You read my mind Jody. I'd recently watched the videos you did on both of these watches and have had trouble deciding which is the better choice for me. I hoped you would do a direct comparison video and as usual you came through with excellent execution. There's a probably a case to be made to have both in the collection for different reasons but in the end you can't go wrong with either. Glad you found an Oceanus that wasn't all blue though! When I lived in Japan I was privy to hands on with the Oceanus line and they are all awesome, and mostly all blue.😆

But when Seiko decided to leave the "affordable" watch world while simultaneously abandoning quality control, I started obsessing over microbrands.

Lineage is well worth the money & quality is still up there. I'd like to see a review on the channel. The 700d chronograph or a 170 is a good introduction to the range.

Nice one Jody! Don't own either but always leaned more towards the S100 so glad it regained some points at the end :) IMO the S100 has some more graceful curve sand proportions in the case, just a touch less blocky. And your comment about the bezel-less three-handers too -- with the T200, less 'breathing room' between the indices and bezel makes this more apparent. But both really nice watches.

Wouldn't have been so bad if it had been in a discrete shade of blue to blend in with the dial more rather than stand out. But I like the lume on the second hand which they took away on the T200.

As a certified "bracelet guy," the fit, finish and operation of the clasp are supremely important to me. Plus, the S100 is arguably, one of the nicest titanium watches that I've ever seen.

Small remark on the S100 bracelet, that one is also provided with two 2/3rd links (slightly bigger than half) for more fine adjustments than just the 2 holes in the clasp. Also, you need to get the clasp on the T200 checked, it's leaving way to much of a gap in the closed position.

Excellent review Jody. Well scored, however personal choice, I'd give more to the Stainless Steel, I'm not a Titanium fan, any I've had scratch too easily and look awful, even those hardened coatings wear off. It was a pleasure seeing both of these watches seconds hand hit most if not all of the markers though it looked like the S100 was hitting ALL the markers whereas the T200 missed quite a few at the top. I'd have equaled up the score due to that. Watching both however made me think of the Swiss made Tissot PRX I had, which only managed to hit two markers around the whole dial. Swiss does not necessarily mean good quality control or attention to detail. I like both but Stainless Steel is still my choice.

@hgr.7857 7 ай бұрын

I thought the same thing about the seconds hand ticking precisely on the markers. I have a Casio Edifice "CasiOak", the number escapes me but it looks like a very slim, quartz AP Royal Oak, and the second hand hits most indices bang on. So... Casio can do it for $200-$500, but Tissot can't for 2x-4x the price? Yeah, no.

Over the last few decades more people have a more disposable income and quality of life than was previously the case so I think a lot of those people are treating themselves to a "posh watch", but when you can buy a quartz watch with this level of quality then people take notice. The Tissot PRX is one of the most popular affordable automatic watches of recent times but it's far outsold by the quartz version.

S100 is great in design and color. The only thing I appreciate from T200 is the coating on the crystal... I hate Bluetooth connection because is bi-directional and that means a little radio bombardier on your wrist (also, because of that, is not stealth). I prefer the one with RC, radio reception only... But again, S100 is great.

No idea why the same level of care and finish is not present in all watches. These Oceanus watches have super refined quality, as high as Swiss watches which cost more.

Agreed. They are fantastic for the price.

I own the Casio Oceanus T200 and very satisfied

Regarding weight, I have a circa 2015 model Certina DS-1 ETA 2842 watch made in titanium. 39mm size, 11mm thick. Model number C0064074404100. I wasn't keen on the titanium bracelet which feels quite flimsy. Swapped it onto a "kuki-flex" leather strap and when I weighed the watch it was around 40 grams, Quite impressive for a mechanical watch and despite owning watches many times more expensive it is still one that I grab quite often. You hardly know it is on your wrist.

I've got to Respectfully disagree on a lot of the scores here. I understand a lot of this is subjective, but I think thestrongest disagreement for myself is the dial and hands, I think the 100 has to take it there. The text at the 6 position helps to make the dial more symmetrical and balanced due to the logo and writing at the top. The asymmetry and lack of any real writing on the 200 makes the dial visually unbalanced and very odd to me, as someone who on every watch I own has text at the 12 and 6

As you say it's subjective but have the exact opposite view. I hate the text at the bottom of the 100 and it seems pointless and unnecessary to me. If it said something more relevant it might help but "Tough MVT" just sounds a bit crass to me. Just a shame they didn't put the date at 6.

The T200 would be my pick due to the size. Not to mention I prefer the green dial. WOTD Breitling Super Avenger MK1 White Dial.

I'd still go for the S100! Wears like a dream.

If you are considering these great OCEANUS[ES?] there is also a T200SCE on EBAY with slate grey dial either on the same bracelet or a special pack with a black leather strap and grey NATO. I've also seen a T150 which has a different look again and 5mm of on the fly clasp adjustment.

Junghans has an app for smartphones that replicates the atomic clock signal. You can set it an play for watches that receive such radio signals.

The reason I would opt for the 200 is the dial color. Have enough black dials. Also the BT link. Otherwise I'd prefer titanium.

I’m a sucker for a sports watch, so I went for the T3000A. When Casio makes a T200 in titanium, I’ll buy it on reflex…

Is the T200's second hand missing the markers or does it only look like that because of the camera angle?

These are growing on me.. bit of a hard choice.. guess the stainless model t200 but also agree that it would nice if it was slightly smaller (and had crown guard, but standard 20mm lugs good). $550 AUD doesn't seem that great but a pretty good gada watch.

@bmjames Жыл бұрын

I'm really tempted, I own one of the cheaper radio controlled Casios and I've always wanted something that's as reliable but with a bit more of a premium finish. I just don't know if I could get over seeing "ANUS" on the dial.

Hi Jody, thanks for this review. Which material (titanium or steel) is going to stand up better in the long run (i.e which will look better after wearing every day after, say, 5 years)? Thanks!

I have a Citizen cb0030-56e that is about 8 years old. It's a titanium case and band, with no hardening on either the case or the band. And, it shows its age. I have some more recent titanium watches that have hardened coatings (both from Citizen and Oceanus) and they hold up well - scratches are almost entirely invisible. I think you'll be happy with the modern, hardened titanium watches.
