JDM Battle! Casio Oceanus S100 v Casio Oceanus T200!

[@caktaylor]

Leave it to Casio to name their titanium model with an "S" and their stainless model with a "T".

[@damyr]

Tempus fugit... I remember the times when you were a dive watch kiddo. Now you're grown up and started to play with serious watches. I'm so proud of you. 😆

[@JustOneMoreWatch]

Ahahhahha! I used to be a Swiss snob too! Still a dive watch guy, but with one eye on Japanese three handers these days...

[@funkmon]

"serious" Casio quartz. Suuuure. I do have a few Oceanuses, and I think they're pretty fun

[@damyr]

@@funkmon Fun, of course. But also Casio Oceanus is the pinnacle of the watch industry.

[@funkmon]

@@damyr it's true. My uncle just picked up a PP perpetual calendar Chrono just to keep up with my hulk of horology, the Casio T150

[@damyr]

@@funkmon Patek is no match to Oceanus. Maybe it can look prettier to some folks, but in everything else it's like comparing a bicycle with a Formula 1. Tell your uncle he isn't even close. 😉

[@philspencelayh5464]

For me its the 100, domed sapphire and titanium trumps all the other points. Fortunately I live in UK so no issues with radio signal. Once you are getting your phone involved you're in smartphone territory and all of their drawbacks, just not worth the trouble for me.

[@bogrot69]

Almost four years in and I still love my S100. Such a light, comfortable watch to wear. Particularly in the summer time.

[@2005batman]

@@fredsoldi9006sure it will. It doesn’t have the minimalistic wrist presence of a new Explorer, but wears smaller than your average 46mm watch.

[@egorzubov6632]

I think a T200 at a 38-39mm size would be a perfect do it all watch, at least for my skinny wrists😄

[@flipmode45]

I also wish it was a 39mm, or at least a 40mm, it is pimp tho!

[@spicydragon3881]

For those not loving the design of these, Oceanus has a ton of different models and designs, even DLC models. Prices run the gamut, from like Jody said, mid $300's to the mid $3,000's, so you are bound to find something to fit your style and budget.

[@sublyme2157]

Picked up a T200 a few weeks back and am extremely impressed. It catches and plays with light like a perfectly cut diamond and is a joy to look at from every angle. The lume, while not overly bright, does seem to last all night long. The bluetooth feature makes setting it as easy as can be, though I would be totally lost if I had to set it manually :)

[@lapoupadotcom]

T200 is the prettiest IMO, the dial has more presence and the brushed bezel and sharper angles just make it look simultaneously more purposeful and refined

[@samwang5831]

Just got my s100 for slightly more than 400USD new incl shipping. I like the slightly retro design. The brushing on the titanium case and bracelet is excellent. The watch sized for my wrist is less than 80gm, I can wear it all day without discomfort. The subtle blue reflection from the markers and sapphire makes this watch look special. It was well worth the price.

[@janreeves5443]

I have both of these watches - both watches that I got came with half links and I was able to get a great fit for my 7.25” wrist. I find the s100 to be one of the most comfortable watches I own.

[@sanman1188]

I've had my s100 for a few years and it has become my favorite daily wearer. I agree that if the t200 were smaller and titanium it would be the perfect replacement someday. Meanwhile, the oceanus has made me question a lot of my collection. So, maybe that is a point against it.

[@craig2100]

S100 is still hard to beat. Have owned one for the years, and it's still accurate and fantastic to wear.

[@albert333pool]

I just ordered it. I had such a hard time deciding on it (S100) vs T200... Hope I made right decision

[@lookatwrist]

I love Titanium but the T200 is just so gorgeous. The indices just suspend over the dial, looks amazing.

[@stillben]

yeah i concur...the 200 looks better.

[@BarnOwl61]

Makes you wonder, do the quartz haters know what they are missing? This is perfection in time keeping! These are both magnificent watches, just like the little brothers of the cheaper Lineage line! ❤

[@smyrnianlink]

I think Oceanus is one of those few quartz watches that is a true collector item. It almost touches perfection and making quartz a part of it .

[@MarkSmith-vb6su]

I have been wearing my new Oceanus S100 for a couple of weeks now. It just gets better and better. As Jody mentioned you barely know your wearing the watch. The quality and finish is on a par if not better than a number of much more expensive luxury brands I own. So pleased I took the plunge. So good I am actually considering buying the T200 as well.

[@jeffwaters5633]

Interesting, the bluetooth for me is a negative. The fewer things pinging my phone the better Lighter bracelet is my preference The main function of a watch is telling time and I find the hands easier to see and differentiate on the S100 Your breakdown is excellent as it allows me to see just where our opinions diverge Thanks!

[@eazye619]

I own an S100 and i absolutely love it. I’d never want the other model

[@j.p.9522]

Wholeheartedly agree. The handset is way better on the S100, sword hands vs untapered generic hands. All-titanium construction with titanium carbide coating beats the stainless construction any day. Bluetooth on the T200 is nice if you are out of range of the atomic signal, but it is also kind of a security problem--who wants their watch to always be detected by another device seeking bluetooth connections?

[@WatchChris]

Man, every time you make a video on these Oceanus find myself searching eBay for one.... thanks, great video *** EDIT just bought the green using the link in the description!! Thanks again

[@JustOneMoreWatch]

Ahhahaha! Chriiiiiis! Good choice mate. I'll be looking forward to watching your review on it.

[@ericinla65]

VERY DETAILED REVIEW - I was up in the air on which of the 2 to purchase. With your review, I just purchased. T200-1AJF. Thanks for your help.

[@garethhanna9173]

I prefer the design and size of the S100, and I'm a sucker for domed sapphire. Picked up the stealth black version and it's a keeper.

[@dcjr1053]

I agree. .The S100 looks a bit more refined to me. The bluetooth feature doesn't do anything for me. So S100 it is.

[@mrzulu1568]

I totally agree s100 in black is amazing time piece. So comfortable an elegant

[@ryanbane]

Have both and love both. Thanks, Jody

[@jodiwilson7299]

Oceanus, great range. Let down by a press on caseback. The Casio Lineage range is the range below Oceanus. Lineage are ana-digi combination offering : steel or titanium, sapphire crystal or mineral, solar charging, multiband 6, world time, alarms, chronograph, timer, battery level indicator. 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.

[@Zephyrdaze1819]

Agreed. The Lineage LIW-700 is the other insane-value watch I own besides the T200. Love seeing the two match perfect time side by side.

[@alaththar819]

Agree. As an LCW-T100 owner.

[@John-P]

I have the S100, it's not a press on case back it has 4 screws , and as its solar I shouldn't need to remove the back for many years

[@jodiwilson7299]

[@lookatwrist]

@@jodiwilson7299 I've noticed a lot of Bluetooth and GPS watches don't have a screw back. Casio, Citizen, and Seiko all seem to do this. I think it has to do with reception somehow.

[@fletchoid]

When I started collecting watches, all of my "Grail" watches were Seiko. But when Seiko decided to leave the "affordable" watch world while simultaneously abandoning quality control, I started obsessing over microbrands. However, in 2022 Casio seems to have all the watches in my "Grail" watch lists. The Oceanus T200 is now on that list.

[@Nefville]

Citizen is still doing great stuff, check them out sometime, better than Seiko at just about every turn.

[@betulaobscura]

Seiko or Orient are still making very good watches! One of the best in terms of "value-price" ratio.

[@weasel9062]

T200 is alright. I have it in black IP. Not sure if I will keep it. Not sure how the finish will hold up long term.

[@k2hsharpe]

@@weasel9062 I've also got the T200s in black. The finish is allegedly Zaratsu, done by Seiko? It is stunning so hopefully it will last. But I'm not keen on the new app we have to pair it with, I can't get any of the same functionality as I did with the past app. Have you had any luck with the new one?

[@jperryhal]

The OCW-T200 has been my favorite watch among 19 others since I bought it. Perpetual calendar and down the second accuracy means it's the watch that is used to set all others except for the Casio GWM-5610, which is itself solar & multiband 6 synchronized here in the U.S. Great battle! Both are superior to many other watches in any price range.

[@MarkSmith-vb6su]

Hi Jody. Had to leave a comment on this as I am so impressed. Bit late to the party on this one but just received my imported to the UK, Oceanus S100. WOW ! You are so right, this is a beautiful watch. You are spot on about the bracelet but got there eventually. Thanks again for your reviews.

[@international_dave]

I think I would go with the S100 if I had the choice. The T200 just looks like a watch from their edifice range at first glance, generic markers and a bit plain looking. Always love these head to head videos 👍.

[@mstevens113]

Agreed, the 100 just has more pop.

[@d7r_tv]

Exactly. The T200 look like a cheap watch.

[@tablameister]

I agree - S100 if I had to choose. Why get a premium Casio with a stainless steel case? My Casio lineage has a titanium case and I paid under $200 for it.

[@67NewEngland]

Great review as usual. Funny how the Titanium model number starts with an S and the Steel starts with a T 🤯 causing me to take notes during the video 😆

[@gundamzaku214]

Late to the video but I’m completely sold on the s100, thank you for the review, all the specs on the s100 I love, just a durable light watch that doesn’t weigh a pound!

[@soulsphere1749]

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.

[@andreidoanca4262]

same here mate...looking to buy the S100 just because of the better proportions, to me at least. The T200 looks indeed a bit bulky, particularly those indices..it kinda puts me off

[@gssf.gr29]

@@andreidoanca4262 I'm the opposite, I prefer the more rugged look of the T200 but wouldn't be disappointed with either. One thing that put me off the S100 though was the "Tough MVT" text on the dial, totally unnecessary and just spoilt it for me. 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.

[@damienbridges8358]

Thanks for the great video Jody. Love a good head to head battle. Keep up the good work

[@Izlik]

Yesss the most burning watch related question i never asked is finally answered!!

[@MarkSmith-pd6fk]

S100 all the way. One of the reasons u buy it is specifically for the titanium bracelet so not being able to swap it out is a moot point. Also OMW is biased towards Bluetooth as he lives upside down with no radio signal so the battle of the watches is also moot... Basically@ the end of that all I got was OMW would prefer the S100 with Bluetooth... Savvy!

[@GamingKav]

I picked up the S100 because of it being titanium and I prefer the blue over the green. Both watches are great!

[@jamesR1990]

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

[@gssf.gr29]

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.

[@TheMainCore]

Dang it, you are going to make me buy one soon! Still a little bit boring... but so clean! Love the movement!

[@ForeverUnknowing]

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.😆

[@tarasmathers7423]

Well done, Jody. I must say that I prefer the S100 stylistically over the T200, but it's so d@mn close. The deciding factor for me at the end of the day, would be the unsightly lip of the clasp edge, where it meets the bracelet. That would drive me banana's, brother Jody. 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. What a beauty!!! Very enjoyable episode. Thank you so much for the quality entertainment. Cheers, and best wishes to you

[@rava2107]

All of the casio ranges seem to be punching way above their weight I picked up an edifice and it has surprised me enough that I am actively looking for an Oceanus and after watching your review today I am definitely going to get one now I watched your reviews of both watches but seeing them side by side has given me a better idea on which one to look out for thanks for another great review Jody and long may they continue 😀 👍

[@Razor_Burn]

Another great comparison video Jody and although I'm more a GShock fan myself its encouraging to see some great alternatives on offer from the Oceanus range!

[@peasantrobot]

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.

[@dikkie1000]

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.

[@victor2881234]

Just want to say thank you for recommending T200 green dial. Mine arrived this week and I like the weight, the crystal, dial, and case finish. I think it is a keeper. It is a comfortable watch to ware.

[@Ahcelaht]

Do some Grand Seikos! (GS GMT vs Rolex GMT (or GS GMT vs OP, because of the similar prices) dial macro comparison would be very interesting!)

[@adrianlovett3483]

I can’t comment on the Oceanus but having purchased a G shock metal I am amazed at the “crystal” dial and build quality. It always displays the “time” and even though I am lucky enough to have swiss and GS, my G shock gets a lot of wrist time. Casio really are great value as well as “ luxury “ feel. Casio could do even better if they simplified some of their looks to avoid the transformer look.

[@billgrisenthwaite3874]

both desirable but I prefer the t200 dial colour. My casio Ediface is probably the most worn of my watches just seems to have that little bit extra solid feeling handy for a daily wearer

[@tablameister]

Thanks for the video. I am going to get an this year Oceanus but not either of these two. I really like the OCW-T4000CL-2AJF (I am a chronoholic). I currently have the Casio Lineage LCWM-100TSE-1AJF, an "Oceanus-lite" because it has a titanium case+bracelet, atomic clock sync, solar powered movement. I love it - small, light, and very comfy! The T4000 has all those features plus bluetooth (for access to the app) and is a chrono all for under $600 shipped from Japan.

[@weasel9062]

And 2nd time zone and 24 hr dial. I have a few of these chronos and I don't even care about the Chrono function. I just like the sub-dial for traveling and business... Need to keep an eye on when the market opens

[@AlexN2022]

I have the S100, and it's the only metal bracelet watch that can be worn during a hot summer comfortably, because it's so light. That titanium really does make a lot of difference. I don't own a T200, but I spotted it on a plane recently and it looks much more expensive than it is. Bummer it's steel though.

[@cajanir]

Great shootout! The Oceanus line makes me wish more brands would opt for solar quartz movements in their affordable offerings. I'd much rather have solar quartz with a sapphire crystal and upgraded finishing than the typical NH35 or Miyota automatic movements.

[@El1988Che]

That would be cool but Quartz is loosing ground in popularity. There's a clear decline in affordable quartz watches sales because you have smartwatches for the same price... And people are starting to buy mechanical watches as jewelry than a tool that tells the time.

[@bobcrane812]

@@El1988Che I agree. Plus I only need one or two quartz watches in my collection for when I don't want to set a watch, where as I never get tired of a nice automatic.

[@gssf.gr29]

@@El1988Che I'm not so sure, a lot of people buy an automatic for the finish and craftsmanship while quartz are usually associated with cheaper, more affordable watches for the masses and I think it will always be that way. 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. I bought the T200 for £270 after almost buying the Longines Conquest at £1900 - the Casio was a no brainer.

[@pk464]

Love my S100 keeper.

[@brianmsahin]

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]

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.

[@gerrytemple5044]

Great review once more - thank you! Cheers from Germany

[@Tangylives]

Been happy with my T200 for years. It's my go to watch for setting everything else to and there's no chance it'll ever leave my collection. If they ever did a say, T210 in titanium and a mm smaller...lets say my card is already out Casio.

The T200 really is amazing for its price, and puts to shame a lot of watches that are priced way higher than it. Thinking of picking up a second colour (the grey/black) version if I can. My only tiny gripe is that I wish the 'Oceanus' text was a little smaller

The 200 is just gorgeous.

[@borbetomagus]

Nice watches, but I just wonder why they're off about a half a second given their synchronization capabilities.

[@michaelkaliski7651]

I absolutely disagree with the scores and it is clear that the S100 is the true out and out winner. Titanium is so much better for a watch and if you are buying a bracelet watch, you are never going to change the bracelet - that is why you buy a bracelet watch in the first place. You can use an app on your phone to correct a multiband 6 watch whenever you feel the need if outside a coverage area. Bluetooth is okay for now, but will it still work ten years down the road? The S100 is 98% in my opinion with the T200 92% at best due to the stainless steel.

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.

[@UnknownUser-rb9pd]

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.

[@IlluminatingWatches]

I do like the look of the Oceanus range but do struggle to see whether they make any money from it. The fact that I’m a massive casio fan and never touched one suggests the market ain’t big!

Great video! I have an S100 and absolutely love it. My watch came with half links for the band making for a perfect fit. Did Casio start or stop doing that?

Don't give a tuppeny chuff about these and will never buy either one , still watched to the end, 🤣🤣🤣

The S100 has dual motors, right?

The sheer blueness of the S100 was too much bling for me. I was surprised how much It pops far more than even a good video can show. The weight of the S100 needs some adjusting too if you have steel watches, to me it felt a bit toy town. As a glasses wearer I also found it very hard to discern the text around the chapter ring of the S100. I had to keep a picture of it on my phone so I could set the times zones. I liked the intent of the S100, but in practical terms it didn't pan out. Maybe that is why the T200 was produced, but I've not seen or worn a T200 in the flesh so I can't offer an opinion on that.

I have the S100 black and T150 light blue. The stainless steel of the T200 is a deal breaker for me.

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.

I'd like a 3rd option: call it a U300 and take the sword hands from the S100, put them -onto- edit: into a 38.5 mm rendering of the T200 and I'd call that a perfect quartz watch. I really do t like those silly and frivolous long counter balances on all the T200 hands. Love the pointed baton/fence post style, just hate that they extend past the pinion 🤷🏼🤦🏼
