Loving these MEASURED sound level vids of the alarms. Excellent! One thing that is surprising is that the lower frequency beeps of the same Db level sound much louder to me. Old ears, I guess. Thanks for a very useful video!
The old expression "It's not what you say, but how you say it..." came to mind when I saw the reference to the video "My Top 10 Loudest Casio Watches!" in the description above. I would have labeled it "My Top 10 Least Inaudible Casio Watches!" From a lifelong Casio fan (and owner of more Casio's than I care to remember) who's enthusiasm is going down-hill fast, thanks to this long-standing Achilles heel, especially after my most recent purchase of a G-Shock GMW-B5000D which had me wondering why they even bothered adding an alarm.
Previously commented on the volume of the AE1500 you did. Watching this very informative video I realise that what matters to me rather than raw dB output is the frequency. My 68 year old ears prefer something around 8KHz rather than 10KHz. Thanks for putting this together, like I said on the AE1500 video few people bother to check whether you can hear the alarm signal. Interestingly on the G-Shock 5610U I could hear the button press tone but none of the alarm tones. Perhaps you need a bat signal transducer when you use the G-Shock!
Thank you for commenting on both videos and I hope that the Casio AE-1500WH works out for you in terms of it beeping. All I would say is that the video you have watched isn't in anyway 100% accurate or scientific. I had to push some of the audio levels, which I think I had mentioned at the start of the video, as I was having a few microphone issues myself when recording the alarms so please bear that in mind when you do go to pick up your shiny new Casio AE-1500WH. You will have to tell me how you got on with it and if it was the watch for you! Good luck! Cheers, Tony - WTA
Great video! I've got high frequency hearing loss, so I cannot hear most Casio beeps. I did notice on your video that some had a lower tone frequency that I could hear through the laptop speakers such as the W86 and the F108. Your video shows that tone frequency can be much different than decibel level.
A very interesting video. I find the alarm volume on all Casios to be much too quiet. I can't hear anything at all on some of the watches in this video, why is that?
Not sure I am afraid as I had amplified the volume when editing the video question. The Casio A163 is the loudest watch by far and if you ever get the chance to visit a Casio retailer it may be worth asking to see the watch you like and test the alarm out in real life to see if it suits your audible needs. Hope it helps! Cheers, Tony - WTA

Heyy.I need small help can you suggest a casio watch with the following features ,......1)it should have repetative countdown vibration timer for every 5 min ..it should continue untill i stop it..do you know anything like that😊..as sound is a problem at my work place I need vibrating repeating timer
To be honest I couldn't even begin to suggest a watch of this type as the only vibrating watch I have come across is the Casio W-735H. Unfortunately, the Timer Countdown mode built into the Casio W-735H doesn't have the auto restart feature that you are after which would allow the Countdown Timer to restart after 5 minutes. It might be worth popping onto a Casio forum and see if anyone else can help you. Sorry I cant be of any more help. Cheers, Tony - WTA
@maniraj2930 Can't suggest any Casios, but the TImex Expedition XL Shock does this (but it's HYUUGE). As well, the Timex 49851 (out of production, but available online) is a bit smaller, and also does this. They both use large CR-2032 batteries, but the XL is a PIA to change (because the gasket is finicky), whereas the smaller 49851 is super easy. And it you use the Vibe alarm on auto-repeat, you will be changing them frequently. The alarm can also be set to Combo, where it vibrates and then beeps loudly. And it flashes at the same time. All this uses up a lot of power though.
