@@TheBotleyBoy I don't understand your fear. The only thing which can go wrong beyond repair is that you intentionally smash it with a sledge hammer. Oceanus also has internal shock protection built in. The only watches which are more protected are G-shocks and maybe some bulky Eco-drive Citizen models.
@@jamesR1990 LOL why? Do you fear of getting cancer or something? 😄 Anyway, you can turn the radio control off, and use it just like any other watch. The only difference is that Oceanus will keep its accuracy more than other watches. A guy posted on the watchuseek forum that his Oceanus (s100) lost only a half of second in 3 months without radio control.
I've had this watch for years, its the best watch ever, perfect time, never have to adjust it..perpetual calendar, atomic time adjusted daily..I set my rolex, tudor and grand seiko with this watch..
As far as I know from the G-Shock world, tough solar means it can charge it self even with artificial light and tough movement it can realign by itself the hands in the correct position after a hard knock
It doesn't need to be a tough solar watch to charge with any kind of light. My Pulsar PZ5115X Chronograph with a Seiko movement charges with daylight, sunlight, electric light. Of course Pulsar is a Seiko company hence the movement. But that hand realignment after a hard knock, that's very cool, never knew about that and I have a GWG-2000, but it has multiband 6 so that regulates the time anyway.
@@brianmsahin the ones from Casio are marketed like tough solar and tough mvnt. Just like in many technologies similar capabilities are named just different from each company, just a marketing thing.
Every solar watch would charge from artificial light, that is how solar panels work (so even Citizen Eco-Drive could charge like that). That self-aligning movement is cool addition.
I adore Casio's approach to premium Quartz. Lean into their technology expertise and provide a bombproof and high tech movement in a practical package. Wish they would use that approach in a watch that isn''t blue.
I bought the T200S after a lot of dithering between it and the S100. I went for the T200S because I found it more traditional looking and wanted to be able to put it on a strap if needed. The biggest flaw in the watch? That it's so well-rounded and 'pick up and go' that I never wear anything else anymore. My desire to get another watch has just stopped.
Though movement use metal gears for its minutes and hour hands. There is a sensor under the dial to check the alignment of hands every hour at 55min to insure their position.
@@rkvktmenit can happens only when the watch hit something very hard od expose high magnetic fields. I have lineage model with no tough movement for 5 years and it never misaligned the hands so far.
Nothing more annoying than the JDM-only watches. I looked into buying "The Citizen" a few years ago but gave up when I found I would need a Japanese middleman when it needed servicing or repair. Cannot see how JDM benefits the companies.
Big fan of you and your channel Ben. Also I was choosing between the S100 and T200, and eventually got the T200 SLE (the one with the leather straps). Would love to see it featured as well as getting your thoughts on it too. And it's a great little upgrade from the S100 (which is still a great watch!). Thanks for all the videos!
It looks ugly (reminds me of communist brutalist architecture) compared to S100, is made of steel instead of titanium and removal of city designations means you cannot set the timezone manually. How about that for flaws?
@@impact0r Ugly is subjective, not a flaw. Not setting time is not a flaw because you will never have to. And being steel instead of titanium is a flaw? With that logic every high end watch in the world should be made of TI, which is almost never the case. And it sure has nothing to do with cost because TI is not that expensive.
@@dimi7055 Dimi Yes, ugly is subjective, but it is a flaw for anyone who thinks it is ugly. Yes, being steel instead of titanium is a flaw. Titanium is a superior material for anything that has constant contact with flesh. And it is lighter. And yes, every Rolex and AP are flawed. As everything else is. Anyway, pointed out three flaws (one subjective, yet still a flaw). And here's another one: no clasp micro-adjust. Saying anything (let alone T200) has "absolutely zero flaws" is rather vacuous.
I bought a lineage in titanium ten years ago and have worn it almost every day since then. It still runs like it did on the first day, to the second, and it also automatically switches from summer to winter time and vice versa. Sometimes I also wear them when I go swimming in the lake. I've never had a problem with the watch. Never had to adjust anything. The best watch I've ever had. A "grab and go" watch.
I have a Citizen Eco Drive AT watch that has radio control and a perpetual calender. A great watch which was gifted to me as a long service award by the company I worked for a couple of years before retirement. I love the watch and once set up I have never had to adjust the time or date. It's the watch I set all my other watches by.
Can u select one of them for my wrist 7.25inch 1. MWD-100H-1BV- for 21usd 2. CASIO I117 DW-291H-1BVDF YOUTH DIGITAL - for 30usd apart from that I love stainless steel and retro I hv A700 A1000 and I'm a filmmaker pls suggest thank you sir
I think it's worth mentioning that, despite the inconvenience of an integrated bracelet, many strap companies will make you custom leather straps to fit your watch. They will be more expensive than a normal leather strap, but if you really want to do it, you do have this option.
Took me a long time to decide whether to buy the S100 or T200, the 150 design just didnt work for me. Finally I chose s100 although because of the titanium bracelet. The SS T200 was just a bit on the heavy side for me. Well done, Ben, for a comprehensive review. Casio is the most under-rated brand in the industry. This watch is a gem!
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.
I first bought a T200 and loved it so much I had to have the S100 as well (I'm a watch collector, so sue me!). Both are magnificent do anything pieces.
Why would you say you probably haven't heard off Oceanus! Nice way to insult your viewers intelligence. Your not some watch god and is Casio all you ever review?
I live outside Japan and have the G-5600UE-1JF, which came with a warranty card. Wouldn't you be able to ship it back to Casio with that card regardless of where you're located?
@@Sireth Not sure but I would not have high hopes. If it’s a Japan model then it may have no useful warranty outside of Japan. I don’t think this watch is even supposed to be sold outside of Japan. Your model may or may not be the same, I don’t know.
@@jaysterling26 They’re a good watch so likely people will have a good run with them, even though they’re a complex watch. I however would not pay about 700 Aussie dollars for a watch I can’t get fixed if it plays up. A $300 watch I can throw away but a $700 I would want to get fixed.
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.
It's a nice watch, have it in silver. The movement is actually a Seiko. There are a few of them that Casio uses. Batteries go quick though. Also, most watches technically have a sweeping second hand - that just means it's centered in the watch and sweeps around the whole dial.
Perhaps they've decided 'solar' as a term is misleading. I believe the technology works from any light and is not restricted to solar light. Perhaps in Japan they have more discerning or stricter rules about description of goods.
Does anyone know if sevenfriday watches are good. I like the design a lot but the lack of substantial reviews on TH-cam for any model makes it feel a bit dodgy.
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.
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.
Enjoyed your review Ben - I really love the watch. I've used a Waveceptor for the last 4 years as my holiday/travel watch and it has proved itself reliable and able to fulfill all roles, including water sports. 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.
A real treat for 3 years now, still love it, most comfortable watch of my collection, mouvement being a quartz it is incredible second hand tick, minute hand tick every 10 sec. and hour hand tick every 2 min., the show is at midnight as the date shift precisely at the second, one of the best GADA watch out there.
Have the black S100, great watch. Picked it over the T200 because I wanted the titanium vs steel. Also have the S5000AP, which is an Amazing watch. Need more of the Oceanus line for sure.
And what about the clasp! It’s the only watch that I know of that has the 2 side indented pushers! Even luxury watches such as Longines and Grand Seiko don’t have those (theirs are sticking out on both sides); why? Good job Casio! It’s one of my favorite watches!
Try the T200s, although it's definitely a bit bigger than I want, it's the most attractive Casio analog I've ever seen and has all the cool features of this watch+regular lugs.
I know you can correct the GA2100’s alignment as well. It’s a really good feature if you ask me. Edit: Only other downside the Oceanus has is you can _only_ set it via atomic timekeeping. No manual setting unfortunately.
The T200 is the best watch I've had, including 4 or 5 rolexes. I LOVE IT. I have sold my expensive watches and I'm going to die with this one on my wrist.
Love my t200s. I like the strap type (so I can’t change it, like I do on most of my watches) it is what it is. super comfortable and jam packed with tec.
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.
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
The integrated bracelet is one of the reasons why I hesitate going to the s100 Oceanus. It is undoubtably a more handsome and more luxurious watch than the lineage line. But I prefer the lineage. It has a multitasking lcd display which is incredibly useful. And swapping straps are fantastic.
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.
These watches have lots of wonderful technology that I simply don't need and for which I will not pay. For the price of one of these, there are other watches I would definitely prefer.
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
I appreciate your review, but I must respectfully disagree with you. I own the light blue dial T150 and prefer its look to the S100. To each their own.
There's really nothing that exclusive about JDM watches any more is there? Instead of buying at website x and waiting 2 days, you go to website y and wait 3. Everything is global now.
This is like the Citizen Attesa CB1120-50L but the Citizen is Solar & super Titanium with saphire Crystal and radio with world traveller zone select. Also small and very Japanese but so light and an excellent price can be found.
This Oceanus looks amazing. Classy and futuristic. And while I'm a fan of Casio, the lineage model is kinda ugly. Stop comparing it to the Oceanus haha. I hope I see more Oceanus models in the future from this channel. Perhaps some Edifice too. Which is also a sub brand of Casio.
Hi Ben, do you think the slide adjustable clasp of the Oceanus T150 can be transferred to the Oceanus S100? Or the whole bracelet and clasp for that matter? Cheers
Love the Oceanus range, they would have to be my grail watches. And being a Casio tragic one (or more 🤔) of these are hopefully one day destined to be in my collection 🤩👍

I've used a Waveceptor for the last 4 years as my holiday/travel watch and it has proved itself reliable and able to fulfill all roles, including water sports. 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.
You still got the wrong one. The S100 is an older model. You need to be looking at the T200 and newer.
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.
A real treat for 3 years now, still love it, most comfortable watch of my collection, mouvement being a quartz it is incredible second hand tick, minute hand tick every 10 sec. and hour hand tick every 2 min., the show is at midnight as the date shift precisely at the second, one of the best GADA watch out there.

Have the black S100, great watch. Picked it over the T200 because I wanted the titanium vs steel. Also have the S5000AP, which is an Amazing watch. Need more of the Oceanus line for sure.
And what about the clasp! It’s the only watch that I know of that has the 2 side indented pushers! Even luxury watches such as Longines and Grand Seiko don’t have those (theirs are sticking out on both sides); why? Good job Casio! It’s one of my favorite watches!
Really need one of these myself for review...look too good to ignore
Try the T200s, although it's definitely a bit bigger than I want, it's the most attractive Casio analog I've ever seen and has all the cool features of this watch+regular lugs.
I know you can correct the GA2100’s alignment as well. It’s a really good feature if you ask me.
Edit: Only other downside the Oceanus has is you can _only_ set it via atomic timekeeping. No manual setting unfortunately.
Thats not true, you can set time on an Oceanus manually. My Casio Oceanus Wave Ceptor T-500 does
casio is low on the scale but much better than wht trash timex. i wanted to keep their duro in my collections but no more room in my watch box
Sir make something for GSHOCK also
as an american, I've always found satisfaction in hearing 'maths."
I came, I saw, I bought the watch. Probably the finest watch you can buy for the money.
Love mine S100, will probably get the chronograph version as well.
The T200 is the best watch I've had, including 4 or 5 rolexes. I LOVE IT. I have sold my expensive watches and I'm going to die with this one on my wrist.
After doing the manual syncing the jumps forward 8 days. Anyone know how to fix?
try rice bucket training to enhance the size of your forearms. It works. and you would get thicker wrist
That use of the second hand to indicate modes and other things is really weird...it's like a Ouija-watch.
Look up seiko dancing hands
I just ordered this baby today. Useful video. Thank you. 🕐⚙️🍸
Love my t200s. I like the strap type (so I can’t change it, like I do on most of my watches) it is what it is. super comfortable and jam packed with tec.
Why was this video unlisted it was great love the content looking forward to see what's going to be reviewed next thank you
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.
No edit function on U-Tub.. I meant to type "Tough." Butt eye kant type vary whell.
Does this watch feature the Casio typical hourly beep? this is something I really appreciate, seriously.
About 2,140 K east of Ft. Collins with south-facing window. Get the radio-correction on all but nights with snow or heavy rain.
I bought an S100, now my Rolex dwells where it deserves to be , in my watch box.
4000 euro g shock 9000 euro g shock i dont understand small people makes big watch 45 mm i lost it
So the "fatal flaw" is not fatal?
I have one in black
I will go for some Citizen titanium
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
My most expensive watch is $13. Still watching your all videos. I'm a watch lover.
Tough movement is when all hands go to 12 to align themselves on the off chance they were knocked out of place...
I waiting for episode about Casio aq 800.
The T-150 Is ugly. Looks like three watch styles in one.
So it's just a citzen under the Casio name
The integrated bracelet is one of the reasons why I hesitate going to the s100 Oceanus.
It is undoubtably a more handsome and more luxurious watch than the lineage line.
But I prefer the lineage.
It has a multitasking lcd display which is incredibly useful. And swapping straps are fantastic.
The T200 allows you to exchange straps...
Just added one to my collection! So far seems to be everything that the reviews are claiming!
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.
These watches have lots of wonderful technology that I simply don't need and for which I will not pay. For the price of one of these, there are other watches I would definitely prefer.
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
Very macabre video this time around. The dark clothes and dim lighting are getting us ready for the Halloween themed watch video 🎃
I appreciate your review, but I must respectfully disagree with you. I own the light blue dial T150 and prefer its look to the S100. To each their own.
High time Casio started a mechanical/automatic range.
BALD MAN SPEAKS ABOUT WATCH ++++ ME LIKEY
There's really nothing that exclusive about JDM watches any more is there? Instead of buying at website x and waiting 2 days, you go to website y and wait 3. Everything is global now.
This is like the Citizen Attesa CB1120-50L but the Citizen is Solar & super Titanium with saphire Crystal and radio with world traveller zone select. Also small and very Japanese but so light and an excellent price can be found.
the "Tough mvt" is just ridiculous
Compare this to the promaster land from citizen
We need a T200 in the ring as well.
Are the T150 and S100 bracelets interchangeable? S100 with T150 bracelet with the quick adjust would be best of both worlds?!
This Oceanus looks amazing. Classy and futuristic. And while I'm a fan of Casio, the lineage model is kinda ugly. Stop comparing it to the Oceanus haha. I hope I see more Oceanus models in the future from this channel. Perhaps some Edifice too. Which is also a sub brand of Casio.

Hi Ben, do you think the slide adjustable clasp of the Oceanus T150 can be transferred to the Oceanus S100? Or the whole bracelet and clasp for that matter? Cheers
Still a beautiful watch though.
I wanna ask about an old watch carbo is it expensive or not
I have the black stealth version of the S100, ideal for my cat burgling activities.
Love the Oceanus range, they would have to be my grail watches. And being a Casio tragic one (or more 🤔) of these are hopefully one day destined to be in my collection 🤩👍
Best watch ever
Why don't you review Seiko 5 SRPE51K1.... Its my go to watch to match up with any strap...it looks gorgeous.... And its cheap...you should see it.
