This was apparently first available in October 2012. I must've got it close to that launch date when I was still in the UK. I upgraded to a smart watch about 3 years ago, and this has been sitting in a basket gathering dust, until I found it just now. It is just 2 minutes off of the correct time, and still functional on it's first (pre-installed) battery. Amazing quality for its price point.
My daily driver. I get, "what kind of smartwatch is that, it looks really cool!". I've let people look at it and the first thing they do is tap the screen, LOL!!!
Hahaha I love that!
Lol! That's great! Keep doing that, what a laugh 😂
One of Casio's best watch....i would put this in their top 5
Great review. Deserves more views for sure.
Bro I see you rising in the community. Bravo
Wasn’t sure if I was looking at the right model online. Just purchased thanks to your review!
Glad I could help! Enjoy the watch because it's very, very good
Two of my favorites
AE1200WHD-1AVEF
AE1200WHB-3BV
Just got one in military green with a green nato strap. A beauty!
great vid, many thanks, Sir!
Definitely worn a lot with all the minor scratches, just purchased. Thanks for the review.
Casio w-800h modified with countdown timer definite number 1 ever! Nice review thanks 👍🏻
I have a black one, it's one of my favorite watches ever!
I just picked up one of this last month and I’ve been wearing it ever since.
Purchased because of your video. Thank you
My main watch is a Cartier Roadster Chronograph but I've just ordered one of these from Argos for £22! Incredible value.
Great decision! I also got mine from Argos too 👌 you'll have a lot of fun with it 🙏
I have this modified with most of writing removed and a yellow filter. Recently bought the gold/ bronze coloured one with rubber strap. Love them.
Very nice! I've been thinking about buying the sapphire and titanium mod upgrade!
@@TopTierTicker There is a titanium mod for it? Which site sells that?
@@aydan7901skxmod
Modifying them is where the fun is at.
When i become ultimate ruler of the world, moding will be against the law.
Haram!
@@Rauz11 When I become the ultimate ruler of the world religions will be illegal. And for a good reason
@@Rauz11 what's wrong with modding
@@poiuntu its against of nature. 🤣
Just bought the 1200whb, green case, green strap. LOVE IT!!! 🙂
Love how they call it the Casio Royale, because CasioPussy just sounds wrong.
It would be so much more fun though wouldn't it 😂
Hahahaha
Cause of the metric system
I have one in the mail, I'll get it tomorrow, quite excited
Enjoy mate! hell of a watch
I just received mine today. I was feeling very nostalgic and wanted to have a Casio and I am very pleased with my choice. So much so that I decided, I’m gonna get the Michael J. Fox one back to the future and Sigourney Weaver from aliens.
How is it so far? Any cons?
Can you link the same brown leather strap featured in the video? Makes a stunning combo!
yellow colour mod the screen, brown leather strap.. looks amazing
Get the metal one and put on a brown leather strap...really nice steam punk/smart look. It's easy to fit any 24mm leather strap, just use a razor blade to cut mini squares out at the spring bar hole.
which is the metal one?
He means to say the one with the metal bracelet as in the one in the video, rather than the ones with a resin strap. This bracelet one has a resin case but with a metallic colouring.
I absolutely love this watch and especially the bracelet. Okay, its folded, but that's for me the charme of this vintage style watch. And its very comfortable and at least in my case no hair pinching at all.
Just brought one, and skmei 1335 love the backlight
Just bought, going to pair with mesh metal strap, Should be one of my Best watches---- Cheers mate ---Nicholas
GREAT video... I have just bought myself this exact watch today for just £29.99GBP.
You simply CAN NOT buy a better watch for £30
It looks far more expensive ..This is Casio Watch number 20 in my Casio watch collection
Long live Casio
Couldn't agree more!
Is the main glass in reality plastic in this watch?
I do believe the screen in this watch is just plastic ..However, it seems very tough and will be able to resist scratches well. @@lah0je9t-jb6nf
@@lah0je9t-jb6nfyep, resin is plastic, the glass part is actually plastic,
The style defo looks a tad geeky but I really love that especially as it also looks stylish
great watch and its back in stock in argos for £29!
I have one and I love it
Man that swipe at DW was brutal! ☠️
You should do it more often. 😏
😂👌
I got mine 6 years ago (ae-1000w) sat behind my couch for 3 years, I had mark time on so I heard the double beep every hour. Once I finally found it and it was only 3 minutes off
Very nice watch, lovely.
It really is!
Just order it hope its what like you say
Casio should make a limited edition of this beautiful watch. Sapphire face with titanium body on a negative display ❤
I modded mine using stainless steel and sapphire specifically made for this watch by skxmod
@@Captainstingwho u modify this
@@ahadfazal7177 ?
Negative display ruins it
@@educatin7559 I think it could be alright if you screen printed matching reversed legends, but the map part is probably never gonna look as good as it does unreversed. Just reversing the bottom digital readout would probably look good, and I don't think there's any technical restriction that prevents it, other than fiddly cutting up and hand placing polarizers.
I like this I’m gonna buy soon in Dubai
I have black resin one, with gold.ish display. The straps suddenly disintegrated after 4 years. Got identical straps but blue color. I hope they will last similar time. If not, I will buy a whole watch next time instead of straps replacement.
Hint: If you buy black resin one (not coated) you will not see scratches nor wear and tear on that coating. Mine looks great after 4 years with new blue straps.
I mean... 30$ for a watch that lasts for 4 years is still a bargain
@@mochammadfauzan4112 They can last for decades, but sooner or later any strap/bracelet will "die", no matter the price.
My daily driver. Love it.
I just picked this watch over a Daytona.
I have ae-1200wh-1b. Best fckin watch in history 🎉🎉🎉❤
I used it more than 7 years and still running but there is a black area in the middle of the screen but still counting the time 😅 casio fan❤
When did it develop the black spot?
@@minimalisthealth same burning here.. mine also started in the center like few months ago and now it's expanding.
@@adminmovie ohh, but after how long did the spot first appear?
@@minimalisthealth after like 5-6 years.
Have the black color way but the SS bracelet model is calling me 🤣 cheers
Had mine since June 2017. Never missed a beat. My only beef with it is the cheap build.
Bought today for £24.95,so excited!!
Good decision! Enjoy
from where? £42 on amazon uk
@@malthus101 argos in the UK!
@@waynedunn7270f the price is right I will buy.
Thanks for sharing.
hey, i just bought the steel edition, like 3 days ago and i am so excited to get it.... costs 42€ for me what is good in Germany.
Very nice. I hope you enjoy it!
Picked it up for £20 new this month when my g2210 broke.

I can't able to find this watch in amazon don't know why
I just wish the analog part of the watch had real hour, minute, and seconds hands , other than that excellent watch . Casio should actually revive this watch and offer it with titanium case and sapphire glass. Heck I’ll buy it 😊
It has a very loud alarm louder than most watches it's got a neat little world map dual time five alarms stopwatch you can even change the alarm going off once a day or everyday but I must say this watch has the loudest alarm of any watch I've owned I have owned many Casio watches the really expensive ones you can't hardly hear the alarm I have owned Armitron from cheap watches to the expensive Casio watch but this watch is really a good watch for the money Casio is good at making watches but I would not buy an expensive Casio because the complex watches are likely to break down leaving you're stuck with a broken watch and no warranty from Casio so I advise you not to spend more than $30 on a watch
I disagree on the alarm sound. It sounds average and not loud.
Wait until you see the AE-2000W. Same functions but a mineral crystal, a stainless steel insert instead of painted plastic and 200m WR rating.
Functional af but not nearly half as cool
yeah that watch is totally different and looks like an anus.
It looks like a kid's toy watch
I Expected very Much From Your Hype up, Well That's Not Half as cool as the ae1200
Coolness is subjective, I think the AE-2100W looks better than the Royale but sadly 48 mm diameter is much too big for my wrist.
That's my watch!
I wonder if the word "illuminator" on the case would actually go off over time?
1:33 lmao
I'm from India I bought but i found difficult to adjust watch setting
Casio is an amazing company.👍

P.S. You forgot to mention the 10-year battery life.😊
P.P.S. Your Review is excellent with such spot-on comments! (I'm just waking up here.😁)
P.S. No he didn't see 2:42 lol
1:33 The moment you said "Pure Crap" to ĎW, I had to Subscribe 😂👍‼
I have the round version (AE1000) in silver and orange which I love. ❤ Could this be called the "Royale with Cheese" perhaps?!
Haha! Well, you've just coined it. So I suppose that's what it's now called. I quite like the look of that one actually, I might have to get one 🤔👀
You heard it here first folks! 🍔 I'm wearing it right now and I love it ❤️
U will soon get 100k subs
No
Bro so buying this watch is better or good please reply bro
I have no idea what your comment means, but yes, buy this watch... It's incredible.
@@TopTierTicker audibly chuckled :D
It's the best watch under 30k ever made!
We can just say how much he wore it by looking at the watch
just been looking at this 7 months on cannot find this variant for £30 in uk now..
Argos
@@halemcdan1 ordered one nice one
Love mine ( a gift from a very discerning friend) .
Nowhere can I seem to buy it anymore in India. Its out of stock everywhere, been looking for more than a year now. Breaks my heart 😢
Still on Amazon and Flipkart
But on Chinese website
Or u can just have one shipped from another country nearby
@@slothymangodoesn't that cost more than the watch value in import fees though?
@@minimalisthealth the watch is like $16, if it's the only way to get it into the country and it's the watch you really want, then paying $50-100 isn't even that crazy.
C1552F00N-104 - what's this then?
Is the crystal glass or resin ? Getting conflicting info even on Casio's own website. I see scratch marks on your crystal here .
resin
How to feel like Big Boss
I like the watch, but mine got some water spots on the inside of the glass after i took a bath with it on.
It's super easy to take apart and clean! Unscrew the caseback and you will be able to give it a good clean :)
how to check if the watch is original or no? please help
The details, compare photos closely
Why did you leave out the function of the upper right-hand corner. That poor little display always gets left out....😔
What does it do?
@@michaelmelling9333 Hey Mate, the top right display has the Alarm, Hourly Signal and Button Mute displays in it when active.
@@tangosucka8526 thank you!👍
@@michaelmelling9333 No dramas Mate 😁
Why is my ae1200 have the wrong timezone like 1 hour behind?
I think you have DST(Daylight savings mode off) try turning it on.
Which means AE , prefix never found it
unfortunately my 1200's screen starting to burn in the center.
I've owned one for a year...but I don't think I'm an exception LOL..
Who doesn't have a 'Casio Royale'??? 😀😀
It's one of them watches that once you get it, you simply cannot part with it. Absolutely love mine. You can probably tell by how many scratches are on mine.
casio lf-20w please
I have SKMEI 1335 just under 10 dollars same like Casio AE 1200.
Any plans on getting the real thing?
@@TopTierTicker very soon in shaa Allah
The shade on DW hahahaha
😂
I am confused between black and metal strap.....
Which one do you think is the best?
👇
If I had my time again, I'd probably go with the black!
@@TopTierTicker Why?
@@TopTierTickerEven I am confused between the two,any particular pros and cons between the two ??
It would deserve a steel case and hardened glass...to blow the mind, lol.
Check out my video 'transform the Casio royale' and your mind will be blown 😱
Should admit that the steel version suits your wrist better than the resin band.
I think the A500W is better, more refined.
I got one with crocodile straps(special made)and everybody who dont know the watch thinks its a 10000$ watch
31 world time zones on a planet that only has 24?
I just asked Alexa about it, you're right (I guess).🤔
July 2, 2023
Google: The number of time zones in the world is surprisingly high at 38, instead of the 24 that we would have if we kept things simple with just 24 zones, 1 for each of the 24 hours in a day. But many countries wanted offset times (for 30 or 45 minutes) and/or wanted to circumvent the International Date Line.
Why is the one you are showing so scratched ?
Because I wear the hell out of it 😆
Nice video
Not much content around the functions of the watch!
Is display made of glass or plastic?
Plastic 👍
@@TopTierTicker so there will scratches on the watch.
Errm yes, if you can find me a single watch on the planet that in time doesn't pick up a single scratch let me know 😂
@@TopTierTicker I have a question! Is Casio A168WA-1WDF screen made of Glass or Plastic?
@@TopTierTicker Plastic made screen get easily scratch. But Glass takes long time.
I have a silver AE-1200WH with metal band, and I would not call it the greatest watch. The screen scratches easily, and it's not atomic synced nor solar powered, and it's no more accurate than any quartz watch... i.e., it loses about 10 seconds a month. The greatest watch IMHO, of which I have two of them, is the PAW-1500 ABC watch. It's not perfect, but if you buy the metal band version, you can buy it once, and never buy another watch again for the rest of your life. Considering I've been through a ton of watches, that's saying a lot. I would give away my AE-1200WH as superfluous, but not my PAWs. Really though, Alexa and Smart Phones have made clocks and watches... obsolete. Get yourself at least one Alexa and a Smart Phones, both of which are time synced to the network, and be done with watches. I use Alexa to tell me the time 50x more than I look at a wristwatch.
That's why this watch is not just for telling time. And besides, where's the style with an Alexa.
Almost impossible to operate……good luck figuring out how to even change the time.
Literally just hold down the button that says ADJUST.
God that screen is already hella scratched up
Yeah... I wore it for around 8 months before making this video, and it was my beater as I didn't own a G-Shock
you haven't checked the Casio A500, it may be better than this one.
Does it look good worn by adult men? Cause its kind of youth watch
So, I haven't learned a damn thing about the actual usage of this watch. Complete waste of time! :(
World time, 31 time zones, easy to operate, what's more to learn
@@TopTierTicker If so simple, then why even bother with making such a stupid useless crap video, other than trying to sell clickbait ads? :P
Why do you, and other British TH-camrs do everything in dollars?
Only 15% of my viewers are British, and I'm sure it's very similar for other watch reviewers too.
Americans around 25%...
The most understood currency in the world is USD, so it just makes sense to use it as reference
AE1200WHD-1AVEF (Silver w/Bracelet)
AE1200WHB-3BV (Military Green w/Green Strap)
I only into Casio watches that's made in Japan
The steel bracelet is trash. The AE1200 has no business on a bracelet
I made an update video about a great strap for it... The bracelet is okay, not great
