They are some of the best underrated watches around.

Well, I always wear my watches a little loose. So I sized it like that with the link in. Then when the humidity kicks up and my wrist swells a little, I just pop it out one. So far it's been pretty comfortable. I completely agree with you on the app. The new Casio app seems better than the old Casio one, but not as good as the Oceanus.

I got a Citizen Attesa and I would be totally cool with having this Casio alongside it

I was thinking of replacing my departed Oceanus with an S100 or another T200. How do you like the integrated bracelet?

@@BetamaxBabe It's a good bracelet for the price point and the titanium means it is very light on the wrist. It does lack microadjustments, but I don't mind it being a little loose given the light weight.

That is a really cool addition. More Chronos should do that.

I'm embarrassed to admit that I don't know how to actually use a chronograph.

@@IlDiavolo2515 it's just a stopwatch. Push top button to start it. Push again to stop it. After that there should be a hand to tell you how many min have elapsed and add where the second hand is to that. You usually push the bottom button afterwards to reset. Usually you use it to see how long it took someone to do something. But you can also use it to see how long it's been since you started something. Like in cooking.

Thanks Glad you enjoyed it.

Alex Did you get one from Gary?

Both of those look great. There is a square oceanus I've seen online as well. Don't remeber the model number, but I'm curious about that one.

@@RelativeTime FYI: it's the OCW-T5000-1AJF.

It's the Jack Mason Avigator. I'll have a review out in a couple weeks. jackmasonbrand.com/products/copy-of-avigator-meca-quartz-chronograph It's more of a light metallic blue.

You are correct. I guess it's got 4 more sides over the CW, which must mean it's better. 😎

Thanks. Do you think you might ever buy one of the metal squares?

@@RelativeTime For the time being I am good with resin…..after all it is a beater, and a metal case will show any scratches …… I am hoping for a square with a MIP display though….without the sensor!

@@PAN-km5qk that would be cool. I wound up selling my square after I modded my Casio Royale with a nicer case. Between it and my Garmin I just never seem to wear it.

@@RelativeTime the Casio Royale….a true classic …… if the square is CASIOs “submariner”, the Casio Royale is the “explorer” ….. the true Ian Fleming/James Bond watch of the lineup 😆😉 ….. now I have the strong desire to watch Octopussy….maybe this weekend 😅😂

Exactly. I hope to buy a three-hand Oceanus someday.

That was my concern at first, but once I got it I didn't mind the busy dial at all. I also thought the city names would really bug me, but the way they are engraved I rarely notice them unless I'm looking for them.

That's one I got off Amazon. amzn.to/3rpMb4j I have a few others I use in the videos, but I think that one looks the best on camera.

@@RelativeTime thanks so much! Yeah looking great 👍

As far as quartz chronos go it's one of the better ones, but that's not saying much. There is a little springy-ness to it, but that's about it. It's definitely no Meca-Quartz when it comes to that.

It's seems strange, which is why I went for the cheaper T200 first.

It's amazing what they can do.

Edifice line has some very nice finishing as well though...for what you pay its actually impressive

That's something I'll have to look into a little more. Someone pointed out today that all Casios with Bluetooth prioritize it over multiband. I'm guessing because it's more precise to your location, and it doesn't want to confuse it with two signals. Now some are saying that once you pair your watch to the phone it will no longer check the multiband signal. At least not until you unpair it with a combo of buttons on the watch. Whereas some are saying that it won't check until it hasn't been able to pair with your phone for over 24hrs. The Casio manual doesn't mention anything, so I'll have to do some experimenting to see.

@@RelativeTime That might explain it, because I paired mine with Bluetooth.

​@@RelativeTimeno,my T200 is paired to my phone and it checks the mb6 signal every night.

I still need to check out the Edifice line more. Heck i should look at Casio more in general.

@RelativeTime I have two Edifice models. One is about as plain Jane as you can get in White... the other is a very slim piece with a dark Grey striated dial with turquoise accents and second hand. They're phenomenal for the money.

I'll see what I can do. Might be a while though.

At some point, I'll try to review a MTG. I was actually worried the city names would bug the heck out of me, but most of the time I barely notice them. Unless I'm looking for them. I think it's the way they are engraved on the angled bezel, they often seem to disappear.

😎

Very similar. Its funny how we associate brands with paticular products and prices, and it's hard to accpet when they do something else. I think that's what also killed VWs attempt at the Phaeton.

@@RelativeTime BTW.. Thanks for the Great content.

Agreed,the t200 is the one I bought,clean,simple 3 hander Classic and understated.

Well I know the Astron has some sophisticated GPS modulas, and world time. I wasn't sure about the finsihing, or if there was one with a chrono as well. I'll have to look into them more. The lack of BT, may or may not be a good thing. Sometimes it complicates things, but it does make the intial setup of a perpetual calendar easier.

The astron has no lume. Like at all.

​@@RelativeTimethe astron also has no lume.

So which model Citizen do you think this is spookily similar to? Most of the Attessa line I've seen online seem to be chronos with atomic timekeeping, but maybe I missed one. if there is one I'd love to check it out.

Take yer pick but the Promaster Skys (AT8040) come to mind.

Mechanical watches are wrist tamagochies

This is true. Long-term wear is always a big concern. I have an old titanium Seiko Kinetic with one that looks all scratched up after 20 some years. Hopefully, the protective coating keeps this one looking pristine longer.

No. But the lume (glow in the dark paint) lasts a while.

@@RelativeTime thank you.

@@RelativeTime does it have GPS?

@@mikespeed3928 no, just multi-band and Bluetooth. I think there may be one Casio Oceanus that does, But don't remember the model. Gps can be great, but has a hard time syncing up when your indoors.

@@RelativeTime thank you so much

Interesting. I guess that makes sense if it's origins are greek. Although I did find a recent Casio Japan ad, that pronounces it near the end. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hqinabdyvLDcf5c.html Right around 12 seconds. It sounds more like oh-shee-an-us there.

@@RelativeTime Thanks -- I'm glad somebody at Casio shares my old "non-standard" take on the name. :-)

I haven't heard of the P2000 ISO, but I had seen the G2000 online. Very curious how well the GPS works to sync the time. Some point I'd love to check that one out too.

I have a P1000 and a P2000. Just took both on my family vacation to Kauai. The P2000 is better that the recent MR-G diver. And costs 1/4 the money.

I'll have to check one out, although they seem to cost a little more.

Does BT stop the watch from using multiband? Now I have noticed that multiband doesn't always work, but I figured that's because of my house with dense bricks all around it. I'll have to look into it more.

@@RelativeTime I've got several Casios with BT and multiband. Once connected they all ignore multiband and demand to see the phone/app. They won't fall back even if you use the "unpair" (not really) described in the manual. I had to dig the web to find instructions on how to find the REAL unpair function in the watches own settings mode, like press this until in time setting, press that until xyz blinks, then press and hold x, y and z until display shows .... I can only imagine how that will work on an analog watch .. Once back on multiband, my watches never fail to sync - every night (last sync timestamp can be displayed). I deleted the apps, unpaired the watches and I'm fine again. Btw the apps are a phone battery drainer. To me, the BT functionality is the most useless and disappointing feature ever.

Yeah, I'm reading up on this now. Didn't realize it disabled or made it more difficult. I'll have to look into this more. I remember back in the old Oceanus app there was a screen that showed up the last time the watch was synced up and indicated if it was BT or Multiband, but I don't see that at all now on the newer Casio app. So I assumed it was using both, but maybe not. Although I will say that so far I've liked BT on it just for initially setting up the watch. Especially the perpetual calendar. Every other analog watch I've used that has had it, has been a major pain to set up.

@@RelativeTime yes I get that and thought the same - it's maybe handy for the setup. But the features are really not worth it. Timezones / world times - after the setup I need to read them on the watch anyway. Alarms - to be honest I rarely use ONE alarm, let alone two or even more. Reminders? Last time this went off on my watch I couldn't remember how to stop it, how to redisplay it after it was gone, andni only remembered I had set it to display someone's birthday. Open the manual viewer, find the PDF, read it all over again ... What a pain in the crack! I turned it off / cleared them all and decided to never use it again - my phone does a better job with the calendar i sync with outlook. Selecting world times was so slow and laggy on the app I was faster setting them by pushing the buttons on the watch. And then the annoyance of a drained battery, the app losing connection to the watch, the watch not syncing time anymore ... Oh Jesus, what have I done?!?! Recently the old app told me it's replaced by a new one, will no longer work. Install new one, try it out , dang I got to pair it again ... Oh no, what have I done? Find the unpair cheat sheet again, not paying attention, did it say hold until x or until y? Dang - watch factory reset. Thank you very much. After I got it all working, set up and unpaired again I deleted the apps for good. I'm healed now. No more connected sh+t on my wrist! Enjoy your hobby - but be a bit more critical about geek features. Then last thing you want to experience is being tracked by all 27 three letter agencies and the WEF because you decided to wear your favourite timepiece. And without cash they soon control your transactions - not only will they know about it, they will bluntly deny those they deem unfavourable. Another watch this year? Sorry, error processing your transaction. Btw, yiuve reached your CO2 footprint limit for this month, no fuel at the gas station, no charging of your EV ...

I thought they were made here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m6hiqKZ8uazboJ8.html Or at least when i registered the watch with the Casio app it gave me a "Premium Production line" certificate. You can see it briefly in the video at 3:35 . But it says something about that factory.

@@RelativeTime No,just assembly,case is made in Seiko factory along with dial,indices,brushing and polishing.

@@dado380 very interesting, found a few threads on watchuseek talking about it. Makes it even more impressive

Yeah, but not to the same level. The finishing of my T4000 was impressive for the 850 USD I paid (at the time), but when I put them side by side next to my SBGA375, there was no context (and that's understandable). The biggest difference I saw on the case finishing, is that the part between the lugs of my T4000 wasn't nicely polished, it was "meh", on my SBGA375 it was nice and clean, despite both watches coming on bracelets. But the GS was overall "nicer" finished. The hands on Oceanus is isn't anywhere near as good, they look from their Edifice line, rough edges and random scratches on them (even see in this footage). But at least Casio doesn't claim that their hands get the same treatment as their cases.
