@@Simplifier123 Why ? Because steel looks so much nicer than plastic. For people who don't like the extra weight, there is still resin. A bit like G-Shocks. (Although in case of G-Shocks, I have a square made in steel. But I much prefer to wear my resin one.)
Thanks for the band adjustment illustration. I was able to finally adjust my Casio blue face dress watch after about ten years. I never wore it because it was too big for my wrist, but now I'm able to. Thanks again.
I got one of these a few months ago without knowing it was a cult classic. I love it to death and bought a second one in black to modify a few days ago. Also don't forget you can choose to have the backlight shine for either 1.5 or 3 seconds.
@@Karlenk0 when you are adjusting/setting the time, one of the options you can cycle through just says "1" by default, but you can toggle it to "3" by hitting either one of the right side buttons. This switches between being on for 1.5 to 3 seconds.
Awesome vid yet again. I have this particular watch in my collection myself. I never miss a vid when you talk about casio watches. As always looking forward to your next vid 😊
The accuracy of my bronze version of the same, is a remarkable +/- 1.5 seconds a month! For that I am most grateful. For my professional job I've had a Breitling Emergency for 5 years. Still, my love remains for Casio of which their highly styled G-Shock GWN-1000, used for boat fishing. Anyway, many thanks for this super-informal vid on this lovely Casio version in silver and your helpful setting-up feature.
Very detailed and comprehensive video. I am going to get this watch soon and was wondering about it's various functions, so this video was just perfect. 👍
Seriously awesome review. Bought the black resin version a few days ago and was curious about navigating the features. Your video helped a lot. Thanks!
If you are averse to the dark inner surround, I found one that has a light grey color instead of black. It still has the white text and this makes all the features listed blend in with the surround. I used alcohol to clean off the “10 year battery” and “world time” text to declutter the bezel. It looks much cleaner than having all the text everywhere.
I've got this watch for 4yrs now. I bought a new casio digital watch and plan to give the casio royale to my wife. After wearing the new watch for 10mins, I took it off and gave it instead to my wife. 😁
I took the "World Time / Illuminator" off mine today with a couple q-tips, some 91% rubbing alcohol, and about 3-5 mins of vigorous rubbing. It looks so much better!
Thx for the video. Had this watch in mind for a long time, and always believed it was from the Casino Royale movie, but never got to rewatch it. I really like the idea of the watch, and will probably end up buying it, but I dont see myself wearing it. Feels kinda large given the specs, and other Casio watches.
I think the (mm - dd) to (dd - mm) date option should be switchable. I think if the world map display could be also switchable for a BIG display day of the week as a two way option as well.Would greatly improve the watch popularity. You do a wonderful job here explaining everything. Keep up the good work.
I bought this watch a week ago and replaced the watch band with a modified silicon band and it is now a very comfortable watch to wear. I also removed the illuminator and world time lettering because I saw how easy it was to remove. Your instructions on how to set the watch and use the features was terrific. I have 3 other Casio watches one of which is a triple sensor mud master and I enjoy this inexpensive watch as much as the pricey mud master. So thanks for the comprehensive review.
How's the watch overall? I don't usually wear watches. I used a Mi band 4 for two years. I bought it out of curiosity, and it's an ok one. I want to buy a watch with steel bracelet. I'm a medium sized guy. I liked this watch because of the design of dial. Would you suggest this watch? Or is there other suggestions that have metal bracelets? My budget is under $40.
Very good video. This is the first video from you that I've watched. Very through review. The watch looks very cool and it seems to be an amazing bang for your buck.
This watch is the apotheosis of 21st century technology. From sun dial to the torbullion, the quest for accurate time keeping thought the centuries was finally achieved & perfected with this cheap japanese casio watch.
You can turn the beeps off if you want to. I tend to like the hourly beep but I have to keep it turned off most of the time because it bothers my wife at night and because I do a lot of work in which I am recording audio.
I wanted to get the metal one at first. Metal is hard and the case is plastic. It's doesn't make sense to get. I got the $20 black and gold or bronze. Coolest watch I own.
Can you please add the alarm sound for us to hear, as some alarms r so soft, i could not hear them muffled by clothing, so need to ensure i like the sound, thanks!
To me, the alarms on this watch are basically the same as the alarms on the vast majority of my other Casios. Here’s a video I made a few weeks ago about alarms on my watches. ruclips.net/video/IIbPrZQ7QHs/видео.html
Great review Greg !! Do you know what the letters AE stand for on Casio watches? I have a AE 1300 watch as well. I tried to look up the prefix codes, but they only have them for G-Shock group.
Hi bro, planning to buy this ae 1200wh. Thanks for u r review But have one question , how is the dial colour holding up , has the silver colour faded or torn off. The black one has no issues, but not sure about the silver colour coating
I bought one of these yesterday. Now I remember why I went back to happy little analog watches that I could set without having to have a degree in nuclear physics. I don't want to launch the space shuttle. I just want to know what time it is.
Hi Greg, thanks for your another great presentation in sharing the tutorial of AE-1200. I notice your additional Dual Time (T2, T3, T4) displayed PM on the left. On mine, when I select NYC, LON, PAR, I do not see AM/PM. My Home Time is set to SIN and it displayed a AM/PM on the left. Do you know why mine Dual Times are not displaying AM/PM ?
This Watch clearly looks nothing like the Seiko Watch. The only similarity is they both have an analogue clock in the left hand side of the screen. But even the analogue clocks look completely different. The Casio has a map on the screen. The Seiko doesn't.
Hello friend, please can u do a review for casio db 360, there is an option in the screen i did not know how to activate it, so if u have the watch i hope u do a review
Hi. i use casio AE-1000W right now. suddenly world time feature disappear and i don't know why. at bottom left, country code change to DT (dual time?). please help me to get this feature back. thx
I love that you're collection of Casio is in a display case like a luxury watch collection. Sign of a true watch hobbiest.
Wished that Casio would make an all steel version of this watch.
Why? It would just be heavy and uncomfortable.. it’s so light and comfortable as is
@@Simplifier123 Why ? Because steel looks so much nicer than plastic. For people who don't like the extra weight, there is still resin. A bit like G-Shocks. (Although in case of G-Shocks, I have a square made in steel. But I much prefer to wear my resin one.)
Agreed
@@MrPleers make it out of steel completely cancels the whole idea of the watch. And what stops you from modding it anyway?
@@misterlove6225 I prefer to have it all original. Made by Casio. Not "AlieExpress".
This video should be the official “watch before you buy” video!!!! You did a great job man. I am gonna get mine tomorrow!
I got one in resin which was the best 20 bucks I ever spent

He shows it in this video at 13:06
Omg yeah i saw it in a shop and decided i needed it, was pleasantly surprised to find out it was loved by a lot
The definitive walkthrough on this piece for sure. Well done thanks.

Hallo Greg,
I received mine today! Used your review to set it! Great addition to my collection. Thanks again.
Very detailed and comprehensive video. I am going to get this watch soon and was wondering about it's various functions, so this video was just perfect. 👍
Excellent review and I am a proud owner of one of these world timers. Super fun watch.
Seriously awesome review. Bought the black resin version a few days ago and was curious about navigating the features. Your video helped a lot. Thanks!
Length of strap?
This guy's videos are so excellent. Its unfair that they don't get as many views as others.
If you are averse to the dark inner surround, I found one that has a light grey color instead of black. It still has the white text and this makes all the features listed blend in with the surround. I used alcohol to clean off the “10 year battery” and “world time” text to declutter the bezel. It looks much cleaner than having all the text everywhere.
That would save me time reading the manual. Good clear video. Thank you.
I've got this watch for 4yrs now. I bought a new casio digital watch and plan to give the casio royale to my wife.
After wearing the new watch for 10mins,
I took it off and gave it instead to my wife. 😁
Another wonderful episode Greg. Thanks for all your effort. Much appreciated.
I just bought one and ordered the Bond two pieces strap for a more enhanced 007 experience. Fantastic review with great detail.
The only best video regarding this watch out there. Thanks so much for your depth review on this watch.
The way you show and explain eact feature and function is so awesome and great.
Really loved it.
Just Love that watch...it got a charm to it...Would Love Casio to do a Premium version of it...!!!
In my eyes the only thing they could do to improve it is to make the case stainless steel...the rest is pretty solid
@@GTnicholas At the least, EL backlight is a necessity. It’s still bright enough to read, but to me it isn’t a true Casio “Illuminator”
I took the "World Time / Illuminator" off mine today with a couple q-tips, some 91% rubbing alcohol, and about 3-5 mins of vigorous rubbing. It looks so much better!

@@gverb1950 Thanks.
How to remove the lettering?
Remove the letters by rubbing them with a pencil eraser.
Just ordered the AE-1000W-2A2VCF, which is round, in blue face. Very scarce, was lucky to find it. Thanks for the comprehensive, useful review.
I have this charming and inexpensive watch. Just this and a Rolex ExII ...
It actually gets quite a lot of wrist time!
one of the classic watches from Casio
Great video. I have a "gold" and black one ordered. As mentioned somewhere below, this vid should be treated like the definitive manual for the watch!
Just got one for like $20 on Amazon, the basic all black resin one, had a nato strap I was going to throw on and eventually diff color dispaly
Awesome watch, just got the all black version, now I want all the old vintage casios too.
I absolutely love my Ae1200. Have the silver and the black version.
You're a great reviewer, very thorough indeed.
Thanks for your humble knowledge very informative I shall going to buy this watch . please keep updating such content.
Thank you.
Very nice way to make videos. I'm going to link this. Well done
Very thorough review. The only thing I wish someone would cover is the sound of the alarm. Thanks
I have this version as well as two others, your take on it is awesome, keep it up brother !!
Very good video. This is the first video from you that I've watched. Very through review. The watch looks very cool and it seems to be an amazing bang for your buck.
Cool watch for the money. Nice for times when a Casio G-Shock is too tactical for the office.
Best review of this watch the others dont show how to mute the watch and that the timer can be set down to the seconds.
Excellent review!
Excellent video! Many thanks 🙏
Great vid.
Thank you. I just bought one of these and it came two days ago.
Thank you.
For $20 does all these things and the all black version looks great with a black t-shirt or any black, short-sleeved, shirt.
Just bought mine at wally world for a decent price 20 bux... Feeling so blessed
@@Bungle2010 its shorthand for walmart
Great video. Lots of people modding these now. Very cool especially if you have a open slot to fill in your watch box.

Thanks a lot just got my Casio Royale I set it up immediately and I love it already
bro does it's plastic body felt cheeper
will be hyped when it comes in full stainless steel or even titanium version...

This was a helpful review. Thank you!
Thnks for the review! Does it mean that the watch beeps every hour then? Hmmmmm can't imagine it happening in the movies or in long meetings...
You can turn the beeps off if you want to. I tend to like the hourly beep but I have to keep it turned off most of the time because it bothers my wife at night and because I do a lot of work in which I am recording audio.
Amazing job! Just what i needed. Thanks!
Great review thankyou

None of the variations of the "Casio Royale" are made of metal - only the bracelet on the silver version. The case itself is painted plastic.
doesn't matter
Yup, and priced accordingly.

Hi bro, planning to buy this ae 1200wh.
Thanks for u r review
But have one question , how is the dial colour holding up , has the silver colour faded or torn off.
The black one has no issues, but not sure about the silver colour coating
Love the retro design but my eyes have problems on the small display
thank you, was very useful.
I bought one of these yesterday. Now I remember why I went back to happy little analog watches that I could set without having to have a degree in nuclear physics. I don't want to launch the space shuttle.
I just want to know what time it is.
Hi Greg, thanks for your another great presentation in sharing the tutorial of AE-1200.
I notice your additional Dual Time (T2, T3, T4) displayed PM on the left.
On mine, when I select NYC, LON, PAR, I do not see AM/PM.
My Home Time is set to SIN and it displayed a AM/PM on the left.
Do you know why mine Dual Times are not displaying AM/PM ?
What would you say the minimum wrist size is?
Guys which one should I get? Black Resin band or metal band?
I just got the black resin. I personally don't like the foe metal look.
Great review!
Brilliant vid thanks for your details
Excellent review : )
Thats AE 1000 casio worn by spiner in the movie MINE...if im not mistaken....
Nice touch with the exact same time on the watches
Great video - thank you! Regarding the resin case, when it gets scratched or scuffed is it black underneath the silver colour?
Great overview!!!
Very good at explaining Thank You
Thanks for the details

Hello friend, please can u do a review for casio db 360, there is an option in the screen i did not know how to activate it, so if u have the watch i hope u do a review
Cool 😎
great review!
I have no "little holes" to insert any kind of tool on the stainless steel arrowed links on my new Casio Edifice mod5564 eqs-800
How would you set the hourly chime ?
Activate the alarm labelled "Sig".
thank you for sharing, very informative
why on every page talks about james bond watch, theres no mention about casio in casino royale? im just curious
@Leigh Duxbury thank you for your explanation
Hi. i use casio AE-1000W right now. suddenly world time feature disappear and i don't know why. at bottom left, country code change to DT (dual time?). please help me to get this feature back. thx
Mr. Greg can you review the CASIO Wave Septa Radio Control WV-59J-1AJF ..
Great review
Thank you.
@@GoodTimekeeper good info by the way...
Still have it and if so do you recommend after all this time?
Thanks! Just found this watch, and, couldn't set my day; realized I had the wrong month displayed...😖!
The outer case *is* chrome plated/metallic painted plastic. Should have been solid stainless steel, what a pity.
For less than 30bucks
Can't complain much for the price 🤷♂️
I didn't even notice until the internet told me it was so.
They should make stainless steel version thats is more expensive. I want that watch with a premium feeling
Can you tell me which region Georgia is in. I couldn't set the exact time.,
What is the watch on the left? Is that watch metal plated unlike this watch?
How do you adjust the band to fit your wrist?
Can the alarm be set on just on weekends
great video
People compliment on my watch a lot. It's cheap. It says "I have good taste and I don't care". 😁
This is a great watch for under $20 at Walmart.
Great review. Next time maybe you could show a wristshot ;)
