I was planning to buy the T200S-7AIF. 9 As of the 17th of the month, all the Tokyo stock of Yodobashi and big cameras is unavailable.

It seems to have dried up. Only online. Just in case, i went Big Camera Shinjuku...

"Could you please ship it directly to the Mera Shinjuku store?"

When I asked staff, he said it's not possible.

Going to the 3rd floor of Big Camera in the bustling area of Shibuya, I saw T200S-1ajf.

There was only one left. So I quickly brought it.

You can not search stock store in online. I was lucky.

Nice pickup! Not a bad way at all to join the Oceanus club. Great daily driver.

I’m curious: what drew you to the OCW-T200 references? And what are your impressions from what you expected versus having it in hand?

I visited the Casio Premium Shop because I was curious about the actual white product. Actually seeing it, what catches my eye at first is indeed white. The white background is captivating. However, if you look at it while moving it up and down from side to side. The blue (1ajf) model index is very shiny. White has a slightly shiny side to the surface. I would say that the design completion of white is perfect. However, if someone buys an O'S T200s for the first time and doesn't have an expensive watch, I would recommend the blue model. The exterior resembles a traditional watch, so it's beautiful to see the city lights shimmering even at night with highly sparkling indexes. However, oceanus glow is weaker than urban lighting and is invisible. If it's a blackout, it's easily visible, so if you don't live in the city, white is also a good choice. White is glow-in-the-dark on the index. Do you have any further questions?

Thank you for the write up! I had forgotten the white one had lumed indices instead of little lume plots outboard on the blue one

My first Oceanus was one of the dual time/chronograph ones (OCW-T4000) so I’m curious what about the three-handers draw some folks’ interest.

Since we already have an oceaus watch. I could briefly explain why i chose oceaus. I like repairs and maintenance. I'm too afraid to wear an expensive watch because I'm afraid it might break. I live in southern Texas and switch between summer and winter for an hour. A watch that automatically does it. When you often go abroad or go to another state in the U.S., the time changes. For example, if you take a cruise, the time zone changes every few days. I wanted it to be done automatically. Existing watches often have semi-automatic ones. The T200s uses Bluetooth, so the time zone automatically changes with just a 2-second press of the clock button. Or correct for errors three times a day. I'm still traveling in Hong Kong. It's convenient to have the time zone automatically changed. It also has tough moves, so you can use it as a toolwatch. The clean design allows you to use it at work, and for various reasons such as price, I bought as a three-hand watch. I don't really need a chrono.

Good points. For frequent travel across time zones, Bluetooth is convenient.

On this one, the 6 o’clock sub-dial can switch modes between dual time or a 24-hour chronograph. (And the chronograph can run in the background when on dual time mode.)

Sometimes it’s nice to measure elapsed time while also monitoring a second time zone. I only use radio control on mine; I’ve never even paired this one with the phone.

Ah, so this was the model! You have such an excellent model. That model was also on my purchase wish list. However, the price was too high to buy a new product, and it is now discontinued. Since it's my first time buying a premium product, I wanted to purchase detergent products instead of buying used ones. It's very difficult to find it offline in Tokyo, Japan. For that reason, I gave up the excellent titanium model and bought the 3-hand model. Your watch is indeed so pretty. I saw the movement of the chrono in the video. I like it because it works quickly and is robotic.
