Watch Mods on Strings And Tines

Casio AE-1300 mod

I got this watch as a gift from my grandkids for Christmas 2024. The only mod I did was to erase all the lettering on the case and faceplate except for the word Casio, just like I did for my Casio Royale mod. Fun fact, the two watches have modules that are the same size and cases that are the same shape, so you can swap them around for an additional mod.

I found this website The Printable Watch that offers files you can download and print your own watch case. I thought this was the coolest idea, and bought a whole kit.

I don’t have a 3D printer, so I hired Connor The Maker to print it for me. I had met him at the Rochester Maker Faire, where he was displaying projects he had made. He was a student at the Rochester Institute of Technology and had started this 3D printing side business, so I was happy to help out a young engineering student.

Continuing with my obsession with modifying cheap Casio digital watches, I found this one at Walmart.

What a steal!

Casio loves printing words on their watches

After getting it home I realized that most of the lettering on the case was embossed, so I would not be able to erase it with my trusty white eraser. I did get the words on the top and bottom to come off, but they left behind a shadow of the lettering.

Slightly less words on the case

I got interested in the Casio digital watch modifying scene after seeing a YouTube video by Adam Savage where he showed one of these Casio Royale (model AE-1200) watches that was modded to have a NASA theme. I had not worn a watch in over a decade, but immediately became fascinated with this hobby. You mean I can open up this watch and change what it looks like? Sign me up! Here’s what the watch looks like out of the box:
