The Oceanus is great but I would save it for those more special occasions, this is a great daily driver. Then a couple of G-Shocks for those tennis days, and a Pro-Trek for hiking days. It's all good. :)
I have the same Lineage but the model with numerals. It's as close to a perfect watch for me as any I've ever seen. Solar, atomic, titanium, sapphire crystal, ana-digi, day/date perpetual calendar, LED, timers, alarms, world time, standard lugs, and the thinnest solar/atomic. Lastly, at under $200 it's a great value.
@@jika8895 Read what it says on the face. He's showing the Lineage, which is what I have. The Waveceptor is the less expensive model with similar functional features.
My father uses this watch for work since 2012… it has some scratches but goes on great without issues. Then for the weekend the good Swiss brand dress watch!
I came across your video by chance. Very good surprise. I am in France and I have the LCW-M170D-1AER model. Only steel not titanium. But the indexes are on the outside crown and give the impression of floating on the dial. This fixes the problem of the index finger being cut off by the screen. On mine, the screen is negative. Which makes it more discreet but also much less readable. And I agree with you on the conclusion. The same thing happens to me, I look at the oceans with interest. But as this climb is a gift, the sentimental aspect helps me to reason with myself. For now. I'll go take a look at the other videos on your channel!
I looked at the M170, but ultimately wanted the titanium. It's a nice feel. I probably won't be getting an Oceanus anytime soon, but I know the day will come eventually. Those watches just look amazing. Until then, I'll enjoy these as my office watch.
I still wear my Lineage M300 even though I have far more expensive watches. It’s a great unobtrusive, no worries travel watch, it would be perfect if the water resistance was 100m. Add a small G-Shock and you have all you need to go anywhere and do most everything, and if it gets stolen your trip is not completely ruined. My point is: watches that cost more do not necessarily bring more enjoyment, today you can wear a luxury watch, tomorrow an $80 G-Shock.
Thank you for the nice review. I have been enjoying one of these myself for the past year but recently noticed something about the World Time feature on my LCW-M100 on a trip to L.A. that I think may be actually be a defect that is either (1) particular to my watch or (2) may be a global defect. Perhaps I can ask you to confirm whether this defect exists for your two watches as well. Here is the purported defect: my watch insists that NYC (Eastern Time) is four (4) hours ahead of LAX (Pacific Time). Of course, this is not true. As we all know, EST is three (3) hours ahead of PST; if it is 09:00 in New York, it is 06:00 in L.A.. Yet my otherwise-perfect LCW-M100TS tells me this is not so: it insists that if is 09:00 in NYC, it is 05:00 in LAX. All the other cities in World Time are correct (e.g., TYO is 13 hours ahead of NYC). I was hoping to ask if you found this to be the case with your watches. Thanks!
You might want to check the manual for daylight savings time. My watches are working okay, although I had to manually set the time because I wasn't getting the radio sync.
@@thissmallwrist Thanks again. As it turns out, the issue did have something to do with the daylight saving time setting ("DST"). DST had somehow been turned off for LAX only; once I manually turned DST back on for LAX, it correctly displayed PST (e.g., 3 hours behind EST). I did not suspect DST, since I get the radio signal nightly and have DST on automatic. But I am glad that issue is fixed now. Thanks again. I look forward to more of your videos!
Thanks for review! Agree on hour marks design - 6 with cut off top looks annoying and dial with 3 shorter hour indices looks better - for me, anyway. You have same model in two opposite dial colors - do you have a feeling that white dial M100 seems bigger than black dial?
So interesting perspective, I own a Oceanus S100 and even though I love the watch, I find myself not wearing it because of the size and proportions. I did my research and a lot of people said it wears smaller than it actually is, but I think because of the 21mm bracelet and integrated lug, I’ve always thought it wears bigger than my other watches. I ordered a lineage because I want the functionality and titanium material like the Oceanus but in a smaller size. I got the Lineage with numerals on it and I can’t wait. I know the Oceanus is far superior in terms of quality and even how the hour and minute hand function but it’s a small trade off I’m willing to sacrifice to have a watch that I’ll actually end up wearing. Something to consider especially if you have smaller wrists!
Interesting perspective. Thank you for sharing. I've looked at the S100 for a long time, but decided on skipping that and jumping to some of the higher models. The entry Oceanus watches are nice, but I figure if I'm going to get one, it will probably be one and done (famous last words 😆)
@@joakimdam9723 I personally really like it. It’s definitely levels below the Oceanus so don’t expect that type of build quality. The bracelet is jiggle-y? But I got this watch to be more of an everyday wear that gives me function that I don’t have to baby while having that field watch style that I like. It gives me the same function as my Oceanus S100 and more, however one thing I was disappointed was that the stopwatch function only goes up to one hour because of the small digital display. This was a big disappointment for me because I use that feature a lot on my other Casio digital watch to measure time between my baby’s feeds. Overall I’m loving the look and function of this watch!
Whats the size of your wrist? I also have a 2 inch wrist like the author of this video so this model fits me as well but i would love to compare oceanus first before i buy but its impossible. Maybe you can helpe decide. Thank you.
Can get the same watch as wave ceptor label... which is lower in cost but the same watch. 630 weak partt is the band, but cleaner dial. 640 has removable link band but has a non functioning dive dial that is eh. 650 is the 640 but with more displays. 410 is all analog dials (but dont know much about those) WV stands for Wave cepter label. LCW is linage.. most expensive is Oceana OCW For wave ceptot L stands for leather band, D stands for stainless steel w resin. And TD stands for Titanium w resin. B is black, with black resin band. Final 4 characters is the dial colors and hour mark styles...for wave cepter.
@@thissmallwrist Oh it is. The M170 are very similar, but with the indices on the minute track, they aren't cropped by the digital display. Also the bracelet is a pen construction with a cuff in the middle part of the link. Harder to adjust.
Great looking watch. I just bought the black face (or is it dark brown?) model. I also have a tiny wrist at barely 6" around. So this watch fits well: I had to remove 4 links! And the link adjustment is super easy to do. I really like that white face since the text is much more visible! But I don't like that there's no month/day display option, other than when adjusting it manually. Also, so far it has yet to be able to sync. I'm in NYC.
@@thissmallwrist Yup. And I finally got it to snyc by hanging it on a short section of copper pipe standing on two small boxes on an east facing window sill, and in the same location that it otherwise wouldn't sync from! So I'm happy. 😊
this watch sold in europe to , not only in japan , very nice looking watch , but i do not like it is a solar , because i have some dark in my room , i do not have where to put it in the light all time , not good for a solar watch , and the oceanus is the king of quartz watches , maybe better then a GS quartz
"cased in china" written on the back. After 3 to 4 years : Water résistance problems, just washing hands, it fills with water. Push buttons have very flimsy springs that catch dirt inside and become inoperant with time. Also alarm function is useless because quite inaudible. + analog/digital time frequent desynchronisation... Nice but overpriced very cheap chinese casio... not so durable you may think 😉

It's a great watch. But like I mentioned, the Oceanus line is tempting.
@@thissmallwrist The Oceanus is definitely more upscale, but I prefer the aesthetics, functionality and value of the Lineage.
yep... same here with white dial I feel this model and the 5610u is the perfect watch collection!
Thats not a lineage line up but the wave ceptor series

That's true. I put on my $15 watch after wearing my more expensive watches all the time.
really thats so cool

Where did you buy? Is it easy to find? Planning a trip to Tokyo soon. Thanks

I don't think the white one feels bigger. It might seem brighter because of the white and reflection of light, but I'm comfortable with both.

Even within the Oceanus range there are different levels, ranging from around $300 to nearly $2,000.
There's a nice range in that line. And glad they release new models every so often.

Nice lineage, i'm tempted to get 1, but i like if there is a crown on my watch, so i may save up for an oceanus someday
Completely understand. I don't mind either. The buttons are nice and simple, but I do enjoy crowns.
what reference number is the white dial one?
LCW-M100DE-7AJF
Amazing review
Some of the best FF content out there
Is it just me or was the ending too much?
Can you put a different strap on there?
I think you can, but I haven't because I like the titanium.
got mine from Japan is a great watch. I got the one with white dial and Arabic numerals.
Nice pick up. These watches are great
It would be perfect if it had more than 2 adjustment holes on the bracelet.
I've found that the watch fits okay, even as my wrist expands throughout the day.

It's a good watch for the price point. Moving up to the Oceanus line is a big jump.

I don't know about this. I don't see the appeal.
To me, it has all the features I'd want, like solar, multiband 6, titanium, sapphire.

Good to know. The buttons are questionable, but I'll only be able to tell over time. For now, it's a solid watch.
