you’re in. Apparently the module is brand new and exclusive to the WS-1500H which is a 2023 release. Around 30 bucks in the US I believe.
Makes sense now as to why they jump the minute up one if the seconds is after 30. With a +/- 30 second a month accuracy, setting Your watch to exact once a month can be done with one press of the adjustment button as it will always be jumped up or back down to the correct minute.
I just picked up a blue one from Argos yesterday. I did have an Apple Watch before but was fairly useless on my wrist & got sick of charging it every day & now i dont need to worry about it for an entire decade... No competition! 🥰
I think the temperature variation from wearing or not wearing the watch can matter on a small scale. Various high accuracy quartz watches use thermocompensation to try and adjust for this, but many also stipulate their claimed accuracies of 5 seconds a year or whatever can only be achieved if the watch is worn for X hours a day. I feel like if it didn't matter then HAQs wouldn't need to stipulate that.
Greg, had you thought of making an artificial wrist? Perhaps a bit of pipe with warm water flow and a turning motor fashioned from some gardening equipment. 🤔😊
I have one and I love the large digits. I only wish it has Atomic Time. I also noticed that your first and fourth watch from the left has a metalic look on the bezel right above the four buttons. Mine doesn't have that. What version is it please?
Could be interesting to see the accuracy differences of each watch from month to month (or week to week). From my limited testing it is very consistent. If so, why wouldn't casio just add a speed offset option to be set by the user? Any watch could then be accurate to a few seconds a year. Then again, probably not good business for casio, in relation to the auto syncing models.
Casio used to put trimmer capacitors in virtually all their watches. Quite rare now though. Which is a pity. My older 690, 901 and 1199 modules I've trimmed to 1 sec a month without too much effort. 😊
Have you tried the new White band with negative display yet ? Mine has stayed on atomic time correctly 5 days straight. Maybe Casio changed the newer models some ?
Nice video. I don't know about this test but my 2 year old AE1500 that I wear daily, loses 3 to 4 seconds in 6 months. Maybe I got a good batch watch, who knows...
@@DanRC69 Really? I have 16 G-Shocks and the only ones that are really accurate are the atomic models and I have 1 GA700 that gains +1 sec a month….I set that one in January and its 8 sec off, that is a fluke because all the others are +3 to +5 sec a week
@sylvainster30 I've got a GBX100 that after around 6 months is only +1 second (with bluetooth OFF) over my atomic 5600 which is amazing, my GA2110U is only about +7 seconds over the same time, gbd800 (never wear it though - uncomfortable) at about +14s, so all perfectly good.
Hi Greg.. your videos are informative. Thank you. I do have a list of questions that I would ask. Is there an email address I can forward those questions to?
Greg, so is your Casio Royale black resin model still your most accurate budget-friendly watch as of November 1st 2023 (the date I'm typing this)? Thanks
Quartz watches are affected by temperature. It is possible that they are factory-calibrated to the human body temperature. If that's the case, they will run more accurately while worn.
considering I paid $20 for mine new im not going to complain one bit about this kind of accuracy - much like computer chips in computers you play the IC lottery, each one slightly different but still well within specs and beats many high dollar mechanical watches thqt run slower as the mainspring runs down and or it needs an expensive service. For me a decent quartz watch makes a lot more sense function wise than a $$$$$ Rolex thats more fragile when dropped and will need a very expensive service periodically to keep it within specs that often arent as good as a decent quartz watch..
Their quartz crystal watches right? If so, that's atrocious time keeping, I would expect them all to be within a second or two of each other a year later, let alone a month later!
I have the blue and sand one of this watch I at to get theme from Amazon USA because the don’t seem to be sold at Retailers in the UK, it is one of the only watches I can read in the dark, with out my glasses on i also have a lot of watches mostly I only wear my favourite but I am going on holiday next month to Jamaica and my wife is telling me not to take to Many with me I need I diver i also have a new satellite citizen so I won’t to see it change over in a different part of the world I also have a Casio ggb100 which I Want to log the journey from the airport to the hotel which I have found out sill dose with out having the mobile data on my mobile phone the is free Wi-Fi in the hotel so I am ok there one of the Reasons we are going on this holiday is to Celebrate area 40th wedding anniversary back in march but this watch taking Decision, we may not last Another year wife don’t understand use watch nuts 😂
All of my G-Shocks (except multiband) probably gain between 1 and 3 seconds a month, so i guess the cheapest Casio's aren't as accurate as i was expecting. Still - nothing a monthly sync couldn't sort.

You have several Casios. Can you make a video on the subject of resin rot?
As well as the lug breaking issue on some old Casios
Dude this is an intervention... You have an addiction to the AE1500. Yes it is a lovely watch but enough is enough.
I have my G-Shock squares set up the same way. And now you have me planning on doing my own accuracy test starting September 1. 😅
How's the test looking?
One of the better Casio watches. Really enjoy wearing it

Thanks Greg very interesting video 👍
I’m partial to the mrw-200h. These things are crazy tough and accurate as all get out.
Very impressive. I only use quartz watches, mostly Casios. It just makes sense.

This is one Casio reference where the negative display is very legible.
Quite a few of them are to me although I hear this complaint often!!!???
Finally got my g-shock I been wanting for about two years the all steel square silver. I wear it every day

I suppose they just wanted to make sure they kept this as a very low-priced watch. Not super fancy but a great value.

Yes.

Yes juweliers polish works there are youtube videos on it

Hey Greg, quick question what do you do with all the tags of these watches?
a great watch for a daily beater
Nice video. I don't know about this test but my 2 year old AE1500 that I wear daily, loses 3 to 4 seconds in 6 months. Maybe I got a good batch watch, who knows...
On a news report I saw a Ukrainian officer in the trenches wearing a tan AE-1500.
The last G-shock I got is the Nasa 6900 the white one….it’s going +3 sec per week so roughly 12 sec a month, not bad I guess!
✌🏼😎👍🏼
That seems a LOT for a G-Shock, they are usually considerably more accurate than that.
@@DanRC69 Really? I have 16 G-Shocks and the only ones that are really accurate are the atomic models and I have 1 GA700 that gains +1 sec a month….I set that one in January and its 8 sec off, that is a fluke because all the others are +3 to +5 sec a week

Curious sir I bought a iridescent 2100 and I would like to mod it to put a rubber strap. Is it hard to remove it as the bezel is metal? Cheers.
Menurut greg yg mana yg lebih akurat
I'd say mine is about 3 to 5 seconds fast in a month.

Nope. It's the most accurate one. All others are 12 hours off.
