Yeah I've heard from both sides of this opinion - It seems like it's very important for some, and not a big deal for others 😅 I agree, it would be more practical to show the current time 👌 Thanks for weighing in @@TatikNita 🙏
Its the faceplate. There are a couple little notches on the one that isn't on the ws1700. I shaved those down with a bit of sandpaper and it dropped in perfectly, sat in just right.
Mordecai, I want to thank you SO much for sharing this useful information me! 🙏 I am relieved that it’s not the module itself to be trimmed! 😅 I’ve just had another WS-1700H arrive, and I do plan on completing this mod eventually. Thanks again for sharing!! 🫡
Word of advice for the strap keeper on the skmei and casio...is to just flip the keeper around. So that the side with the 2 circles would be on the outside and slit would be inside
Not sure if it's been commented, or if I've already commented here at all- but a great review for a great watch! A couple things- my theory on the strap and catch is that it's ridged so it's not easy to slip around when wet against your skin, and has the slight split to make it easier to adjust when your fingers are actually wet. Also, the swap for the 1700 to the 1200 IS possible! Just finished it tonight. If you file and clip the upper and lower edge of the face plate for the 1700, it sits further down on the "glass", and the module will seat down like it was made for it. Keep up the great work!
Hi Conan! I remember you - you have commented here before a couple of months back 😁👌 This is a good theory, that would make sense. Awesome!! 🙌 I was waiting to hear the exact points that needed to be trimmed, and you have been the first to advise me! Thanks so much for weighing in! 🙏
Indeed it would, @@John-mf6ky ! 👌 Mannn that would be the ULTIMATE WS-1700H 🤩 I’m not sure about applying a coloured film, as it looks like there’s already some applied to the separate sections. Maybe I could go around it, or do it in parts! 🤔
Hi goat reviews,it’s nice to see another video of my favorite TH-cam channel. When i see the video premiere time I said to my self” is it a whole 17 hours!?”😅. Love your channel and the Casio bumblebee🐝😁
G'day, my friend! 👋 I'm both flattered and honored to be your favourite channel on TH-cam. 😁 Thanks so much! 🙏 Not long to go now! Looking forward to seeing you for the premiere 👌 Awesome! 🙌 By the way, I am wearing my Casio Bumblebee right now! 🐝🔥
Nice work on the lug mod! Very cool. I’m currently rocking a WS1100 in grey on a 18mm black and grey single piece nylon strap, so I was delighted to see I wasn’t alone in this trend 😅
Update on my 2x WS-1700s. Casio offered me a 25% discount on the next purchase only valid on certain watches but I bought a new Rangeman for $380 instead of $500.
Awesome! 🙌 That’s a very nice solution for you, especially when utilised on a watch in that price range! Nice savings - hope you enjoy the Rangeman! 👌 Thanks for the update Mr RBB 🙏
I wanted to like the the LF-20W but it turned out tiny on my wrist 🙁 Still keen on this 1700, but they seem scarce or pricey at best - has Casio done a recall after all? Agree about all your gripes - except for the size!
Ah man, that’s a shame. Have you considered bulking it out with a 22mm strap like I have? The adapters and NATO are quite cheap, and give it a lot more wrist presence than the default strap. Yep - I couldn’t agree more! I think the remaining stop will slowly dry up until Casio decides how to handle the Dual Time issue. No “recall” per se, but I have heard from a viewer that he was offered a refund for a return if he wanted to, when he reported the issue.
Amazingly intuitive solution, Edward! 💯 I might have to upgrade mine with this too 😄 Fair call, this might explain it TBH. Nice NATO choice! 👌 I actually repped a White and Blue striped one today 😎
Thanks Travis. 🙏 I reckon the button placement IS something you could get used to given enough time, however, if you’re someone who is constantly rotating through watches each day, it’s never going to stick. Better to be consistent with the placement in my opinion! 😁👌
Awesome, the black/red nato strap looks great. Anyway, I will try using nylon strap for sgw300, should also fit. Right now I'm still waiting for the replacement ahaha
Cheers Sam! 🙏 I agree - I went with the Red one, and have also been swapping it out with other 22mm straps each time I wear it 😁 Awesome, that will look amazing with a nylon strap 👌 Hope your replacement WS-1700H arrives shortly, so you can start enjoying it! 🤩
2:00 The databank calculator (DBC-32D) watches share this feature. And the dedicated databank (DB-36) watch uses a 7-segment display for the letter. That said, 24 HOUR NOTATION SUPERIORITY! Which avoids the 12th hour ambiguity. For which the B640W shows a 24H indicator. The entire watch feels like it's made by a new generation, judging by the overabundance of features, duel time bug and bulkier design. There's a great anecdote on a similar situation with early TI logic chips. It'll be interesting to see if this trend continues in Casio's designs down the line.
Brilliant! I’m glad this is becoming a thing. (This was the first time I’d seen it) 👌 Hahaha, 24 hour mode would resolve this ambiguity - and I do plan on trialing it for a while in the future to see how I like it 😉 I’d does indeed.

I look forward to seeing the direction Casio takes, and also how they handle the bug. Thanks for weighing in, RedWyvern! 🙏
Yes it is incompatible with the original casio AE 1200 swap. But if you bought yourself a cheap clone of a AE 1200 like a KO china brand synoke the modular will fit in perfectly. I just tried it recently. But you have to use an original casio AE 1200 backplate coz the synoke one has a bit of bulging backplate. The button is a bit loose but workable. Can't afford at the moment with skxmods, but there is a cheaper alternative if you wish to try..happy modding folks! 😊
Interesting! Actually I do have a Synoke clone of this that I haven’t opened yet 👀👌 As a matter of fact, I just had a metal case arrive from AliExpress this week too 😁 Can’t wait to test this out! Thanks so much for the tips! 🙏
The black/red strap is the biz dude! And defo the surfer for watch of the week! How about chopping a $10 Skmei Royale to fit the ws1700 module. Or just wait for the Skmei ws-1700 bound to be one with the hype it's getting!
Cheers Paul!! 😁 I dig that red strap too. 👌 It looks like the SKMEI 2091 has won the poll - But not to worry! The Shark watch will make an appearance in the future 🏄♂️ I'd consider doing the SKMEI Royale housing - Thats a good idea! But, I'd still have to trim the faceplate of the WS-1700H. Fortunately, I've had another one arrive that I may attempt this with 😉 Haha, I'd LOVE to see how SKMEI handle copying Moon phase and Tide graphs! I haven't seen that before... As we know they haven't really even cloned the world map feature properly, based on the A500W clone 😂
Me neither! In face I’ve used these very same adapters before without issue. Maybe they drilled the holes too wide with this set, or provided the wrong spring bars. Fat bars, eh? I’ll look into them! Thanks for the suggestion 🙏
Don't use duel time so not an issue for me! And have same keeper on my DW2300 G-Shock and just turned it round so two holes were on top and slot was underneath!
Awesome - It feels good to have the Dual Time be a non-issue, right? 😁👌 Excellent idea! That would resolve it getting caught and jammed. Thanks for sharing, Paul! 🙏
SKXMOD has a recent video where he drops a WS-1700H module in one of his royale cases. I’m kind of surprised it wasn’t a straight swap between the factory cases, but I also can’t remember if he made modifications to make it fit.
I appreciate it, David! 🙏 I don’t recall seeing any metal insert on the inside of the case. I have been advised by a viewer comment that the reason it doesn’t fit is because of the faceplate, which can indeed be sanded down to allow it to fit 👌
I would prefer the moon phase be where the large dial is so it's easier to read and then wherever the tide stuff is make that a larger rectangle to make that easier to read :-)
@goatreviews absolutely! The biggest disappointments bring the biggest joys in life, I have found. Please, when you do complete this module swap..... post it on the Casio subreddit❤️ I figured you probably will anyhow. You definitely have a subscriber for life. And soon to be supporter.. Keep up the great work I wish I was doing! Godspeed
It's a shame that you couldn't enter the modules correctly to complete the swap. I had hoped so… There will be probably soon (or already are) some modification kits to do this. Nice review anyway!
It was disappointing - I would have loved to at least get it to close properly, but I am very happy with its original form 😄👌 I have ordered another one, which I might consider trimming if I need it to fit for an upcoming mod 😉 Thanks for your support, Fratellini! 🙏
Damn 😱 I watched thia video 4 moths before and I forgot that you tried to swap this two watches and I commented you to swap them 😅 Now after seeing this same thumbnail multiple times finally I read is that your are saying that it will not fir 😅 My bad bro thanks for this video😊
The Dual Time does not work even in 24h mode, unfortunately. Though I will say, I have heard from others that Casio has since resolved this issue, and the newer models have working Dual Time mode 😁👌
Ah, you must be talking about my “watch toolbox” 😁 Very simple, it was a just a “craft storage box” I picked up at Kmart: www.kmart.com.au/product/craft-storage-caddy-clear-42895589/ If there’s none available nearby, you could use another type of ‘Fishing Tackle Box’ for the same purpose 👌
Haha, yeah it can be difficult to move! 😁 It often gets stuck on the strap because of those little notches under it. Other than this, what are your thoughts on the watch? 🤔
@@goatreviews I actually kinda like it but I think I'd have to change the band to something more comfortable or replace the keeper. It's a bit chunky on my wrist but I pretend it's a miniaturaized Pip Boy.
@@RokkitGrrl Fair call 👌 It might be worth considering the NATO Strap mod shown to get rid of the keeper issue. Hahaha, that's an awesome way of looking at it! 😁
That is what I believe to be the case. 👌 I couldn’t get either faceplate to go down all the way - which to me suggests each may have a small piece that can be sanded to make it fit! I will of course need to test and verify this further. (I have just had a second WS-1700H arrive that I might use for this purpose 😉)
Hahaha - Point taken 😂 I guess I’m not feeling the connection of the name to this particular design 🤷🏻♂️ Certainly snappier to say out loud than “WS-1700H” though 😁👌
Hi Gokul, what did you think of the wrist-check on my 6.5 inch wrist at about 8:43 ? If you're happy with that size, it won't be too much larger than that on your 6 inch wrist. 😁
DUAL time is an ISSUE. You pay hard earned money. They should sell you a watch whose functions all work. Supposedly Casio has stopped production. I ordered one from eBay, but the one I ordered from Amazon is on back order. Very pleased to know that they are dealing with this issue, unlike Seiko with their issues. The nick name is actually “The Casio Moon Phase”.
I understand your perspective. 💯 It's an issue that shouldn't have made it out of the factory, and one which should be fixed retroactively for those who got one. I do wonder if they will offer to recall old units, or replace them? I do feel fortunate to consider myself unfazed by this issue, but I can imagine how important of a feature it is for others. Interesting - I was not aware of this! Thanks so much for weighing in, Art! 🙏
@@goatreviews I myself (had to have it.) which is why I ordered from eBay. Like yourself Dual Time wasn’t a deal breaker for me. I figured I can just assume if it’s an, or pm. Unless you live in Alaska I didn’t see much of a problem. Fixing retroactively would be GREAT, as well as a recall. Seiko has an issue with the snj025 (Arnie) that was produced in the 2023 assembly period. It will reset if it’s in direct sunlight for 30-45 minutes. They still have not issued a solution of any sort. Great video. I was pretty impressed how you came up with solutions for the adapter, and pushers. I’ve been in those SAME shoes more than once.
As for the dual time if you can't do the math or look outside that it's not a.m. or p.m. well then something's wrong. I really couldn't care less whether or not it shows an A or a p as well
LOL - This is a good point! 😂 I agree that it's not a huge deal 👌 I will say though - If the secondary time zone you're tracking with Dual Time is not one you're familiar with such as another country, it will be an extra step of memory to know whether they should be in AM or PM 😅
@@brandonar868 touché. But if you're going to be spending months on end in a place like that why not just change your time rather than dual time. It's such a petty little thing to hate about this watch with how many other options are fantastic on this thing
@tjmars37 you're not thinking of this from a travelers perspective. The purpose of dual time is more so used to track a 2nd timezone away from you, Not the one are currently in. So for example you may need to know the time back home away from family. Simple Math can go easily wrong with Jet Lag.
It’s in very unusual to see from Casio. 👍 I’m still waiting to see how they address this issue 🤔 Glad you like the orange strap! I just changed back to that one 😁🍊👌
@@goatreviews mmh that sounds maybe too unsafe for water proofness. I think that the only culprits are a couple of plastic pins that make the other module incompatible mechanically, both modules looks identically thick. I can’t say for sure which ones, not owning any of those, but you should focus on the spots that seem to block the module from going deeper
Cheers @@gabbodj95 👌 Since the faceplates are internal, I don’t suspect they may impact waterproofing but you’re right, I wouldn’t want to compromise that. Great idea! 💡 The mismatch may be with the size of the module itself… perhaps I can trim this down as well, as you said by focusing on the parts that may be blocking. Thanks for the tips! 🙏
Yeah, I tend to agree. 👌 In most of my reviews I find at least a couple of minor inconveniences that I’d like to see addressed by Casio, such as the way buttons scroll, etc. But this one was an actual BUG! 🤯
Thankfully I’m in the same boat, QuestingKnightIV. This ‘bug’ isn’t a big deal to me, so I’m happy with the watch. But I can see it being a dealbreaker for some!

I used hot glue instead of foam tape 👍😁
I think the adapters were made for the fat spring bars.

2:00 The databank calculator (DBC-32D) watches share this feature.

Nothing wrong with overabundance of features on a digital watch.
Yes it is incompatible with the original casio AE 1200 swap. But if you bought yourself a cheap clone of a AE 1200 like a KO china brand synoke the modular will fit in perfectly. I just tried it recently.
But you have to use an original casio AE 1200 backplate coz the synoke one has a bit of bulging backplate. The button is a bit loose but workable.
Can't afford at the moment with skxmods, but there is a cheaper alternative if you wish to try..happy modding folks! 😊

Will it look good at 6 inches wrist..?
Hi Gokul, what did you think of the wrist-check on my 6.5 inch wrist at about 8:43 ? If you're happy with that size, it won't be too much larger than that on your 6 inch wrist. 😁
DUAL time is an ISSUE. You pay hard earned money. They should sell you a watch whose functions all work. Supposedly Casio has stopped production. I ordered one from eBay, but the one I ordered from Amazon is on back order. Very pleased to know that they are dealing with this issue, unlike Seiko with their issues. The nick name is actually “The Casio Moon Phase”.
I understand your perspective. 💯 It's an issue that shouldn't have made it out of the factory, and one which should be fixed retroactively for those who got one. I do wonder if they will offer to recall old units, or replace them? I do feel fortunate to consider myself unfazed by this issue, but I can imagine how important of a feature it is for others.
Interesting - I was not aware of this!
Thanks so much for weighing in, Art! 🙏
@@goatreviews I myself (had to have it.) which is why I ordered from eBay. Like yourself Dual Time wasn’t a deal breaker for me. I figured I can just assume if it’s an, or pm. Unless you live in Alaska I didn’t see much of a problem. Fixing retroactively would be GREAT, as well as a recall. Seiko has an issue with the snj025 (Arnie) that was produced in the 2023 assembly period. It will reset if it’s in direct sunlight for 30-45 minutes. They still have not issued a solution of any sort. Great video. I was pretty impressed how you came up with solutions for the adapter, and pushers. I’ve been in those SAME shoes more than once.
Thanks so much, @@artkingofwholefoods74 🍻
Glad you could appreciate those solutions - I'm quite proud of them too! 😁👌
Sir where to buy these lug adapters???
Great question, Azam! 👌 I’ve left a link to the lug adapters in the Video Description for you (16mm to 22mm) 😉
Hope this helps! 🙏
As for the dual time if you can't do the math or look outside that it's not a.m. or p.m. well then something's wrong. I really couldn't care less whether or not it shows an A or a p as well
LOL - This is a good point! 😂 I agree that it's not a huge deal 👌
I will say though - If the secondary time zone you're tracking with Dual Time is not one you're familiar with such as another country, it will be an extra step of memory to know whether they should be in AM or PM 😅
@@goatreviews true. But you could also just look outside haha
You do realize there places on this Planet where the Sun does Not rise for months or does not set for months....
@@brandonar868 touché. But if you're going to be spending months on end in a place like that why not just change your time rather than dual time. It's such a petty little thing to hate about this watch with how many other options are fantastic on this thing
@tjmars37 you're not thinking of this from a travelers perspective. The purpose of dual time is more so used to track a 2nd timezone away from you, Not the one are currently in. So for example you may need to know the time back home away from family. Simple Math can go easily wrong with Jet Lag.
WS terbaik menurut ku❤
Thanks Jamal! 🙏❤
@@goatreviews same bro...👍👍👍
The flaw is uninportant but also odd for such a big firm.
Orange strap is better
It’s in very unusual to see from Casio. 👍
I’m still waiting to see how they address this issue 🤔
Glad you like the orange strap! I just changed back to that one 😁🍊👌
Yes or No ?
What's the question, Hrs?
Will it fit, without modification? No.
Do I recommend the WS-1700H? Yes! 😁
Why your casio royale have a green world map its fake or what
Haha, it’s genuine Casio! 😁 It’s a different colourway that I prefer. I covered it in my unboxing video here:

Just sand down some plastic clips
Great idea! 💡 Another solution to the lug problem. 🙏
I suspect I could also sand down the faceplates to get the module-swaps to fit 🤔
@@goatreviews mmh that sounds maybe too unsafe for water proofness. I think that the only culprits are a couple of plastic pins that make the other module incompatible mechanically, both modules looks identically thick. I can’t say for sure which ones, not owning any of those, but you should focus on the spots that seem to block the module from going deeper
Cheers @@gabbodj95 👌
Since the faceplates are internal, I don’t suspect they may impact waterproofing but you’re right, I wouldn’t want to compromise that.
Great idea! 💡 The mismatch may be with the size of the module itself… perhaps I can trim this down as well, as you said by focusing on the parts that may be blocking. Thanks for the tips! 🙏
If you're paying attention a lot of Casio movements have got weird annoying quirks, but this is a pretty bad one.
Yeah, I tend to agree. 👌 In most of my reviews I find at least a couple of minor inconveniences that I’d like to see addressed by Casio, such as the way buttons scroll, etc. But this one was an actual BUG! 🤯
I dont use the dual time feature so, i dont care for it. The tide and moonphase are awesome
Thankfully I’m in the same boat, QuestingKnightIV. This ‘bug’ isn’t a big deal to me, so I’m happy with the watch. But I can see it being a dealbreaker for some!
Open the back and fill it with mineral oil. You're welcome.
Cool idea for a Hydro Mod! 👌 Thanks for the suggestion. 🙏 It's about time I did another one!
