I recently bought AE-1200WH-1A the stainless steel version. The watch feels more sturdy heavy but you cannot actually feel the weight on your wrist since it is well distributed.

In my opinion AE-1200 is better because of its unique dial. Let's be honest the functions offered by these watches are not used by most of the people who buy these since any smartphone can do that, however since 1200 has unique dial it stands out more and is a conversation starter. 1600 looks similar to other cheap Chinese versions and only a keen eyed watch enthusiast may notice.

No hate to any watch, if I had the money I'd buy both.
I just think that comparing these kinds of watches solely on utility is a miss.

I do like your videos and you have earned yourself a new subscriber.

I just bought the Casio 1200, but your review would have been very helpful in my decision process. In the end, my preference for more explicit world time functionality reaffirms my choice of the 1200. Thanks for sharing.

Bought both since it's very affordable and I get to wear them alternately. I got the yellow tint version for the 1200 and the grey/green version for the 1600, very pleased with both purchase.

Would love the 1600 features without all the useless complications. That's why I wear a WS220.

Next.. A 3 way comparison with AE 1300 as the third watch !

[sadrazampasa]

I was literally unsure about choosing which one should I buy and I saw this video… thank you so much for helping me❤️ I think I’ll buy WS1600 because I need the countdown timer

[jasonwilson]

Love the design of both just do all metal reissue please just got a1100 reissue today

[brandonmorris]

I dont like the "font" of the 1600, but the rest of it looks pretty cool

[arihantsbot]

Such a great explanation.

Someone please tell does 1600 have raise wrist to lit the display feature... thankyou 😊

[chilledtea]

I think the 1200 looks more futuristic

One thing that annoys me is the timer presets that come standard on AE1300 and 1600. Why didnt they add 1, 2, 5 minute presets? I'm sure those would be much more useful than some of the others, like 12..

Who needs to see the seconds counting? Waist of space, the AE1200 is the winner.
