I bought this model this month (10/2024) directly from a Japanese seller for $100 on eBay. Production date July 1, 2024. It's a nice watch. Let's see how the case holds up. The dial is darker than the one in the video and looks similar (if not a shade lighter) to the first picture at 1:45.
I have the lcw-m100dse from the Lineage line which has a full stainless steel case and bracelet along with sapphire crystal. I like it so much I sold my Seiko sarb035✌🏽
I have two of these M630 in this "champagne" colour and swapped the watch bands for Bartons Canvas quick release 20mm in Pumpkin orange and the other in Khaki which really enhances the dial colour and is far more comfortable than the original strap. Another two Casios M630's I have are white face with gold roman numerals and swapped out the watch bands for Barton Canvas quick release 20mm in Chocolate Brown and the other in Crimson Red. These make the watches look stunning. Next, I also changed the watch bands in Royal Blue and Black to fit with black face and Navy face which highlights the difference between the dark colour of the the navy with the black. The Black straps also look really good with the white face models as well.
Hi Mr. Anderson. Do you own or ever reviewed any Ladies Casio Wave Ceptor watch. I am looking at the model LWA-M141D-4AJF for my wife and I couldn't find any reviews/description of this series of watches. I own a casio Lineage and I like it very much. I wonder if the ladies Wave Ceptor are as good as the mens version as they are physically a lot smaller.
Thank you for reviewing what is one of my favorite watches. I started off by getting a U.S. market black dial version of this watch with the stationary outside bezel, then got a JDM version of what you reviewed with the dark blue dial. I saw what I call the "champagne" dial version in your earlier review of all of your Casio watches with this module, when you showed an on-line photo of other color variants. This color is really dressy and classy. Reminds me of my Hamilton Khaki King with a champagne dial, but you are right about calling it more auto-body pearlescent.
Thank you very much for the setup and bracelet instructions. I find it much easier to do these while you're describing them. Your channel has increased my enjoyment of Casio's and provided great info and comparisons that have guided my purchases. I like all my Casio's but the Tough Solar and Multi-band models are my favorites. Thank you for all that you do for us and keep up the fine work, Sir.
Thank you for showing the watch. I am thinking about getting the one of these. You forgot to mention the lug width, lug to lug size, watch diameter and thickness 😋
Hi, Greg, I enjoyed your review. I've been looking at this watch for a few days now. Anyway, what's the model of the G-shocks at the far left and right corners of your box? Thanks.
Have you noticed that many of the applied indices are misaligned to the actual minute marks? It's not only very noticeable by eye at the 1,2,3 and 4 positions but also when the second hand misses the indices which is very unusual for Casio.
Greg, The manual way of searching for the Multi band 6 does not seem to work. I press and hold the bottom right button and the second hand does not go to the R and W. Is it because the location in the US is in Colorado and I am in North Jersey? Just wondering. The owners manual is only in Japanese if you buy it from Japan. The band adjustment is easy but it keep the full weight of the watch the US version at least you can remove the links for a small wrist.
Hi Greg, i have also a similar watch with Module 5161. Since yesterday I am not able to reach the main screen with the date. Do you have an idea how to fix this?
I just got this Japanese Casio Pearl Watch! Thanks for the review, without it I would have just gotten the US version. I saw a two tone Casio with no Waveceptor, and no second hand, cheaper. I like the Roman numeral version too, but am not going to buy everyone I see. :-) I used to get all types of Casio's. My first one was in college $35 from Macy's. 2. Solar 5 alarm in 1984. 3. Phone dialer 1989. 4 TV remote. 5: Databank Recorder/calculator 2000. My other Watch addiction are Swatches, Quartz(battery replacement for life) and Automates Sistem 51.
It does seem that it would be easy to change the strap on this. But I haven’t tried. It’s holding up very well. I don’t wear it very often because I have so many watches now. But I do wear it sometimes, since I try to rotate the collection.
Hey Greg, I enjoy your reviews. I'm partial to Casio watches myself. Just wondering, how often do you rotate through your collection wearing each one or do you do that? Thanks!
Hi great review I have a WVA M630 and if you hold all 3 buttons down there is a 0 on the lcd display what does that mean also how can you turn on P'S mode? thanks
I might be the only person who uses the word “pearl” to describe this watch. I found this through eBay and the seller sent it from Japan. You should be able to search for the model WVA-M630D-9 and find it on eBay, at least.
Sometimes she says, “Don’t buy that watch now. We’ll get it for Christmas (or a birthday or Fathers Day).” Or I’ll buy the watch but I have to give it to her... and wait.
@@GoodTimekeeper My wife started to collect watches herself. In 2 month's she bought a Braun and 2 Tissot watches. (For the record I only bought 1 watch in the 5 month's. (A G Shock DMW B5000. The steel square.)
I bought the blue face one almost 10 years ago. Crystal never scratched... running on the same battey... so... these japan 630s are good wave ceptors as far as im concerned. Personally i think they look better than the 640... since they dont have that unnecessary non functional, minute diver ring. though i imagine the metal band is better on the 640, since it has links and doesn't just fold the extra length under itself.
Just cant figure it out, date on both watches both casio 5161everything is set perfect but the day and date are showing 12 hours late, shows the correct but @ 12 noon only .can you help with a comment
@@GoodTimekeeper Thank you sir. I appreciate your response. No one knows Casio's like you. I mean that sincerely. Because of you, I was able to access the "secret menu" for one of my Casio's...lol. Thanks again and God bless.

Thanks Greg, always a pleasure! These Casio's are a lot more expensive in the EU by the way.
What year was this model released ?

Hello Greg.. I am new here and i am interested to know how you get from Casio company the watches..CONGRATULATINS for the videos..i like it..Thanks
Hello, does the entire case is made of stainless steel?
That pretty nice actually, thanks... 👍👍

I would say it's more of a champagne coloured dial. Great looking watch.
looks cool indeed w/ that pearlescent vibe. are the straps easy to change? how is it holding-up nowadays?

@@GoodTimekeeper so the lugs aren't proprietary? i can put a nato on it?

The lineage series begins with the LCW-M100.

I just bought one of these today.
I can not find any store to buy exact colour (pearl) of the watch. (Toronto, Canada)

Nice! Does your wife say "Honey, did you just buy another watch?" Cheers!

Is this watch still a value today at $120?
I'm trying to decide between this and the WVA-M630D-7AJF
I have purchased this watch and I absolutely love it!

Cool man.
Hi gregg. Do any of these multiband Casio watches have auto light -- when you raise your wrist?
I have a bunch of multiband G-Shock watches with the auto light function but these Waveceptor watches don't.
@@GoodTimekeeper Thank you sir. I appreciate your response. No one knows Casio's like you. I mean that sincerely. Because of you, I was able to access the "secret menu" for one of my Casio's...lol.
Thanks again and God bless.
Secret menu?!
この時計は時刻が見やすくソーラー電波なので気に入ってたのですが、５年くらいで時計の針が動かなくなりデジタルだけが正常な状態になりました。気に入っていたので全く同じ物を8000円くらいで買い直しました。故障発生率が低ければ一生使いたいのですが、定期的に買い直す必要がありそうです。
My oldest analog Wave Ceptor watch was purchased in 2012 and it is still working. I will let you know if any one of my watches has any problems.
You bought another watch? I am shocked, shocked.
"9AJF" I see what you mean about the pictures. Sort of looks tan and very different from how it looks in your video.
