Collection Men's Watch AE-1200WHD-1AVEF

Pretty durnnnn cool. Looks great- both classy rugged. Very functional for a very reasonable price. Really love the way it looks. It’d be nice if it was just automatically visible in the dark although it’s not that hard to just press the button. Also it doesn’t come with tools to change out the links but you really just need a small thing to poke it out- it was really easy.

This watch has better looks than its price!. Lightweight, made with high standards.

So this is my 2nd AE1200 after my 1st one was damaged many years ago. I thought about putting a spare combi bracelet on it, but it just didn't really look right. I realized then how fond I am of the cheap stamped-metal Casio bracelet. The Casio Royale maintains that 80s nostalgia vibe ootb and it will be in my weekly rotations.

Wasn’t too keen on this watch. Kept hearing positive reviews and decided let me buy one to see how it would look on my fat wrist. Now it’s one of my favorites. Hate I have to take it off sometimes. It’s comfortable and fits nice. The numbers are legible. Definitely worth the money plus more. The bracelet would probably feel cheap at first but when you look at it on your wrist, definitely could stand along side the more expensive brands. Quality and functional!

Overall great and durable affordable watch!

Love the watch. Battery came connected. Who knows how long the watch has been on. So much for 10 yr Battery.

Classic watch. Great value for the money. You can upgrade the face and bands if you want. Love the vintage design.

This Casio watch is known as the Casio Royalle, a reference to the original James Bond movie with Roger Moore (not my fav Bond movie, the remake with Daniel Craig). This watch was based on a much pricier Seiko watch worn by Moore on that classic Bond movie. In any case, this watch is simply stunning and for under 50 bucks, it is hard to beat. It is a digital, illuminated watch with a metal band, so it looks fancier than its price point. I have been wearing it at some places I normally go to and have received multiple compliments. First off, unless you are a real active traveler, I STRONGLY suggest you set all “world clock” mides to your own timezone. Why? Because if you accidentally change the time to World Clock, you will not accidentally get the wrong time. Second, make good use of the watch features, especially the countdown timer. It is very helpful to set timer reminder for say 5mins when say playing an iPad game or walking around the store near closing time, so you can stay on top of your trip before store closes. Prevents losing track of time. Third, LOOK at the watch. It is stunning and looks way more expensive than what it is. The metal band is easy to remove links on, with a small screwdriver and watching a tutorial on YT. Takes less than 5 minutes to remove a link or two, but be sure to remove 1 link from each end at a time, so that the watch stays centered on your wrist. The watch is readable perfectly outside in bright sunlight, and if you have any trouble, simply make a circle with your hand and place over the screen to see. The band is 100% stainless steel and looks very high end due to its metallic look for sure. The clasp has a squeeze mechanism which prevents “snag snaps”, meaning if you snack the clasp and it gets pulled, it will NOT just pop open, which is nice. Finally, the illuminator light worked to 100% readability in pitch black conditions. I am attaching a quick video overview of this watch because I really like it and I am quite happy with it.

Heel goed

Como digo en mi título, el reloj es espectacular, las fotografías no le hacen justicia, en estas se ve un reloj muy bonito y recuerda a los AE-20 o AE-220, pero una vez que lo tienes en la mano es un poquito mas grande, para mi tiene el tamaño justo, ni es tan grande como G-Shock ni pequeño como los AE-2xx antiguos, da la sensación de ser un gran reloj, aunque la caja de resina pintada no me gusta, es un gran fallo para un reloj perfecto y muy bonito, a medio camino entre lo vintage y un reloj digital elegante, una caja de acero habría sido genial. Acortar la cadena ha sido bastante fácil, mas que por ejemplo en el DBC-32D que fue un suplicio para mi, yo lo he hecho con un punzón busca polos de electricidad. Lo he comprado porque me recuerda a un Seiko que salia en una antigua película de 007, y una vez lo he tenido me reafirmo, es lo mas parecido al reloj de mi personaje favorito, sin pagar una cifra astronómica por un reloj de segunda mano vintage, lo malo, repito, es la caja de resina pintada. Recomiendo su compra como la de cualquier Casio. Aunque no lo he usado en el día a día todavía, como "Casioista" que soy sé que no me va a decepcionar, y tiene lo que me gusta de un reloj, 5 alarmas, crono, temporizador, hora mundial.., aunque luego no lo use, y lo mejor, pila de 10 años. Compra redonda con las tres B's. Adjunto imagen del reloj de Octopussy

Overall, this watch feels way more premium than its price suggests. The chunky yet perfectly balanced design gives it a bold wrist presence without feeling uncomfortable. It genuinely earns its nickname as the “James Bond of digital watches”—timeless, rugged, and effortlessly cool. Functionality-wise, it’s classic Casio excellence. Multiple time zones, world map display, alarms, stopwatch, countdown timer, and an excellent backlight—everything works flawlessly. The display is super clear, and the buttons feel tactile and solid, not cheap or mushy. Comfort is another big win. The strap sits well on the wrist, doesn’t irritate the skin, and feels durable enough for daily wear. Whether you’re dressing casually, traveling, or just want a reliable everyday watch, this one fits all scenarios perfectly. Battery life is exactly what you expect from Casio—set it and forget it. No unnecessary smart features, no charging anxiety, just pure reliability. Final verdict: If you want a legendary digital watch with iconic looks, rock-solid build quality, and unbeatable value for money, this is a no-brainer. Easily one of the best watches I’ve owned. ⭐ 5/5 – Highly recommended. Absolute classic.

inspirée d'une montre de James Bond (une Seiko en réalité) cette montre est aujourd'hui qualifiée de vintage ! Quoi qu'il en soit, pour les amateurs du genre comme moi, c'est une montre superbe, avec une finition incroyable compte tenu de son faible prix et du nombre de fonctions qu'elle offre. Et la réputation de Casio n'est plus à faire en terme de fiabilité. Tout est parfait dans cette montre : l'autonomie (10 ans sur une pile), la lisibilité (de l'heure au moins), le bracelet et son système d'ouverture/fermeture, ses boutons solides, son look, sa finition, ses fonctions, son bip horaire, etc. Et en plus, elle n'est pas connectée et n'a pas besoin d'un smartphone pour une mise à jour...vive le vintage! Alors bien sûr, avec un verre saphir ça serait mieux que du plastique, un boitier en métal aussi, made in japan plutôt que made in china, mais vu son prix, on ne peut pas tout avoir...Et puis il y a plein d'autres Casio à collectionner qui ont tout ça et plus encore....

Beautiful watch. Looks expensive than it is. Has lots of potential mods. Definitely get a screen protector as it gets easily scratched
