I don’t know what draws me to the Oceanus but man I like it

I have a Casio Oceanus from 1985, It was one of the first 'proper' watches I ever bought when I first started working and started earning money. Its in a drawer now and i don't use it much but I'll never get rid of it.

An Amazing Casio that actually interests me. Thanks for the review.

I own this watch and love it. I believe the watch and bracelet are titanium oxide coated for scratch resistance which gives it a slightly warmer color than plain stainless.

I absolutely love this watch. To me it’s better looking than the s100

hmmm... looks like Amazon Japan has it for about $410... and I already have prime shipping here... tempting.

I bought this same watch from Rob last summer. Love this watch.

I have it on a dark blue fabric (not NATO) strap. The one with holes and a buckle. Compared to the S series, this one is pretty heavy with the SS bracelet and it is, like you said, very noisy. The moment you swap your bracelet, it easily becomes your daily driver.

Very cool. The indexes pick up the light nicely. I would ROCK That WATCH. 😃

This is my daily driver, I’ve been loving it... I really was torn between this and the S100 with it’s TI case, but no BT

Very fortuitous timing on this video. I've wanted the OCW-T200 since I saw it in your last video. Just yesterday I had it in my cart on Sakura and slept on it. Woke up to see this vid and it made me pull the trigger. Sakura is sold out now..

After watching your videos on this watch many, many times, I finally pulled the trigger and purchased it. The Oceanus lineup has always been on my radar and I'm looking forward to owning this piece. If money was no object it would be the OCW-S4000s...One day Thanks, Rob!

I bought mine on vacation in Japan last year and still really enjoy it. The Bluetooth feature is really nice and time sync is more reliable than Multiband 6 as it works anywhere in the world. Auto adjusting when in a new time zone is almost like magic. Size is perfect for my 7.5" wrist and the slightly flexible (some call it rattly) bracelet makes it very comfortable to wear. I used to have the S100 but prefer this T200 in steel with slightly more weight and a bit nicer looking materials. I know you have and review many watches but maybe keep it for a while instead of flipping it right away.

The S100 is the better option due to the Titanium case and bracelet, so much warmer and more comfortable against the skin. Also the weight is considerably less than the stainless steel T200. The case thickness of the T200 seems to be slightly deeper, no doubt to accommodate the raised dial batons. The lack of Bluetooth on the S100 is not really a problem since there are free mobile phone apps that can replicate the radio time signal anywhere in the world and the watch will lock on to the phone audio signal and correct the time. Either the S100 or the T200 are fantastic watches with a very sleek dial hiding a technological masterpiece. Literally a set once and forget forever type of watch which will run indefinitely so long as it is exposed to light and correct itself daily. Even in the absence of a time correction signal it will only gain or lose a maximum of 15 seconds a month. The case finishing on both versions is excellent. An absolute bargain if you can get hold of one for around $500 including shipping and taxes. Interestingly, even though the watch is intended solely for the Japanese domestic market, my S100 includes CE and UK compliance markings etched on the back.

Hi great travel watch I would definitely get if I travelled more. One time adjustment auto, two not very expensive so no theft or custom problems. 3 the solar battery is a great feature , had a citizen and it never failed.

I have this watch and the T3000. Both are amazing watches. Connect to the Bluetooth and done. I prefer this one, since i find the T3000 dial "too busy".

really wish Casio would make a 36-38mm version of this. their top of the line oceanus is really cool too

just bought this in all black. Love it.

When I got this watch I took it off the bracelet an put it on a black leather strap. Very comfortable and a great watch.

I purchased this watch the last time you reviewed it... it doesn’t get as much wear as my g-Shocks but it is fun!

I like the Oceanus so much that I bot the S100 n also the T200 a few weeks later. Rotate among the 2 n retired my Rolexes. Am very impressed with the Oceanus brand.

I've been wearing this watch for 3 months now. I wear it when swimming, when doing wood works in making furnitures and even when going to bed. And i'm really impressed. I can't see any scratches in the case. I already started to wonder what kind of finishing does casio did in this watch. Its really a great value watch.

I have the light blue dial, and I love it. An easy contender for a one-watch collection! I don't think the bracelet's that bad. It's not as rattly as a pressure pin bracelet.

Yes, it a great watch, it's one my favorite to ware.

Case is similiar to the grand seiko SBGV243, love it

Stunning watch

I couldn't decide between this one and the S100... So I caved and bought both. They arrive tomorrow. I first bought them on eBay but the seller canceled the purchase because Japan's postal system EMS is not shipping to the US right now due to COVID-19. I ended up buying them on Amazon from a seller called "Last Samurai", which charged a bit more but had no other hidden fees, and shipped DHL (which apparently is the only way to ship from Japan to US right now). Ordered about a week and a half ago and they're due to show up tomorrow. Very excited.

I own this watch. It is hard to show the finishing on camera. They are rumored to be finished in the same lab as Grand Seiko. You receive a certificate showing it was made on the "Premium Production Line" by specially chosen medalists. Only the best can work on this line. I will also say that my bracelet doesn't rattle.

Always nice to be reminded of that Casio also can make really good looking analog watches. This looks great, with the finish on the case, dial and all. Wouldn't mind to have a similar model in a cheaper basic model without the bluetooth function, but with the same amount of attention to the finish and design of the dial etc.

“Obviously I read it all”. Sure ya did Rob, 😂

It is. It updating time via Bluetooth, just the different travelling time (using radio frequencies for updates)

I have always liked this watch....just waiting for a good price.

Hi Rob, great review, at 6:17 it looks great when you put it on, was just wondering what your wist size is? Thanks!

I purchased a watch directly from Sakura and had no issues or extra fees or charges. It was an easy, pleasant experience. Sounds like another reason to avoid eBay; never been a fan.

I had the light blue version and it's probably one of my picks for a perfect grab-and-go watch. I love that it can link to your phone via Bluetooth to update the timekeeping. I think my biggest problem with the watch is that the finishing is too nice. I couldn't really see myself using this watch as a watch to go out and be active and possibly have the watch get all scratched up. I think this one looks better without any wear and tear on it. Bracelet wasn't too bad for me and I think it didn't weigh much, whether that is considered good or bad is up to you. Ultimately, I ended up selling it and buying a Citizen Promaster Diver. I'm also bummed that eBay added state tax to transactions. Definitely kills the deals on there for me. Back to the watch forums!

I think it's a pretty watch and was about to order it off Amazon, but if I have to download an app and go through all that hassle I definitely will NOT be buying it now. I'm glad I saw this video, it saved me a tremendous amount of aggravation.

I own this watch......love it !

Love that dial

Love this model......what do you think of the new Dark Grey dial on this model?

Damn you and your rebuys. Narrowly escaped owning one of these the last time. Why must you tempt fate? I really like the titanium ones like the mont-bell edition you had last week. More tool looking while this, may be more versatile overall, gives a dressy vibe?

Rob, if you had to choose this or the Citizen Mont Bell, which would you keep?

Great video. Thanks.

I guess I'm strange. Never once have I tried to "rattle" a watch bracelet while it off my wrist nor had a watch bracelet rattle when on my wrist. So I think it's odd to discuss rattling a bracelet. Multiband does not "constantly" update. It tries, between Midnight and roughly 6 AM to receive the radio-correction signal. If received, it does not try to receive the signal until the following evening.

There's a version with a leather strap or something like that, so you could buy that if the rattle is a problem. From what I've seen it's about 100 USD cheaper.

You see all locations where you haven’t been all over the world

It's interesting that they have a CE certification and the logo on the back and never sell the Oceanus watches in europe. They don't do that with the japanese G-Shock models.

It's the BT synchronization done automatically? I mean, if I land in a strange place and my phone is showing the local time, is the watch going to adjust by itself, or do I have to fiddle with the phone app and/or the watch?

Wish the l2l was slightly smaller and the case was titanium. Would be the absolute perfect daily watch.

I bought it! And it is fun!

Big phone case! I no longer use a phone case since I found when I drop my phone it just gen the weight and makes the result even worse.

I like the watch a lot, I just have a bit of a problem with the fact they call this Oceanus and then combine it with 10bar instead of 20bar water resistance. Managing expectations

Love those watches - a bargain at the price! atb snack

I would love this watch as my beater. If only it was a little more affordable 😐

I just got mine and I also don't connect with it so well. I proba ly would have liked it if it was nave blue, flat. All this shiny stuff... I don't know if I will keep it.

Wish this was titanium and 39mm. Give me that for $500 and this is a must buy!

Mine of course automatically sends notifications. But it keeps telling me waiting to connect about 10 times a day. Any ideas how to stop this ? I love the watch!

Do these work in the UK ?

According to eBay, the taxes they collect get sent to your state's revenue department. It probably shouldn't apply to international purchases but I don't think eBay cares, they just collect sales tax on everything. You might be able to get it refunded by calling their customer support, but talking to their customer support is like beating your head against a wall and probably not worth your time to do it over 20 bucks. It's not entirely eBay's fault hough. The wayfair supreme court decision means it's going to be harder and harder to buy anything online without paying sales tax.

Can't decide between this and S100

Dying eco drive green Citizen in the background.

Its got a similar look to the Formex, which one would recommend?

I'm stuck between this Casio and the Longines VHP. Wish I could see the Casio in person before purchasing.

The reason that you are having problems connecting to Bluetooth is because you are not holding the button down long enough. You need to hold it until it rotates to the "c" twice.

Love that watch. Not for that price though. Too bad.

It's a pity it's sized the way it is. Good for you that it fits great! Too bad i have small asian wrists smh

😍 Wow that's a beautiful watch! Very interesting concept with this app. 450 USD + eBay is a big no for me 😩

When I log onto the atomic clock website it shows that my phone is 2.55 seconds slow, so this feature is not worth it for me.

What's the difference between t200 and t200s

There is now a new app that they say will replace the oceanus app at the end of 2022

My goodness your phone is dirty. I wouldn't touch it with a stick. Otherwise, thanks for the video!

Your citizen promaster tough is dying sir, u need to recharge it:)

780 on amazon canada :/

Zenith defy classic

Let's follow the line here... had it, gave it, got it (again), paid it +++ (again?), liked it NOT (again!!!), ready to flip it...again. If you were on drugs your pusherman would be the happiest around!! LOL As i am this week/2x Citizen Mont Bell, Formex (fockin name ffs!) and Casio Oceanus, that's a bloody ecucational tv series! ha!!!???

I almost like the S100 better.

I just don't understand the appeal of this watch. Can someone describe what it has that makes it attractive to them?

Its a great watch. Just too big. Rumour has it that the Grand Seiko factory do the casework on this line. Also the bracelet - this is a Japanese thing - they tend to produce their bracelets with more tolerance than European manufacturers as this A. means the watch is more comfortable straight off, and B. arm hairs are not pinched.

Nice watch for under 200.....

I say save the hassle and buy a SARB

That’s a lot of money for a gimmick! Any quartz watch keeps good enough time for me. Lol

Nobody wants tech in a watch like that

Im not buying any watch that has the word “anus” incorporated into its name

Well you didn’t hold the button for 2 seconds to begin.

I like the watch a lot, I just have a bit of a problem with the fact they call this Oceanus and then combine it with 10bar instead of 20bar water resistance. Managing expectations
