I sold my G-Shk for this one because I needed a simple LARGE Display ... I was ”Shocked” how cheap priced these were.... When I was younger I had a several thousand dollar swiss watch , gave those away.. Funny how as we get older plain simple practicality is all we care for
Got mine also from my wife. I'm rooting also that ours will last longer than the watch. Or else you'll be seeing me here again in the comment section 😂
It has been years since I had a watch that was "THE ONE". Back in my teens it was a Timex automatic, in my 30s it was a Timex digital that had the screw on back plate. I'm now pushing 60 and started looking for a watch with large characters and I stumbled across this one. Walmart had it for $19.92. They also had a khaki colored one that I decided to go back and pick up, but it was gone when I got there. I think I am going to stick with this one because it is the new "THE ONE". GREAT REVIEW, GREAT WATCH for anyone with older eyes.
Couldn't help but get one of these soon after they were release. IMO it's for folks who love the look of expensive Garmin and Suunto GPS fitness watches, but don't want to spend the dosh or need the features.
The trouble with so many Casio watches is unless you have good eyesight they are hard to read. This watch however is different. Love the big read out and the Dual time, Stop Watch, and Timer are a real bonus. Great value watch.
I'm wearing mine right now, in the Tan (€36) picked it up today, looks cool big old face with big numbers, 10 year battery which should last until January 2033 so that's nice. I have had a G shock for 10 years that cost €80 back in the day but I've spent around €150 on getting the batteries changed in that time.
I find it hard to beat Casio for regular affordable watches and agree with you to put one in the car, office desk and even a spare in the back pack. Great value back up watches that can be a daily wear too. I do find myself reaching for a G-Shock if any rough activity requires it though.
There’s also a smaller version of the analog MRW- series. It is called the LRW-, they are aimed at the ladies. I picked one up in black, with white markers and hands for my 7 year old son, who likes to admire my dive watches. He likes it a lot, and it fits his small wrist well!
You know nothing about Casios if that bothers you - they have been always "advertising" the features on their watches, from stating the battery is Lithium to WR. That was always pat of their charm, since 70's.
I really find it impossible to read the negative display on the wrist where you cannot perfectly line the watch up square with your eyes. The positive display is easy to read (kinda the whole point of this watch) and has a more pleasing black finish imo.
I bought a watch that has a dark display. So far it works flawlessly and is great for everyday use. However, I think that digital watches with bright displays are much more practical in situations where the light is reduced because the content on the display is more visible, so you don't have to use the watch's light. No matter which variant you choose, you won't have a problem, because the price/quality ratio is, in my opinion, optimal.
Nice watch. Rugged look, legible, has all the basic functions I need, and a 10 year battery life. I've been wearing mine a lot over the past two months. The acrylic crystal is a downside though. Mine has already collected a few fine scratches. I would have paid extra for a mineral crystal. No idea how much that would add to the prize, but it can't be that bad?
Before it gets a scratch on the crystal get a smartwatch tempered glass screen protector, they make them in all sizes, i put them on my protreks, if it gets scratched just peel it off and stick on a new one. saves the original crystal.
@@Simon5ez I don't know,get a set of digital calipers from someone and measure the face to determine the largest one that will fit ( i only have pro-treks that i did it to)
How did my least expensive watch become my favorite watch????? This watch is it, I have way more expensive G-shocks, Seikos, and Citizens, but this thing just became my favorite watch.
Very nice watch, unfortunately no options with the bracelet. Once upon a time, the Casio Forester series had a leather strap with a quick-release buckle. Maybe a Casio bracelet from a different model fits this model?
Outside of the 5600 my favorite g shock has been the lesser known ga-800-4a (red). The 41mm size is a much better feeling/fit than most of the larger round shocks like my mudman ga-9300 (51mm).
DBC-32! I like mine, but i´m not wearing it a lot. If the AE1500 would have a positive lcd display: yes, i´d pay $20 - although Casio models are absolutely always 2-3x the price in Euro on Amazon Germany.
Love this watch, but can't for the life of me understand why they put "10 Year Battery" on the face. It would be like a new vehicle coming with "30 MPG" on the hood. I have three variants of the white face seen here; and pound for pound you literally cannot go wrong with them. I keep one of them still attached to my pack as a backup and it's dead on accurate.
I really like the look of this but feel like it may be kinda big. But I guess that’s the point. Can’t beat that price though! Might have to check one out at some point
I have a negative display w800h and its borderline useless. Is this model any better? I know theres discrepancies in negative display casio legibilities watch to watch.
I bought the khaki positive display model. I got it to read at night without my glasses. Works well. November 2021 I got from Amazon for less than $20. I am thinking about hydromodding it. Will a G Shock NATO strap adapter work?
Anyone know the difference between AE-1500WH-5AVCF and AE-1500WH-5AVEF?One is US sold and other is Europe but is any other different things?maybe date format?
Since everyone these days have smartphones, wearing a watch is somewhat of a novelty since a smartphone can do everything a watch does and much much more!
Yes but not everyone likes "smart" watches I sold mine because I didn't like that you can be tracked also it ran out of battery all the time oh and also it kept notifying me with messages which is really annoying.
I have exactly this wrist size and the watch fits me like a glove. Often I don't even notice that I'm wearing the watch because it's so light and comfortable.

A watch you still can read after a few hours in the pub 🍻
😂😂😂🍻🍻🍻
So funny.
So true, this watch is fantastic for when I’m wearing my beer goggles 👍
😂😂😂😂
Rob, please make more videos about these cheap watches! Its fun!
Negative dial gives it a lowkey piece. Built like a G and great for daily use. Love it.

Love casios but wish they would stop advertising the “10 year battery” on the watch head. Put it in the instruction manual
They should put it on the inside bezel ring in a very small font size
I buffed it off.
just use goo away and q-tips and some time
@@brian_belanger It doesn't damage the bezel?

I like the negative display
-Not many “affordable” Casio watches come the much more useful countdown timer. 🔥

Thanks for the great info.

Considering I recently just scratched my G-Shock, acrylic is honestly a positive for me.
@@deadeyedsam850 great idea! what size tempered glass for this Casio AE1500? Thanks

Beast of a watch. Wearing my daily for work.

Same here
my only complain to these affordable casio is the screen easily get scratched. i dont mind paying a little bit extra for mineral glass
Wow I really enjoyed this video kept me entertained the entire way through. 1:20 was a great part.
29€ in Europe but great watch for the price, Perfect for kayaking 🌊
I like it a lot,I have a few G-Shock so I'm really interested in this one,for that price,great bang for buck,love Casio😃👍

Love this watch for daily use and installed tempered glass because this is not mineral glass. better than my ga-110gb

There are methods to remove them
@@brandonar868 which are?
@@fractalofgod6324 sanding it down, it's just painted on
@@renatoimperatori5289 nice one
@@fractalofgod6324 not sure if you think im joking or not but im dead serious they're painted on
Cool watch for a super low price.
How come no one goes over the timer/countdown on these digital watches? Can you set a timer for seconds?
The countdown on the Casio "Royale" does do seconds.
I love it this watch is waterproof ro not waterproof? Sir if it is waterproof, I will buy it.
I really like the look of this but feel like it may be kinda big. But I guess that’s the point. Can’t beat that price though! Might have to check one out at some point
I have a negative display w800h and its borderline useless. Is this model any better? I know theres discrepancies in negative display casio legibilities watch to watch.
great review . nice for help me buying guide
dont understand casio why the light not even last for 30sec for 1 press .
For some reason a larger digital watch is OK with me but a anolog watch must be sub 40mm.
I bought the khaki positive display model. I got it to read at night without my glasses. Works well. November 2021 I got from Amazon for less than $20. I am thinking about hydromodding it. Will a G Shock NATO strap adapter work?
Definitely run through a list of cheap Casios
This clock cost almost 100 dollar in Norway the year of 2023 :)
I cannot find this watch anywhere in the EU :(
Would love to have vibration alarm on it
Anyone know the difference between AE-1500WH-5AVCF
and AE-1500WH-5AVEF?One is US sold and other is Europe but is any other different things?maybe date format?
Oh boy, an unreadable negative display hockey puck.
Love the "military" label it gets. Just in case you don't want your enemy standing over your shoulder to read the time. Laughable!
True, its not legible even in ordinary room light.
What nato strap would you recommend for this watch
Can you put the combi bracelet or nato adapter on this watch?
I just ordered.
Are buttons plastic or metal?
For the Casio AE-1500, how do you change the battery without breaking the metal clamp holding it in place?
10 year battery. By the time the battery goes, just buy another watch.
@@jeffj318 Yay! 10 more years of have constant wrong time 😭
Is this a watch Bravo 1 in Seal team wear???
Does this watch have the Auto EL function where you tilt your wrist and the light comes on?
No.
Since everyone these days have smartphones, wearing a watch is somewhat of a novelty since a smartphone can do everything a watch does and much much more!
Yes but not everyone likes "smart" watches I sold mine because I didn't like that you can be tracked also it ran out of battery all the time oh and also it kept notifying me with messages which is really annoying.
Yep
Is it true that the glass of the watch scratches easily?
It’s not even glass lol. It’s basically plastic so yes it will scratch very easily.
How many millimeters is the glass?
I'm asking for the protector.
43mm
"Uh oh", shows tanline, lol.
The watch band broke after one month.
a bit chunky, feels like a clock on the wrist?
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Does it fit my slim wrist 17cm
I have exactly this wrist size and the watch fits me like a glove. Often I don't even notice that I'm wearing the watch because it's so light and comfortable.
😅 “I don’t know how it works, but I get like 5 bucks”
I hope this watch have tough solar :(
no
i had to pop that know what im sayin
In the philipines its being sold at $50 .. not cheap.
The watch is way too big for me but I am surprised you can get a watch for 20 dollars US.
Too large. Sooooo many Casios are really really small or gigantic. 53mm lug to lug...smh
if you're a female its true
It’s not bad for the price and what it does
Negative display is so bad, even at natural light, i returned it.
Those 6 ugly fake screws all around the bezel ruin it for me, even at this price.
You can add them in yourself
Bro it’s not that serious! It’s a great watch for $20! And it has some awesome features like 5 alarms, waterproof etc, that’s all I personally love it
Affordable garbage
LOL what's got your panties in a bunch
@@brandonar868 watch snobbery, lol
His mom is affordable garbage
Weak flex, bruh
Now Is 35 bucks wtf
