Functionality and Performance
When it comes to features, the AE-1200WHL-5AV continues to deliver a range of functions, such as a world map display with multi-time settings for 4 cities, a stopwatch that measures to 1/100 of a second, and five daily alarms. Additionally, the watch is equipped with an amber LED light, a countdown timer, and a fully automated calendar that runs until 2099. Its accuracy is +/-30 seconds per month, which ensures it is quite dependable.
Pricing and Availability
The first AE-1200WH was launched in 2012, with an initial price around $40. Its low cost and useful features made it popular among both those on a budget and watch enthusiasts alike.
Scheduled for release in October 2024 in Asia, excluding Japan, the AE-1200WHL-5AV will be priced at S$65 (~$49.53) in Singapore, making it a tad pricier than earlier versions. Nevertheless, the new leather strap certainly provides a more luxurious touch without sacrificing the practicality that the AE-1200WH series is known for.
