This $30 Casio Beats Everything Else (AE-1200WH)

[@mikhailjoe]

One of Casio's best watch....i would put this in their top 5

[@MrZoolook]

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.

[@rustynail6819]

Thanks for the quick review. The AE-1200 is a great watch. I had the one with the bracelet and ended up giving it to my son and he likes it. The bracelet was a bit sharp inside and irritated my arm. I love the features of world time, stopwatch, alarm and countdown timer and 100m water resistance. Considering getting the black one.

[@bestopinion9257]

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.

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.

[@malthus101]

which is the metal one?

[@minimalisthealth]

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.

[@todaysgrailtomorrowsbeater]

Bro I see you rising in the community. Bravo

[@choppergirl]

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.
