  • In this Casio Oceanus OCW-S100-1AJF review video, I analyze the watch that you told me I should have bought instead of the OCW-T150 I looked at previously! This Casio Oceanus S100 review goes over the main functions of the watch (to save you reading the manual) and highlights the pros and cons of this premium Japanese timepiece. The hand alignment feature is a must-see!

    I recently bought the T200, which - based on what I've seen - refines this whole thing even further. Same fantastic level of finish, but now with an even simpler dial and truly prismatic light play on the "floating" indices. Added Bluetooth for easy syncing and adjustment, too. I think the case is slightly bigger at ~41mm, and I'm not sure the bracelet will allow fitting on very small wrists (it's comfortable on my 6.75" wrist with maybe one link remaining), but it's also fully detachable. Some people may seen it as a downgrade, but the material here is steel instead of Ti. I personally am fine with this, as it allows even finer finishing and the bracelet might hold together better over time.
    Overall I'm more of a field watch person, but this thing is so gorgeously functional - that auto calibration, my gawd! - and such a joy to look at, that I've been wearing it every chance I get. A steal at around $350US.

    As an owner of the slightly more complex, and much more busy OCW-T4000A-1AJF, I probably wouldn't buy these simpler ones myself at this point, but I believe Casio is going in the exact right direction with them. A clean, slightly futuristic design, packed with endless crazy features behind the scenes, is precisely what the quartz watch industry needs to focus on. That way, you gain all the benefits and lose practically nothing. I especially love the solar technology, but having near-perfectly synced timed all day every day is a fantastic thing for anyone who keeps running to their meetings on the last second.

    tough movement makes the mechanism resistant to excessive vibrations. one time I dropped my frogman analog in the wash machine together with a luminox and after 2 wash cycles the luminox had gained 3 hours and several minutes and the frogman was dead on.
    Second the watch does hourly checks on the position of the hands . if the hands are off alignment (it uses a tiny laser inside the watch to determine gearing position) then the watch will reset the hands automatically to 12 on the dot and and then set the time again. this happens automatically at the 50th minute of every hour . if the gears pass the alignment check then the watch does not adjust and continues on normally.
    You can also initiate the hand adjustment on demand by usually if you, for some reason, got aught on some extreme G's and the watch hands are off just give it an hour or two and the watch will adjust itself

Not sure I would pay $500 for this more traditional looking watch, as I like, and frequently use, the extra timing features on its cheaper brother. Perhaps I will upgrade to the all steel Lineage if my current watch fails, although its nice to have such a super-light weight watch (46g) on wrist which you forget you're wearing.

    It's their premium line, 500 is reasonable (but you can find it for 370 in Japan). If you are on budget Lineage would do it for 200.
    I think Oceanus has better finish and better designs, also better colors in comparison to Lineage. I would go for Ocenaus, it's also not a watch that you see everyday.
    S100 has a perfect design for me. I also like Seiko Sportura designs, they are in the same price range.
    Therefore, the price is fair for me. I would buy the S100.

    The tough movement actually has to do with auto correction of the analog hands. Before this technology, electronically controlled analog Casios required manual calibration of their hands if they were subject to shock or have their batteries replaced. Tough movement solves that issue. It's a multi-gear solar powered movement having separate stepper motors for all hands on the dial which has an IC circuit checking the position of the hands via light passage from an opening in the dial. When the IC circuit detects any change in the position of the hands, it automatically corrects them. Additionally, these movements have a layer of alpha gel surrounding them which gives them more resistance to shock.

    The explanation of the features was really cool and helpful since I don't know much abouy watches. I was however left wondering how the date indicator works, so I looked it up. For others like me, the watch actually keeps track of the year and month even though there's no dial for those, so it knows when to skip dates. It uses the second and minute hands to show those while adjusting the setting. I assume other premium watches with date indicators do this as well, while cheaper mechanisms require one to adjust the date indicator every month there aren't 31 days.

    I have the Oceanus T200S, it's my EDC watch. On the back it lists both "Tough Solar" and "Tough MVT", I suspect it's marketing speak more than anything.
    I prefer this model, you can put regular straps on it, I wear it on a Perlon strap. After about a year I still can't find any obvious scratches.
    Downsides: It's steel, so it's heavier. The bracelet. Some time zones can only be selected from the app (Newfoundland, India, Adelaide, Nepal, ...)
    Positives: there's very little visible evidence that it's more than a regular 3 hander with a date. You're not stuck with Casio's bracelet, you can dress it up or down as the situation requires.

      Not true. I live in the UK and I bought a Casio Pro Trek from Japan last year and the hands were slightly misaligned, enough to bother me. So I called Casio UK and they told me that as long as you purchased it new from a recognised dealer (like Sakura Watches, etc) then you automatically have a 1-year international warranty that comes with the watch. I sent mine to Casio UK with a copy of the receipt (you need to provide proof of where and when you bought it) and they fixed the issue for zero cost to me. The only thing is that if they have to get parts from Japan then it could take a little longer than usual to get the repair done. They warn you of that on the repair booking page on their site. I'd guess if it's an international warranty then it should be the same in every country so you wouldn't have any issue getting it fixed.

    The solar power and not having to replace the battery for like 20 years I think? Plus the fact it can realign itself. the $100 casio edifice is pretty damn good with sapphire and 100m, I wonder if its the same quality sapphire though, but that edifice might not even last 2 years.

      IRL you hardly see the "bump". Perfect fit for my small wrist, watch comes with 2 "half links" (more like 2/3 of a regular link) and hits all the markers every time. Ben showed how to manually adjust, yeah that looks kind of complicated but actually when you get this watch you just have to pull out the crown and only set the second to your local timezone, the watch does the rest... for decades :) This is really a set and forget watch. I love mine, very comfortable, great fit and extremely light on the wrist. Great quality titanium too, would recommend!

    Hey Ben, new subscriber here, just a comment on your wrist, quick question is your sweet spot 39mm and lower , and how low would you go, I have a 7 inch wrist and I too prefer smaller diameter, I have a hamilton action khaki, 34mm which was too small ,until I added a leather bund strap to beef it up a little, how small a watch can people with small wrists possibly go, I feel it whichever makes you happy, what your thoughts, thanks

  • @slowbluesmaster

    IMHO, you've reviewed the 'wrong' model. I'm the proud owner of the T200S, which comes on a strap (2 are provided) and is stainless steel only. I hate bracelets for the reasons you've mentioned: a strap not only looks good, but always fits without breaking out your bracelet resizing tools. And integrated straps are the worst. The T200S also has Bluetooth connectivity, which means you can manage many routine functions (syncing included) more easily. And the app also provides charge level info. And it charges using all available light: solar and artificial (the former is much more powerful, though, than the latter). Available for €317 at the time of writing from a popular JDM seller in Japan. Finally : Casio is known for (sometimes) providing measurements that include the crown. I've measured my T200S with a digital caliper: case diameter (from the 2o'clock to 8 o'clock diameter): 41,50mm., L2L: 48,50mm. And T200S does not have the time zone city names printed on the inner bezel: much cleaner, IMHO.

    The Oceanus is one of my grail watches. But I can't decide on which one. S100 or T200. I love the polished bezel of the S100 but I prefer the cleaner dial on the T200. It'll be quite a while before I can afford one so I have plenty of time to think about.

    • @pktsqr
      @pktsqr Год назад +1

      I find that the bezel on my T200 is well polished on its angled upper 2/3rds, and the flat top surface is brushed in such a way that it looks matte one moment and then flashes intense light as though polished. The effect is similar to reflective safety gear. I've never seen anything like it, I don't think. Anyway, good luck on your collecting journey!

    Throughout the video you say things like "they ditch X on S100" and similar, as if S100 was the newer iteration. The fact you got S100 after T150 does not mean S100 was released later. In fact, it is older by several years than T150. Which is why T150 has some improvements, like the micro-adjusting clasp.
