What is up, my watch friends?!? So, check this out… I have fallen in love with Casio Oceanus as a brand and have totally gone down that rabbit hole. Today I want to compare three of these beautiful watches: Casio Oceanus OCW-T3000-2AJF, Casio Oceanus OCW-S100-1AJF, and Casio Oceanus OCW-T200S-1AJF. Let’s talk a little about the specs, bracelets, case materials, dials, and how they wear on wrist (the case sizes on these surprised me with how they wear on wrist). Do you own one of these or another Oceanus? Which one of these three would be your keeper?

Greetings form NZ! I bought the same T3000 as you show here, Josh. Got it online from a store in Osaka. Absolutely LOVE it! The finishing on this watch is outstanding. I have never seen such gorgeous work on a titanium bracelet, the glass is also to die for. The best grand I have spent on a watch, period. (I have over 30). My first digital watch was a Casio, way back in the 80's (when they cost way more than they do now). From what I have seen on reviews of more expensive offerings in the Oceanus range, the motors on the 3000 are blindingly fast after the watch has not seen daylight after it goes into it's 'sleep' mode. The best value oceanus out there!

I want a Casio Oceanus S100, Titanium with that polishing, atomic time, sapphire crystal, and a bit of a retro look. My collection is nearly at 20 watches, mostly Casio, Citizen, and Chinese Microbrands. Wear an Addiesdive Submariner a lot as a beater and I’m really impressed for the price. I feel the S100 will be my everyday piece and really finishes off my collection. Even when I get a Rolex Submariner I imagine I’ll wear Casio’s far more frequently.

I totally prefer the OCW-T150-1AJF over the OCW-T200. (I've got the T150 and S100 both. Really perfect watches if you ask me (for the price range).) Not only because the T150 is titanium, but also because of the quick-adjustment clasp as well as the beautiful dial, with some nice color (in the y/n section on the dial, used for showing the result of the last radio-sync).

Welcome to the Oceanus club. I started collecting SEIKOs, then G-Shocks. Then I discovered Oceanus and fell in love. I now own the T-200S, S-5000 Manta, and I recently bought the P-2000, which is my favorite. All three of these have Bluetooth, Multi-Band 6, and Tough Solar features. The T100 does not have Bluetooth. The finishing (sallaz/zaratsu polishing) is AMAZING! Have fun!!

I'm finding myself in the same dilemma! Just picked up the T200 and love it for it's 3 hander simplicity, but would really like the AR coating, titanium and integrated micro adjust of the T3000. Come on Oceanus, give us this model very soon!!

@ge48421 Жыл бұрын

I have the OCW-T200S, which I wear on a Perlon strap most of the time because of its infinite adjustability, and the OCW-T4000, which I wear on the original titanium bracelet which has the toolless micro-adjust. I prefer the simple dial of the T200S, but the T4000 has dual time which is helpful to me, so I'm keeping both. I have a 6.5"/167mm wrist, these watches are about as big as I'd want to wear. One thing to mention about both watches: they do not scratch up easily, I expected that about the T4000 because of its titanium carbide coating, but I've worn the heck out of the T200S for over a year and it looks almost new, except for the T200S' clasp.

I have become a huge Oceanus fan. I started with the T-200 for it minimalistic look, BUT it has the tech of Multi-band 6 and Bluetooth. The S-100 doesn't. The app is really cool, too. I then came into a few bucks when my mom passed and I bought the S-5000 Manta, an amazingly lightweight and thin watch. Beautifully finished with Zuratsu polishing (all Oceanuses receive the polishing). I recently purchased the P-2000 with the blue sapphire bezel. All great watches but the P-2000 seems to be getting the most wrist time.

@kirkkohnen5050 2 жыл бұрын

I have both the OCW-S100-1AJF (which you review) and the lesser-known OCW-T150-1AJF. I find myself wearing the T150 more than the S100 for some reason (I truly don't know why - I just do). It's a Titanium watch and band, the band has built-in microadjustment with its milled clasp, it has a flat sapphire crystal, and the date wheel is white text on a black background. The machining of the watch is equivalent in quality to that of the S100. It probably ticks several of your boxes. It has a movement that is functionally equivalent to the S100's movement, but the hands move different places on the dial for status information. The S100 is movement 5235, the T150 movement is 5414. The manual for both movements is the same document: "Operation Guide 5235/5414." It's dam near impossible to find anything on KZfaq about the T150, but look around with the typical Japanese Domestic watch sites, Amazon and, of course, Ebay and you'll find the watch. Take a look at the T150 - I think you'll be impressed too!

I have the t200. I love it in low light. I don't like it in the bright sunlight. Too much bling for me. I also wish it was titanium and had the quick adjustment clasp too. Thinking about switching it out for the s100. Titanium and less bling. My perfect Oceanus would be the t3000 with less bling (matte dial and more brushing). It's way too much for my eyes in bright sunlight the way it is. (I had the blue t3000 for a short while)

You should get a caliper to discover S100 and T200 are basically the same size. Also, I wouldn't go for anything larger than 40mm on your wrist (that s100 looks just right), with the exception of OCW-P2000, which gets a pass for being a pro-diver.

I've been eyeing Oceanus for a few years and my dad has one, 3 hand date and not sure what model but with them all being over 41mm and all dial they just look too big on me. But I didn't stop there, I even looked at women's models and they are all too small. I'm surprised that a JDM only brand doesn't have anything for the 6-6.5" wristed person. I know the specs are not accurately provided by Oceanus but even still they're too big, I do hope they downsize at some point.

Honestly, the Oceanus watches look awesome, and feel premium, but from a practical side they are way worse than the much cheaper Lineage series. The Lineage watches are ana-digi, and basically all the functions are way easier and faster to use. The chronograph, timer, world time, alarms, led light, are features that are way worse on the Oceanus, or just missing all together. I have watches from both lines, the Lineage is just a much better watch, the difference is in fit and finish, perceived quality which is obviously much higher for the Oceanus. But my go to everyday watch would be a Lineage if given only one choice (or a G-Shock)
