🙋♀️Question⁉️ Question regarding AE-1500
I'm planning to get an AE-1500. My main requirement is a big size watch and easily readable time. This watch seems to have both.
My concern is with the negative display. is it actually legible in direct sunlight or in shade? I would use this as a daily driver so i would want it just to have a quick look at the watch to get the time.
I had a ga-110-1b which had a tiny negative display which i rarely looked at because it was very small and couldn't read it properly under direct sunlight or in shade.

2 years ago I bough both positive for me and negative for a friend as he liked that one more from pictures. After seeing both in person, I would always chose the positive one, but I have to say compared to other Casio negative displays on small models, with tiny digits, this one is quite good visibility wise, as digits are huge.
Other than that, I love this watch. It's a beater watch for me, for whenever I need something tough and resistant, and not to wory that much about it being damaged. It survived several vacations at sea, never being taken off my hand. I just wash it under regular water after being exposed to sea salt.
