I've made other videos in the past few months about the Casio AE-1500WH but, this time, I've acquired two long-strap versions of the watch to show you. The longer straps aren't remarkably longer when you view them side-by-side with the normal straps. But I can certainly see where they would be useful to guys with larger wrists and/or people who may want to wear them on the outside of their shirts or jackets.

The Casio AE1500 is a great value at only about $20 - $25 right now, depending on where you shop. (The list price from Casio tops out at $30.) It has a large LCD screen with the largest digits of any Casio watch I own. It would make a great watch for someone who has special needs with regard to vision. In addition to its normal timekeeping it has five alarms (one of which is a "Snooze" alarm), an hourly chime, a 24-hour countdown timer with an auto-repeat option, a 24-hour stopwatch and a Dual Time mode. The watch can be set to a 12-hour or 24-hour display for all modes. It is water resistant to 100 meters and it can run for up to 10 years on a common CR2032 lithium battery. Detailed instructions are available for download from Casio's website. Just look for module 3502.
