I have the Casio Royale AE 1200 and I recently picked up a Casio moon phase tide graph for $20 at Walmart followed by a dw 291 for $40 and this looks like an amalgamation of all three rolled into one 🤔 ..
Don't forget....for less than 50 bucks 100 m WR, moon and tide graph (incredible), dual time (world time), crazy battery life, 3 independent alarms and it's pretty accurate, it's off just about a second per day which is not bad for El Cheapo. Who really can beat it? Oh yes, and it's ana-digi Good buy Like
I don't know the difference between "fishing timer" and fishing gear" in Casio-talk, but the WS-1500H which is a fishing gear watch, looks like a cross between this and the AE-1500. You should have a look at it, gives both the AE-1500 and this WS-1700 a serious run for their money.
Are you referring to the WS-1700 or a similar watch? Some Casios don’t have a separate letter P. They will display “A” for AM and display nothing for PM.
@JimKinkade you are the guy that thinks out of the box. Yeah, fir the stop watch, the result is important than the flashing digits which human eyes can't differentiate.
does the bottom of your glass screen have some blur/glass cut mark on it?i can see some cut mark when i view the watch upside down.right at the illuminator logo..if it's a really a cut mark,i wouldn't mind.kinda giving me an OCD
thanks for the video dude going to buy it on new year, am i late to get it now or should i wait for something new from casio ? dont know about launching dates of casio and roxy is very cute ❤
@@harshvardhanbhatii You’re not too late. I still recommend this one. It looks great! And as far as any upcoming Casio releases I haven’t seen any better than this one.
I never tried the w800h, but it looks like to would drag a lot less through the water than the ws1700, which is a little bit bulky. Nonetheless the ws1700 will fit a 6.5” wrist well.
I’m setting it up through RUclips. They have a native podcast feature now. I don’t know if it syndicates but you should be able to listen on the RUclips music app. Stay tuned!
This reminds me of GD350 which I've been putting on hold since it's out of my budget and I'm not into G-Shock. Guess I'll be getting this one instead. Thanks for the review.
@@jstsephjo yea... can't deny, it's the only G-Shock I considered to get. If only I haven't found interest in mechanical watch (saving up for the new Seiko 5 GMT) 😅
At 13:05 Jim: " I live in the desert, I live in West Texas, there is NO tide here !" 👍 Me (thinkin'): Not yet, NOAH, not YET! Wait till the climate change really kicks in!" 😁 (SORRY, only kidding....but I just couldn`t resist! ) 🤭😊 AND: WE MEN never read Instruction Manuals....okay, maybe when nobody`s watching!🤪
Hi Bro nice video, that little one looks like mine DW-291H, the famous or infamous non G-Shock watch but i love it. But Bro you just let me with one question ??? Wich one is the water resistant 0.o. Besides of that C'mom people this guys has less than 2k subscribers and double of watchs ... Lest's give him a good push to growth
Meanwhile its round variant - WS 1500 - is available at half its price and I’m thinking of pulling the trigger (mainly because of its tantalizingly low price!)
G'morning from the high desert of Southwest Idaho 🤠 . I bought my first watch w/ my allowance when I was a kid & I've been in the hobby ever since. I'm 49 now so it's been awhile 😋 . Is it just me or does this look like an ae1200 "royale" / dw-291 compilation ? 🤔 ..
Nice review, nice watch too, but i don't like the little analogical watch for "ants" , the same fail got the dw291, instead of that i would prefer a function indicator.
1700 is for PROs, anf fisherman, and 1500 for general public. 1700 is in fact version od Casi(n)o Royale. It is of OK price and I will not wait if it becommes cheaper, it is wewn now good value for the money. It is not watch for general public like 1500. I like it. Thy for your review!!
Warning religious propaganda at the end
Thanks for noticing! I believe in Jesus.
@@JimKinkadeMe too
this looks like a beef'd up version of the ae1200 that i love, damn im really interested in this now
I haven’t tried on the ae1200, but this one looks thicker.
WOW - It looks soo awesome, It has such futuristic, retro vibes for lack of a better term!
Love it!
Retro-futuristic isn't lacking as a term 😊. It's perfect
Great watch, I like the design, the complications. Yes, sometimes this cheap ones offer more functions than a g-shock.

Haha. Now you need to buy another one. You know the body is quite similar to the age-1500.

I think a lot of people are going to scoop this one up.
The excitement discovering the fishing timer was delivered perfectly. Love it
😂 It’s making me want to go fishing!
It looks like something I would have really wanted as a kid in the early 90s, which is exactly the reason I just purchased the grey version .
Casio knows exactly what they’re doing to us 80’s kids.

I saw one on Amazon. Yea, I see what you’re talking about.
hi, I hv a question , when i set a DT time, it cannot show “P “in 12H mode, just show”A”. It’s that my watch problem ?
First, make sure you’re actually in 12 hour mode.
Are you referring to the WS-1700 or a similar watch? Some Casios don’t have a separate letter P. They will display “A” for AM and display nothing for PM.
My Casio is WS-1700H-5A. No "P" in 12H mode & only have 0-11 hours in 24H mode on dual time function. 2024 Casio surprise me@@JimKinkade
Now, look what’s happened….
What do you do when the band breaks after about a year? On any of your Casios, not just this particular one.
I really liked your review. Great watch, I already want to buy it :D
WS-1700H-1AV Can't wait to get this. It's not available in my country yet.
Looks so cool! Thinking of getting the gray or the khaki one!
If you can find one!
The MIP display on the 5600 has a refresh rate of 1hz so can't keep up with anything under a second. So tenths and hundreds aren't available.
True. But what I’m telling Casio to do is still calculate the fractions of a second then display the result when the user presses STOP.
@JimKinkade you are the guy that thinks out of the box.
Yeah, fir the stop watch, the result is important than the flashing digits which human eyes can't differentiate.
Can't wait to see how you test the new Rangeman 😅
We’re gonna see just how tough it is. 💪🏻
Yeah I don't see it on the Casio site at this time, however I did order this for 21.00 the Casio WS-1300H-1AV tide and moon from Amazon
Yea, I think the WS1700 is selling out in a lot of places.
@@JimKinkade I just found it and ordered. Thanks for your continued great videos
Excellent review, Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
The analogue dial's hands really need to be bolder. I was thinking the same for my LF-20W-5ADF.
True. Or get rid of the crosshairs.
@@JimKinkade Exactly my thought!
Wow that pin buckle was almost out of holes. What are we looking at here an 8.5 inch wrist? I subbed just so you don't find me and snap me in half.
Yes, 8 1/2”. This is a durable watch. You could definitely wear it while snapping someone in half.

4:22 why are you hitting the watch with Metal pen?!!! its goanna scratch the screen. you must be really abusive to your stuff.
Which would you recommend, this or the w-800h. Thinking of buying one for my daily swim. My wrist is 6.5"
I never tried the w800h, but it looks like to would drag a lot less through the water than the ws1700, which is a little bit bulky. Nonetheless the ws1700 will fit a 6.5” wrist well.

조수간만의 차이와 달의 기울기를 낚시에 활용한다면

상당히 정확합니다.
I just bought it for 30$. looks great!
It sure does look great! Enjoy it.
Hey Jim any info on where to find your podcast you mentioned here?
I’m setting it up through RUclips. They have a native podcast feature now. I don’t know if it syndicates but you should be able to listen on the RUclips music app. Stay tuned!
Does it have world time like AE 1200?
This reminds me of GD350 which I've been putting on hold since it's out of my budget and I'm not into G-Shock. Guess I'll be getting this one instead. Thanks for the review.
Big miss if you don’t get the GD350. It’s best Gshock battery powered under 100
@@jstsephjo yea... can't deny, it's the only G-Shock I considered to get. If only I haven't found interest in mechanical watch (saving up for the new Seiko 5 GMT) 😅
If you’re on a budget this is a good option but don’t take your eyes off of saving up for the GD350.
The price point is too close to not consider the gd 350. After all, this casio watch, at the end of the day, is just a g shock emulation.
Tough solar?
No, sir. 10 year battery.
buttons are in odd position, not 45 degrees out
Yes, and they’re nestled under the plastic protrusion.

Besides of that C'mom people this guys has less than 2k subscribers and double of watchs ... Lest's give him a good push to growth
Thanks, bro! I forgot to look at the water resistance. I’ll have to get back to you on that one.
thanks man, now im a fan of ae1500W XD
AE1500 is the best!
Does Amazon sell it?
Amazon was selling it. I put a link in the comments. It may have sold out. In that case look at the Casio website. That’s where I ordered mine.
Meanwhile its round variant - WS 1500 - is available at half its price and I’m thinking of pulling the trigger (mainly because of its tantalizingly low price!)
I hadn’t heard of that one so I looked it up. It looks like Casio copied themselves again with this one.
I don’t think it’s diesel or nitrogen resistant
Sounds like a challenge!
Can AE1200 display fit in it?
I don’t know. I don’t do much modding. You don’t like this display?
Hey bro watch looks great 👍👍👍👍
Thanks! It’s sharp looking!
G'morning from the high desert of Southwest Idaho 🤠 . I bought my first watch w/ my allowance when I was a kid & I've been in the hobby ever since. I'm 49 now so it's been awhile 😋 . Is it just me or does this look like an ae1200 "royale" / dw-291 compilation ? 🤔 ..
You’re not the only one to see that comparison! Casio doesn’t ever totally reinvent the wheel.
Real shame about the LCD fading issue. Same as some of the other newly released Casios
I took it out in the sun today and it wasn’t nearly as bad. It’s under LED lights in this video.
next buy..
a nice watch case for your Casio watches collection..
The sac was $2.50. You don’t like it?!
Nice review, nice watch too, but i don't like the little analogical watch for "ants" , the same fail got the dw291, instead of that i would prefer a function indicator.
If the hands on the ant clock were a little bit bigger the watch would be so much better.
I get it, the watch is cool, but how cute is your daughter - a ball of fluff! ❤️
Thanks! That’s little Roxie!
@@JimKinkade We need more content with her hehe
Hahaha we have all these other G shocks here to watch this un boxing.
wauw as a 47 year old guy i say i love it
If you remember the 80’s you’ll love this watch!
This time I agree with you 100%, well: 90% =)
so, last time it was nothing personal (5600)
I will buy this one and 200
1700 is for PROs, anf fisherman, and 1500 for general public. 1700 is in fact version od Casi(n)o Royale. It is of OK price and I will not wait if it becommes cheaper, it is wewn now good value for the money. It is not watch for general public like 1500. I like it. Thy for your review!!
It does look really cool. It’s worth adding to the collection.
Madre mía compañero, como tratas los relojes me pones..
If a watch is weak it won’t last on my wrist.
Just drink your tea man😂
It was too hot.
Free that baby!
The toddler knows...
Still prefer 1600
Esse modelo é made china ou Japan
China.
poke, poke, drag, tap.... yup, tool watch 😅
I'm not a fan of the G Shock range. They're too loud & shouty for me and unnecessarily bulbous. The F-91W is still king in my opinion.
Ah, an F-91W Giga Chad!
Man you treat your casios like " trash" lol
They’re tough. They can handle it.
Beater watch and beater fingers. 🤣
Please humble with watches
Ok.
First!
🏆
This is more exciting than the new Rangeman! 🧗🏻♀️
Yes. No joke. The rangeman cost 10x more and isn’t 10x better.
