I have 60 + watches in my collection. The t200 is best of all. Simple, easy to read day or night. Perfect time all the time. Initial setting made 3 years, I have not touched it since. Your review of the t200 is spot on!
Nice to meet another true fan of the T200. I get surprised looks from other Collectors who know me as a watch enthusiast when they see me wearing it. Then I tell them it's my favourite watch and they're shocked. I have had some very impressive watches in my collection. You will see a couple coming up on the channel. So they just don't get it. Unless you've owned a T200 you just don't understand.
I loved your video, everything you said is what I enjoy and love about my T200. It's the best watch in my collection in its functionality yet not the most expensive. Everytime I look at my wrist I'm mesmerized by the looks of this watch, it's gorgeous from every angle. Love it, love it, love it!
@@mujahidsolomons8766 It looks like everyone who owns one absolutely loves it. Very few watches shine like a T200. I only have one watch that has as impressive a polished case as the T200, and it costs 6 times as much.
Great review and amazing watch. I wear it daily, and the only downside is that it’s difficult for me to pickup any other timepiece. The accuracy, the deep look, the polishing, the tech - all of it makes a perfect watch. Casio really made a gem with this one.
I just purchased this watch from a JPM dealer on eBay for $320. What an absolute gem for that price. Finishing is fantastic, gorgeous blue dial, and incredibly accurate. Hell of a watch for the money 💴
@@johncurtis6815 It truly can't be beat. It will quickly become your watch for all occasions unless you have a luxury piece you save for special circumstances.
@@WhyWeBuyItamen my friend. Thank you for your review and validating my purchase 😂. It truly is a fantastic watch. As much as I enjoy automatics, when someone asks me the time I can only ever say “it’s about…xyz time.” With the Oceanus, it’s dead on accurate. THIS IS THE TIME…Thanks again.
The anti-quartz mentality is unfounded. Like it or not, quartz technology represents the pinnacle of wrist watch technology. Horology, the science and study of time measurement, places a premium on accuracy. From a purely horological perspective, the great quartz watches are the epitome of wristwatch technology. A quartz watch with solar power and atomic clock synchronization showcases some the best of what we can achieve today, far surpassing the capabilities of a simple mechanical watch.
My wife bought me a Citizen Stiletto solar quartz coming up on 18 years ago and still going strong, I do expect the capacitor to fail sometime in the near future but its a testament to the this genre of watch!
@@WhyWeBuyIt Yes sir, I have a Citizen Garrison solar quartz going on 4 years, another fine example of Japanese technology! Ty for the reply, much appreciated.
@@normanhunter7 Thanks for watching. We really want to grow this channel into something special. Involving the community and including their experiences is an important part of that.
Love this watch. Mine has never been in the watch box. It's either on wrist or at the ready on the bedside table. The finishing of the case...Incredible! I'm neurotic when it comes to "perfect" hand alignment and accuracy and the T200 has it. I love a quality vintage mechanical as well but they rarely see regular use since the T200 arrived. Nice review. Hello from Quebec.
I have one of these, in the grey-dial color. Limited edition or something. I like it pretty well, except that the legibility at night is very very poor. I would have liked to see them make these with (i) a black face, (ii) some sort of backlight, and (iii) no separate "connect" button but rather just have the crown be press-in-able. NB I used to own a Grand Seiko and while the Casio may have Zaratsu polishing, and it's good, it's not _nearly_ as good as the Grand Seiko. Let's not kid ourselves. The craftsmanship on a GS has to be seen to be believed. At any rate, the Bluetooth function on the Casio is hugely useful, as it automatically corrects for DST/ time zones/ you name it. It will continuously sync up with the time and date on your phone with zero drama.
It would be excellent if the Crown doubled as the function button. That may have resulted in a more expensive watch though. The T200 just doesn't have enough in the way of polished surfaces to truly stand out among GS models. The higher end and limited edition Oceanus models do measure up though. They just aren't as appealing to me and as the price goes up there are other watches (automatics specifically) that I would buy first. The T200 in my opinion has just enough bling to really have no equal at it's price point. I appreciate you taking the time to comment, and hopefully you enjoyed the video.
@@unpaidvolunteerassistantcoach Although some of the models are a bit too busy for me. I haven't seen an Oceanus watch that wasn't absolutely stunning. Thanks for watching!
Ah, a true watch nerd’s watch! I love the t200. It’s been confirmed that Casio contracts Grand Seiko to make the beautiful cases for the Oceanus & MR-G lines. No wonder, it shows (a bit of that Zaratsu polishing)! Legendary and underrated watches imo.
@@TakeTimeToTravel OK, too bad. We will miss each other. We'll have to compare notes when we get back. I've been to Sweden many times but it will be Amy's first time there.
My wife bought me one for Christmas with a white face. I love the blue face on yours. I am going to eBay right now to see if I can find it. Your video is exactly right about this watch. I have never heard anyone complain that their phone had the wrong time. Mine is Bluetooth linked to my phone. If I get another one, it will be linked to the Bureau of Standards time.
I’m close to pulling the trigger on this watch. It checks a whole lot of boxes. I’ve got several mechanicals, but want a nice grab and go that is accurate and well made, that I don’t have to adjust.
@@barryscott990 You won't be disappointed. I don't know what's in your collection but it's unlikely that you'll feel like the finish of this watch is lacking. There are a few different colours available but the dark blue is the most versatile by far.
@@JRMcGrail You know it changes enough that it actually makes sense to do it. Generally I'm not a big fan of those videos because the majority of people who do them get the vast majority of their watches for free. It kinda diminishes the value and importance of each piece to me. Thanks for the suggestion. I honestly wouldn't have considered it otherwise.
I have never considered a Casio. This review has me very curious though. It is a little bigger than i would normally wear but i am assuming that it is possible to find one in a watch store to try on? I have no problem with quartz if there is a functional reason for it. I do spend extended times in the wilderness and always wear quart. Waterproof quartz. No automatics. The next time i am in a city i will try to find a T200 to test the fit. It might be just what i need. Battery and solar and connectivity? Interesting.
The T200 is a JDM release so it might be difficult to find one to try on depending where you are. Casio Oceanus has authorized dealers in Canada and the United States now. You can see some of their models if that works. I've found that even though the T200 and S100 are JDM models the salespeople at Oceanus dealers tend to own them personally. Hope that helps.
That is the very watch I mentioned in your GMT Wise review except I have the grey dial version ... very nice under rated watch !!! 👌👌 Also I put an Bas and Lokes "Turnbull" Purple Leather strap with blue stitching on it ,Looks great to me anyway...It's not an overbearing bright purple...
@@stevenwilliams176 If you could only have one watch. That should be at the top of your list really. All the functionality in a very clean design with enough Water Resistance to use anywhere except deep water diving. Plus versatile enough to wear with any outfit.
@stevenwilliams176 0 second Actually it would be a toss up between my white dial Longines VHP or my grey dial Tag Heuer 3 hand date only with grey dial...but both get adjusted occasionally with the Casio 😄
@stevenwilliams176 39mm is the sweet spot for me for a dress piece. I can go bigger with anything that has a sizable bezel, and smaller if it's a full face design.
