  • A review of the Casio WS-1700H-1AV (Casio WS1700h) which was first released in January 2024. This watch has a tide graph and moon phase feature as well as an analogue digital display. There were three versions of the watch when first released WS-1700H-1AV (black), WS-1700H-8AV (grey) and WS-1700H-5AV (Khaki). Originally launched in Japan, North America and certain parts of Asia, the first batch of the release was discovered to include a production flaw which concerns the dual time. Production has been paused to fix the flaw and it has yet to be launched properly in Europe and the UK. In this video, we uncover the features of the watch and find out what the flaw is.

    So there's a flaw with this watch , thanks for pointing this out. That explains why my order from Amazon is delayed. Great Channel , you really explain into detail , I like that. I'm from New Jersey , USA and I just subscribed to your channel. I look forward to more of your videos in the future.

    Great video, liked and subscribed. As l live in the UK I bought one from the far east (2 weeks wait for it to arrive) my watch has the same problem with the dual time mode but it shows 'A' for both am and pm. I don't use this feature anyway so it's not a problem for me. It actually makes the watch a bit more interesting 👍

      Hi Tim. I see that you are a Seiko and Casio enthusiast as well so I subscribed. I guess that we'll have a story to tell with this watch when it's eventually re-stocked and hopefully fixed.

    Dual Time always feels like an extra mode to skip past anyway. It's punishment for watches too cheap to have World Time.

    The "bumpers" on the watch strap are intended to center the watch on the back of the wrist. Without them, larger watches tend to roll away from the thumb and towards the pinky.
    Shock absorber in the event of a drop? LOL.

    7:02 same problem with the WS-1500H dual time cannot tell am or pm as well. Basically cannot track a time above 12 hours.
    8:11 WS-1500H firmware on mine is 37:6851 so even with a step up of 1 unit it still has the same problem.

    I have the same issue with my ws1500h fishing moon phase. The 24hr time on the DT function always shows 0:00 for midnight and noon. never shows 1300 1400 1500 1600 1700 1800 1900 2000 2100 2200 2300. Just 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 1000 1100 0000 then 100. THIS IS SLSO HAPPENING ON MY WS-1500H

    Hola amigos, solo quiero decir que mi casio MOD: ws-1500 tiene el mismo defecto. Seguramente los módulos del 1500 y 1700 sean iguales.
    Tengo que decir que para mi no es ningún problema. Pero comprendo que para otras personas si puede serlo.

      Utiliza el mismo firmware 3768 que el WS1500, por eso el mismo problema ocurre en ambos relojes.

    I couldn't care less for dual time, tide or moon graph. I have over 50 digital watches in my collection and with them pretty much any function I'll ever need or want. BUT, the -5 model in khaki (coyote tan) looks so bad ass military, it's like a scream in your face. I will purchase one once they are back on track just for the sake of looks. Oh and I can guarantee you, the current ones with the dual time flaw, will become highly demanded "collecting pieces" somewhere in the future, as sick and crazy as it is but you'll make a fortune one day with those.

    Why do you give case measurements in cm & strap & your wrist size in mm? All should be on mm which is the world wide standard.
