Am interested in buying this watch, its available in sale ,should wait for the new rectified model release by casio or should go ahead and buy the one available now , please do clear my confusion.
I honestly don't know if it's already solved, let me pin your comment so that other audience can help :) (I read somewhere that someone bought an already fixed one, but I forgot where).
@@SamsWatchReview yep checked out with few other watch reviewers as well it's been fixed now and they got the am-pm issue working properly in dual time mode. Although the watch is sold out everywhere , need to wait for new stock , even the AE1200 also.
Thank you, I finally received the replacement unit. I think I've got too many black color variant, so I guess a grey one is better :D Have a great day!
I ordered this watch back in early February from Amazon and I just received it yesterday. When I ordered it I was told there was a backorder on the watch and told it should arrive by June. I did receive the updated version of the watch. In dual time the indicator does switch from AM to PM.
I was confused between this watch and ws1300h but decided to go with ws1300h because it really has tide graph and the blue tide really looks nice , something which ws1700h lacks. Also tide graph in ws1700h is so small and it defeats it's main purpose as a tide graph special watch I guess. I also live in mixed diurnal tide area so I guess it's not that important but I like ws1300h more. Great review as also bro! Keep it up
There are 3 tidal patterns: diurnal (about 1 high and 1 low per day), semi-diurnal (2 highs and 2 lows), and mixed (2 unequal highs and 2 unequal lows). For more reference, I added links for more details in the description.
About those tidal patterns, I didn't find casio mention that information both in official site and operation manual. Where did you find out only one tidal pattern can apply?@@SamsWatchReview
So far your reviews are the most detailed and has the real information I need. Example the Snooze alarms , auto repeat function in timer. By the way do you have reviews of A500WA , AE2000W ,AE1300W and WS1600H ?
Yes, we have them in this channel :D A500 th-cam.com/video/O0wTKCRXFlw/w-d-xo.html AE2000 th-cam.com/video/5lodpmReHvo/w-d-xo.html AE1300 th-cam.com/video/pl2xW7PnZQ8/w-d-xo.html WS1600 th-cam.com/video/9U9kSZsVsn0/w-d-xo.html
Cool watch. I have the WS-1500H, being the main difference, besides design, that mine shows a fishing graph and not a tide graph. Mine was launched in January 2023, and ir also has issues with the dual time. It only shows between 1-12 hs, and it doesn’t have any indication of am or pm. As to analog clock, the WS-1500 was the first that had animations instead of always showing the time. I like it better this way because as a way to show the time it’s basically useless. Btw, my WS-1500 is blue and your WS-1700 looks more blue than gray most of the time on my screen :).
Hi, thank you for sharing. So, the "dual time" issue happens at least twice, hmm. By the way, thank you so much for pointing out the color difference. My video lighting color balance is not the best; the white is a bit off, I should have compensated it in the camera while shooting. It will be improved in the future.
What i hate the most is the tide graph moon phase too small,better not to have it at all,to make it more annoying that flaw in Dual time 😂,but main main reason i couldn't resist is the size is so good for a big or skinny person with a wrist more than 7.5 inch like me,pengen kebeli tapi terpaksa di skip aja.. Now i have to consider the smaller Ws1600h which has better big digits display especially on day and date,has world time eventhough the design similiar to Casino royale and i like Ws1600h more than that famous Casino royale I hope if casio ever made an upgrade or produce design quite similiar to Ws1700h,they ditch that tiny moon phase,tide graph feature and add World time feature instead a Dual time and do better by not using led amber light as iluminator,maybe swicthing to white led light or green led light,i know maybe its too much to ask,but once in a while why not listen to what consumer wants to improve better..

Great rundown, Sam! 👌That Grey version looks SO NICE with the black case and buckle 🤩 Thanks for the shoutout! 🙏

Thank you, and also thanks for sharing. That's a good point too (about the size of the tide graph).
I am experiencing the same problem with the WS-1500h watch.
Thank you for sharing. I hope Casio will fix this problem in future release :)
Please explain more about those two types of tides.
There are 3 tidal patterns: diurnal (about 1 high and 1 low per day), semi-diurnal (2 highs and 2 lows), and mixed (2 unequal highs and 2 unequal lows). For more reference, I added links for more details in the description.
Thanks man!😉@@SamsWatchReview
You're welcome :)

@@jimlee3725 the graph on the watch shows one high and one low in about 12 hours cycle, then that's semi-diurnal (half day)
In the countdown timer you see the time under the anolog clock
Yes, thank you, I didn't mention that in the video :)

Rumor has it that you can put this module into an AE1200 case
Very nice review. Subscribed. 👍✌️
Awesome, thank you!
Are there any casio watches which show accurate tides info for mixed semidirunal tides? or shows data for all types of tides?
I don't know any.
As far as I know, the better alternatives are from Nixon and Rip Curl.
Mine also got the dual time issue
Hopefully, they'll fix this bug in the next production batch.
WS-1300h or WS-1700h, which one is ur recommendation.
It depends on your preference. But to me, it's the simpler display layout of the WS1300 :)
Thank you. I also think ws-1700h, kind of busy dial design for me (it my personal opinion).
I have 6’2 - 6’5
Is it okay for my wrist to
Hey Sam just an update got this watch today and they have rectified the dual time issue now ,so it working the intended job to do well.
That's a great news. Thank you for sharing.
When setting time on dual time can u still view the time in 24 hr format?
With 24H format, the dual time still skips 12 ~ 24.
Anyway, the current time is shown on the upper line as 24H (next to the "DT" sign).
I dont care about its problems am getting it either way
They have a compass mode?
Unfortunately, no :)
I have an armitron digital watch that refuses to cooperate with it's dual time feature. Very annoying since i have to use math. 😂
Ahaha, that's annoying :D

The WS1600 is also great, same features as the AE1300 but with a better display layout.
Is the issues with this model fixed ?
@@rishilsha2636 yep it's fixed now
👌🏼
