The Casio AE1200WHUB-3AV and AE1200WHUB-8AV have arrived in the United States. These classic watches are described as combining “bold style” with a wide range of functions that could prove useful when traveling. The latest AE-12000WHUB watches feature fabric straps rather than resin, metal or leather.
The AE1200WHUB-3AV combines khaki and black elements with a khaki strap, while the AE1200WHUB-8AV features a black and dark gray color combination with a black strap. The model offers a Multi Time function in four cities, with 48 locations to choose from and your home time zone shown on a dial at the top left. Opposite is a world map showing your current time zone with highlighted regions. Other features include a 1/100th second stopwatch, countdown timer, and LED backlighting. Additionally, these wearables are claimed to last up to ten years on a CR2025 battery and are water resistant up to 10 bar or 100 m (~328 ft).
The Casio AE1200WHUB-3AV and AE1200WHUB-8AV watches are now available in the United States for $42.95. This is the same price as other, more premium versions of the watch, like the stainless steel AE1200WHD-1A, although that one is currently listed on Amazon for $33. Both new models were launched in Europe in October at a retail price of €49.90.
