The Casio AE-1600 series - which was announced in late 2024 - is now available for preorder on Amazon. There is an official release date on the cards as well - February 1, 2025. The series consists of three models in black, beige, and grey color options, each priced at $77.94 - which is slightly on the higher side considering you can purchase way more feature-rich models around the $100 mark.
Key features include a 10-year battery life powered by a CR2032 battery, an inverted digital display, and a rugged octagonal case. The watches are water-resistant up to 100 meters and feature an LED Illuminator with an Afterglow function for visibility in low-light conditions. Additional functionality includes five multi-function alarms (one with a snooze option), a 1/100-second stopwatch with a nearly 24-hour capacity, dual time modes, and a countdown timer.
The watches come with resin cases and bands, so they are pretty lightweight at 52 grams each. The LCD display, which is significantly larger than standard DW-5600 models, should relay information pretty clearly, and the auto-calendar is programmed through the year 2099.
