Casio has introduced its AE-1600H series watches, the AE-1600H-1AV and AE-1600H-8BV, to European markets after their initial release in the US. The watches are now available in countries such as the Netherlands, France, and Italy.
The AE-1600H series features a 10-year battery life powered by a CR2032 battery and a rugged octagonal design. The watches are water-resistant up to 100 meters and include an LED Illuminator with an Afterglow function for better visibility in low-light conditions. Additional features include five multi-function alarms (one with snooze), a 1/100-second stopwatch, dual time modes, and a countdown timer.
Weighing 52 grams, the watches are lightweight and made with resin cases and bands. The LCD display is larger than standard DW-5600 models, ensuring clear readability. The auto-calendar is programmed through the year 2099. In Europe, the watches are available in Black and Grey, while US customers also have a Beige option.
Priced at €39.90 in the Netherlands, France, and Italy, the watches are also available in India for INR 3,195. US pricing has not been announced.
In other news, Casio has launched the special edition G-Shock GA-B2100CD-1A4 in collaboration with the Charles Darwin Foundation. Inspired by the Galapagos marine iguana, it features a red and black dual-tone design, while the GA-B2100CD-1A7 variant takes cues from the Galapagos penguin with a black and white theme. Both models include unique dial and band loop designs, an engraved foundation logo, and a Spanish conservation message on the band.
