I have one of these, bought it on a whim, and it's turned out to be one of the most inherently accurately watches I've ever owned. Roughly +1.5 seconds every two months. Insanely good performance in such a bargain piece.
I own the khaki one (first on the left in your video). Absolutely the best beater watch one can buy today. I swim in it, no problem. Finally for Casio the time display digits are large enough to see comfortably at a glance, and there is none of the usual G-Shock silliness on the display, it's all business here. BTW, my wrist is 7.25", regular strap is plenty long and very comfortable, feels almost like a pre-molded synthetic bracelet (I dislike thin, wiggly straps). I wear it loose, and I still have 5 extra holes on the strap to let out. The only way I would see the point in the longer strap is if someone wanted to wear it over a warm jacket (like for hiking high up). Thanks for featuring them. Casio needs to keep making them for ever.
I bought like this watch because of this video. I was looking for a watch with big letters, and not a smart watch. I’m am mostly happy with my purchase. The alarm isn’t very useful in loud environments or even normal environments. I tend not to it beep so I am constantly looking at my watch. If Casio made this exact version but with vibration, I would buy it in a heartbeat. Also I agree that the light turns off a bit too short when you press it.
FYI, Stopped by my local Walmart this morning, they were carrying both versions of the AE1500, both the normal and long strap options! So Walmart does carry them, but they may still be less common than the standard variant. Great video!!
I will be working in a new area for a day or two and I am considering visiting all of the Walmart stores within a reasonable distance. It’ll be about 4 stores I haven’t visited before. We’ll see.
Really great review of a hidden gem, Thank you! . You showed a couple of features that I had no idea it had. This is one of my favorite no nonsense watches, it's the model I either recommend or give to older friends and relatives. The display is probably the best in terms of display visibility for people with poorer eye sight; the back light is very good for the price. The five alarms are simple to set and its easy see if they are active or not. If the user needs to set times for regular events such as pill taking. it's also robust enough unless someone is in G-shock territory. All this for $20! if you shop around. For someone who doesn't need all the world time gizmos I rate it better than the AE-1200.
- I have the khaki one cause it really stands out & is something other than black. This is one of the rare Casio watches that isn’t a G-shock & has a countdown timer! It’s an INCREDIBLE value for the money. 🔥
I also like the easy to push, pushers. I can’t STAND that recessed G-shock programming button. I have never accidentally pushed the pushers on this watch.
21:25 you have your g-shock 17 years...i have the G-7000 g-shock since 2004 never changed the battery still running ok...thanks for the video did helped me...just ordered one AE1500 (Greece)
I have this watch and let me tell you, casio made a classic again, the display is one of the best and the whole piece is a tactical looking beater, so cheap and so cool, I hope they improve it with more features that's all it needs
Can't beat these watches. Have had the Kakhi for about 2 years. Think when the battery dies will just get another color. Wear it during sleep also to use the light function. Detailed review. Thanks.
Love this Particular model have several units myself and excellent value at Walmarts 21.99. Great watch Large Display simply and High quality casio digital watch. Thank You for Your great video.
I'm glad I watch this. I was trying figure why hadx duel time on my watch now I know this I got two of these watches,black one I got from my dad after he pass ANDX blue greyish color. I got ten Casio watches diff kinds .love em.
Great review every single thing I wanted to know about this Casio . Just purchased the tan color case and band .love the legibility so easy to read . Also for being a larger case it's comfortable and the band is easy on the wrist. This Casio is a Winner in my book and will use it for construction work where I don't care what it bangs against.
I love this watch, daily driver as a fireman... But i really hope the modding community would get to make steel case and sapphire glass for this watch. i think base 1500WH beats many g shock when it come to screen legibility.
great looking watch. I'm planning on get 3 or 4 of them. only drawback, if you'd call it a drawback, is the "10-year battery" text on it. not sure why they had to advertise it. could be just to fill space but they probably could have come up with something a little better. other than that, love everything about it.
I have both of the long band versions and the tan version. Love the look of the tan watch, but the extra holes on the long bands make a big diff when they get sweaty. No irritation with the long straps but definitely had some with the shorter straps.
Thanks for the information! So, in your opinion, models with straps with two rows of holes (such as green and gray) are more comfortable and practical than other versions?
Hopefully these will come to Walmart soon. I'd like to see the colors in person before I buy. It's really exciting to see a digital display where the time is bigger than the W800H
I was able to buy the first two at local Walmart stores. But the Walmart stores around here have been changing over the last few months. Many have "downsized" their watch selection quite a bit.
Can you change the date format to day/month? Im from England and live in Australia, and both countries use that format. Otherwise this watch looks great for the price
Yo hace tiempo aquí en Madrid compré tres, el gris oscuro con pantalla negativa, el marrón claro con positiva y el negro con positiva solo tres. Tú tienes muchos 😂😂😂
in europe on amazon they costs around 40 euros! I got the orange one with the long strap at 34 euros though. Yeah they're cool but i don't think they're 40$ watches
Since I never get rid of any watches, maybe I need to do some kind of “Year in Review” update and then give a link to the last video which showed all of the previous acquisitions. Hmmm.
So this is where G-Shock got the GW9500 design from. Like literally the face and aesthetics. Gshock should've stuck with the gw9400 face and upgraded the exterior. Because this casio display looks much better than the Gw9500
Hi I want you to help me choose a watch of Quartz Casio high-resolution timekeeping watch and lightweight I don't like big-size watches and thank you very much
I've had the dark grey version with negative display, AE-1500WH-8BVEF, for 2 years. I think the negative display works very well given that the digits are so large. A nice side effect of the negative display is that the hot spots from the LED amber backlight are less visible. I use this watch daily around the home, for alarms and for timing things. I wish Casio would release this model with a mineral crystal and replace the plastic "screws" on the front with black metal screws to raise the premium feel. I would gladly pay extra for these features. A really nice watch for the price nonetheless.
The only thing that I find annoying is not finding any information on how to put a nylon strap on one.could you please address this as they make your wrist sweat
Here's a constructive feedback for you, Greg... You did measure the weight and you visually compared it to a square G-shock, but you could measure its thickness and diameter, lug to lug length, strap width. I mean, that's a basic thing to do when reviewing watches. Also, you could say more about the strap and how it feels... is it softer or more harder rubber/plastic, how hard is to change it, and could the watch even accept a 3rd party strap...?
I think that the lug-to-lug measurements make less sense for Casio's more rugged digital watches, which are typically much larger than normal watches. The resin straps are often shaped in a way to hug the wrist. My wrist measures 18.5 cm (~7.3 inches) and the watch fits me well. I never disassembled the strap, but the lug-to-lug distance looks like 47.5-48 mm. Thickness of case is 15 mm, 13 mm from base to crystal not counting the protective shroud on top. Diameter varies between 45-50 mm depending on where you measure. Strap width at the base is 27 mm which narrows down to 21 mm. The strap is not particularly soft in my opinion. The stiffness of the resin strap feels the same as on my basic G-Shock Square, DW-5600BB-1.
I don't think I understand the question. I didn't really move the camera when I made this video. I started and stopped a few times and zoomed in or out.
Accuracy is pretty good have a 5610 Square has no multiband, has no Bluetooth. Bought it and used it for a bit then left it for a couple of years sitting near the window pretty much forgot I had it. After about 4 years it was only 30 seconds out. Pretty shocked at that.
Wow. I have had an MRW-200 and that was gaining about 1 second every two months. My 40 year old G - shock (DW-5200 (Hero))is nowhere near as accurate but is still within Casio specs though. An amazingly well built watch.
I use my square (5610) as my beater watch. At work, at the beach and when traveling. That watch has been knocked against steel. Went into the sea with me. And in temperatures over 40 degrees celcius (104 degrees fahrenheit), and humidity of 92%. And still, it looks like new after 2 years.
Thanks for perfectly 👌 syncing the time on all 4 watches. Nice 👍
I have one of these, bought it on a whim, and it's turned out to be one of the most inherently accurately watches I've ever owned. Roughly +1.5 seconds every two months. Insanely good performance in such a bargain piece.
I also have an ae1500 and was very pleasantly surprised by it's accuracy with it being roughly +0.3 seconds every two months in my case.
I agree which is why I snagged one myself!
Casio should hire this man. Never seen a better detailed review
One of my favorite Casios. An absolute banger of a watch.
Excellent explanation
Edit: Also, If you press a b c at the same time the watch enters battery save mode.
I chuckled when you started pulling out not one, but two backup beater models at 22:00 😊
You are prepared for at least 3 lifetimes, sir.
Kudos!
Nice, i just got one like this yesterday, it was a gift, is black and i love it...
Mine too!

6 spots on my same Kakhi model. Bought for the larger numbers. Can't beat it. Would pay more for it.

"Hey, babe, wake up! New Greg Anderson video dropped."
Best of the best Casio watch for everyone 👍💪👍💪👍💪

Here's a tip. Tempered glass screen protectors designed for the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic (43mm) fit this watch perfectly.
Thank you ! With that, you tip the balance for me, bought a AE1500 with a tempered glasse screen protector, and I'm happy with the end result.
@@DapperX04 33mm
I can't get enough of my 1A, he's so bad A! I love it!
"If you're concerned it's not tough enough..." buy two!
I have one and i am in love with the dial so much that i have stopped wearing my square G-Shock. The dial on the G look so small to me now .

which is what exactly ?

Saya membeli 2 model
Versi hitam wh dan hitam whx
Menurut anda manakah yg lebih nyaman dipergelangan tangan apakah versi wh atau whx extra long strap?
I have both of the long band versions and the tan version. Love the look of the tan watch, but the extra holes on the long bands make a big diff when they get sweaty. No irritation with the long straps but definitely had some with the shorter straps.

The tan version will be here Thursday. I wanted something not black with a positive display after further consideration.
I just bought the black version at Walmart
That tan one is calling my name.
I basically came for the watches, but i don't mind sitting and listening to you reviewing some dust on a desk.
Thanks for the great review as always
Great video! Thanks! 😊
Can you change the date format to day/month? Im from England and live in Australia, and both countries use that format. Otherwise this watch looks great for the price
How do you set the day and date correctly ? everytime i set it , it either goes ahead or behind a day after noon or midnight . pls help
Yo hace tiempo aquí en Madrid compré tres, el gris oscuro con pantalla negativa, el marrón claro con positiva y el negro con positiva solo tres.
Tú tienes muchos 😂😂😂
Great watch, especially for the price ($22 at Walmart in 2024). Very easy to read the time quickly.
I have this the negative display ..it's a good watch .
Can we see both dual times on the same screen?
You're missing the new blue one which looks really nice.
thank you!
Have you reviewed the Casio SIL-s100h-4avcf tough solar watch series? Those are great…were great - I think they are discontinued.
in europe on amazon they costs around 40 euros! I got the orange one with the long strap at 34 euros though. Yeah they're cool but i don't think they're 40$ watches
How on earth did you sync them that accurately?
A great watch!
I have a 5.7 inches wrist. I've shortlisted W-736H-3AV, AE-1500WH-1AV and WS-1300H-1AV from Casio. Which one do you think would be ideal for my wrist?
I ordered one of these, but I’m feeling that I should’ve ordered the negative LCD one !
can you make this watch not beep when switching modes ?
Greg, I think it’s about time for an updated State Of The Collection video. Maybe it can be an annual event? 🤔
Since I never get rid of any watches, maybe I need to do some kind of “Year in Review” update and then give a link to the last video which showed all of the previous acquisitions. Hmmm.
@@GoodTimekeeper That would be fun!
A pity that the DT doesn't have an additional home time showing
Screen light must cover entire display like Timex indigo
If Casio added tough solar and multiband6 to this watch, it would be perfect.
I have this One,, green dark colour,, ❤❤
So this is where G-Shock got the GW9500 design from. Like literally the face and aesthetics. Gshock should've stuck with the gw9400 face and upgraded the exterior. Because this casio display looks much better than the Gw9500

Cool. Nice vid.
I have the negative display one, only one in the shop! Very sexy display! Super technology.
S$50/=
What the difference between 1500 wh and whx
Thanks
he literally explains this two minutes into the vid, you bozo
wheres the inverted one?
I used to have one, but I sold it, the AE1500 is way too big for my wrist.
Please let US know the Crystal is plastic or glass？
Plastic

Nice watch - 10 year battery! Watch band lasts for about a year! No way to find a way to replace the band.
Try wearing it slightly looser. I have a 17 year old G shock on the same band. Casio will have the bands in stock.
I JUST BOUGHT THE SAME WATCH THE WATCH IS FANTASTIC FOR THE PRICE WONDERFUL VIDEO
How did you move the camera away from the box when you took out the watches?
Moved the box away
I don't think I understand the question. I didn't really move the camera when I made this video. I started and stopped a few times and zoomed in or out.
I hate the plastic buckle in Casio watches.
G-Shock=metal buckle
@@sci-fyguy7767 yes but they should use in all models, even Chinese SKMEI uses metal only.
My buckle just broke and I’ve seriously considered buying a metal buckle
@@FaithThruGraceinChristAlone yes, they should use metal. cheap chinese watches use metal.
It sucks that it adjust only in one direction.
Nobody made comments on the “only 1 inch longer….” 😂 great video Greg!
✌🏼😎👍🏼
Every inch counts lol
I'd be interested in this but with solar and 6 band or Bluetooth built in.
❤
Accuracy is pretty good have a 5610 Square has no multiband, has no Bluetooth. Bought it and used it for a bit then left it for a couple of years sitting near the window pretty much forgot I had it. After about 4 years it was only 30 seconds out. Pretty shocked at that.

Hanya 1 Varian Digital Negatif anda tidak miliki, Padahal itu lebih keren...😊🙏
I have the negative version,but if they make this watch with mineral glass it would be so much better 🤤
