This was apparently first available in October 2012. I must've got it close to that launch date when I was still in the UK. I upgraded to a smart watch about 3 years ago, and this has been sitting in a basket gathering dust, until I found it just now. It is just 2 minutes off of the correct time, and still functional on it's first (pre-installed) battery. Amazing quality for its price point.

My daily driver. I get, "what kind of smartwatch is that, it looks really cool!". I've let people look at it and the first thing they do is tap the screen, LOL!!!

One of Casio's best watch....i would put this in their top 5

Great review. Deserves more views for sure.

Bro I see you rising in the community. Bravo

Just got one in military green with a green nato strap. A beauty!

Wasn’t sure if I was looking at the right model online. Just purchased thanks to your review!

Definitely worn a lot with all the minor scratches, just purchased. Thanks for the review.

I have a black one, it's one of my favorite watches ever!

great vid, many thanks, Sir!

Casio w-800h modified with countdown timer definite number 1 ever! Nice review thanks 👍🏻

Modifying them is where the fun is at.

Purchased because of your video. Thank you

My main watch is a Cartier Roadster Chronograph but I've just ordered one of these from Argos for £22! Incredible value.

I have one in the mail, I'll get it tomorrow, quite excited

I just picked up one of this last month and I’ve been wearing it ever since.

I have this modified with most of writing removed and a yellow filter. Recently bought the gold/ bronze coloured one with rubber strap. Love them.

Just bought the 1200whb, green case, green strap. LOVE IT!!! 🙂

Love how they call it the Casio Royale, because CasioPussy just sounds wrong.

Can you link the same brown leather strap featured in the video? Makes a stunning combo!

I just received mine today. I was feeling very nostalgic and wanted to have a Casio and I am very pleased with my choice. So much so that I decided, I’m gonna get the Michael J. Fox one back to the future and Sigourney Weaver from aliens.

Get the metal one and put on a brown leather strap...really nice steam punk/smart look. It's easy to fit any 24mm leather strap, just use a razor blade to cut mini squares out at the spring bar hole.

I absolutely love this watch and especially the bracelet. Okay, its folded, but that's for me the charme of this vintage style watch. And its very comfortable and at least in my case no hair pinching at all.

yellow colour mod the screen, brown leather strap.. looks amazing

GREAT video... I have just bought myself this exact watch today for just £29.99GBP. You simply CAN NOT buy a better watch for £30 It looks far more expensive ..This is Casio Watch number 20 in my Casio watch collection Long live Casio

Just brought one, and skmei 1335 love the backlight

Just bought, going to pair with mesh metal strap, Should be one of my Best watches---- Cheers mate ---Nicholas

The style defo looks a tad geeky but I really love that especially as it also looks stylish

Man that swipe at DW was brutal! ☠️ You should do it more often. 😏

This is the best world traveller watch, I know lots of executives that could have an expensive watch that use this when they travel and for every day work, particularly engineers, architects and in the luxury car industry

great watch and its back in stock in argos for £29!

I have one and I love it

Very nice watch, lovely.

I got mine 6 years ago (ae-1000w) sat behind my couch for 3 years, I had mark time on so I heard the double beep every hour. Once I finally found it and it was only 3 minutes off

I like this I’m gonna buy soon in Dubai

Just order it hope its what like you say

I just picked this watch over a Daytona.

I have black resin one, with gold.ish display. The straps suddenly disintegrated after 4 years. Got identical straps but blue color. I hope they will last similar time. If not, I will buy a whole watch next time instead of straps replacement. Hint: If you buy black resin one (not coated) you will not see scratches nor wear and tear on that coating. Mine looks great after 4 years with new blue straps.

Have the black color way but the SS bracelet model is calling me 🤣 cheers

My daily driver. Love it.

Casio should make a limited edition of this beautiful watch. Sapphire face with titanium body on a negative display ❤

I have ae-1200wh-1b. Best fckin watch in history 🎉🎉🎉❤

I used it more than 7 years and still running but there is a black area in the middle of the screen but still counting the time 😅 casio fan❤

Picked it up for £20 new this month when my g2210 broke.

Had mine since June 2017. Never missed a beat. My only beef with it is the cheap build.

hey, i just bought the steel edition, like 3 days ago and i am so excited to get it.... costs 42€ for me what is good in Germany.

سوف اشتري واحدة مثلهة معجب بها منذ وقت طويل

Bought today for £24.95,so excited!!

I can't able to find this watch in amazon don't know why

I just wish the analog part of the watch had real hour, minute, and seconds hands , other than that excellent watch . Casio should actually revive this watch and offer it with titanium case and sapphire glass. Heck I’ll buy it 😊

I'm from India I bought but i found difficult to adjust watch setting

I wonder if the word "illuminator" on the case would actually go off over time?

Wait until you see the AE-2000W. Same functions but a mineral crystal, a stainless steel insert instead of painted plastic and 200m WR rating.

That's my watch!

1:33 The moment you said "Pure Crap" to ĎW, I had to Subscribe 😂👍‼

Casio is an amazing company.👍 July 2, 2023 P.S. You forgot to mention the 10-year battery life.😊 P.P.S. Your Review is excellent with such spot-on comments! (I'm just waking up here.😁)

I have the round version (AE1000) in silver and orange which I love. ❤ Could this be called the "Royale with Cheese" perhaps?!

U will soon get 100k subs

It's the best watch under 30k ever made!

It has a very loud alarm louder than most watches it's got a neat little world map dual time five alarms stopwatch you can even change the alarm going off once a day or everyday but I must say this watch has the loudest alarm of any watch I've owned I have owned many Casio watches the really expensive ones you can't hardly hear the alarm I have owned Armitron from cheap watches to the expensive Casio watch but this watch is really a good watch for the money Casio is good at making watches but I would not buy an expensive Casio because the complex watches are likely to break down leaving you're stuck with a broken watch and no warranty from Casio so I advise you not to spend more than $30 on a watch

One day♥️

1:33 lmao

We can just say how much he wore it by looking at the watch

just been looking at this 7 months on cannot find this variant for £30 in uk now..

Nowhere can I seem to buy it anymore in India. Its out of stock everywhere, been looking for more than a year now. Breaks my heart 😢

C1552F00N-104 - what's this then?

how to check if the watch is original or no? please help

Why is my ae1200 have the wrong timezone like 1 hour behind?

unfortunately my 1200's screen starting to burn in the center.

Love mine ( a gift from a very discerning friend) .

Bro so buying this watch is better or good please reply bro

Is the crystal glass or resin ? Getting conflicting info even on Casio's own website. I see scratch marks on your crystal here .

I like the watch, but mine got some water spots on the inside of the glass after i took a bath with it on.

I've owned one for a year...but I don't think I'm an exception LOL.. Who doesn't have a 'Casio Royale'??? 😀😀

How to feel like Big Boss

Which means AE , prefix never found it

Why did you leave out the function of the upper right-hand corner. That poor little display always gets left out....😔

Should admit that the steel version suits your wrist better than the resin band.

I have SKMEI 1335 just under 10 dollars same like Casio AE 1200.

I am confused between black and metal strap..... Which one do you think is the best? 👇

The shade on DW hahahaha

It would deserve a steel case and hardened glass...to blow the mind, lol.

casio lf-20w please

I think the A500W is better, more refined.

I got one with crocodile straps(special made)and everybody who dont know the watch thinks its a 10000$ watch

Why is the one you are showing so scratched ?

31 world time zones on a planet that only has 24?

Not much content around the functions of the watch!

you haven't checked the Casio A500, it may be better than this one.

I have a silver AE-1200WH with metal band, and I would not call it the greatest watch. The screen scratches easily, and it's not atomic synced nor solar powered, and it's no more accurate than any quartz watch... i.e., it loses about 10 seconds a month. The greatest watch IMHO, of which I have two of them, is the PAW-1500 ABC watch. It's not perfect, but if you buy the metal band version, you can buy it once, and never buy another watch again for the rest of your life. Considering I've been through a ton of watches, that's saying a lot. I would give away my AE-1200WH as superfluous, but not my PAWs. Really though, Alexa and Smart Phones have made clocks and watches... obsolete. Get yourself at least one Alexa and a Smart Phones, both of which are time synced to the network, and be done with watches. I use Alexa to tell me the time 50x more than I look at a wristwatch.

Almost impossible to operate……good luck figuring out how to even change the time.

God that screen is already hella scratched up

Is display made of glass or plastic?

Does it look good worn by adult men? Cause its kind of youth watch

So, I haven't learned a damn thing about the actual usage of this watch. Complete waste of time! :(

Why do you, and other British KZfaqrs do everything in dollars?

AE1200WHD-1AVEF (Silver w/Bracelet) AE1200WHB-3BV (Military Green w/Green Strap)

I only into Casio watches that's made in Japan

The steel bracelet is trash. The AE1200 has no business on a bracelet
