Everything is more expensive than it used to be in 2023... apart from a cracking Casio watch! Plenty to like here, very similar functions to the AE1300, so it comes down to looks, and how many slots you have left in your watch box. Cheers, Jody

    I picked up the black and green one and I love it. It's like the tri-clops but slightly easier to read day/date and the seconds tracking looks cooler IMO. My only complaint is why did they not give a hard plastic corner in the upper left? They already stylized the plastic in other places for this face, so it's odd to me they leave that black screen in the upper left instead of covering it.

    Good vid. I do wish I liked digital watches more than I do. I have three G Shocks and the metallic 1200 but I almost never wear them. I have one G Shock with the reverse/blackout display that I wear when helping my father-in-law with potential hunting stuff at night but that's about it. I have a coworker that always used to wear the little $15-ish analog Casio and I have him an all black 1200 but since he never uses any functions other than the time, I suppose the slightly larger display of this one would probably serve him slightly better. Maybe I'll grab one of these for him.

    Jody, You must have seen nearly every affordable watch on the planet. I’m looking for a cheap digital that has the following functionality (Timex Ironman watches used to do this but have now stopped). 1. A Timer that can be set, down to the minute (or second), from 1-60 minutes. I only really need 1-10 min. 2. When the timer hits 00:00 the stop-watch starts. 3. The stop-watch continues to count up until at least 23:59:59. This is for yacht racing where a 10 min gun is fired before a start, and ‘race time’ then needs to be recorded. Ironman used to do: Countdown/stop; Countdown/repeat (useful for the gym); and Countdown/count-up. …but they dropped the Countdown/count-up. Thanks

    I know it’s not along with the theme, but I have a GW-M5610u and I’m pretty satisfied with it. The watches you featured are really cool, but I lean towards analogue/digital. Call me old fashioned. 🤷🏻‍♂️
