This JDM Casio Is Amazing.... But What Colour Actually Is It?

Mar 19, 2022

Just One More Watch

I love Casio. There, I said it. You know that already. This is my second Oceanus and despite the cost, I think they are amazing. Really well finished and super versatile if you don't want to do a smart watch. But they need to sort out their colour pallate. This one looks amazing from some angles, and a muddy mess from others. And it isn't green, is it? Cheers, Jody

What Does the Casio Oceanus OCW-T3000-2AJF Look Like in Real Life? Casio Oceanus Blue IRL

Mar 30, 2022

Horology in Sanity

What is up, my watch friends?!? So, check this out… many of us often wonder what a watch looks like in real life, under different lighting conditions, because they often do not look like the renders or stock website images. So, I took a few short videos and photos of my friend’s Casio Oceanus OCW-T3000-2AJF in real life and in real light to share with you.

I love this stunning blue watch and hope you enjoy seeing how this dial changes in indoor lighting and outside on a sunny day!

Keep the insanity sane!

Am I Crazy For Buying This? Casio Oceanus Manta S5000 Review​

Relative Time
Jul 11, 2023

Today is a special one. I got a lot to say in this video, so just bear with me. As I'm finally getting around to reviewing the Casio Oceanus S5000 I got months ago. This watch has amazed me in a way few others have. As it combines the convenience of a complicated quartz movement, with a fit and finish even a watch snob could appreciate. It really is the best of both worlds!

Even though Oceanus watches are now available outside of Japan, getting one on eBay through a Japanese seller is still a good way.

From OCEANUS Manta, comes the OCWS5000EK1A that is styled with high-quality finish in designed in a thin and beautiful form. With "Elegance, Technology" as the brand concept, the beautiful sapphire crystal bezels are individually hand-finished by Edo-Kiriko craftsman, Toru Horiguchi.

Edo-Kirko is the traditional Japanese art of glass craft that emerged in the late Edo period. The Edo-Kiriko sapphire crystal bezel is based on the design concept of "There's a Certain Sliding Light". The bezels are cut to express the beauty of light created by the delicate Japanese pattern "Senji". Blue-black gradation vapor deposition is applied to achieve this remarkable gradation.
The 9.5 mm slim case highlights the thin and beautiful silhouette that only Manta can offer. In addition to time correction by the watch itself using Multi-Band 6 radio wave reception function, the watch is also equipped with a time correction function using a smartphone link via Bluetooth®. The watch can easily adjust to world time from approximately 300 cities and automatically change the time zone and daylight saving time.

OCEANUS pursues high quality finishing down to the smallest detail, including dual-curved sapphire glass, and a titanium case and band that boast high wear resistance through titanium carbide treatment.

Unboxing & Review: Casio Oceanus OCW-S6000-1AJF "Do It All" Watch​

Aug 19, 2024

I have reviewed Casio Oceanus watches before, but this one I'll be keeping for a good while. It's simpler, more readable, and just flat out better looking than any other Oceanus I've ever played with or owned. This for me might just be the best grab-and-go watch I've ever owned. Please enjoy......
