Finally found a Casio that can show time and chrometer at the same time.

[@lew9223]

Nice comparison video, 2 great watches. Thanks

[@adamdmi5752]

Both are great , awesome video . More and more Casio vintage PLS ❤

[@briansaiditsoitmustbetrue4206]

For me, I prefer the AE-1200WH I do have the AE-1200WH in my collection and I love it.. Thank you for this video.

[@chihiro9283]

I like the ws 1600, looks cool. Bought one today

[@HoboHeaven]

No Battle for me, I have both.

[@franciscorobertosantos8934]

Estou aguardando o segundo modelo apresentado no vídeo. Já tenho o primeiro

[@vedshukla2286]

The most savagest reply I’ve ever read😂

[@Cobra-9424]

I want both they both look nice

[@paulrobinson9355]

Good battle - I have both now 👍👍

[@manusreenivasan5310]

Very helpful.

[@queuerious]

I just bought the Casio 1200, but your review would have been very helpful in my decision process. In the end, my preference for more explicit world time functionality reaffirms my choice of the 1200. Thanks for sharing.

[@puneetbirmaan2940]

Just got my 1600 today. Love it

[@wristaction]

good choice!

[@antslim168]

Royale is the GOAT, pardon the pun 😂

[@sadrazampasa3369]

I was literally unsure about choosing which one should I buy and I saw this video… thank you so much for helping me❤️ I think I’ll buy WS1600 because I need the countdown timer

[@khalidrahman922]

I'm happy with my A158W. It's a nice watch. Has everything I need.

[@Arjun08ac]

Thanks

[@WilliamBurton-1980]

I have both too

[@abrahamudabe8950]

Keep ‘em coming boss

[@vezquex]

Would love the 1600 features without all the useless complications. That's why I wear a WS220.

[@wristaction]

I hadn’t heard of that model. Tough Solar, very nice.

[@jasonwilson6062]

Love the design of both just do all metal reissue please just got a1100 reissue today

[@Vuchatra]

The new one is great, but Royale forever.

[@legacy404]

One thing that annoys me is the timer presets that come standard on AE1300 and 1600. Why didnt they add 1,2,5 minute presets? I'm sure those would be much more useful than some of the others, like 12..

[@kristiant96]

I have a problem with casio watches that i need to take under control.

[@TheDanielduong]

Chronograph or world time? I love both!

[@RampartPh]

excellent conparison. w/c is easier to mod though?

[@wristaction]

I found that the WS1600 was easier. The AE1200 module took a bit of work to align into the black case with tweezers. Could have been just down to me though.

[@yourlocalfbiagent7971]

I'm confused,should I go with ae1300(40$) or ws1600(50$) please reply, I like both, actually I like the design of dw6900 3 eyes, that's why I'm a bit attracted to the ae 1300's 3 eyes

[@wristaction]

AE1300 and WS1600 are essentially the same watch but with a different display. Go for the one you like the look of. BTW, the WS1600 is less the US $30.

[@vick9721]

Just bought both

[@BoiDoggo]

1600 for the win

[@Velaxity]

The AE-1200 is my daily driver, great watch. I've modded mine to remove all lettering apart from Casio & WR100M, which makes it look much more clean imo.

[@wristaction]

I’ve heard about removing the lettering. Did you just use a rubber?

[@Velaxity]

@@wristaction No although I have heard of that method as well as goo-gone. But I used isopropyl alcohol 99.9% & Q-Tips, and then finished off with silicone spray on a cloth to make it pop & more even.

[@sathishrao7926]

Next.. A 3 way comparison with AE 1300 as the third watch !

[@wristaction]

The Ae1300 has exactly the same features as the ws1600, just different layouts for the seconds graph.

[@chilledtea6614]

I think the 1200 looks more futuristic

[@syedsabri3817]

Ws1600bcan set timer for 8sec??.. If can,i wan buy

[@wristaction]

The lowest is 5 seconds

[@brandonmorris3746]

I dont like the "font" of the 1600, but the rest of it looks pretty cool

[@wristaction]

I have read comments of people not liking the font. What is it you don't like?

[@Andrea-lr4kh]

Il cinturino è uguale ?

[@wristaction]

sì, è lo stesso cinturino

[@yogeshkhorwal8065]

Which is more scratch resistance

[@wristaction]

both have the same scratch resistance

[@thecompanioncube4211]

AE1200 world map, however corny it is, has been a topic of discussion with many of the people around me. It's very nice and gives it the well deserved casio royale name

[@yuvanathan]

AE1300?

[@rodg2335]

I'd buy the 1600 if I could buy it here.

[@mateuszw9165]

1600 best

[@JobyGeorge-rg2fu]

More like AE 1300👌👌👌❤️❤️❤️

[@EffendiChung]

I have and actively rolling the AE 1200, 1300 and just recently the WS 1600. Display wise, I always love the 1300 better, especially because of the dot matrix display that displays letters much better. Im not settled with the triclops though, its kind of ugly. Function wise, my WS1600 is on par with the ae1300 but with better design. I think the AE 1300 and WS 1600 are the more practical one for my daily use, but I wouldn't travel to different time zones without the AE 1200, its really my "GMT" watch.

[@wristaction]

I really like the ability of the AE1200 to change the home city to another city quickly. This feature is missing in the AE1300 & WS1600.

[@JobyGeorge-rg2fu]

More like AE 1300👌❤️

[@EffendiChung]

@@wristaction True, the ability to skip time zones quickly is a really convenient feature when travelling abroad. Really wished the 1300 has it too. The 1200 are designed for travellers.

[@EffendiChung]

@@JobyGeorge-rg2fu The dot matrix date/function window sold it for me. Looks more exclusive. I love that the 1600 also use one. Thats also the reason I bought one once its released.

[@JobyGeorge-rg2fu]

@@EffendiChung agreed but a slightly more efficient watch is the AE 1300 👌

[@Adrian_Ciobanu]

1600 was release in 2018

[@wristaction]

Nope

[@Adrian_Ciobanu]

@@wristaction You're right! Sorry my bad

[@Adrian_Ciobanu]

@@wristaction but 1600 i think is more close to AE-1300 than 1200.

[@wristaction]

@@Adrian_Ciobanu No bother, you still get a heart.

[@wristaction]

@@Adrian_Ciobanu You are absolutely right. It has the same firmware as the AE1300 and exactly the same features. I'm comparing it to to the AE1200 because it's a fan favourite and well known.

[@rashiqkm74]

Royale. .!!! Royale, royale, royale.... 🔥🔥🔥

[@andyfrizzell4352]

The other displays on 1600 are pointless. I'll take the 1200 work time functionality

[@Rauz11]

Yeaaaa we woooon!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂😂😂 1200B4ever🎉
