Collection Men AE-1200WHD-1AVEF Digital Watch for Men

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. It is also 100% waterproof to 100m, so you can shower with it and wash it with soap and water when needed. I am one of these that without a watch, I lose track of time in the shower, so a waterproof watch is a must. 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.

I’m thrilled with this watch. Although inexpensive, this watch is a very good looking timepiece with retro styling. I wish Casio made the face in a slightly larger size. Other than that, I have no complaints.

This might be my favorite watch in my ever-growing Casio collection, which is becoming less of a collection and more of a lifestyle choice I may need to explain to my family. The Casio AE-1200WHD-1AVEF is just a great watch. It has that classic digital Casio charm, a cool world-time display, and enough buttons and tiny screen sections to make you feel like you’re about to receive a classified message from headquarters. Wearing it makes me feel like a low-rent James Bond — less Aston Martin and martinis, more used Honda and a Diet Coke, but the vibe is absolutely there. It looks great, wears comfortably, and gives you a lot of functionality for the price. Casio somehow keeps making watches that are affordable, reliable, and weirdly cooler than they have any right to be. Highly recommend for anyone who wants a fun, practical watch that says, “I may not have a license to kill, but I do know what time it is in 31 time zones.”

Its one of the best "Vintage Look" Casio watches and it comes with everything needed in an everyday watch.

Classic digital design. Clean vintage vibe. Plastic case not metal but you’d be hard pressed to tell and it holds up well as a daily driver. Accurate and useful.

I love the watch. Its does exactly what you need it to do, its water proof, customizable, and retro if youre a nostalgic person. The glass/crystal is not glass though. Its plastic, the AI says its mineral glass. Its not. And my watch came to me with some deep digs in the display. I was put off by that but due to how customizable it is, I dont mind it. Ill be getting it a new fully stainless case, and glass.

Looks absolutely amazing. Exceptionally made, great quality, worth the price. Looks great 😍

Always a consistent product. Love it

Happy with this purchase. It even came with a tool to remove watch band sections to customize the size

Heel goed

Fin klocka

Klasa sama w sobie. Nie ma konkurencji. Zegarek, oprócz świetnej funkcjonalności, budzi zachwyt i zainteresowanie "kumatych" osób.

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.
