Can't go wrong with Casio. I'm wearing my AE-1200 right now! Love this little beast. Super easy to set up. Super easy to push the buttons. Great little light. As a kid of the 80's, it's a match made in heaven.

[@susrev88]

same here except the band is not long-lasting. mine broke after 2 years of 24/7/365 wear in a work from home setting. so i upgraded to a gw-m5610u but is miss the easy to push buttons.

[@PhantomObserver]

I bought the bracelet one about 15 years ago. Still have it. One thing I appreciated was the three additional time zones, which let me keep track of time in my parents' home as well as UTC and whatever destination I needed to plan for (I usually wind up flying multiple stops).

[@salty5402]

Agree 100%! My only digital watch is the Casio AE-1200 and does everything one could want in terms of functions and being a GADA watch. It serves as the worldtimer in my collection - and has thus far kept me from picking up a mechanical GMT. Great video!

[@younusimam-thesalamproject6340]

When I was injured and couldn't move, this is the only watch I could wear. I used it to time daily tasks and it stayed on as I slept. It will never leave the collection now.

[@uto74]

I have a AE-1200WH-1AV, and it's a perfect watch for me. It has almost all the functions a watch can have, I also love the design, gives me 80s vibes.

[@Valera_Scotland]

Just picked up a Seiko Skyliner 6100-8000 no date. On bracelet. From Japan for £230 I know it's not as value as Casio, but if people want a lovely dress watch which has some classic looks vintage Seiko , Grand Seiko, King Seiko is definitely where it's at.....I won't afford a Rolex or the Omega I want for several years so Casio and Seiko... THANK YOU

[@gilbertoportillo6650]

I got mine in 2015 I work in construction and believe me I’ve beaten it pretty good over the years, the paint on the resin is gone lots of scratches everywhere but stills works and also has the original battery. Two moth ago Amazon had it for $22.00 I bought it to keep it as a spare one. Thanks I love this watch. Greetings from America.

[@keithwigington6288]

I love this watch for so many reasons! I haven’t had a digital watch in many, many years and I thought it would be difficult to set up. It took a little getting used to, but once I took the time to read the manual it was so much fun setting up. Just so much fun for everyday use. I thought it would look small on my wrist, but it’s perfect. Great review!

[@statueofliberty2424]

I own AE1200 with steel/metal bracelet since 2017 and it’s still working fine.

[@dennismcmenemy9714]

I've had the all black version for a while. There have been other reviews on this Casio, your review is the best by far. Thank you Russ.

[@cormacpgs]

I love this watch so much. More features than you need, battery life forever, fun aesthetic, amazing visibility and legibility. I’ve got it on a vario leather strap and modded with the SKX polished steel case and sapphire crystal and it’s my go to watch. Can’t hype it up enough, amazing.

[@Arjomatic]

Mate, you are a legend! Thanks for the Argos tip, I’ve finally got an AE1200! Absolutely loving it!

[@tamarawondergem6390]

I just bought one for myself yesterday! And one for my brother in law who is also a watch enthusiast! I love it!!!!❤

[@gervers]

Great watch and great review! Congrats on the 50k subscribers too!!! Well deserved!

[@clippedwings2121]

Great video. Just so happened to watch it while wearing my AE-1200! Absolutely love it for travel. I move around a lot for work and need to keep track of multiple time zones, this watch does it all. I own several automatic watches with GMT functions, but I always reach out to my AE-1200 whenever I head off to the airport!

[@jakers9932]

I just found your channel and Thank you! I just bought my 1st Casio ! I wanted a watch that tells time / date and that is stylish to me, I didn’t want a smart watch, I hate charging every night. Love the channel!

[@pauloliver6813]

My stainless steel AE1200 is one of my "go to" bedtime watches. The light button is so easy to find in the middle of the night if I wake up- the orange light is just right. My wife says, simply- " it looks fun". And MWC, it was your love of Casio that led me to an appreciation of Casio's too. Thanks mate.

[@KABBARANKS]

I'm the same. Got one with the stainless steel bracelet, (which is janky as feck). I wear it to bed for the same reason. Great watch. 👍

[@markhondaturbo]

I happen to be wearing my black resin AE1200 now. I love this watch. Its been in the ocean and pools and still looks like new. Also my favorite backlight from Casio

[@TechBaffle]

I have a AE-1000W - my first Casio watch! Had it over 10 years (just replaced the battery), and they still sell it today. It just works, the world time is really cool (I love the world map) and using functions like the stop watch is really simple. About the scratches and scuffs - honestly doesn't look barely used even though it's been worn many times.

[@mandolore19]

Been avoiding one of these, but you make it seem more fun than other folks have. Seriously reconsidering having another look

[@damiangarcia8679]

I just ordered it, along with some screen protectors and vario straps, can't wait!!

[@MichaelAguila]

Can't argue with this one. Good video. 💪

[@annikinstarkiller600]

I have the silver one that came on the resin strap. Removed the wording on top and bottom of the bezel, removed the text indicating 10 year battery, threw a vario leather strap on it. And it is truly fantastic

[@squinkygordon1322]

Great review, thanks! I own the Casio G-Shock 5610 (JDM model) known as the "black & blue". It's solar powered, has 200m water resistance, and is based on the original G-Shock "square" from the '80s. It's my personal favorite and the only quartz watch in my collection.

[@augustgothman1537]

I have 3. The one I am wearing right now, with Jays and Kays adapter and a 22mm marine nationale strap, my black one with an aftermarket "combi" bracelet, and the SKXMOD all stainless steel one. Love them all.

[@kdbxaxe]

Totally agree, the best for money Great video

[@Paperfiasco]

This baby is the one that got me started on wristwatches, mine is the classic colorway just like the one you opened up here. Still by far, my top favorite Casio overall. The functions are great, easy as hell to use even with all those functions, it looks dope, and even the light is decent despite not being that sweet Electro Luminescence (granted, if it was, then it wouldn't have a 10yr life). In time, I'll be applying an SKXMod case to it get that stainless steel heft which might seem odd for what's a budget watch but I really want to beef it up for as many years as possible (and I'll keep the original body for sentiments sake). LOVE this watch.

[@younusimam-thesalamproject6340]

Love the AE1200. Love rapidly switching between the chosen timezones

[@newalex1970]

The best Casio there is ! Love your wife’s comment on your Watch collection. Keep up the great KZbin videos big fan Alex from N.J. USA

[@chriswilson3126]

Excellent vid as always. I love mine, got it on the metal bracelet but intending on getting a resin version too.

[@leojamesi]

I have bought this ae 1200 recently and its really amazing, used to switch and play with time zones

[@masterwong3837]

Yep! This is a must have for all Casio freaks. I'm wearing mine with steel bracelet on sundays and special occasions and right now while I'm watching this video. It's just unique and something special. Like no other watch, one of a kind.

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Hahahahaha love it my friend!

[@thisisadebrown]

Great review, great watch

[@frankgerace5997]

I also have 2 AE-1200’s-what a great watch!!

[@dott23]

So, i bought one of these about a year ago and fell in love. Very lightweight, waterproof enough, and just went with every outfit. I customized it juuuuust perfect, then lost it lol. Just got my new one, took off the excessive labeling, and keeping the rest stock. Don't be precious about it, don't guild the lily, it's a perfect watch right out of the box.

[@nickcarson6389]

Cracking review of a super little watch, Russ. Tremendous value for money and funky design. Well worth £30 of anybody's money. Do I own one? No. Do I want one now? F*** yeah haha

[@ladykoala208]

I just love this watch! I have 3 of them and modded all 3 lol. Love the ‘watch the wife thinks’. On that note, I am going to wear one of my modded ones this morning. Thanks Russ!

[@Soggz7785]

I love mine. Had it for a couple of years. When people see it, they say…’Ooh… very retro’. Don’t know why… All the best Russ.👍🏾🇬🇧

[@baldbearddad]

Wear mine in straight black. Love it.

[@Flint_Westwood]

Yep, a great timepiece indeed. I recently acquired the silver version with the stainless steel bracelet. I've since modded it with a kit from SKXMod. Next level now. Great video as always 👍

[@predragjo5977]

Imho the best Casio watch is W800 😄 It has 10 year battery, bunch of functions, is just the right size for 90% of people, has an amazing display, 100m WR and an amazing backlight.

[@Robin6512]

I had 2 and on both the sound was gone in 3 months or so. Bummer

[@brett233]

100% agree. I’ve owned this watch for a few years as my work watch and it’s awesome. All the robustness of a G-Shock in a much better size. For $20-$30 you really can’t beat it. I’ve tried a ton of different Casios under $50 and they all have under 100m water resistance, weak light and/or poor display.

[@predragjo5977]

@@Robin6512 Who the hell cares about the sound? 😄

[@predragjo5977]

@@brett233 Exactly. W800 is the only watch of this size with 100m WR, at least here where I live. Also, all other 100m WR models are bigger than W800. Its just a better version of F91 imho 😄

[@brett233]

@@predragjo5977 agreed! I find the F91W to be really small even on my small wrist. The W800 is the perfect size!

[@jamesgretsch4894]

I have that exact model Casio. I love it. Brings me back to 1984. Great watch.

[@Kalmar917]

I have to agree! Nice!!

[@spookmineer]

I can't believe it... I legit ordered one the day before yesterday, should be in by tomorrow! Been looking at some modding kits too, but not sure yet if I'm going that way.

[@davekat4680]

…..the ‘madman’ talked me into snagging one 🍻 relieved my black resin 1200 today 4/2/24 and it’s no disappointment. Removed my heavy daily wear diver and strapped this gem on. So light it feels cheap but the ‘coolness’. Subbed and 👍 cheers

[@sayannaskar9855]

Just bought the SS bracelet version.. loving it on my 7.5 inch wrist..

[@LouisGiliberto]

I have 3 of the Royales. I even got an SKXMOD set and updated to a full metal case and bracelet. Great watch.

[@mlaugh3]

you did great on this video. I will go see this at my local store!!

[@charleshowarth8461]

Just brought 2 for my sons who are in their 30s . Both software engineers. They love it! Thanks

[@Jim-iw1yd]

Very good. Very funny, and informative. I love my AE 1200 WH, it's the cool bees knees . . . and yes, submarine sonar type thingy 🙂

[@EffendiChung]

I bought a black ae 1200, but soon captivated by the ae 1300. The dot matrix day/mode display is the reason why. Looks much better than the 1200, except for the 3 barely useful dw 6900 esque second markers. But really not a deal breaker for me. The stop watch is awesome, the sports timer functions are surprisingly useful for daily use.

[@chriscon8463]

That might have been the best watch-unboxing I’ve ever seen.

[@ic5319]

I love my Royale, er, I mean my AE-1200! Great vacation watch, I set the different time zones ahead of time and I'm all set. Can even go swimming/snorkeling with it!

[@markhempenstall5379]

I got the stainless steel one last year its great I wear it to work nice and light and fits perfectly cheap as chips

[@paulsmith1807]

hahah - love the review as always and definitely want one. Just waiting for the tennis lessons now 🙂

[@pr0_burnage477]

i got an AE1200 as well and i love it. Highly recommend the jayandkays strap adapters for it. it lets you put on 22mm straps onto it

Love a good Casio video from MWC. It keeps me grounded in a world where everyone wants a bloody Rolex! Keep the content coming, lad 😊👍

Not yet seen a Rolex I like the look of even if I could afford one...which I certainly can't.

I have the gold one as well. Great watch!

Got to buy one of these!..❤❤❤❤

[@bigdaddympd]

I have this exact model and color, and it is one,of my favorites

[@steffenaarsnes8066]

Plenty of Casio freaks out there, but to be fair, no one's quite like you, Russ. ;) I have the black resin one and it's arguably the only watch I need, but I'm a bit ashamed to say it's the only one of my Casio's I haven't used after I took it off when I bought it 3 years ago. Luckily I still have some time left of the 10 year battery lifetime, lol Great show as always, and keep up the amazing content!

[@dannyg6592]

I've got 2 Casio Royales - one on stainless bracelet, one on resin strap. They are the best bang for the buck watches you can buy. I used the resin strap one as my travel watch last summer - it worked amazingly well as a travel watch, was very comfortable in the heat and humidity and can be easily set to display two time zones, which made tracking home time a piece of cake.

[@gabrielduran8755]

Excellent emotional unboxing!!

[@brianmsahin]

I am delighted to see this one Russell. Totally agree. Of all my watches this is the one I wear when traveling on business across time zones from Istanbul to Jakarta regularly. It's by far the best world timer, by far the lightest, by far the least troublesome as you don't even need to take it off going through the airport metal detector. I have the one with the green world map just to give it a bit of colour. Great video!!

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

That’s awesome Brian!!! Thank you!

Wonderful show again. ... ok you encouraged me to buy also a second one.

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Do it!!!;)

[@waffle911]

Fun fact: the AE-1200 is related to the DW-291, which is a 200m water resist budget alternative to a G-Shock; their modules and cases are interchangeable, and the DW-291 module is essentially a re-organized AE-1200 without the world map. The AE-1300 also uses the same form factor but does not share world time function with the other two.

[@MrModcat]

Hmmm - thanks - maybe try a DW-291 in my steel case to get the slightly larger time digits for my old eyes.

[@thehappywristchannel]

Another top-quality and entertaining TMWC video! Keep it up pal. Love my #octopussywatch, but the world time function on the AE1300 is more practical than attempting to read the time on that little analog dial on the AE1200…but I never leave my time zone so I guess that’s all irrelevant 😂

[@matthewbessey681]

Have owned the silver on the bracelet for around 8yrs, still original battery and I’ve recently swapped out the bracelet for the resin band from my w86 ! More comfortable on wrist.

Nikolai, I’m literally wearing this watch right now. Granted the black resin version. But I will agree out of all the Casio watches I’ve ever owned. This is the best value for money. And I will be getting the steel bracelet version soon.

[@danieljones3683]

I finally picked up an AE1200 a few weeks ago. It was on sale for $20. I was on the fence about the looks until I saw it in person. I really love it except the strap so I picked up a set of Jay's and Kay's adapters so I can use my 22mm straps.
