COMBINES the large CLEAR display from PROTREK and CASE from G-SHOCK at a much lower price, of course without shock protection, with fewer settings and cheaper materials that are not the worst... with a small flick of the wrist I can immediately and very quickly see the time during any daily activity, in relatively large angles and in low light (with the regular dial, not with the black one which is more flashy but loses more in angles)... although it is a bit large at 50mm for my 17.5cm wrist it is comfortable, it is NOT heavy, a watch at 40mm with a steel case and bracelet weighs twice as much as this...
5 alarms are displayed on the screen for those that have been activated, they sound loudly but for 10 seconds I think they are mainly for reminders, one with repetition and all with the option of daily or specific day...
Countdown up to 24 hours...
Chronometer with split/lap options, 1st-2nd positions...
There is a second time, there the minutes change as if we have a 2nd watch...
The light intensity is good (I imagine I got a stock that hasn't been sitting in the store for years so still a strong battery) in some angles it dims a bit but does its job, duration at 1 - 1.5 seconds...
100m waterproof, showering, hand washing etc. it never comes off the wrist...
The strap width is 18mm to fit properly on the wrist but it protrudes another 4mm on each side...
The CR2032 battery should last many years (it is the large one that goes in calculators, blood sugar meters, scales, toys etc.) but even IF we are constantly playing with lighting, stopwatch, alarms and it drains faster, we can find it at the kiosk...
IF you want a simple watch with the criterion of just telling the time, this (AE-1500WH) the SWG100 the cheapest PRO, in analog the AQ-S800W (in the photo) surpass much more expensive ones with clear displays...
Photo with one of the first PROs that came out with very large numbers (and display) and one of the first with relatively large numbers for G-Shock (years ago both were very expensive) puts them to shame in numbers...
Note that in both expensive ones the strap needed to be changed at some point, just cheaper ones might need it faster

Sea, sand, shower, soap... I never took it off. It didn't notice anything, I never worried anywhere. After the sea, I put it in a glass of fresh water for 5'-10' and then back on my wrist. Simply... a tool.
I am not going to write about this watch again.

I received it in Oct '24.
I have nothing new to say. Amazing watch - always for its price -
Its accuracy is as expected - good, it's a battery watch -
I can't say much about its durability because I don't wear it all the time, since I have other watches too, but I haven't faced any problem whenever I've worn it.
The only, let's say, negative is its bulk, which now in winter is a bit of a hassle with motorcycle gloves, motorcycle jacket sleeves, etc.
I repeat, it is EASILY recommended!

I received it the day before yesterday.
I don't have much to say. Others have written more detailed reviews than me. Honestly, we're talking about a perfect everyday watch. You can wear it all day, you never take it off (Work, gym, shower, baths, etc).
Large dial with big, easy-to-read numbers (for me essential due to age and presbyopia). Large case size that fits perfectly on my wrist (~20cm circumference).
I was a bit worried about the bulk but in the end it's just fine.
The alarms, timers, and such leave me a bit indifferent since I don't use them often (almost never, to be honest, it's easier to do these things with a phone), but you pretty much find them on any watch of this type. Also, I can't comment on the accuracy but I won't go crazy about it either.
What "bothered" me a bit was the LED screen lighting which is not as I expected, nor as I had seen in some photos and videos. It does what it needs to, but that's it. I expected it to be brighter and clearer.

So 4/5 just for the screen lighting.
A watch that is EASILY recommended!
I will come back in time when I have more to say about its durability and accuracy.

1-10-2024- I bought it on 12-4-2023 at the price of €35.00 in black color. The watch works just fine. The accuracy of the time is good, a bit fast in winter, a bit slow in summer, you have to be a bit ... to keep changing the time constantly, the deviation is minimal. Large dial with big numbers (mainly for those who have trouble seeing). Very good brightness in orange color, countdown timer, five alarms (for those who take medication), truly waterproof (constantly in the sea with dives up to 3 meters as I have tested it, it has fallen 2-3 times without a problem). Before I bought it, I was concerned after reading that the dial gets scratched, so I covered it with nail hardener until it wore off and I didn’t reapply it, but the dial did not get scratched. The only "problem" is the strap, which is not silicone and broke a few days ago after 1.5 years, and I found a new Casio one a few days ago at the price of €10. I applied Vaseline to it twice to soften it before it broke. The battery is rated for 10 years, so no need for resealing. For its price, very good.
23-3-2026 I changed the strap again, and again with a genuine one this time at €12. I didn’t look for an imitation because the genuine one is softer on the hand. It needs changing about every 1.5 years. In 4.5 years, you will have matched the purchase price of the watch in straps

The AE-1500 module has gathered, in my opinion, the most useful functions that an ordinary mortal might need. A customizable timer for use in cooking, daily reminders, and the New Year's countdown. A super-duper stopwatch for all your measurements whether you're running or doing any kind of time trial with your friends. The top feature for me personally is the five date alarms that also work as reminders of all kinds, e.g., birthdays, anniversaries, daily wake-up calls. Dual-Time for those of us who have the quirk of wanting to know what time it is in some other part of the world or as a parallel clock for any kind of use. Titanically huge display of the time and date for instant reading even for presbyopes. The backlight, although a bit weak, manages to illuminate the huge digits of the time. At 35 euros, these features are a scandal as you find them in more expensive Casio watches. Personally, the aesthetics of the watch satisfy me greatly. Being a holder of both the AE-1500WH-8BVEF and AE-1500WH-8B2, I dare say that the readability of this particular model is the best, day and night, but the negative display on the aforementioned ones is impressive due to the cool factor. I provide clarity photos in low light from 10 centimeters straight and at an angle and from 50 centimeters. I must say that I tested the accuracy of the AE1500 with NTP time synchronization with second precision and after 26 days it has +1 second approximately. Casio gives the timer chip Accuracy: ±30 seconds per month maximum-minimum respectively depending on the infinitesimal differences from module to module depending on extreme weather conditions like extreme heat or cold or if the watch has gotten wet. So don't worry, it doesn't need correction and synchronization every month unless you got the worst module that has been produced or if you are a precision freak. Update on 26/03/2025: the watch continues to be accurate with NTP time having lost 17 seconds.
