Classic Black Watch AE1200WH-1B

I use this watch when going outdoors or when I'm working out. I like the square shape of the watch and the map on the watch. It is a very practical watch and is extremely easy to read which is why I bought it. I sometimes even wear it just to wear because of how simple it is to read the watch. This digital watch was basically perfect for what I needed in the sports watch. It includes features such as dual time, countdown timer, stopwatch, and a light to read the watch at night. The face is around 40mm which I think is good size because I have a skinny wrist. The watch has an over greenish tint for the display which I personally like. I also like how the face is square shaped with makes it look a bit more unique compared to other sport watches in its category and price range. I have used this watch for a few months now and I think it is rather durable because I do no take any care to it and still looks as if I just got it. I would definitely recommend someone this watch if they needed something that could tell them accurately what time is and some basic features. The watch even has a world map function which I think is pretty cool but I personally don't use it that much because I don't move to different time zones.

I had been looking for the perfect digital or any watch really that meets all my "sport watch" needs. These included dual time, stopwatch, countdown timer, light and ability to see the time while any of those functions are in use in a light weight package, Being 100m water resistant with a 10yr battery is a bonus. It's also not huge like the casion pro trek watches which I find obnoxiously big (50mm case size @ 15mm thick? Really?). This is about 40mm square and maybe 12mm thick so really wearable. The strap is also thick enough to be sturdy yet pliable. It also has a neat amber light rather than the usual blue/green indiglo style light and this version has a slightly greenish tint to the display which I like and helps it not look like the usual "cold" display. The weak point is the plastic strap buckle rather than a metal one. I'm sure it won't break but it does bend a little and I can see it breaking if it gets caught on something. I'm sure there are plenty of other straps that fit with metal buckles and you could always rip the plastic one out and put a metal one in there if you wanted. All this for under $25.00 is a great deal to me for a watch that ticks all my "beater" watch functions. I will probably get another for backup since I finally found the feature set I want.

Saw this watch in different variations and this one stands out much better, with the green world map and gold accents. Lots of features, lightweight and sporty. All around excellent watch.

I’ve loved the Casio rectangular watches with faux analog display since I first saw them in the mid 1980’s. I purchased my Casio AE-9W (photo attached) with its “Analog Illusion, Digital Hands” (great moniker) in 1985 for $29.95 (equivalent to $68.00 in 2017 dollars adjusted for inflation). Thirty-two years later, it still works flawlessly and looks great. Only annoyances were that it lacked illumination and battery change is a yearly affair. When I saw the AE1200WH-1B I had to add it to my watch stable. Some have pointed out it's ten bucks more than the AE1200WH-1A that is the exact same watch without the green accent color but I like the color and it’s still $44.00 less than I’d paid for my AE-9W thirty-two years ago. Compare the two side by side in my photos: probably the cheaper AE1200WH-1A watch display has better contrast. The AE1200WH in either color variation offers great features and value; it’s easy to use, illuminated and attractive with a ten year battery life to boot. Only negative for me is that the watch case is pretty thick that makes it challenging to fit under long sleeve dress shirts. I was amused to read another reviewer touting how thin this watch is. He’s clearly accustomed to wearing manhole covers on his wrist. Overall; a solid recommend and an awesome value. Casio's US website only shows the AE1200WH-1A. You need to go to Casio's International website to find this -1B variant that indicates to me this is a non-US model that would account for the price delta. In the International website the -1A and -1B variants are shown as "color variations". BTW: Amazon specifications erroneously shows this watch featuring a mineral crystal - it doesn't. It's a resin (acrylic plastic) crystal, (see specifications from Casio Japan attached). Amazon lists the weight as 1.12 Ounces - it's actually 1.38 ounces. Amazon lists the battery as one LR44 battery - it's actually one CR2025. Amazon lists the watch as "Made in USA or Imported" - it's actually made in China. None of these miscues are significant - the watch is still a screaming great value. Buy one, you'll like it!

Es perfecto!

طول عمري نفسي أجيب ساعة كاسيو ديجيتال من وانا صغير، بسبب إن جدي -الله يرحمه- كان عنده واحدة مش بيقلعها خالص (اللي هي السيلفر القديمة دي بنسبة كبيرة هتبقى شوفتها كذا مرة في حياتك). قعدت أدور عالنت إيه الساعات الكاسيو الحلوة دللوقتي، لأن الموديل اللي كان مع جدي ده قِدِم قوي. وكان في دماغي شوية صفات أساسية بدور عليها: 1- تكون شكلها retro كده، قديمة بس فيها لمسة مودرن شوية. 2- تكون عملية، حمولة، ومريحة (محسش بيها وأنا لابسها). 3- تكون أصلية، وفي نفس الوقت مخرمش محفظتي من غلاها. المهم كعادتي لما بعوز أشتري أي حاجة، قعدت أدور يومين ورا بعض وYouTube بالعبيط، لحد ما رسيت على الموديل ده (AE-1200WH). كنت في الأول هجيب السيلفر منها بس تراجعت عن قراري لما عرفت من مراجعة عاليوتيوب ان جسم الساعة نفسه مش stainless steel ومطلي، والطلاء ده بيتخربش مع الوقت. لما شوفت الأسود منها عجبتني جدًا برضه، بس لما شوفت اللي بالمينا الصفرا دي عينيا لمعت ولمست معايا بطريقة مش طبيعية. فكرتني بأيام المدرسة والآلة الحاسبة، والجيم بوي والأتاري والزمن الجميل ده. الساعة وصلتلي وفعلًا طلع فيها كل المواصفات اللي كتبتها فوق دي باستثناء انها حمولة دي عشان لسة مقعدتش معايا بما فيه الكفاية، بس كده كده إن شاء الله هعيد على المراجعة دي في المستقبل بعد ما استخدمها شوية. الساعة خفيفة جدًا بس مش لدرجة انك تحس انها معمولة من خامات فقيرة لأ بالعكس خالص. اضائتها تحفة وفكرة انها فيها توقيتات مختلفة بخريطة للبلاد دي تحفة وهتبقى ملائمة جدًا لأي حد بيسافر بصفة مستمرة. انها فيها الوقت ديجيتال وكمان الدايرة الصغيرة فوق عالشمال دي أنالوج (عاملة زي الرادار كده) بجد تحفة. شكلها حلو قوي على ايديا برغم انها طلعت أصغر حجمًا مما كنت متخيل.

Its an icon. Nothing more to add

Es un Casio de tamaño comedido. Ni tan grande como un gshock ni tan pequeño como el clásico f91. Contiene múltiples funciones como varias zonas horarias, alarmas, temporizador, etc. Tiene un diseño y unos colores, a mí juicio, preciosos. Es, sin duda, una vuelta a los 80, un viaje en el tiempo, un reloj necesario para aquellos que disfrutaron de los digitales de la marca en su infancia o juventud.

Seems i got the spoilt set , clearly shown the seconds digit didnt shown fully , also DST can’t be turn off
