• 200-Meter Water Resistance:: While most "standard" Casio watches are rated for 50m or 100m, this model features a 20-bar (200m) rating. This matches the water resistance of the G-Shock line, making it suitable for professional marine activities and high-impact water sports.
• Mineral Glass Crystal:: In a significant upgrade over the acrylic (plastic) glass found on other budget digitals like the AE-1200, this model uses toughened mineral glass. This makes the screen much more resistant to scratches and everyday wear.
• Multi-Time (4 City Quick-Toggle):: The watch allows you to pre-set four different cities for instant access. You can cycle through these four time zones on the main display with a single button press, perfect for those who communicate across different regions.
• World Time (31 Time Zones):: The digital module supports 48 cities and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). It includes a daylight saving time (DST) toggle and a "home city/world time city" swapping function for seamless travel.
• 5 Daily or One-Time Alarms:: This model offers five independent alarms, which can be set as daily recurring alerts or one-time reminders. This is a significant step up from basic digital watches that usually offer only a single alarm.
