I like your videos, you are doing great content. This watches reminds me Seiko Astron SSJ005. What you think about this watch? Is their quality commensurate with their price?
Good review. Short of Grand Seiko, the Oceanus line is as good as gets from Japan. Overall, they offer fantastic value. I think you would like the Oceanus S100 over the T150 (I have both). It is a more elegant looking piece. The T200 series is a no go for me due to stainless steel.
Followed on WC.
I just polished my 10-year old Seiko Titanium (SNAB89P1), and it's completely different now. I'm not sure if I've ruined it. It was a dull matte finish before, now a satin, almost gloss shine. I don't hate it though. Shine just needs to calm down a bit, and it will. It had to be coated in some way?
I have a Casio Oceanus T200 and I gotta say, that is one of my favourite watches. The finish is top notch, totally punches way above it's price point.
Casio's second hand alignment has always been spot on in my experience. I have owned a few Edifices in the past and currently have an Edifice which cost me around $200 and it's second hand alignment is spot on. Puts my super titanium Citizen diver to shame which retails for over twice the price of the Edifice.
It's funny. The quality control on my Citizens has always been exemplary. I'm in the US. I know Citizens are popular all over the world. I wonder if models targeted for different markets are assembled at different locations and there is variability in quality standard. That would be a shame, but we live in an imperfect reality, so 🤷🏼♂️
@@jaex9617 That's good for you. In my experience, only one out of three Citizens I've owned had perfect second hand alignment. The Titanium Promaster Diver I have has been reviewed by Teddy Baldassarre and he also mentions the second hand alignment issue in his review of the watch. Might be a case of bad luck for me.
@@jojogpt Maybe? I wouldn't be at all surprised if different manufacturing facilities serving different geos have variability in QC execution or even standards. It's plausible, though I'd hope any company would realize that it's not a good long-term strategy. I do wonder why my experience has been exemplary and others have not had the same.
I have a Citizen Promaster titanium GMT diver and cannot fault it in any way at all. Similarly the NY0080, the Seiko SKX killer. I could say the same for most of my Casios but not for Seiko.
@@markgrieves1307 I own four Seikos and they are perfectly aligned. I don't own a Seiko diver. Two Premiers, one Seiko 5 and one perpetual chronograph quartz. But I do know of a few people complaining about Seiko's misaligned second hands and sometimes rotating bezels.
What this tells me is that even major brands are prone to QC mistakes.
Ah, the Oceanus - the model line that would be my everyday watch, had it not been so ridiculously difficult and expensive to import into Europe.
You can get the Oceanus line from Japan Online Store, you will have to pay import VAT but that's the case for anything outside the UK
@@Andrew.W75 I know there are a couple of reputable sellers, but I refuse to pay an extra 40%-50% and still not get full warranty coverage etc. Imagine going through all that hassle and getting a defective watch...
You could find them eBay
I would like one as well if not for the 'anus' in the name.
@@jiv32 Yes that's a real bummer!
Oh man I was wondering if you'd ever cover one of these, being a hardcore Casio lover. Thanks for the awesome review!
I have the Oceanus S100 It's my most expensive watch and for me it's the perfect watch, once set I wont have to touch it for years, one small niggle is the integrated bracelet but as it's titanium and I paid a premium I wouldn't want to change it anyway
I love my OCW-T200s. Minimalist beauty. Good lume, but the Indices Sallaz polsih is so good you almost don't need it. Replaceable band with a standard 20mm width. More durable stainless steel. Only problem for Ben is the lug to lug is a bit too big for him.
i second this. the T200 is actually the most expensive watch i own and boy oh boy is it pretty
Finally someone doing a decent review on an Oceanus. It's one of my favorite watches in my collection.
Not this particular model, but Just One More Watch also has an Oceanus review.
how is a video that shows absolutely no functions of the watch even called a review?
@@gabrielcornea9119A review is not a tutorial. I get so annoyed when looking for reviews and getting tutorials that are called reviews.
Ben, your channel has become one of my favorites. Thanks for sharing your watch passion with us all.
I bought a Casio Lineage, 2 in fact, on your recommendation and they are great. They both have roman numerals and look like field watches. The titanium one is light as a feather and the hollow links don't bother me a bit. Thanks very much, I have confidence in your reviews.
Casio makes everything that's what I love about them. I'm in Aruba now and currently wearing the Casio TRT-110H $25 Mud Resistant sport watch. It's been used for snorkeling all week now and hasn't given me a single issue. Their cheap watches are fairly durable and work perfectly. No other brand can offer that.
Yay! Glad you for your hands on an Oceanus! I love my S100 and T200. They are staples in my collection and such an amazing value. Given your gripes with this model, I think the S100 is your perfect Oceanus.
You should have gone for the Oceanus OCW-T200S. Steel, but astonishing finishing and quality for the money.
as I understand it, t200 is a direct upgrade to the t100 but seems to sell for less
That was my comment as well. Ni idea why he got that particular model Oceanus...silly.
It’s also noticeably bigger, which is probably its biggest downside (for Ben, at least)
Yeah, I am also looking forward to a review of OCW T200
@@Zephyrdaze1819 not silly when you have a wrist my size, surely?
Too bad you didn't mention anything about its internals and movement, which has many interesting details. Anyway, with Oceanus line, Casio once more proved they are, by far, the best watchmakers in the world.
True that. Casio builds a watch around time-keeping. Others add time-keeping functionality to a piece of jewellery.
@@RP-kr2mg Well said. Ameen to that!
Tough solar movement
If they ever make mechanical watch (unlikely, I think), I would agree. Now, they are in my top 3.
@@jakublulek3261 Of course they don't produce overpriced obsolete mechanical trash, but they've put all of their resources in development of better quartz drives. And that's why Casio is currently No. 1 in the world. Closely followed by Citizen and their Eco-drive.
All other brands are just useless trash.
It's baffling how Japanese companies continue releasing large watches, given Japanese people tend to have very skinny wrists. You would expect their watches to be smaller, consequentially.
Plus, at least I think that Casio should create a new brand for their more expensive line that has a different look. Just like Toyota and Lexus, and Seiko and Credor.
"Different look" ?
I think Casio is doing an excellent job differentiating their product lines by using distinct design languages (even if the aesthetics are a hit-or-miss for me).
Think about it: You could probably guess whether a watch was a G-Shock, or a Lineage, or an Edifice, or an Oceanus even with the logo hidden, and you'd be correct 90% of the time.
@@jasondoe2596 While the products themselves indeed clearly differentiate themselves with the cheaper models, however, most people will not find the value proposition in a $500 Casio.
And my main criticism is the sizing of Japanese watches today. The only way to buy a thin digital watch today is purchasing used 80s models, precisely from Casio, Seiko and Citizen. And given that current premium Casio watches are mostly sold in the Japanese market, and they are all big, then those watches look ridiculous in the small wrists of its target audience.
@@avensCL You absolutely do have a point - and I'd love some smaller watches, as well.
Spot on comment. I've always thought the same. I'd love to have an Oceanus but it's too big and integrated bracelets make it worse. I often see eBay Oceanus's for sale with "it was too big for me" mentioned. I reckon if Casio released some LCW170 sized Oceanus they'd be super popular.
Ben, I discovered your channel earlier this year and it rapidly became one of my favourites. I rewatch your videos constantly because they are so entertaining and high production quality. I enjoy how you accurately hold Casio in such high esteem and would urge you to discuss some higher end G Shocks like the MTG line. I have an MTG and Mudmaster collection myself, and am amazed at their Tough Solar and Multi Band 6 technology as well as sapphire crystal and build quality. People need to know about these amazing features so they don’t pay for bare bones quartz garbage!
I love the Oceanus so much that that I wound up with a Citizen Chronomaster instead. Not being snarky. I realized that once one is willing to pay a premium price for a Japanese watch that doesn't say Seiko on it, the Oceanus feels (to me) distinctly mid-range compared to the better Citizen offerings.
But the Chronomaster is much more expensive than this particular Oceanus IIRC.
@@pathchampion Yeah, it is. Like I said, I love the Oceanus line. I had a similar reaction to Ben, in wanting to see Oceanus move a bit upmarket in terms of finish and styling, and I would pay more. I'm in the US and we are stuck with the Edifice line which has some dressier styles but still slots below Oceanus in the Casio portfolio.
I’'d like to see Casio differentiate and rationalize their product line. It would be great to see some true prestige models from them and Oceanus is the natural place for them to be. Now, I realize I can buy a $5,000 G-Shock but that's another thing entirely. 😅
citizen 1 casio 0 🤣
Try Grand Seiko.
I'd love that Casio make a Casioak like the edifice with the octagonal bezel you reviewed (and I bought afterward) but in the Oceaus range
I'd love if there was a 36mm Oceanus 😅
@@simonhudak3763 This. I own their old 37mm diver from early 2000s and was so surprised to find out that the current lineup of Oceanus is so small and has no models under 40mm.
I have actually seen this sizing discrepancy with Casio before. Certain watches have the lug to lug measurement as the case size. I figured this out when I saw the same watch listed elsewhere with different dimensions...I ordered it and figured out what was happening...then I too started to reconsider other casio's that had large case size listings.
The MRG range is super! Perhaps the G-Shock MRG-B2000B-1A1DR! It's on another level! But you have to spend 5 times more. It's €2500,- .
I actually love the roman numeral, and I think the additional text just creates some balance
The Oceanus line is made by Casio so that the hand alignment is ALWAYS perfect. If it isn't, it can be adjusted and realigned. I have the OCW-T200 and I really think it is a great watch. It is always exactly on time, the hands always hit the markers exactly and the calendar is perpetual so it never needs to be adjusted in 30 day months or February. You don't find that on a Submariner, do you? (or any Rolex for that matter)
Don't Rolexes even have perpetual calendars? They should do for what you pay for them.
@@Treviscoe try IWC, Audemar Piguet, Patek Phillipe, A. Lange & Sohne, Vacheron Constantin or Jaeger-LeCoultre
@@jperryhal Oh sure, but most of those cost a lot more again than a Rolex of similar specification (you can't get any Patek for less than £18,000 the last time I looked). I think the IWC is the only one which is priced more or less comparably.
A Rolex is a significant purchase for most people, so to me it's entirely fair to compare what it offers for what you pay for it, with what you get with the Oceanus which is significantly cheaper.
@@Treviscoe agreed, Rolex is short in the area of perpetual calendars. Their value proposition is investment grade only, not as a full featured watch you actually want to wear and has actual features that you can use. More precious metal or diamond encrusted Rolexes anyone? 😏
Thanks for the great video mate. I love your style. Unfortunately once I saw the last four letters in Oceanus I couldn't unsee it. Looks like a great watch though.
Reading the comment section, I just realizrd that I'm somewhat privileged to live in Japan regarding wristwatch department...
I've seen Oceanus ads, and higher end is way too expensive for me...
I started following this channel to look for replacement of my 24 year old Citizen Eco-Drive Chronograph, and I might look into Casio more after watching this video.
Thank you for the great content! :)
I stumbled across your channel Ben and I’ve been binging it and love listening to your videos. Soothing voice and great info about watches.
I’m really considering Casio . Half tempted to get a edifice ECB-900 but I have small wrists sadly.
Been looking for someone I trust to look this one over. Thanks for that! And what a refreshing change of pace to actually see the Amazon pages as you discuss them!
Ben--Thanks so much for review. Been considering this model a while--was on fence because my wrists are as thin as yours.
Would love to see more Oceanus options
I have a OCW-S100-1AJF, titanium whit the plain markers that i like much more then the one you review.
I have 7 1/2 wrist and it is really comfortable, 2 years no scratch appart from the clasp, very impressive mouvement the minute hand move 360 times in one hour, one time every 10 sec and at midnight 0:00:00 the date flip whit no hesitation
LOL -- I have a solar Casio Protrek ABC-T watch that I adore. Looks like the gorgeous love child between a U-Boat and a Seiko Arnie. Perfect field watch with an actual compass (not low-tech point the bezel to the sun nonsense...), a barometer, altimeter, and thermometer. World time, alarms, perpetual calendar, stopwatch -- everything. And it's solar. Loads of lume and a LED for night. 100m water resistance. And it's the most accurate quartz I have. It is everything a modern traditional watch should be -- with MODERN, useful, electronic complications, no need for servicing, no batteries or USB charging. Damn near perfect watch. And gorgious. And priced properly at $170 US. If we were being logical we'd acknowledge that solar + quartz + integrated circuits is how watches should be made in 2022. Not with gear trains like 1896. That Hyack guy was a marketeering genius.
I would suggest you do some more research on Oceanus watches. They are hand Sallaz (Zaratsu) polished and assembled on the Premium Production Line. Rumor has it that they are polished on the same line as Grand Seiko. You also purchased one of the "older", less expensive models with no Bluetooth. I guarantee that if you had purchased the OCW S5000 Manta, your comments would be different. I own one as well as the OCW T-200. They are amazing watches and a great value! UPDATE: I just got the P-2000 ISO rated diver's watch. It is probably my favorite of the three. But they are ALL excellent.

Review a Mathey Tissot automatic. They're suspiciously affordable on Jomashop
Proud Casio Oceanus T200SLE-2AJR owner here (JDM, imported from Japan to Western Europe, delivery within a week). Gorgeous mid-blue dial, stainless steel on quick-release leather (both deliberate choices), atomic, Bluetooth, solar, superb Zaratsu polishing, and astonishing all-around finishing. All for less than € 600! Just do it!
Where'd you buy it?
@@gregory1662 FYI: Sakura Watches has the OCW-T200S-1AJF currently discounted to € 352
@@slowbluesmaster thanks
Was able to obtain the JDM model Oceanus OCW-S100 at a reasonable price years ago….all titanium, solar, atomic, 40mm blue dial. The newer OCW-S5000 is intriguing.
Same, one of my favorite quartz pieces in my collection.
Be nice for you to go into some more detail on the tech in the watch, setting the time zones etc. It's all so cool.
I've got the OCW-T2600, which addresses a lot of the complaints in the review--I love it. 41mm OD, 49mm lug-to-lug. Standard lugs (21mm) so the bracelet can be swapped, more lume, more functions, full titanium with the sliding clasp. All of the complaints in the review are fair and well explained for the model shown, but it's probably the worst Oceanus model.
Also Oceanus lume never gets bright, but it lasts very long.
yo Ben it's my bday and I just got the efv100d. Its so cool bro
The Roman numeral sunk that watch. Killed it before it had a chance. Picture it without - it becomes a really intriguing future-watch.
Fab review and I’m glad to watch a top quality review of a top quality Casio.
I’d also love it if Ben could review the OCW-T200S. It’s been on my watch list for a while and I’m saving up for it. I’m also slightly unsure on the sizing of it as I have skinny wrists too!
Got the same watch with light blue dial (OCW-T150-2AJF). Superb watch, ultralight and comfortable. It`s a Casio step up!
Hi, regarding high quality Casios, have you looked at Casios MR-G range?
BTW, nice video.
I still believe that one of the most underrated watches is the Citizen Eco-Drive Royal Oak style stainless steel with these little blue dial or the black dial that is one of the most underrated underpriced watches that exist
Managed to get an Oceanus from Japan two years ago,amazing quality of finish and polishing on case and dial.
Finally. If you have a moment, check Evolvens watches, too please.
Casio has many Luxury or Premium Casios. Just look at the G-Shocks there you got the „Iron Man“ for 1500. the GMW 5000 is generally made in Japan and extremely well made for 500 bucks. Casio knows how to make that stuff
Yeah I don't get why the MRG range is not mentioned.
great video, wrong watch!
as a few already mentioned you „should have gone“ with the t200. the case is more elegant and the finish more classy. the deep blue dial is beautiful to look at and catches the sunlight perfectly. you can change the bracelet, I put on a blue leather strap and got a beautiful everyday dress watch…
I need a timer as much as I use the time of day. I carry the lineage Titanium LCW-M100TSE. If anyone wants a lineage without the LCD window, but has permanent small auxiliary dials instead, check out the CASIO Lineage LIW-M700D-1AJF (there is no titanium version however).
ruclips.net/video/BV3395BaC7U/видео.html
^For instance, notice the long unintuitive method to set the initial time and date (because there is no LCD screen). This either adds to the charm or detracts, being difficult to learn.
I just got the Junghans Mega Solar. Incredibly neat watch
I like that casio lineage dial, its like a glass dial or something, and it looks like you can see the reflection of the casio name, reflecting off the back of that glass... really adds that “boy this is a nice watch” later on in ownership...
I have a seiko, with black hands, black dial, tips are painted and lumed,.. i had the watch for about 3 weeks before i noticed the outer edge of the hands are actually polished shiney... like, so shiney you can make out the relection of the other numbers... i noticed it on a weird angle in the dark to the lume on the seconds, and thought they had somehow got lume on the side of the seconds hand... was the reflection of the hours lume...
Glad to see you going for the Oceanus!!
I think there’s one citizen you’ll be very satisfied with. I suggest you take a look at AT6080-53L citizen. It’s a perfect daily with crazy specs. Sapphire, perpetual, titanium, quick adjust, 39mm case and more. They hide this option on Amazon but copy paste just the ref number will show up on Amazon. There’s also gorgeous all black AT6085-50E and older version 1 that have black and green dial ref PMD56-2951 . Version mainly have diff dial and case color but specs same. Another version of it is CB0171-89E which was a colaboración between Japanese mont-belle that looks gorgeous. They have few left over at sakura watches website.
Yes, you are spot on! I own a PMD56-2952, with the black dial and yellow seconds hand - a SUPERB watch!! Also, 200m water resist, AND Day Date function. I'm just waiting to see what it does on 29th February! The only slight down side on it, it's Japanese Domestic Market.
Discovery Japan want my details before I can see any goods in their store.
Think I’ll be shopping somewhere else.
I'm looking for watch for my wife. Are you planning to record material about Casio Sheen or something like that?
Interesting content. Regards.
I acquired a used Edifice (EQW-T630YD-1A ) with Multiband 6, Tough Solar, and Sapphire crystal. The SS case was matched with a solid SS bracelet. Other than Japan-only watchs, likw Oceanus, Edifice seems to be the top Casio -brand carried by retailers in the U.S. Not sure about EU.
Great video. The only Casios I own are Quad Sensor G Shocks. My brother swears by the Eidifice models. We both own some of the usual popular Swiss divers but Casios are always in the regular wear rotation when it comes to everyday comfort wear. Never tried an Oceanus but I think I will have to after watching this video.
I have the Oceanus T200 because I think it’s the most beautiful of the various Oceanus. It is also the most efficient machine that I own.
Dear Ben, are you biased against Casio G-Shock? It's simply the affordable digital watch holy grail. My wrist is 6,5 inch and wears great you should at least give it a try, they are very affordable
They could literally release this in Europe and run Bulova, Seiko and Citizen out of business in that price range even after taxes. The biggest regret I have is not picking one up when I went to Japan because I thought it was superfluous as a quartz watch.
Actually, I have a $100 Casio Edifice sports watch that has incredible quality and detailing. The only thing is is has a glass crystal, not sapphire. Oh yes, and its quartz, which is ok, but I'd prefer either quartz solar or automatic (and pay $200-250) But to be honest, it looks better than this watch!
You should review an mtg, they are so super cool quality high end Casio watches
My Casio holy grail would be the G-Shock MRGB2000R. It seems like no one talks about them
Glad I saw this video. Firstly for taking the titanium lineage off the want list and showing the oceanus range which thankfully I don't have much interest in.
The stock photos of this model don't do it justice. That said, I still prefer the Oceanus T200's design. I just hope they upgrade that model with that new clasp.
A very nice Timeteller.
I could life without the roman 12 too! Imo its not good for the overall design.
I think Roman numerals on a watch is a bit dated. No pun intended.
Not ‘abbreviated city names’, airport names in major cities (DXB = Dubai, etc.). Aiming for global travellers as customers…
I have the identical watch that came with the second hand and the date wheel misaligned. I was able to fix the date wheel but not the second hand using the procedure in the instruction manual. Any fix for a misaligned second hand that doesn't hit the markers? I understand that this is cosmetic and doesn't affect accuracy but I'm OCD.
Thanks
that lineage are more interesting to me compared to oceanus minus the bracelet.
Love the integrated end link. Never seen something like this
I have an Oceanus OC-104D 1A, picked it up from jomashop last year, i really like it, as with all my watches just doesn't get enough wrist time
Ben, you know you can pull off the protective plastic cover from your calipers. There's a lovely clear screen underneath.... I know as I have one.
Been loving the content you're putting out. I just bought a watch from a fairly new brand: Forzo. I purchased their Drive King model, with the green trims and cream dial. Would love to see your opinion on this watch!
Your sponsorship segues are Linus Tech Tips level. Very smooth, my man.
What model is this?
Watch makers focus so much on the watch body design but if they are producing watches with integrated straps they should look at a size adjustment design that allows fast adjustment without the faff we always see without even taking it off. It cant be that hard to fit a dial or lever in the strap or its catch that adjusts tightness. I cant be the only one that finds the strap loose at one time and another time in the day tight. Perhaps a system more like the ratchet trouser belts. The adjustment examples spoken of in the video are a shadow of the process they could be.
Dude, your B-roll is absolutely fantastic
Bought a lineage and a OCW s100 , which arrived on the same day. The value of the lineage got me asking why I bought the s100.... especially with £75 import duty. I still like my S100 but hardly wear it. The S100 i had to delve into many vids to find the secondary method ( Gshock method) of hand alignment.. which was faffage
It's definitely beautiful but I'm not sure about the oceanus name. Probably wouldn't pay all that for this either. Appreciate that it perfectly hits its markers which my Tissot prx fails to.
I don't blame you, the word anus in the model name isn't the best of names is it.
@@marcocastagnetti7086 absolutely, it could have done with a second thought really
@@marcocastagnetti7086 can’t unsee it now 😂
And people still like to consider the Swiss as masters of precision…
you should have a look at LCW-M170TD-1AER, it's a bit cleaner design than the m100 but all the same features, and at least my watch came with solid link bracelet. I got mine for 178£
Instead of the titanium LCW, check out the stainless steel version LCW-M100DSE instead. It's cheaper, the case finishing and brushing is excellent and it has a way more interesting dial and hand set. Same iridescent dial with extra raised radial grooving, bolder more interesting markers, skeletonised hour and minute hands, half white painted second hand and the oh so cool gun sight cross hairs on the dial. It's still a quartz watch so not heavy at all.
I’ve been doing my own homework on Oceanus since seeing this video.
The OCW-S100-1AJF particularly stands out as the best value in my opinion and could even be a contender as the only watch you ever need. .
Any chance of a review of this model before I take the plunge?
There’s not many reviews out there and the ones I’ve found are poor in comparison with yours.
I love my Casio Oceanus (OCW-S100-1AJF)!!!! Amazing watch!
Anyone know what the exact model of the citizen watch @6:02 is? Looks great.
I am astounded by the watch. Looking for a place to buy it besides JDM websites. Any suggestions?
Surprised you didn't mention the connection to Grand Seiko. Oceanus cases are made by the same factory (owned by Seiko) that makes GS, high end Seiko, Casio MR-G, and Minase cases. The Oceanus case is zaratsu polished, which is astonishing at the price. I have a T200 and could only see very minor difference in case finishing compared to my GS Snowflake under high magnification. To the naked eye, there is no difference.
I think the T200 would have been the better choice to show off the case finishing. The brushed bezel and sharp angles are very striking, and really makes the hairline transition between brushed & polished surfaces pop. The dial finishing is mediocre, but since the case is the star of the show, I think the T200 would have been a better example of the value, especially considering a zaratsu repolish for a GS is twice the cost of the entire Oceanus.
I have the S100 and now that I've seen there is a quick adjust clasp available I'm going to look at retrofitting it to my watch as it's definitely one of the few weaknesses of the older models.
I have the S100 at the moment - the quick adjust system on this T150 is definitely better. A tad rattly but better for sure
@@BensWatchClub Good to know. Never did get round to getting the quick adjust clasp, but you've reminded me. I guess the noise isn't a big issue unless you like to shake your wrist about the place?
Does t150 bracelet can fit into s100?
I don't know what it is but the roman numerals are really putting me off at the 12 oclock. Otherwise gorgeous watch!
I comes from their SiBEM line.....

Ben, why don't you ever reflect on the lume when doing a review? I and many others believe lume to be a very important part when buying a watch and the lume on Oceanus models is really nice. Would be great to see that in the review as well.
Can you review the MTP-S120?
Great video, thanks! Question: Is it possible to change a strap/band on Casio Lineage?
Hey Ben, you should review some watches from Festina, I heared they are quite good. Watchshop do good deals for them aswell, especially the F20463/4 model
Maybe Oceanus could be the high-end brand for Casio, like Grand Seiko is to Seiko. What do you think?
I own about 10 Casios and love the brand but for this pricetag i would go with a Tissot..
I own a Tissot Powermatic 80 Certified Chronometer and two Oceanus (T-200 and S5000 Manta) I MUCH prefer the Oceanus watches. Much better finishing and the quality can't be beaten.
The T200S in ice blue is the most beautiful analog casio of all time. Unfortunately, it really is quite big. I can still reasonably see myself wearing one, but it's really pushing my 6.75" wrist.
I wear one on a 6.5” wrist all the time. There are no issues w/ the size.
Maybe you just like watches wearing large on you, but I can tell you it's pretty big. Lug to lug is almost 50mm.
I would state that there are quite a few high end Casios and even high end “luxury” G-shocks. The Royal Navy Frogman is quite a sports watch.
Ben, that model at 11:02 looks gorgeous. I would love to see a review on that one. Reminded me in style of the Overseas by Vacheron Constantin.
That is the T-200. Fantastic watch for $450!
Natural next move is to try a Citizen CB1120 or CB1110. Similar price range and titanium+rc/solar, but smaller and more discreet.

Hello Sir, any recommendation for Ladie watch? Which Casio model would you suggest??
I know the Alba watches are cheaper but it would be nice to see a review on them! Cheers
