The silver AE1200 is nicknamed the “Casio Royale” because it resembles the Seiko G757 5020 Sports 100 worn by Roger Moore as James Bond in Octopussy – even though it isn’t that same watch, and the movie wasn’t Casino Royale. The “glass/crystal” is a very clear resin and the dial contrast is exceptional, so this is a very easy watch to read, which is a big plus point in my opinion.

To ensure that you have everything in view even in dark surroundings, the display of the watch is illuminated by a light-emitting diode at the touch of a button. The date and time zone is a little on the small side and it can be a bit confusing to setup, but there are lots of videos online to help with that. For fans of precision: the countdown timers help you to remember specific or recurring events by giving off an audible signal at a preset time. This classic CASIO watch has functions such as World Time, LED light, 1/100th Sec Stopwatch, Countdown Timer, and quick access to the time in 4 time zones. It’s indicative of the kind of thinking Casio applied to the rest of the watch; definitely built for a budget, but with some real thought behind it.Swiss Quartz - This watch was manufactured in Switzerland to exact Swiss standards and is powered by a long life battery. Easy feel ion your hand, beautiful watch, and I have even been wearing during sports such as gym, snowboarding, even in swimming pool and jacuzzi (waterproof).

It has that same quality on the Casio, reinforced by a sector dial and cockpit instrument-style frame. Like the vast majority of Casio watches, it is made to be used hard, so even though it does not have a massive, bulletproof case like a G-Shock, it is still good for a very useful 100m water resistance and has a 10-year battery life. Equipped with an integrated LED light allowing you to easily check the time even with limited light. And this model incorporates a pretty comprehensive World Time feature, with an “at a glance” World Time zone map, 31 time zones and 48 cities, UTC and Daylight Savings settings.It comes with a really quite good and unobtrusive synthetic resin flexible strap and black coated buckle.
