    I’ve got the Tan AE-1500. It’s amazing. The huge numbers sold me instantly and I was lucky enough to catch drop day. Small wrists and it still sits so nicely. Inarguably; Casio knows that this budget beater shames the entire G-Shock line on readability alone. I own a compass; I don’t need an altimeter, barometer, or GPS in my watch. I need ~readability~.

    I have an AE1500 and I absolutely love it. I’m in Fire and Rescue and it’s been well and truly tested and has passed with flying colours. I love the big easy to read display. I alway hoped that Casio would make a G shock version and I thought they had with the new Mudmaster. Unfortunately, I returned the Mudmaster as the display was so much smaller and the contrast was very poor when compared to my AE 1500.

    A really enjoyable, practical watch review. I like the fact that you test stuff out on the oil field.
    It helps massively. I build concrete tanks, lots of bashing it against mesh, and so far my best watch with a big screen is my Duro, with a sapphire mod. Even my Seamaster fell apart at the clasp.
    Digi watches, yeah they're cheap and replaceable but there's only so many times you keep buying a Royale or a calculator watch before it's a false economy.
    Gshock displays are tougher, but always poor to read.
    I now have a GBD, but it's too damn thick, which is a shame because it's party trick is when you tilt your wrist, the backlight comes on which is killer when working into the night.
    So anyways, to say, this one you reviewed, with a screen protector, may be the one to try next. Thanks. It's £12 here in the black Friday sale in the UK. Unbelievable value

    I got the GBD200 and i fell in love with the MIP display. Readable on any angle, watch is sturdy and durable. Only drawback is the battery drain. My first Casio bought with my own money was a 50$ AE1200WH. Absolutely beautiful and pretty sturdy, too. I still have it chucked in a box just waiting to replace the battery to keep it alive.
    The AE series are imo the best thing Casio has come up, aside from the Gshock. They're decent and very affordable. An AE casio is the best entry point for anyone on a budget that needs a good, reliable watch.

    Hey Jim, the gbd-h2000 and that whole family count down timers are meant to be used for interval training. You can set it up to 60 minutes but you have 5 of those and you can set them to repeat. In maximum it goes up to 24h. It is annoying but it’s not really a countdown timer. If you use it to track intervals or sets in the gym it’s ok. I have gbd-h1000 and it took me a while to figure it out.

I mostly use it as an alarm clock for waking up in the morning, and for timing things in the home, like cooking and stuff. It gets a lot of use. I think the negative display has pretty good visibility due to the the large digits, and I think it also helps to hide the "hot spots" created by the LED backlight. Perfect display for checking the time when I wake up in the dark.

    There are so many amazing aspects about Casio watches but also so many infuriating details! Negative displays are quite simply a joke if you want a watch to actually tell you the time with. In low lighting levels as encountered in many homes it can be a real struggle. It's crazy! I have many Casio watches even a couple with negative display but I always buy ones with a positive display if one is available. Even the MIP display, whilst a good deal better than the more usual negative LED displays, it is still no match for positive displays. I too have an AE1500 and love it - makes me smile every time I look at it and ponder it's ridiculous dimensions!

      I disagree on considering MIP worse than positive LCDs, as the MIP displays have perfect viewing angles while the LCDs do not.
      Especially the classic style LCDs significantly fade out, but even the good modern ones do.
      Straight on, their contrast might be better, but I'm personally trained on reading white-on-black text better so that doesn't work for me.
