This product originates from China. Tariffs have bit us in the ass - Chinese products are now stopped at US Customs and slapped with additional costs. If you make an order which includes items originated from China, you will have to pay US Customs extra before receiving your order (they will tell you how much).

Product description

The AE-1500WH has an incredibly large and clear display, probably the biggest digits you'll see on a Casio. It also has some nifty features not often seen in the budget series, and it's quite resilient in various environments. Kind of like a budget G-Shock but the battery lasts 10 years!

Officially, the watch isn't shock resistant, and you don't get the mineral glass and other fancy stuff. The display is recessed to prevent scratches, and we've banged up these things without worries or issues. If you break this thing in an accident, chances are it would have broken a more expensive watch as well.

The suffix 5AVEF means the color code (5 means Brown, A means a normal positive display), and VEF for Export / European version. The various regions are most often just packaged a bit differently, and the manual language varies.

Features

These are features that may require clarification and may not be found on all models:

World Time

This model has no automation and allows you to set a secondary time down to the minutes.

Countdown Timer with a Timer

Casio heard we like timers, so they put a timer in their timer. The range is up to 24 hours with 1-second increments. You can make the countdown repeat automatically, and you can set a start time within 24 hours. These are not the most common features.

Stopwatch

Stopwatch with 1/100th precision up to 24 hours. Displays elapsed time and can be toggled for split times and 1st and 2nd places.

The split time in Casio watches means freezing the elapsed time on the screen while the stopwatch keeps running in the background. E.G. if you run 1:36 laps with a steady pace, your first split time will be 1:36, the second one 3:12, then 4:48, and so on.

Multi Alarm Clock / Hourly Signals

You can set hourly time signals on or off, and the watch has a multitude of alarms: daily alarm, daily alarm for one month, alarm at a specified date, and a monthly alarm. You can save up to five alarms and one of them can be set for snoozing.

Calendar to the year 2099

You don't have to check the date setting of this watch each month: leap years, Februaries, and Biblical events are covered for a very long time – automagically.

Backlight

This watch has two amber-colored LEDs for viewing in the dark. The Afterglow is fixed to 1.5 seconds. Higher-end models of today have something they call the Super Illuminati but this one is just fine.
