Look what you've done now, the price has jumped and the stock has nearly depleted.. 😤 Please, just stop reviewing nice watches!.. 😡 Jokes aside, good thing I already have one and cannot recommend it more to anybody interested in a medium sized watch that wears even smaller. It is probably my precio.. I mean favorite watch overall. I'd say 180 to 200 it's where it's at.. (right now, the last piece seems to be going for £185 which by me it's a fair and very compelling price) One can not go wrong with this watch, period.

[@Vaco67]

I’m having a hard time with this one. It’s one of those watches I wish I could earn or snag for free. But I can’t bring myself to pay over 200 for it.

[@bilalafzal8098]

Never really been a fan of Casio's mid-range watches. Not gonna deny my love for budget Casio's such as Casio royale but I still think that if you want to spend more then a 100 on a Casio then you should go all out and get a Casio Oceanus. Sure it's pricey at around 500 but the quality and the level of finishing is comparable to Rolex. For some people, they have lasted close to a decade and the most iconic thing about the titanium watches is that they are difficult to scratch. The scratches that most people have reported on their watches is mainly due to the links of the watch rubbing against each other. What a masterpiece for the price XD

I was a North Sea Saturation Diver. We worked at depths exceding 400ft and sometimes - personaly - up to 1000ft. The big names in watch making :- Rolex, Omega etc built dive watches designed to be used at these depths, but they cost a fortune!! OK - we earned a load, but to be honest we didn't really need a watch! We were connected to the surface by Coms., so we just had to ask the time. What most divers used was the standard garage sale Casio Digital Watch. It was indestructable, accurate, back lit so you didn't disturb your chamber mates in sleep periods - and if you ever did break it, or more likely loose it, it cost less lhan £10 to replace. We actually never managed to destroy one in fair competion - IE having it on your wrist at 450ft while cutting pipe with oxy-electric equipment with the watch inside the pipe on your wrist! Amazing Watches !!

I totally agree with your assessment of casio watches. I have a titanium model multi band 6 with a plastic lens. I wear it all the time on my right wrist and rotate my small collection of far more expensive watches on my left wrist. Frankly, it has all the others beaten on features for the princely sum of £112 (from Amazon about 2/3 years ago). Not a mark on the non safire crystal lens or the titanium body, but the bracelet (especially the clasp) has picked up quite a lot of scratches, but not deep enough to not polish out, if you're OCD. Fantastic value for money across the range.

[@hb9145]

A Casio 5610-1ER is the perfect beater watch. Rubber all over and 200M water resistance. It's also the perfect timekeeper, being radio synced. You can walk up to a guy wearing a Rolex and ask him what time he thinks it is. ;)

[@albertoramirez2005]

I own a Casio Lineage titanium watch, and has been with me running perfectly for over 16 years. I love it.

[@sunsetsam33]

Thanks for the review. The Casio Lineage line deserves more visibility. I own the Lineage model you showed with the numbers on the dial. It's easily the best watch I've ever owned, and a truly amazing value. Atomic radio sync for always perfect time, solar so no battery change hassles, titanium, sapphire crystal, lume and LED for checking in the dark, analog/digital with perpetual day/date until 2099, world time, alarm, timer, stopwatch. Also, has standard lugs so very easy to swap the bracelet for a different band. Not oversized or too thick. All for a very affordable price. I looked far and wide and this watch checks all my boxes, and is the best watch for me at any price. Cheers.

'Fer sure... requires zero maintenance and it even sets itself to the nearest _second,_ plus the hands always line up perfectly w/ the indices!

[@richardevans6955]

I have the real numbers version. Solar powered, legible date, luminescent hands and numbers, light, and daily time sync. Took me ages to find a watch with everything, and this has it.

[@Phanlix]

The ones with the real numbers are often referred to as 'easy read' watches, after the classic timex easy reader which features large numbers. They're also known as 'arabic numeral watches' as most people don't know the classic 0-9 numbering system is actually arabic in origin. Anyways, I got the same version you did and couldn't be happier with it. I've never owned an all titanium watch before and it's definitely my favorite watch material for comfort. Stainless steel irritates my skin after a long day or if I sweat. Nylon and leather also are bad over time. Silicone is nice, but traps moisture on the skin and is too cheap looking. I'm too poor for gold/silver so I'm not sure of those. I can go days without taking it off even for sleep. It's a really beautiful watch in person too. The multicolor flare of the dial just does not show up on camera as well. It's a watch that both blends in well and pops under close inspection. Definitely my favorite watch, and my current every day watch. I only take it off when I'm switching to a beater when I'm doing dirtbiking or white water rafting. I'd say this watch could maybe even handle these activities, but then again I've destroyed a G-Shock before.

YES, YES and YES! It's not maybe the greatest watch ever, regarding design and finishing, but it certainly is *THE BEST* watch ever produced. PERIOD. I have the older version made of stainless steel and mineral crystal, and this titanium/sapphire one I'm planning to buy. You just need to purchase it, fiddle for a bit with functions, initiate radio control function to wind it up... and then just forget any hassle with time, because it will correct itself once in every 24h. And it never loses battery power! I'm confident it can last for decades, until at one point of time the battery will wear off... but who knows when that will be. The only problem is that sometimes it's so perfect and so persistent, that it can become boring. And I'm not kidding. LOL This watch is the only watch you'll ever need... and did I mention it's better than all watches ever produced, combined? No? Well, it is. PERIOD.

I have an old Casio Wave Ceptor OCW 530 with a heavily beaten up glas. I bought that watch in 2006 I think for around 200€. It has 10atm, solar and radio. It has been on my wrist since then. It has been with me twice in Kosovo and in Afghanistan during my missions there as a soldier (German Army) and I still wear it today at work. Casio is really tough. Thanks for that review, I ordered that LCW-M100DSE-1AER. 10 ATM would be better but stainless steel, spahire glas, solar and radio for that price is awesome.

[@JoeAnshien]

Great review. My last Casio solar titanium battery lasted 18 years. $40 for a new battery and sold it for as much as I paid. I now have the same watch you reviewed and it is a fantastic watch. Probably is the "greatest watch ever made @ the price it is". I recommend Casio solar watches to everyone not hung up on brands and wants a great watch that lasts forever. Like you said I do wish the light was brighter or better. That is my only criticism.

That review from Amazon is right. I also have this watch and this is the best watch I've ever own if you factor the materials, quality and features to price ratio. The good design is just a bonus. Come on, this is sapphire, titanium (case and band), solar-powered, analog-digital combo, multiband, water-proof, easy-to-adjust band, illuminator. Tell me another watch with that set of features and materials around that price and I'll take back what I said that this is the best watch ever.

[@b.scottgould]

I have a stainless steel version. I wore it as a builder for 5 years and it had a hard life. Despite all that, it is still running strong after 8 years. It has never run low, leaked or failed. While the case is a bit battered, the sapphire crystal is completely unscratched. I have never had a watch last more than 2 years. This one will most likely be the last watch I will ever own. Should it ever fail, I would not hesitate to get another if this one cannot be repaired. My only criticisms are the light is a bit weak and the button selection has always been a bit confusing and I have given up using them.

[@paulplus3830]

I have a variant of this watch and when I look at it, I still have the feeling of a brand new watch. Surprised, I realized, I had it for 5 years already. Great watch! But I doubt it charges in 8 min. Too lazy to check, but I believe the manual said, when you push the light button, the energy you use up for that function needs 8 min of recharging.

[@Bunter.948]

Ben, Based on your review, I bought one from Amazon at £204 including taxes (I hope!) and having checked the model numbers. It was delivered an hour ago and I am delighted. It was telling the correct time out of the box. Until I confused it while attempting to confirm the settings, but all fixed now. I think it looks really smart. Thanks for your advice. Simon T

[@majordendrocopos]

I have owned one for around six years. The titanium case is beautifully light, the crystal face refuses to get even a single tiny scratch, the watch has always been correct to the second. Absolutely no problems. As a classic wristwatch it is perfect. There are better (and hugely more expensive) watches if you are more interested in jewellery than knowing the exact time. Apple watches also give you the exact time but they are in a different league in other ways. Which is best? Depends on what you want.

[@garyz5786]

Having one with same duration, I agree with one minor exception. The titanium band gets quite a few scratches. Not a terrible price to pay for the light weight benefit, in my opinion.

[@Dahrenhorst]

What I think is the most remarkable feature of this watch - which is in most cases even not matched by watches ten times its price - is the perfect and automatically adjusted alignment of the hands to the indicators. Just look at that and be amazed. I haven't yet found any other quartz watch under 1,000 € which does that. Add the sapphire crystal, the eco-drive and all the functions over the display, and you have one of the most reasonable, versatile, accurate and refined watches for under 500 €. It's only drawback is the limited water resistance.

The Lineage line appears to be all metal watches, versus some of the other Casio watches, utilizing similar movements, that combine metal and resin.

[@Tallnerdyguy]

The Wave-ceptor was the previous version (10bar WR) which i have had for almost 11 years. Buttons don't work (gunked up) and the bezel crown fell off. But it keeps accurate time and solar works. Part of the "case roughness" is because it is machined titanium, which is notoriously hard to machine and to make it look clean.

[@TommiAtah]

I own a stainless steel white face - It was pre-owned as good as new, but the bracelet was a bit naf. Put it on to a vintage green strap and it looks the bees.

[@arcadely]

Casio make some quality watches and are, I think, highly underrated. Casio can do for £200 what Tag Heuer cannot do for £1200 (make a watch where the second hand hits the markers!) and, in terms of features, functionality, and build quality, for quartz watches the Japanese brands in general leave the Swiss far behind. This one looks really classy and, although they're (quite a bit) more expensive still, reminds me a bit of the Oceanus series they do. I know you don't really do the cool wall any more (shame, because the Archie clip always made me smile) but this one is damn near ice cold. The only thing that really hurts it are the case finishing issues you highlighted, but that might be a nitpick: I think titanium may be harder to work with than steel. My only other benchmark here is a Seiko SKX than I paid similar money for a few years back (the case finishing is bang on, and so is the dial and chapter ring which is almost surprising, but the hour hand alignment is a bit gimpy). Great video - enjoying all these Casio reviews!

I'm not a wach expert by any stretch. But I've purchased 2 watches in the last year...both very inexpensive, both a superb value, and both a Casio. One was the fat digital behemoth with red band for $19, and one a squarish telememo for $29. I may have to get this Lineage as my 3rd. Hey Casio, your "up market" strategy of offering great inexpensive watches and moving folks up in price within the Casio line is working with me!

[@marais75012]

I bought one in 2020, when my vintage Citizen required service and the shop closed during Covid. I share your enthousiasm, this is an amazing value, and a real beauty as well. I would like to mention two minor gripes, though: The stop-watch only counts up to 1h and does not have split times; I have to use another watch (a Casio as well) when I go for a run. I travel a lot, and I really like the world timer for that reason. But there are some regions in the world - even within Europe - where the watch will not capture a time signal. However, it does indicate that clearly, and the quartz movement is precise enough to remain on time for several weeks without a time signal - just make sure to adjust for daylight savings time, should you be too far away from a time transmitter when they make the switch.

[@marais75012]

I found an issue with this watch: If you're on a trip and use the World Timer to display local time, and keep the analog dial displaying time in your home zone, the watch will continue to try to sync with the time signal of your home zone, which will obviously not work. You have to change the home zone to your destination to have it sync, but for me, that defeats the whole point of the world timer: For short trips I do not want to mess with the home zone setting. But then again, you might say that you can live without a sync for a few days (or weeks).

[@bronekkozicki6356]

I bought this watch few years ago. While I agree with all you have said, there is a point to be made about lack of hard coating. Titanium is actually rather soft metal and will scratch easily, unless coated or surface hardened. This one has neither and will scratch much faster than steel watches do.

[@davidashton2361]

I agree with your comment about titanium, but I recently saw an article about this metal and apparently there are two distinct mixtures with it as far as watch construction is concerned. One is very soft but very resistant to corrosion etc and the other is much harder but prone to corrosion. I have a small watch collection with some in titanium. The very early titanium watch of some 20 odd years ago picked up a lot of scratches and the more recent one is with super titanium (as Citizen call it) is unmarked even after having been worn for an extended period.

[@joejoeffrey1212]

@@davidashton2361 Do you happen to know where I could obtain the information from, whether this watch uses super titanium or just titanium?

[@davidashton2361]

@@joejoeffrey1212 Hi Joe. I'm new to this form of communication so sorry about the delay. As I said, I have one of these watches and I wear it all the time. It is fantastic but it doesn't have any form of anti scratch coating and neither does the latest models, as far as I'm aware. Even so it's the best watch I have ever owned. Citizen, and I have a few of them, started their titanium watches without any hardening process and suffered with the same problem until they brought out the 'super titanium' models. This has made them very scratch resistant. I have an early skyhawk titanium model and an f900 super titanium model, as I said and the difference is remarkable. I don't know of any other brand producing scratch resistant titanium models.

Great review Ben, I have what I think are older versions of the watch that are still available if you look online. My titanium version is a LCW-M170TD-7AER with lume on the hands that looks similar but without the extended biceps between the pushers or that quick adjust bracelet (mine also has hollow end links). The case quality on mine is very good and the hands are as clean as a clean thing following a cleaning day. The functions all seem the same and it really is a cracking watch. I also have a 6 year old black stainless steel version LCW-M170DB-1AER (negative LCD) with lume on the hands and hour markers that apart from a couple of times about 4 years ago (it hadn't been worn for quite a while) with a second hand having a bit of a rest has been perfect for the last 3 years. Easy to re-align the hands though. Both watches have seconds hand perfectly matching the markers. Casio build quality is not only good but consistent as well.

[@e.t1031]

Hi would you say the stainless steel variant is more scratch resistant compared to the titanium?

[@carpandrei7493]

I also own a Casio.... it basically put my other watches in the drawer. My Casio is a AQ-S800W. Solar powered ana-digi awesomeness. Love it. And this model has a stark resemblance to the lower end part of the Oceanus Line.

Why are so many parts of this presentation blurry?

[@ohkay8939]

I've had an older version of this watch for 9 years now, wear it every day and have never had to replace the battery yet. In winter when my sleeves cover the face, I may put it under a lamp in the evenings to top it up a bit, but that's the extent of my battery worries. I do like the digital display in my version a bit better - on mine it's split so for the date the day is in a separate smaller screen. But yeah, it's an amazing watch and actually people comment on it looking great as well.

[@eoon]

Hi Ben! I just bought this watch after watching your review. That's the most expensive watch I bought to date! Couldn't be happier with it, looks really classy yet fits a casual look too. I love the idea of solar charging and radio sync. The small digital screen also looks great and nicely compliments the analog face. With the titanium build it's so nice to wear and the bracelet adjustment method is just pure genius. I also just watched your top 10 worst watches. You remind me of the youtubers I used to love - knowlegable, passionate ppl who shared their knowledge and have fun, not whiny sissies who constantly advertise stuff, create sponsored content, and ask to buy sh*t to "help the channel". Keep it up man. I'm no watch-freak myself (although I've always had a piece on my wrist) but I started going through your vids just because of what a cool guy you are. Cheers!

[@MrAldon100]

Hi Ben, got this watch after watch-ing your review.. I'm really happy with features and looks ... thanks a lot 🙏

[@Paratyphi]

Nice review. I have a LCW-M170TD-7AER (bought five years ago) which is quite similar and it's a fantastic watch. Concerning the 8 min charging time, it's the time you need to expose the watch to sunlight per day to keep it's battery "afloat". To charge it fully it take way longer. It can still be charge by indirect sunglight and even indoor lights! I have a watch which is quite similar in terms of feature but has no digital screen. It's not in catalog anymore, i think it didn't even stay for sale more than 2 years.

[@plmsdevelopments]

I bought the LCW-M170T Lineage Titanium Sapphire about seven years ago to replace a Citizen Ecodrive Chrono that had a way too hard a life (for it). The Casio has been amazingly tough, I have never been able to keep a watch glass scratch free for as long as this one, even accidental drops onto tile floor or brushing a brick wall didn't scratch the sapphire lens. The best watch I ever had by a long shot. If I lost it I'd immediately buy another.

[@laneboatshop]

The Casio OCEANUS is definitely the one to have ! Excellent finish and precise timekeeping.... Solar powered as well

[@TJS2212]

Been wearing this watch for over a year now. Use it as my daily beater, but honestly it's so much more. It's a brilliant watch. Looks great and keeps perfect time. Tons of features. Everything you need in a watch. Only downsides for me are I would like to see a white backlight rather than orangey yellow and it to be stainless steel rather than titanium. I know some will think titanium is a pro, but it's a bit too light for me and scratches easily.

[@mrkiky]

There are stainless steel versions too though.

[@Likwidl]

Looks like a budget oceanus. Would save the money and shoot for the oceanus which has the finishing to rival grand Seiko based on online images

[@BioTurk]

Exactly

[@fattmatt200]

I picked up a used oceanus and can confirm the finish it very good

[@GodIsInHisHeaven]

Oceanus watches are nice, but they are quite sporty looking across the range. Seriously not sure if Oceanus can rival Grand Seiko finishing to be honest, Grand Seiko is out of this world, and you can't base assumption on just online images (that can be photoshopped) without handling in person.

[@Andrew.W75]

Sorry but I can't believe the Oceanus has finishing to rival a Grand Seiko!

[@Tangylives]

@@GodIsInHisHeaven I have the Oceanus T200 and the finishing is a small step above my SARX055. Polishing is on par, but the transitions are just a tiny bit sharper. SARX055 does stomp the Oceanus into the ground when it comes to handset and dial finishing though.The T200 is considered a budget offering in the Oceanus line. The top tier models may well be even better. I'd loe to try out an S4000 or S5000 one day alsongside an SBGA.

[@acdtelecom]

I enjoy your videos detailing Watch reviews. I do often wonder why several of your videos show a blurry, white screen when you are obviously discussing browsing certain websites for watches. Is this a prerequisite by KZbin or just your preference to blurring out specifics within the websites viewed?!? Keep up the great work!

[@DavidDatura]

This is the best looking most desirable Casio I’ve seen since the Casioak. I want one!

[@BensWatchClub]

I have another Casio Casioak alternative coming up in a future video - also better than the Casioak in my eyes!

[@mariuszsch.79]

@@BensWatchClub I really hope it's the Edifice EFS-s570 :) No titanium and multiband, but much better case finishing, better integrated bracelet with no hollow endlink, 100m water resistance and sapphire, solar. Also a really unique Genta-esque design. If you review it, it's gonna be like a childhood Christmas for me :D Keep up the great reviews Ben!

[@TYPICHIT91]

My brother used to use old version in 1998. It was very great water resistance. He had lost it in the water nearly 6 months. In try season he found it because it rang in the soil. It was no water in it. it was still condition.

[@RacountersThe]

Thanks for this video. After two years of watching the video occasionally I finally bought them. I practically never take them off! Solar charging and automatic radio time correction is a really cool feature. And they look amazing!

[@SuodesTzeos]

this is an amazing watch! the M170TD is my favorite out of all the Lineage line-up, but this one is pretty close too!

[@bestvaluewatches]

This is really quite a nice watch. The dial is impressive for the price. And as you mention the specs are amazing and really they all add up nicely to create a complete package

[@larryfromwisconsin9970]

Nice. I have for many years been wearing a less expensive version of that watch. Same module and functions but plastic case clad with a stainless cover. Also mine has an acrylic crystal, but any scratches polish out easily. The Wave Captor functions flawlessly where I live in Texas, USA, but it was spotty traveling in California and didn't work at all in Northern Minnesota. While traveling it is also difficult to change time zones. Not really difficult once you have the manual in your hands but not intuitive. I especially liked using the countdown timer when cooking on the BBQ. Unfortunately the timer alarm burnt out. Now the tone is only audible if I hold the watch to my ear. I still wear the watch often but bought a less expensive Casio for cooking. I got a $19 Casio that also has moon phase and tide graph. I live near the Gulf of Mexico so that function is useful and fun. But setting up the tide graph is very difficult even with the user manual.

[@vincentssoul2369]

I was about to chose automatic Seiko 5 after your last video, but some how my yes catching solar watches and I've picked LCW M100DSE-2AER several months ago, and I realy love it! even sleeping with watch on my hand , thank you for high quality reviews

[@lookatwrist]

This watch comes in both steel and titanium forms. The LCW-M100TSE models are titanium, the LCW-M100DSE (sometimes listed as LCW-M100D sometimes) is stainless steel, and also does not have a sapphire crystal. The naming isn't as difficult as you mention. This watch is the LCW-M100TSE-1AER. Remember, Lineage are not officially sold in much of the world, so importers are responsible for much of the inconsistent naming. Lineage has been around in some form for over 20 years. Wave Ceptor is Casio's brand name for radio atomic technology, and they have a line of watches that features it also called Wave Ceptor, these are sold more widely. Lineage is a more premium line from Casio that features full metal cases, Wave Ceptor technology, and Tough Solar, and more. Tough Solar is Casio's brand name for their premium solar watch technology, akin to "eco-drive". Wave Ceptor technology is also in many Pro Trek and G-Shock watches. Multi Band 6 means it works with all 6 radio atomic stations. Casio has a fantastic naming convention, better than any other watch brand. Instead of memorizing reference numbers you can tell a lot from just the name. From the name alone I know that this watch is part of the Lineage line, is an ana-digi model, features Wavecepter technology with Multiband. I also know that this particular colorway features titanium, is black, and yours is specifically sold in Europe. Drop the model suffix (1AER) and you can easily search for the watch and all of its colorways. Sometimes it's hard for other brands to easily find all the "related" watches. It's probably safe to leave off the "ER" or other region codes too, because this same identical watch may be sold in other regions with a different region code, but all that differs is the tag and packaging. So this watch is probably best referred to as the "LCW-M100TSE-1A". And last - great review! Great watch!

[@carlcox7332]

I have the wave ceptor which is basically this exact watch with steel case, acrylic crystal, and rubber strap. Same exact dial, functions, solar/multi 6, size and case shape. I can tell you without a doubt, these things are 100% water proof and built lime tanks. Ive put mine through every imaginable situation for over 9 years now. Its been my daily beater working construction anf been totally covered in just about every paint, solvent, concrete, drywall mud and even had epoxy splash all over it. I let it soak all day in paint thinner and cleaned it right up. I just recently retired it and cleaned it all up and looks like brand new again. Still perfect time amd charge is always on hi. Even when its been in a drawer for months. You would have a very hard time finding a better, more comfortable watch at any price point. The best thing about mine is, i got it from walmart for 20$ on clearance.

[@ryan-smith]

I bought this and its white dial version. I have no regrets. This line is called "Casio Lineage". I was also amazed how easy it is to adjust the links using that tiny plastic that pushes the pins and disintegrates the links. I wonder why Casio doesn't put that usability to the other Casio models.

[@davidashton2361]

Ryan, 'disintegrates'? 😂 Don't you mean 'disengages' , as in getting something dismantled. Disintegrates means to destroy. I have one of these casio watches with this system of removing or adding links. Fantastic! Sorry mate, I couldn't help it. Had to laugh!😊

It looks very good for £200, if you can only have one watch this is a good choice. But the case and hands look very primitive in the macro.

@@chrislee6650 You can see it if you look, can't you? Especially if you know that they're there. I've had a few watches where they have very minor imperfections, which I might not even notice if I didn't look closely, but since I found them, I can see them every time I look at the watch. And £200 isn't a massive bargain if you consider you can have a quad sensor Gravitymaster for around £220 if you shop around, and that's a carbon fibre watch with a high tech module w/ bluetooth.
