[@MrSonofagun45]

I have two so yes I like them. I don’t use the timers and alarms. I just need a watch with a basic screen I can easily read. Great video. Thanks!

[@goatreviews]

Brilliant! Your use-case perfectly fits the AE-1500 👌 Which colourways did you go with? Thanks for the feedback, and glad you enjoyed it! 🙏

[@Robin6512]

I have 2. Wear them for 2 + years and love them. Easy to read. The alarms are good. By far my favo Casio. I have about 15 Casio’s

[@goatreviews]

Brilliant! Thanks so much for sharing this Robin - The fav of your collection 👌🔥⌚️

[@Djinsoul]

Now you’re also helping others know the time. Such a good deed 😅

[@goatreviews]

LOL - I love this way of looking at it 👌 You’re welcome, everyone else! 🤣

[@chrikanipe779]

I picked mine up for $5 USD on clearance at WalMart. At that price , absolutely no complaints.

[@goatreviews]

What an INCREDIBLE pickup! 🤩 Well done Chri, I'd have ABSOLUTELY no complaints at that price either 👌

[@Gigachad-hb7ji]

Awesome follow up on the AE-1500!Despite the flaws its a solid peice!

[@goatreviews]

Cheers Gigachad! 🍻 It’s a cool watch that I’m glad to have in my collection 😎👌

[@Plexcom60]

I have all the AE models and this is one of my favourites. Here's a tip. If you want to make it more comfortable go and get yourself an eight and a half inch wrist. It'll fit fine then. Thanks for the video.

[@goatreviews]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing this Plex 🙏 It’s such a cool watch! I appreciate the tip 🤣🤣🤣 I guess I’d better start eating more and adding reps to my pushups routine 💪😎

[@marlinus64]

I have one and love it. I think it functions just fine and have no complaints. Great watch

[@goatreviews]

Good on ya, Marlin! 🙏 I'm really pleased with mine as well. I've recently added a hard screen protector in place of the soft one 😅👌

[@marcelovasconcellos6067]

Clear and honest review. I can abide by all your criticisms. However, I just coinsider this watch an updated F-91, thinking of it in this way, all the little failures are quirks. And it sits very well and comfy on my 7.25in. wrist.

[@goatreviews]

Thanks so much for your feedback. 🙏 This is an interesting take! It’s a feature packed update on the F-91W for sure 😁 Good point! I still love this watch 👌 Perfect - It seems to be a good size for larger wrists than mine! 👍

[@WyvernDotRed]

The alarm functionality matches that of a modded W-800H, including the snooze option on the first alarm. So you can compare button-presses and use this piece's indicators to figure out the functionality. Perhaps if I ever do the mod again, I'll investigate whether the seconds can maybe even scrolling the other way are those features. Probably not, I did not actually enjoy the modding process as I did not like that piece, but it was easy to pull off. My brother wears his AE-1500 extremely loose, like 2-3 notches too loose but is perfectly happy with this. The scratches on his resemble what you got on it, but his is also completely rounded over at the corners. If that already looks like 'paper' to your wife, I think she'd be shocked to see my e-ink phone. Which completely looks like a framed piece of paper, even when off, but actually responds to touch and can even do some choppy video playback. Not that I am watching this on it, it's entire point being to do more involved things on my other devices, like my laptop used to write this comment.

[@goatreviews]

Great point, RedWyvern! 💯 And one advantage the large screen gives the AE-1500, is being able to show which of these 5 alarms are active at all times! 👀 That’s a smart way to know how it’s done - I am going to keep this knowledge in my back pocket for when I use the W800H alarms next 😁👌 Fair enough man - I find it surprising that the prospect of further modding doesn’t excite the one and only RedMacGuyvern 😜 Interesting - I might try wearing mine a bit looser too. Wow, sounds like your bro has got some good use out of it! Polywatch is always a backup of the scratches get too bad 😁 Oh man, that’s a great point!! That’s a whole other level of looking like paper. Hey that gives me an idea… what about an E-Ink wristwatch?… 👀 The refresh rate might limit features like a stopwatch, but then again, MIP displays are limited in this way on G-Shocks anyway 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@deips74]

I think Casio did a good job with this watch, it has pros and cons commensurate with the selling price. Nowadays, of all the digital Casios I own, I can only see the time clearly on the Pro-Trek which has large digits; therefore this AE-1500 is certainly recommended for those who no longer have twenty-year-old eyes. Excellent and comprehensive review as always.

[@goatreviews]

I agree Davide. This is a great value watch for sure! 👌 Oh wow! I’m glad the large digits of the Pro Trek are nice and clear for you. I hope you can still enjoy the other beauties in your collection! 🤩 Thank you for the feedback. I always appreciate your input! 🙏

[@gregstecyk552]

i have got one and it is defenately worth every penny/cent you need to pay for it. For 25 quid you get very solid watch with 100m wr and all essential functionality which will serve you couple of years for sure

[@goatreviews]

Good stuff, Greg! 🙏 I agree - It’s a high-value watch. I’d definitely recommend supplementing it with a screen protector to make it last that bit longer too! 👌

[@Rick-ve5lx]

I’ve owned one for several years but didn’t know about the auto-repeat or return to home-time features so thanks for that.

[@goatreviews]

Brilliant! I’m so glad to have prompted you to learn about these features, Rick! 👌 No worries brother, I hope you make good use of them! 🙏

[@randallhill7979]

Great video and cool watch 👍

[@goatreviews]

Thanks, Randall! Very cool 😎 I appreciate it. 🙏

[@gregdoyon5377]

I love this watch. I have 3 of them. I agree with the negatives of this watch, but what do you expect from a $21 watch. It has way more upside.

[@goatreviews]

Amazing! Which colours did you go with? And which is your fav? 🤩 Yeah I agree, at this kind of price it’s doing an INCREDIBLE job! 👌

[@FiremanFrach]

I have the negative display and have no problem with it. It lights up great (only the digits light up which is perfect). Love the watch.

[@goatreviews]

Awesome! 🙌 I’d love to experience the negative display model. 👌 Thanks so much for sharing this Paul 🙏

[@sathishrao7926]

This was my first Casio after I got back into watches after a decade of wearing Apple Watch. I love its large display and G-Shock killer dimensions. I’ve now “collected” most of (if not all) AE-series watches (AE-1000,1100,1200,1300,1400,1500,2000,3000) and 1500 is an outlier (even though 3000 is bigger in size, it’s a world-time watch like most of the others in AE series)

[@goatreviews]

Wow! Thanks for sharing that - Cool that this was your first of the series! 👌 I much prefer Casios to smart watches too 😁💯 Man, you’re an absolute collector of the AE-series! Which one is your favourite, Sathish? 🤩

[@sathishrao7926]

@@goatreviews AE-3000 with gold toned bezel.. Big and beautiful !

[@goatreviews]

@@sathishrao7926 magnificent!! 🤩 I love the domed world map 🌍👌

[@patricj951]

I have it, and use it for reading the time and split times when running. The large digits helps when it's shaky. I got another, in tan with negative display. It looks very nice but legibility is very bad, so go for the positive display if you want good legibility.

[@goatreviews]

Nice use-case! 👌 I can see why the large digits would help with this. Interesting, I have heard mixed reviews about the negative displays. Thanks for sharing your insights! 🙏

[@davekat4680]

….recieved my tan AE1500 a few weeks ago. Slim wrist but bought anyway. No disappointment. It’s one of my favorites. Will never be late again 👍 I Call it my ‘wrist clock’ 😂

[@goatreviews]

Oooh yes, the Tan one is such a nice colourway! 🤩 Hahaha, this is a perfect nickname 😂👌

[@Soggz7785]

I have one of these strapped to the handlebars of my motorcycle as an extra gauge. Great for keeping an eye on the time.👍🏾🇬🇧🏍

[@goatreviews]

That’s such a dope idea! 🔥💡👌 Was it easy enough to secure it properly? I bet it blends in with the gauges quite well. I hope nobody steals it off the bike!

I got this watch in black and blue. Black looks very good, the blue looks amazing. Almost like a blue/grey.

[@goatreviews]

Awesome! 👌 It sounds like the Blue is your fav - Great choice. I've seen pictures, and it does look amazing 🤩

[@vipnetworker]

@@goatreviews They’re only $20, you should get one. You’ll love it.

[@davidjuros3024]

Definitely it is a good watch, the price it is rigth, but there is a few things i don't like, as you mention there is no option to scroll backwards the numbers, that is a very practical feature that even some vintage casio got i don't know why a new casio don got it, i don't think could be difficult to include on the module, as i mention before i don't like the resin crystal, not for the scratchs just i feel it is not resistant enough, the big numbers reminds me some cheap casio knockoffs i saw before and i like face plates that separates the screen on differents sections, big numbers on that screen without a face plate is a not for me, but it is a casio, so it is a good watch highly recommended a quality product for a good price, nice review my friend always a👍 for you.

[@goatreviews]

Good stuff David! 👌 I appreciate you weighing in with these thoughtful points🙏 I had never considered that this watch didn’t have a faceplate! 🤯 But you’re right, the separation a faceplate provides can be valuable as it’s divides the screen clearly into it’s different sections. 👌 I’d love to see what an AE-1500 would look like with one! 👀

[@weareallseedsofthesametree]

Another unique plus for the alarms is that you get individual on/off indicators for each of the alarms.

[@goatreviews]

Great point, Robert! 👌 I should have mentioned this too. A really unique and useful feature 🙏

[@raghavansankar9013]

Hey Goat , I have a suggestion for you for your next casio . I will suggest Casio Aw 90H . It a quirky one , has some unique feature , looks cool and very affordable. I hope that you consider my words! Thanks 😊

[@goatreviews]

Very cool! 👌 Thanks for the suggestion Raghavan, I appreciate it 🙏

[@daniel13fun]

i definitely think its a cool watch. especially the ones with a negative display. i also had the same issue with the wrist band being either too loss or too tight.

[@goatreviews]

Cheers Dan, I agree! 😎🙏 Yep, I hear this is one of the few watches that REALLY nails the negative display legibility - With another one being the GD-350 which I can personally vouch for 👌 Oh man, it’s rough right? 😅 the AE-1500 could really do with some closer-together notches for adjustment

[@chriskelly509]

The negative display will work with this size of display 😀

[@dorbei]

The negative display version doesn't have the issue of the backlight washing out the digits. It also looks way cooler than the positive display.

[@goatreviews]

Good stuff! Thanks for pointing this out. 🙏 I know what you mean - I love my negative Display GD-350 for the same reason 😎👌
