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 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 🤔 ..

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.
