8:02 That's the hourly chime setting. The first alarm probably has snooze functionality, the others usually do not. Having all these gimmicks and different screen windows in one piece has an absolute appeal to the right person. It being compatible with the "Casio Royale", it probably will be a modern classic.
You're spot on, RedWyvern! 👌🎯 It turns out that first Alarm does indeed have a (very intuitively implemented) snooze alarm, which I'm loving! 😁 I agree... and those 'right people', includes ME! 🤩 It's very gadgety! Thanks for weighing in 🙏
Indeed it does, David! I've made a RUclips short about this very issue that you should check out: ruclips.net/user/shortsBuEOMsybODE I also talked about it a bit in my 1-Week Follow up review after wearing this watch: ruclips.net/video/aqPUPHqQwX8/видео.html Hope this helps! 🙏
@@goatreviews Many thanks for the reply I am not sure if you replied to my follow up question. In the dual time mode, does it dies the time in 24 hr style? Apologies if you already replied.
Yes, it's such a badass watch! 😎 Thanks so much for your support, Paul. I'm delighted that you enjoyed the review. Can't wait to give more updates when I'm ready! 🙏
Thanks so much for your support, Vodka! 🙏 I’ve recorded the review, and ‘attempted’ the swap! I don’t want to get your hopes up - but I will say it’s possible, but seems to need some trimming or adjustment 😉
Very good watch.. am tempted to buy though I've just bought GX56BB G King 2 days ago (not arrived yet 😔). The WS1700 is listed at MYR219 which is around USD46
Oh boy, Muhammad, you’re in for a treat! 🤩 My advice would be to resist the urge to buy this one until after your King arrives! 👑 After it has, you may no longer need to scratch this itch 😉 That’s a decent price, though! 👌
I have the WS-1500H which basically has the same module in a case more akin to an AE-1500. One of my favorite Casios. Will more than not get the sand variant once it hits my market.
Nice review, good looking watch with good functions but i never finish understand why casio insist with that tiny digital clock on the corner, i think that space could be more useful as a function indicator or something like that.
Glad you enjoyed it, David! 🙏😁 Man, I totally get you! 💯 I could see some people labelling it as a redundant complication - Given the digital time is right there. Although, a case could be made that it does get used for animations during timer and stopwatch etc, and it COULD be (but isn't on this model, other than Moon/Tide) used to tell the time when in other modes!
Has anyone who purchased this (US customer if there is a batch difference) noticed the dual time/second time cannot display in PM? Mine goes from 1159 AM to 1200 AM. In 24hr mode it will not go to 1200 just 1159 to 0000. I think this module is defective. I have returned mine to Casio.
Great question, Armen! 👌 I don’t know of any compatible bumpers for this model currently. If anyone else knows the answer, please chime in - I would love to know too!
Good video. Btw just got mine, the sand/tan colour. For only 28usd+-, totally worth it.and thankfully there is no issue, i think Casio already fix the bug issue for dual time, they already release the fix version maybe, and for the name can call it The Royale Beast, 😁
Thank you! 🙏 Oh man, such a dope colour choice 🤩👌 I have also purchased this one too😉 I have heard this too! Thanks for confirming. Nice nickname BTW 😎
Fair take, In5an1ty! 👌 I can see why. In fact, I've already had a couple of people think it was a G-Shock based on the size! 😂 I don't mind the size TBH, though understand it wouldn't work on all wrist sizes.
Read news that this model production has been halted due to some defects to be rectified by the company. It's available on sale though, am thinking to buy it or should wait for the company to re release this model. Do let me know
Thanks for pointing this out, Rohan! 👌 May I ask when the news was published? Thankfully I can inform you that people are saying it's been fixed already! 🙌 Personally I don't use Dual Time so don't mind, and I picked up a second 'Defective' one anyway 😅 Hope this helps! 🙏
Awesome!! 🙌 You’re going to love this watch Viknesh - it’s such a cool design and packed with features. Glad you enjoyed the review! 🙏 Would love to hear which colourway you went with 🤩
In dual time are you able to set the time in 24 hr so the glitch of no am/pm is of no concern? Many thanks any information would be greatly appreciated.
Hi have few question to ask before hitting 5k and Before buying this watch. 1. Do you feel any problem because of that but? 2. Is that bug is only with 2nd time or it is permanent with 1st time ? 3. Should i go with casio world time watch comes with map or should i purchase this one and which watch is having best build quality? 4. If i modify this watch with metallic strap will it fell premium of not and the metalic strap is lighter weight or heavier? 5. ❤
1. I don't feel any problem with the bug. I don't really use the Dual Time feature, so it doesn't affect me. 😄 2. The bug is only with Dual Time, the normal "Home Time" is not affected whatsoever 👌 3. That's a tough call! It's not up to me, but based on what you've told me, it sounds like you're a bit concerned with the size of the WS-1700H, so the AE-1200 is another great option. Both are amazing watches! 🤩 4. That depends on the strap you use. The one I installed on my AE-1200 using the SKMEI shown in the Short Video, does feel quite lightweight. 5. ❤🐐
I got a WS1100 and WS1500 from US Amazon for $114 including delivery to QLD. last month 🤷♂️ they also had the WS1700 in the 3 colours too but I don’t recall the price…
Very cool! 😎 I like the look of the WS1500 too. Oh man, that would have been interesting to know! Thanks for sharing 🙏 Hope you're enjoying your new watches!
@@goatreviews dude, I'm sorry I meant WS1300 not WS1500. I ended up up giving the WS1300 away as it was too big for my puny wrist ... It's bigger than the smallest square G-Shock!
@@oakknower2282oh right, interesting! Yep, I see what you mean. It’s crazy how a normal Casio, such as a few in the WS series can be bigger than G-Shock, without the shock resist! I’d love to know if the extra size is just “solid plastic” that could be used to house a larger G-Shock module 🤔
Interesting! 🧐 The Grey and the Sand coloured ones all cost the same on the Casio website at release… I imagine the markups on the secondary market must be caused by Supply/Demand issues. I have the Sand coloured one in my backlog, planning to mod it… although I hear Casio is re-releasing them, with a fixed module to Address the Duel-Time issue! Perhaps this will equalise the prices again 😉
5:24 just saw that on a local online store for my country. It's around 74 aus dollars when converted to your money. Freaking USA man, they get all the discounts. I also regularly see (over at the casio subreddit) other casio stuff being sold at 5 usd at US Walmarts. Feels bad man.
Not a bad price, all things considered! 74 AUD is like 48 USD, not that much more than 35 really 😜 I don’t mind paying a little extra but when the RRP here was 160 AUD it’s just a joke. Oh man, I am very familiar with the Casio Subreddit and have witnessed these insane $5 clearance pickups too… I must admit I do get jealous 😁 Cheers Ginsu! 🙏
Awesome! 🙏 Thanks for relaying this, Costa! Another mention of this nickname... though the first time I've seen it spelled like that! Any idea what the alternative "Sailor" spelling it about?
This pricing policy and the availability limited only to Japan and the USA is sad. They create unnecessary expectations, even if it were a model with incredible features and high-quality materials ... I'm definitely not looking for it until it's in the local shop and even discounted, importing it from Japan or the USA costs a fortune in ridiculous duties and taxes. That said, I already like the version in the "Royale" case more than the original one (too big). All these "entry" models apart from the various versions of the modules, share the same form-factor, which explains the possibility of moving them between the various cases. They basically just have to "shape" the outside of the resin cases. Nice and sincere review, it helped me eliminate the hype I had about this watch.
Indeed it is. 😢 If only there was a way we could be immune from the hype, if we weren't able to get them as easily! 😜 It's definitely a smart move to be patient with this one, and wait for the hype to die down. I can see many people wanting to do this! Absolutely, it does look nice and sleek in the Royale case 👌 Though I must admit I am quite fond of the bulky 'G-Shock-like-" case it comes with too 😄 You know, I wonder how much the thicker bezel and case would affect its shock resistance! 🤔 (Though I understand it's not a G-Shock of course) No problems, my friend! 🙏 I'm really pleased my review could help you come to a clear minded decision.
I am in Australia, where we aren't within range of the MultiBand 6 towers - So it's hard to remain unbiased 😄 I would say that it's an amazing feature for those who are within range of the towers, as it automatically ensures your clock is accurate to the second, every day! 👌 But should every watch have it? The answer is no, because it would make some otherwise-affordable watches (that don't really need MB6) much more expensive.
@@goatreviews Very good points you made there my friend, I wish you can have the towers so you can use it, anyways Casio watches are accurate enough in my opinion, thanks for responding.
Indeed it is, Kerr! Oh man... I'd have loved for it to be Solar too! 🤩 (One of my fav features) However, I'm happy for it to be without it too, since it means making it a more accessible price for others (On paper, but in reality it's somehow ridiculously expensive anyway, right? 😂) You're a smart one. It'll be worth the wait! 👌
Looks great, congratulations. But to be honest, I think I'll skip this one, or any Casio tide graph model. Casio's semi-diurnal tide cycle don't match the diurnal tide in my area :D
Cheers Sam! 🙏 That’s a fair enough reason to skip this one. 👌 I must admit, I find myself also drawn to watches based on their designs - even if I know I won’t make full use of all of the features 😅 Did you have any thoughts on the overall design of the WS-1700H?
Sorry for late reply, I must've overlooked the notification. I've just found out that this model is starting to get sold in my country at a very reasonable price, and suddenly remember this comment I made. It looks cool with the square design and the stuff on the display, typical of Casio. And considering the price, I will grab one just for the looks :D
All good, @@SamsWatchReview 😁👌 Awesome!! 🙌 It's a really cool model - I think you'll really appreciate its features (If you don't mind the Dual Time issue). Enjoy!
@@maximushornet Thanks Max. Oh yes, I am aware of the app pairing. 👌 I do think that people without access to the app should have an easier way of adjusting it, with buttons on the watch itself!
If you look it from the side it looks like a spider so call it the SPIDERBOT, Mine comes today i bought the sand colour one here it cost 46€,only have one problem can not set the watch in dual time in pm only am
Haha, awesome! 🕷 Thanks for the suggestion, Rony! 🙏 The sand colour looks amazing 🤩 Oh yes, I heard about this issue with the Dual Time as well! I tried this with mine and can see the issue. I might make a Short about this, or will at least cover it in my 1 week review.
@@goatreviews yeah who'd a thought. just bought one - a g shock looking cross with a royale but with tide and moon - couldn't resist! Dual time problem and all - don't care. If only the mudmasters had tide...
@@thesolver1970 Brilliant! 👌 Hope you enjoy your WS-1700H as much as I am - In fact I was wearing mine on an adventure today 🤩 Likewise - Dual Time isn't an issue for me. That would be a cool addition to MudMasters! 👌
Thanks Ronch 🙏 Honestly, quite a good pickup for that price considering the features it offers! 👌 (If you’re ok with the Dual Time issue) Very happy with mine! 🤩
Cheers for the thoughts, Colin! 👌 Yep, I can see it's not for everyone. It's definitely a look sleeker looking in the 1200 case! I do kinda dig the boldness of the standard case too though 😄
@marklavric8323 That's true - But we do have other benefits! There's a positive to living in each place, Casio prices might not always be one of them 😉 For example, I feel like Australia is a relatively 'safe' country - Which I am very grateful for. What's something positive about where you're from?
It's so hard to think .. even my f91w . I brought it 972 PHP . Here in Philippines and my 1 whole minimum work a day is only 570 PHP . Ain't even enough
Hey GOAT, Could you consider checking out and reviewing the OHSEN (G shock rep) Ohsen 2202. Would love to have you review it. And great review as usual
G’day SpaceStrike! Thanks for the feedback, and for the suggestion. 👌 At first glance, it looks to be a GBD-200 clone - Interesting! 🤔 I have added it to my list for further consideration. Thank you! 🙏
@@goatreviews Awesome man, would love to see your opinion. Will keep my eyes peeled. Maybe there’s something wrong with me, but I really get drawn to those bright colored watches haha. You definitely earned my sub, keep up the balance between cool real watches and great replicas!
This is indeed a great idea, Youwebz! 🙏👌 I did have a quick look to see if I could do this, but it seemed to be too much trouble at the time. Considering I had an account with Buyee Japan, it was a more acceptable option for me. 😁 Also, in general, I have found shipping from US to AUS to be unreasonably expensive for some reason… I’d love to find out why sometime 🤔
That would be cool! Actually I heard from someone in a Casio Facebook group this week, that Casio has now released the fixed version!! 👀 I haven’t been able to verify this though.
G’day Stumble! 👋 The WS-1700H doesn’t have a ‘World Time’ mode, but does feature a ‘Dual Time’, which theoretically allows you to track a second time zone. Unfortunately, this feature is bugged on this particular watch 🥲 (As shown in my follow up review for this watch)
Cheers for the Nickname suggestion, Matt! 🙏 Oh man, I feel your pain. Here's to hoping a reasonable price comes up for you! 🤞 I'll be making sure the shopping link I provided has some options until the demand dies down a bit.
Interesting idea! 💡 I don’t know, unfortunately. 🤔 I’m not sure which size would fit this, as it seems uniquely bulky. So I doubt AE-1200 Bull Bars would fit!
It is a bit big, and I can understand some smaller wrists not being a fan of it. Although much like G-Shocks, it’s normal for them to run a little large - in my opinion it looks fine 😁👌
@@drumdrumcymbal1594 Ah, I get what you mean 😁 I’m yet to experience a SANDA, but I will say there’s a difference in quality between Casio and SKMEI, but nothing too major 👌
Cheers @@drumdrumcymbal1594 ! 🙏 Thanks for the suggestion! Hmmm, I don’t have one in the backlog but I do have a similar model number! The GWM-5000 (perhaps a metal case version of the GW-5000?) Does the GW-5000 have the nice large buttons, and/or Bluetooth?
ae 1200 looks much better and sleaker than this bulky fellow... good that u can exchange the module with the ae 1200 with some tweaking, wich make it a casio royale mare edition..:)
Some do prefer the sleekness of the Royale - and I can appreciate this 😄👌 I know the WS-1700H is bulkier, but honestly I do love this about it 🤩 I'd love to try the module swap some time too 👀
Bought one from anaconda for khaki colour for $89.99 plus $10 other stuff for free shipping. No way paying famoulsy Insane Rip off prices of oz land !!.
Oh yeah! Nice colourway choice. 👌 I bought one too and it looks amazing 🤩 Great idea - Someone advised me of the Anaconda sale too! (Sadly after I’d already bought mine 😅)
Haha, thanks for the suggestion Iftikar. 🙏 It's something I'd have to consider if the circumstances were right - Apple watches aren't exactly cheap, and I'm not super appealed by them. Maybe I'll borrow on to review some day!
Aww man. I can see that this watch might be what some would consider "too big" for smaller wrist sizes. But there's hope on the Horizon! Modding this module into an AE-1200 should look much better on all wrist sizes 👌😁 I'm planning to give this mod a shot in my follow up review.

It's definitely a smart move to be patient with this one, and wait for the hype to die down. I can see many people wanting to do this! Absolutely, it does look nice and sleek in the Royale case 👌 Though I must admit I am quite fond of the bulky 'G-Shock-like-" case it comes with too 😄
You know, I wonder how much the thicker bezel and case would affect its shock resistance! 🤔 (Though I understand it's not a G-Shock of course)
No problems, my friend! 🙏 I'm really pleased my review could help you come to a clear minded decision.
Its nice but if its too expensive id rather pick up a good second hand g-7900 off ebay ...which is tougher and got a better tide and moon graph
Cool recommendation! That one does look cool. 👌 Thank you DM 🙏
Hi, what do you think of mutliband 6, is it a feature the evrey watch should have?
I am in Australia, where we aren't within range of the MultiBand 6 towers - So it's hard to remain unbiased 😄
I would say that it's an amazing feature for those who are within range of the towers, as it automatically ensures your clock is accurate to the second, every day! 👌
But should every watch have it? The answer is no, because it would make some otherwise-affordable watches (that don't really need MB6) much more expensive.
@@goatreviews Very good points you made there my friend, I wish you can have the towers so you can use it, anyways Casio watches are accurate enough in my opinion, thanks for responding.
$160AUD is a bit rich for this - although I'd probably pay $200 if it was solar ☀ still planning to nab one once the hype dies down tho
Indeed it is, Kerr! Oh man... I'd have loved for it to be Solar too! 🤩 (One of my fav features) However, I'm happy for it to be without it too, since it means making it a more accessible price for others (On paper, but in reality it's somehow ridiculously expensive anyway, right? 😂)
You're a smart one. It'll be worth the wait! 👌
Is this mineral glass or resin?
@@agb137 Hi mate! I’ve just verified on Casio’s website for you: It’s a Resin Glass 👌
Looks great, congratulations.
But to be honest, I think I'll skip this one, or any Casio tide graph model. Casio's semi-diurnal tide cycle don't match the diurnal tide in my area :D
Cheers Sam! 🙏
That’s a fair enough reason to skip this one. 👌
I must admit, I find myself also drawn to watches based on their designs - even if I know I won’t make full use of all of the features 😅
Did you have any thoughts on the overall design of the WS-1700H?
Sorry for late reply, I must've overlooked the notification. I've just found out that this model is starting to get sold in my country at a very reasonable price, and suddenly remember this comment I made.
It looks cool with the square design and the stuff on the display, typical of Casio. And considering the price, I will grab one just for the looks :D
All good, @@SamsWatchReview 😁👌
Awesome!! 🙌 It's a really cool model - I think you'll really appreciate its features (If you don't mind the Dual Time issue).
Enjoy!
900 times .? ? Just pair with the casio app and setup tide in seconds for gbx100 honestly
@@maximushornet Thanks Max. Oh yes, I am aware of the app pairing. 👌
I do think that people without access to the app should have an easier way of adjusting it, with buttons on the watch itself!
If you look it from the side it looks like a spider so call it the SPIDERBOT, Mine comes today i bought the sand colour one here it cost 46€,only have one problem can not set the watch in dual time in pm only am
Haha, awesome! 🕷 Thanks for the suggestion, Rony! 🙏 The sand colour looks amazing 🤩 Oh yes, I heard about this issue with the Dual Time as well! I tried this with mine and can see the issue. I might make a Short about this, or will at least cover it in my 1 week review.
Anaconda has them at the moment for $AUD89 in grey and black - not many left though
Thanks so much for sharing this Star Bat!! ⭐️🦇
I had no idea Anaconda stocked watches at all! 🤯
I just checked and see them in stock 🤩🙏
@@goatreviews yeah who'd a thought. just bought one - a g shock looking cross with a royale but with tide and moon - couldn't resist! Dual time problem and all - don't care. If only the mudmasters had tide...
@@thesolver1970 Brilliant! 👌 Hope you enjoy your WS-1700H as much as I am - In fact I was wearing mine on an adventure today 🤩
Likewise - Dual Time isn't an issue for me. That would be a cool addition to MudMasters! 👌
Es un reloj impresionante 😍👍
¡Seguro que sí, Marcos! 🤩👌 Gracias por opinar 🙏
In my country it's around $48.70 right now, converted.
Thanks Ronch 🙏 Honestly, quite a good pickup for that price considering the features it offers! 👌
(If you’re ok with the Dual Time issue)
Very happy with mine! 🤩
@@goatreviews I think I'll wait about a year before picking this up. Hopefully by then prices would've stabilized too. Or if could also be higher..
@@ronch550 Good call. Do what makes sense, my friend! 👌 Casio could even fix the Dual Time issue and re-release by then! 🤷🏻♂️
@@goatreviews yeah. Allowing some time to pass also makes you realize whether you really like something or not.
I couldn't agree more, @@ronch550 💯
There's a good reason people tell you to 'sleep on it' for important decisions 😁
I am not a fan of the bezel. The faceplate and module are cool though. The case for the 1200 is alot nicer!
Cheers for the thoughts, Colin! 👌 Yep, I can see it's not for everyone. It's definitely a look sleeker looking in the 1200 case! I do kinda dig the boldness of the standard case too though 😄
Why Casio is so cheap in US .. and from other country is expensive . Only US .. why😢
Why??? Cause we all others arond globe pay much more😢. Do you get it? Sorry; I am in same shit like like you are.
Great question, Yugi! 🙏 I'm all for a 'free market', but would love to see other countries shown some more love by Casio with stock allocations! 👌
@marklavric8323 That's true - But we do have other benefits! There's a positive to living in each place, Casio prices might not always be one of them 😉
For example, I feel like Australia is a relatively 'safe' country - Which I am very grateful for.
What's something positive about where you're from?
@@goatreviews Great country: Alps, Adriatic See, middle of Europe, good people, good place to live,… I like my Country- sLOVEnia
It's so hard to think .. even my f91w . I brought it 972 PHP . Here in Philippines and my 1 whole minimum work a day is only 570 PHP . Ain't even enough
Hey GOAT, Could you consider checking out and reviewing the OHSEN (G shock rep) Ohsen 2202. Would love to have you review it.
And great review as usual
G’day SpaceStrike! Thanks for the feedback, and for the suggestion. 👌
At first glance, it looks to be a GBD-200 clone - Interesting! 🤔 I have added it to my list for further consideration. Thank you! 🙏
@@goatreviews Awesome man, would love to see your opinion. Will keep my eyes peeled. Maybe there’s something wrong with me, but I really get drawn to those bright colored watches haha. You definitely earned my sub, keep up the balance between cool real watches and great replicas!
@@goatreviews although sometimes I like the clones more because you can get so many for so cheap
Haha, I tend to like 'unique' watches too, whether it be bright, or otherwise. Thanks so much for the support, SpaceStrike! 🙏
Yeah I agree, it's important to have a balance, and the value of the clones makes it so tempting to buy them in bulk haha 😁
Why not just buy it from Casio US and get it sent to a US address / freight forwarder?
This is indeed a great idea, Youwebz! 🙏👌
I did have a quick look to see if I could do this, but it seemed to be too much trouble at the time. Considering I had an account with Buyee Japan, it was a more acceptable option for me. 😁
Also, in general, I have found shipping from US to AUS to be unreasonably expensive for some reason… I’d love to find out why sometime 🤔
Perfect for this price.
Cheers Alex! I reckon it's still a great pickup, too 👌
How's the alarm volume 🔊 btw?
Man, the alarm volume is IMPRESSIVELY loud 🤩👌 Thanks for the suggestion, I'll cover this in the 1 week review 🙏
the glass screen makes it look super cheap for some reason
Interesting! 🤔 Perhaps a better fit might look better
If it worked correctly it would be great
That would be cool! Actually I heard from someone in a Casio Facebook group this week, that Casio has now released the fixed version!! 👀 I haven’t been able to verify this though.
@goatreviews Much appreciated...i will definitely keep an eye open for them.
Does this watch had world time
G’day Stumble! 👋 The WS-1700H doesn’t have a ‘World Time’ mode, but does feature a ‘Dual Time’, which theoretically allows you to track a second time zone. Unfortunately, this feature is bugged on this particular watch 🥲 (As shown in my follow up review for this watch)
@@goatreviews thank you for telling this. I loved the design but as you say the watch is disaster and have some bugs.
Doea this bud also having in india 😢@@goatreviews
@@StumbleNutYes, I believe the bug is international 🥲
Thanks bro
Hi Technical, yes indeed it can!
The Home Time can be adjusted to reflect any time zone, including India 🇮🇳👌
When is the 1 week review?
Thanks for your patience 🙏 I’ve recorded it, but need to finish editing it. It will be released this coming week 😁
We call it the Sailor Moon in the states.
Haha, that's a good one. I remember the old cartoon series with that name!... Something about fighting evil by Daylight? 😂 Thanks for the suggestion 🙏
I quite like the nickname the Fisher king. I'm going to get one, but based in the U.K.will be ripped off compared to Japan and the US.
Cheers for the Nickname suggestion, Matt! 🙏 Oh man, I feel your pain. Here's to hoping a reasonable price comes up for you! 🤞 I'll be making sure the shopping link I provided has some options until the demand dies down a bit.
can it take bull bars?
Interesting idea! 💡
I don’t know, unfortunately. 🤔 I’m not sure which size would fit this, as it seems uniquely bulky. So I doubt AE-1200 Bull Bars would fit!
@@goatreviews hmm, new project for me I guess.. seiko mods have gotten a bit old for me...too easy now
@@thesolver1970 Haha, time to step into new turf! 😁👌 If you come up with a Bullbar that fits, I'd love to hear whatever it is! 🙏
Hong Kong HKD$220 each
So like $28 USD? That sounds like a very good price to me! 🤩👌
That cazzzzio looks good
Yezzzz it does! 🤣 Cheers Will 🙏
Its look great. But big i think
It is a bit big, and I can understand some smaller wrists not being a fan of it. Although much like G-Shocks, it’s normal for them to run a little large - in my opinion it looks fine 😁👌
it's not too big
bro give a700 to me u say when i repare this watch u give its time to give the watch
Hi Abhay, I'll need some time to plan out how I'd go about doing my first giveaway. I appreciate your patience. 🙏
Available in India for around 25 USD lol
Now THAT is a bargain! 🤩 $10 cheaper than the USA! Lucky, my friend 😄🍀👌
@@goatreviews my brother ordered one today lol
Incredible! Man, you could probably flip them on eBay for a profit to people like me 👀😂
Enjoy the watch, brother! 🙏 it's a great one 👌
Without the Casio logo, this could be any knockoff from Temu.
I’m not sure I follow, DrumDrum. Are you saying that the quality of the watch or its overall design looks like a cheap knockoff?
@@goatreviews Casio, Skmei, Sanda etc if you remove the logo it could be any of these brands.
Love the channel..............can you mod the CASIO GW-5000U-1ER ........cheers
@@drumdrumcymbal1594 Ah, I get what you mean 😁
I’m yet to experience a SANDA, but I will say there’s a difference in quality between Casio and SKMEI, but nothing too major 👌
Cheers @@drumdrumcymbal1594 ! 🙏
Thanks for the suggestion! Hmmm, I don’t have one in the backlog but I do have a similar model number! The GWM-5000 (perhaps a metal case version of the GW-5000?)
Does the GW-5000 have the nice large buttons, and/or Bluetooth?
The Tide Guide* 😂
LOL this is a good one! Love the rhyme 😁👌
👍Cool
Cheers Casioholik! 🙏⌚
ae 1200 looks much better and sleaker than this bulky fellow...
good that u can exchange the module with the ae 1200 with some tweaking,
wich make it a casio royale mare edition..:)
Some do prefer the sleekness of the Royale - and I can appreciate this 😄👌
I know the WS-1700H is bulkier, but honestly I do love this about it 🤩
I'd love to try the module swap some time too 👀
Like befor seeing
What a legend 😎🙏
Go to japan buy watches come back to Australia . How you get cheap watches. (Ironic 😂)
Hahaha, man I’m gonna have to use this as an excuse to plan a trip 😜
Otherwise, I’ll just have to use Buyee to get things from Japan when needed 😅
Bought one from anaconda for khaki colour for $89.99 plus $10 other stuff for free shipping. No way paying famoulsy Insane Rip off prices of oz land !!.
Oh yeah! Nice colourway choice. 👌 I bought one too and it looks amazing 🤩
Great idea - Someone advised me of the Anaconda sale too! (Sadly after I’d already bought mine 😅)
Why are you pronouncing it as 'Cazio' ?
It feels natural to me as an Aussie 😁🇦🇺
@@goatreviews Do you say 'classic' or 'clazzic' ?
@@dparish1000 Classic. But we say ‘Aussie’ like ‘Auzzie’ 😁
Bro compare an Apple watch to a CASIO ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Haha, thanks for the suggestion Iftikar. 🙏 It's something I'd have to consider if the circumstances were right - Apple watches aren't exactly cheap, and I'm not super appealed by them. Maybe I'll borrow on to review some day!
@@goatreviewsBro it will be legendary 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
@@iftikaralam1oOne 💯💯💯🙌🙌🙌
anaconda Australia sell this for around 80 aud for anyone is aus wanting one
Cheers for pointing this out, Red Dog! 🙏 I'm vouching that this is true, and big news for us Aussie's! 🦘🤙
Too big for Asian
Aww man. I can see that this watch might be what some would consider "too big" for smaller wrist sizes. But there's hope on the Horizon! Modding this module into an AE-1200 should look much better on all wrist sizes 👌😁 I'm planning to give this mod a shot in my follow up review.
I bought mine for the $35 dollar the sand and black. Waiting for mine to come. $160 is nuts
