AE1200WH 45.0 x 42.1 x 12.5mm / 39g. 1/100 second stopwatch. Casio AE1200WH-1AV. Classic - Black. Black resin band digital watch with a black & neutral face. 12/24 Hour Formats. Battery: CR2025. Accuracy: +/- 30 seconds per month.
A surprisingly handsome watch up close. I haven’t really explored all its functions, but the world map and “digital dial” (representing hour, minute and second hands) are thoughtful inclusions. Viewing angle is respectable. The amber backlight is a great color but a little uneven, and I wish it would stay illuminated when I hold the button down.
If value is your thing, then consider this the best digital watch ever made. I can think of no better watch for travelers/adventurers as it's bulletproof, waterproof, feature packed and very comfortable. Also the accuracy is awesome. I have 5 of them and the most they vary over a month's time is about 7 seconds. The best one I have varies only a sliver fraction of a second per month. Just buy one, you won't regret it.
It is an excellent item, and certainly a bargain at the price. Although the battery is good for 10 years, we have no way of knowing when that started, so I figure 5 years at best. Nobody in Jacksonville stocks anything like this any more, most folks use their cell phone as a clock,, but I personally like them. I marked it as "not stylish" because while I like it, my wife thinks it is ugly and would not be caught dead with one on her wrist so that 3rd question is a matter of opinion.
If you're a watch fanatic, and you read Hodinkee regularly, then you'll know why everyone has been buying up this watch. The band is a bit narrower than I expected, but the size of the face is right in the sweet spot. It has the old backlit illumination, which isn't the best, but, for a traveler, you can't beat the value here.
Hands down, best budget watch, undefeated for the last 20 years!

A really cool modernized incarnation of the classic Casio. A variety of hi-tech features, technology, and an advanced informational display. Clear, easy to read at a glance. A great addition for collectors, and Casio enthusiasts.
Most of my collection is analog, both quartz and mechanical. Although this watch has a lot of functions I won't use it just looks cool and is fun to wear.
A nice little homage timepiece to the Seiko G757 5020 Sports 100 as worn by James Bond in the movie Octopussy. As an avid fan of James Bond, this watch purchase was a no-brainer for me. The watch I received was packaged very well and in good working order. Thank you.
Sophisticated and worldly time piece at a great price point for multi-time zone users for both sport and casual street wear.
Ideal inexpensive watch for those seeking multiple worldwide time with alarm, date, lighting and stop watch capabilities. Additionally, can handle wet environment. CASIO is known for its quality and accurate time. Note: Don't be alarm by the instruction booklet's size. Once learn which button settings to deploy, it's becomes very natural, intuitive and second nature to recall how to adjust settings. Although many CASIO watches can be worn as "unisex" time pieces, in my own view, this unit is more suited as a male watch with its larger face. Time piece is light weight with upwards a 10-years battery life. With a rubber wrist band, this unit can be worn as sport watch, as well as, casual street wear.
I wear this watch in the office, while hiking, in the shower, to bed, its been with me skydiving, diving under the sea, in an explosion, car crash, during sex, and it never stops working. It also tells time in the dark!
