[@chrisp.5272]

And the Edifices too. 👌🏼 Don’t have an Oceanus yet, but my new Edifices EFR/EFB are seriously so good. ✨ Wearing my Casio A168 lately, I think despite having a collection of 24 watches, Casio is my favorite and makes up half my collection. My next watch and last one for a little while will be the Oceanus S100. I’d love to go from Casio’s to Cartiers. 👌🏼

I picked up an OCW-S100 about 6 months ago and it made all my other watches collection dust. It is really the ultimate GADA watch. G Shock in a tux.

[@arielargo]

Great review as always, but I think it's important to showcase some other important differences if we are going to compare with the S100. 1. This doesn't have the integrated bracelet, so this new Manta can be a strap monster. 2. Sapphire bezel and looks like better anti-reflecting coating 3. Nicer, blingier or more modern design (this is subjective) 4. Upgraded movement with Bluetooth, etc. 5. Nicer bracelet (maybe a bit busier) with adjustable clasp. 6. This Manta version has better lume than the S100. 7. The Manta may be a bit more scratch resistant since it has a sapphire bezel vs the shinny titanium bezel which shows scratch lines with time. I still prefer the simplicity of the S100, but I can appreciate this Manta for what it is. Hoping that these can go down in price in a year or so, but I'm still tempted on getting the S100. I even prefer it to the T200! I would consider this Manta in black or green. The colors and sapphire bezel makes this model too blingy, but still very cool!

[@TheGrenadier97]

This might be the best crystal and bezel insert i've ever seen. Very wearable dimensions and amazing thickness and weight.

[@pktsqr]

My T200 (also in green) remains my preferred watch of the three-hand option, but this looks like another stunner. Even if you flatter yourself on your supposedly subtle tastes, as I do, these are sheer joy to look at and I strongly recommend trying one out. Insane build quality and wholly unique - yet coherent - designs. It is weird how dinky some of their clasps are, since the bracelets are clearly worked up with serious care.

[@N3VURMYND]

Still love my S100 but these are awesome. Loving the blue version.

[@jlore6344]

Love those Casios and have some on my wish-list. Regarding Buyee, I learned about them from this channel and have used it to buy a few things that we can only get in Japan. I just got two JDM Seikos for basically the same price as when I saw them in Japan, with the coupons they have. For this last purchase I bought from two shops on Yahoo Auction and used Buyee's consolidation service and saved a ton on shipping too. It all worked great and the watches arrived quickly.

[@LietoUthe]

Outstanding video.I have to go with the MAMACOO, especially with that green dial as my favorite

[@ryanbane]

I'm assuming this works the same way as the S100 in that pulling out the crown to the first position, you have an EXTREMELY easy adjustment between time zones without losing a second of accuracy. I love wearing my S100 for flights coupled with the fact that it disappears on your wrist being such a lightweight and comfortable wear.

[@JustOneMoreWatch]

Indeed it does. And perpetual calendar too!

[@jozsefizsak]

You introduced me to the line and I'm completely in love with their chronographs, which you have never mentioned. They're the perfect watches as far as I'm concerned. Thank you publicizing Oceanus. 😊

[@andrewthomason3857]

I've looked at a lot of photos of the chronos, and I always come away thinking that the hour and minute hands get lost in all the complications. Do you have one? Are you able to glance at it and see what time it is, or do you really have to look closely at it?

[@jozsefizsak]

@@andrewthomason3857 I don't have one but watching many videos, I never had that impression. There are many models and I'm looking most closely at the more recent ones with the Bluetooth feature.and also the popular T2600.. Human perception is actually a complicated thing so it's possible that we just see them a bit differently. Scientists say we see with our brain, not with our eyes. My eye doctor says that too..

[@craighoward5486]

In a world awash in amazing $200 watches, $1200 usd is not "affordable" as you say I'm afraid. It is a beautiful watch, but for $1200 the list of watches in front of it that I'd like is very long. Thanks for another thorough review.

[@e28forever30]

That’s Japanese engineering for you. The Swiss can’t match it.

[@nickfowler515]

I believe most of these Oceanus models have independent motors for each hand which allows for adjustment after the hands are set. They're not geared together. More expensive I'd imagine, but it's effective. And while this model is over $700, the S100 and T100 can be had in the $350 range. If you're gonna sell a quartz at a premium price, it ought to have this feature.

Got myself a Oceanus P2000, which is their ISO diver, for a pretty good price used recently. It's incredibly well finished, it's detailed, and I know it'll be perfectly reliable for the next 2 decades or so. Honestly, it's reduced my will to buy more watches (something I did quite a bit before), because I know I'm not going to get better than the P2000 unless I stump up a lot of cash, especially since I paid under £400 for it.

Gorgeous, as all Oceanus watches are. I'd never get titanium, as I want to feel about 3lbs on my wrist if I'm paying that much, but for the crowd that feels differently, I'd for sure put this on the list. I'll stick with my white T-200 which looks almost the same (except for the colour) and has all of the functionality, but which cost me one third of the price. In fact, I think your review of the S-400 work best as an advertisement for the T-200. Thanks for the review as always; best voice on KZbin. 🔥

In order to get an Oceanus serviced. It must be sent overseas. So for $1000.00 and that service roadblock. I don't think so.

[@vonkruel]

I have a T200S-3AJF (green dial) and it's a fantastic watch. Still, since I tried titanium I've determined that it _is_ for me, and I could see rolling my T200 and another watch or 2 into a titanium Oceanus like this one (at a discount I hope??) -OR- another Eco-drive watch in titanium (since it was Citizen that sold me on titanium watches in the first place w/ the Promaster Land AT6080-53L). I'm at a point where I have "enough" watches, and buying also means selling, but that's fine. You can only love so many watches, and you also don't want to be over-invested in items that don't see much use.

[@nickfowler515]

I got my S100 Oceanus a little over a month ago, and it's been my go-to watch every day. I really like the sapphire bezel on this one, but I was too cheap to spring for it. The bluetooth would be nice to have, but the S100 picks up the atomic radio signal every night unless the weather is bad.

A great GADA watch for sure if you like the slightly blingier look cf the S100 or 200. Not sure it will stay with you given you have the Chronomaster & wear it regularly. Of course Casio do the Ediface range which has some nice 3 handers for way less money (with way less tech) and the new CasioOaks have all of the tech with a very different look, at way less money. Interesting that they have got the crystal so good. I had a JDM Seiko from the early 90s with a similar piece of glass, quite unlike anything else I have ever seen. I found myself touching it regularly just to reassure myself it was still there.

[@metcard]

I have and like everything about my Oceanus except for the massive gap where the clasp joins to the bracelet. That gap makes it look like a cheap $100 watch. I've got Swiss watches from the 90s with a steel bracelet and the gap at the clasp is tight.

[@thebitterfig9903]

Oceanus are really easy to switch between timezones. I can't confirm with this model, but usually when you pop the crown, the second hand will point to the city. Turn the crown to change the city, and when you push the crown back in, it'll change to the new time zone with the correct time. Pop it again, reset to the original city, and you can return to the original time. It seems easier to follow the cities in the bezel than remember GMT +5 or -6 or such.
