So Casio rearranged the features, put them in a new case, and voilà, they have a new watch. I’m with Mrs. MWC on this one. Thanks for sharing and have a great afternoon! 🙏🏼
Got the “sand” color variant last week as a watch for fishing/camping. The buttons are not as obtrusive to use as I initially thought. It is very good size in my 7.25 inch wrist. Gives off a military type vibe for sure. Cant wait to put it on a metal case with sapphire crystal. Ultimate budget beater. Need to get one of those f-91 shirts! Thank you for the awesome content.
I already have a tide graph with the WS1300... Having said that, I wear that watch to the beach, so I suppose I could wear this one when I'm just by the coast but not physically on the beach... Yeah, thanks Russ, you've convinced me: I definitely *need* this watch.
I have a couple of Casio Tide Graphs, useful to me as I live on the coast with really high tides, WS 1300H & GLX S5600 G-Lide. They're both more practical with their larger tide graph and moon phase. I like the look of this new one though.
Tide graph is quite useful if you live near the coast and want to make a quick trip to the beach. If you can do without the Royale clock dial I'd be looking at the £35 ws210 tough solar or pushing the budget to either the gshock g7900 rescue or gw7900.
It looks like the dash board of my 2015 astra very complicated with all the buttons but my being a boy that likes his toys it's definitely up my street
@@lawncrow you could directly contact skxmod to verify all 4 models fit their same case. If so then a 1700 could almost certainly be moved to a 1200 case.
I got myself a ws1100 and ws1300 and have found only the ws1100 is a good fit for my comparatively sized wrist while also having the tide and moon features. Greetings from Australia!
Me too, but as you can guess, the glorious transparent resin turns yellowish with time... I am tempted from the 40th anniversary transparent square, and it's barely legible
It's cool! I like how the dials are different colors, but I surely miss the world time feature from the AE-1200. I hope they release a version with better buttons, but overall this would definitely be my daily if I lived near the sea!
As an owner of a WS-1500H i can say it can take a beating... From door knobs and gate bolts. Im 3 large scratches in. And i gotta say i am legit seething for the WS-1700H I feel I need both of em. I still dont get why the moon phase is smaller i thought going square gives it more space.
Casio made something amazing in this watch. Can't wait for it to come out in the U.S. On another note I'm so happy I put my order in for the Mad Hacker before this hits the shores of the U.S.A. I need a bit of space between purchases to tell myself I'm being disciplined 😂
Have none of you had a recall for this particular model?? I was asked to return the watch by Casio Europe due to a "software bug". I don't know if there are any other issues, but in my case it was not possible to set pm times in dual time mode. It then also disappeared again from the local Casio websites.
I have a w-735M and it's useful, alarm countdown timer( reat for cooking) a loud alarm and a discreet vibration alarm, great illumination and a 10 year battery!! And all the buttons are accessible easily. Who's this one for? But all Casios are great even the budget ones......I still want a calculator watch...BECAUSE? BTTF?
think i'd prefer to spend a bit more and get a G-LIDE square with tough solar, and tide / mooonphase. better dimensions and better specs overall. great budget release though!
Been eyeballing this one in Grey since I heard about it several weeks ago. Would like to get hands on this once hype has settled and if it will come to UK market? 🤔 Don't see a reason why it wouldn't? Unless they do what Seiko did with their yellow SSK017 and only release in America! 🤬😤
And now another Casio I want... no... I need! Godammit!!! At least it seems to unavailable here, in the EU, so I have time to be distracted with something else!
Picked up the black model and LOVE it! BUT! If anyone has seen online, the Dual Time feature will NOT show or change to PM! sent mine in, and waiting to hear back on a fix or replacement!
Great videos. I like the selection of watches you choose to review. Always look forward to hearing your partners opinion at the end. Very similar to my wife but much more polite! Haha Thanks for the great content.
But this model is still missing a lot of features: MIP display, stepcounter, HR Monitor, Altimeter, Barometer, Thermometer, Multiband 6, Solar, bluetooth. Did I forget anything? Oh yes! Affordable price. Let´s say, 300 (in whatever currency you desire). That would be my instant pick.
I disagree on the screen… mine does not lose any legibility straight on vs. angle. Happy to send a video. That being said others have experienced the same problem. I think it’s a quality control issue.
Shame its so bloody big, as the tide and moon feature is handy for being a beach basher. And yea those buttons are too close side on look like the a clingon war bird from star trek lol
The previous round tide graph is way better , i only need one " last grutas " watch. But for anybody discovering god tier Casio today and need a tide watch i Guess this is ok of You like squary.
The only thing that bothers me is that the accuracy as a time keeping device is rather poor. For reference, the analog Casio Duro runs about 5-10 seconds a month (rated at 20 seconds by Casio) and is $50. That 30 seconds a month on this, as tested by The Good Timekeeper, is basically where your watch will fall - it could be anywhere from 15 seconds slow to 15 seconds fast. Which is fine, I guess, but again, I'd pay $10 or $20 more for tighter quality control on the crystals. The original G-Shocks were about +/- 15 seconds, so there is a reason prices are still "budget-friendly" I guess. Most of the Duros seem to be coming in at about 5 seconds slow to 5 seconds fast, though, so it's a great example of a little more money gets you a better watch. As far as timekeeping goes. Yes, I love Casio. But we WILL pay a little extra for better accuracy, Casio!
when you have the backlight on, does it go dark when you try to use any other button? design flaw of the epoch.. I havent seen any watch reviewers even mention this.
This looks like the kind of watch I would have would have idealized as a kid in the early 90s, which is exactly why I want it as an adult
Right!!!!
Exactly! That is why we do many of the things we do.
You can sing? Wow, how can we listening more of you
You can gift one of these to your kids and it won’t expire for ages.😅
This is the perfect size watch for my ankles!
lol an ankle monitor.
I wonder someone has made a raspberry pi powered ankle monitor where you can pull your pants up and play doom under the table
@@thecompanioncube4211 it's called a phone, switch, Gameboy.. the list goes on.
Its a man watch , stay away girls
😂😂
Watches like this are why I can never save enough couch change for more expensive watches 😂 great show as always!
Sorry matey!!!
With such an action packed face It would have distracted me all 6years of grade school. That’s why I loved Casio all those years growing up.
Casio F-91W T-shirt: pure class. 🔥
The analogue clock is pretty cool. It's fun 😃
It’s crazy to see how much your channel has grown. Keep it up!!
Love it! I'm super excited about the Casio WS-1700H 🤩
I wish they had it cheaply available here in Australia, too!
Looking forward to your review 😄
@@deips74 😉👌

does this watch have a fishing assist function?

Im with you there. I already have a WS-1500H on my left arm and I need this one for my right arm.
I thought it would be way too big, but I’m surprised at how well it fits on your wrist. Fantastic review as always!
WS1500 was my summer holiday watch last year. Bought it whilst back in the UK for £23. Absolutely love it

This has to be the coolest watch of the year and i love those spider bug eyes.

That face is insane! The Casio is pretty crazy too! 😉

Reuben the robotic cyborg frog spider would be awesome with solar power and a better analog display.
Just received my Casio WS 1700H and I am ecstatic!!! 4:22
Even if I'm not drawn to a particular watch the enthusiasm is always compelling. Keep up the great reviews 👍
YES!!! I’m in the US and picked it up in gray. Loving it!
Funky looking watch and I expect this will be popular for colour mods.
Restock dropped this morning, thank you!
IMHO the best part is it fits the same skxmod cases as the 1200/1300/1600.
For real? That will make this an instant classic
Is this confirmed? I'm honestly only interested in this watch if I can transfer it over to a 1200 case
@@lawncrow you could directly contact skxmod to verify all 4 models fit their same case. If so then a 1700 could almost certainly be moved to a 1200 case.
can almost see hints of that mission impossible one that TGV is in love with...i like it though
I got myself a ws1100 and ws1300 and have found only the ws1100 is a good fit for my comparatively sized wrist while also having the tide and moon features. Greetings from Australia!
Love the Casio watches and g shock they are tough and beautiful. And nostalgic
Very cool looking. Reminds me of a Decepticon Transformer.
Yeah I'll deffo get this one if it becomes available in the UK
It's only February an this is already a top contender for "Casio of the Year".
Perfect! I've been looking for a winking cyborg frog watch for a long time!
I have seen their transparent GShocks recently and I am tempted. The ankle security bracelet has been removed so I have the space.
Me too, but as you can guess, the glorious transparent resin turns yellowish with time... I am tempted from the 40th anniversary transparent square, and it's barely legible
@@brunocraighero2460 I have a yellow G Shock and it is going black at the edges. All the best
ah man not solar I'm sad
Got a ws1500h last year..similar to this but wo the tide graph and a circular dial.
Really like the square look and amazing price❤
It's cool! I like how the dials are different colors, but I surely miss the world time feature from the AE-1200. I hope they release a version with better buttons, but overall this would definitely be my daily if I lived near the sea!
The new casio WD 1700 'Spiderbot'...
Love it.
Too bad the Dual Time on this watch series is entirely broken. Stays AM only.
I like my Casios to be impossibly chunky, and to do mad/useful/stupid things. I'm in!
Surfer here. I can confirm a reliable tide graph is a win for us.
Apparently the WS1700 module can fit in an AE-1200 case - I saw someone tried that mod and it looks pretty cool.
Yeah it dose look good in the ae 1200 case
Cyberpunk style, I love it
As an owner of a WS-1500H i can say it can take a beating... From door knobs and gate bolts. Im 3 large scratches in. And i gotta say i am legit seething for the WS-1700H I feel I need both of em. I still dont get why the moon phase is smaller i thought going square gives it more space.
That's an action movie watch for sure.

A few years ago having become a bracelet swapper I took my TX by Timex with fake screws..... and did try to remove the screws..... Did not end well!
This guy is the funniest watch reviewer I've seen!

I don't know if there are any other issues, but in my case it was not possible to set pm times in dual time mode. It then also disappeared again from the local Casio websites.
I had to laugh when you said “click it” and there wasn’t a video link there. Great video as usual!
always a good video from you thank you.i do like the watch if the numbers where bigger then was a perfect watch for me
I have a w-735M and it's useful, alarm countdown timer( reat for cooking) a loud alarm and a discreet vibration alarm, great illumination and a 10 year battery!!

Model: Oh, looks nice
Lug to Lug: wtf?
Ive been waiting for a review. Since it was all first looks.
YES! Tide AND moon phase.
Is everyone seeing the Amazing camera work here? WOW Mr Mad watch collector your camera is amazing at making these shots
I just bought mine this month, it looks so cool
>Cyborg Frog
Hail Comicsgate, hail Ceasar.
Might get the ws1600 just cos I can't wait until the 1700 lands in the UK 😊
I've seen it done if your not keen on the case the module fits in the AE1200 case! A mod I plan to do as soon as can get hold of the ws-1700! 😁👌
Exactly my plan too! I don't care too much for the watch but I always wanted a moon phase display, and that in the 1200 form factor seems ideal!
think i'd prefer to spend a bit more and get a G-LIDE square with tough solar, and tide / mooonphase. better dimensions and better specs overall. great budget release though!
It’s bloody ginormous!
mate could you review Casio Lineage LCW-M100TSE-1AER
That is a good watch.
I bought mine from Japan 🇯🇵 as well. It was all sold out…
I happen too like the faux rivets. :)
Wow. What a beautiful beast....
📣 NO TO FAUX 📣 ... It's a no to the faux screws from me sadly. Quite frankly, it doesn't need the fake screw look to make it appear beefy and rugged.
Been eyeballing this one in Grey since I heard about it several weeks ago.
Would like to get hands on this once hype has settled and if it will come to UK market? 🤔
Don't see a reason why it wouldn't? Unless they do what Seiko did with their yellow SSK017 and only release in America! 🤬😤
I prefer the WS-1500H as it is a Budget watch & more importantly it has dual time feature which is unavailable in WS1700-1a
Hmmm.... Great video as always. Watch dial too busy. Hard to read with 'my glasses'. I will take my newly acquired GD350-8 G-Shock instead.
I can't wait to get my hands on this one!
Casio looks like they're creeping in to putting the budget range into the early Gshock range
And now another Casio I want... no... I need! Godammit!!!
At least it seems to unavailable here, in the EU, so I have time to be distracted with something else!
Such a fun guy to watch
Picked up the black model and LOVE it! BUT! If anyone has seen online, the Dual Time feature will NOT show or change to PM! sent mine in, and waiting to hear back on a fix or replacement!
Looks like the GD350 but more 80s/retro
Can't wait for mine
I own the Casio royale, I need this in my life.
It's not Sam Fox Strip Poker on the ZX Spectrum but i like it.
Great videos. I like the selection of watches you choose to review. Always look forward to hearing your partners opinion at the end. Very similar to my wife but much more polite! Haha Thanks for the great content.
I love a g-shock as much as the next guy...but that is a hot mess😂
I have a WS1400 and a Royale, so I'll pass on that one (feels like a mix of them). But it's not a bad watch at all if the price will be right
Can you please make a review and size comparison of the new Casio GST-B600?
Casio is listening.... Would we ever see a game watch again?
But this model is still missing a lot of features: MIP display, stepcounter, HR Monitor, Altimeter, Barometer, Thermometer, Multiband 6, Solar, bluetooth.
Did I forget anything? Oh yes! Affordable price. Let´s say, 300 (in whatever currency you desire).
That would be my instant pick.
Would it be possible to fit a 3299 Module in this case - and get a GShock-ish AE-1200?
Interesting that it's a new release with an illuminator as I thought they were telling us all they'd moved to LED's as they were more reliable 🤔
It’s an illuminator my friend. 2 orange LED lights. It’s the electroluminescent screens your thinking of
I disagree on the screen… mine does not lose any legibility straight on vs. angle. Happy to send a video. That being said others have experienced the same problem. I think it’s a quality control issue.
Is this watch better than Q&Q MMW3 series ☺️ thanks ☺️
Not sure my friend!
The serious question. You would put this ES-1700 in your collection. And another question. Would you recommend it?
i'm gonna switch this module into a royale!!😁
Surprisingly big. How bout Casio Mondo
Shame its so bloody big, as the tide and moon feature is handy for being a beach basher. And yea those buttons are too close side on look like the a clingon war bird from star trek lol
