★★★★☆ Nice watch
Post date : Saturday, Mar 11 2023
Light, accurate, tough and aesthetically pleasing. I previously owned a casion waveceptor which I wore everyday for 13 years. Finally wanted a change and found Discovery Japan. You can't get these watches in the UK but the reviews for those who love them speak for themselves. I expect to have this for a long time. Looks great and easy to time shift. Great for me. Good value too.

★★★★★ 'Stealth' quartz watch, good fit and finish
Post date : Monday, Jan 17 2022
Great watch, containing (for me) the bare necessities for time keeping. Looking at it you would maybe not expect it contains solar cells, and that it keeps itself synchronized via radio.
The hands are classically styled, which I like better than the design of the hands of most other watches from Casio.
The fit and finish is surprisingly good, and the visibility of the dial is good.
Changing the bracelet size took some work though (it was fun doing it, making me feel like a watch maker :) )

★★★★★ This is a fine watch
Post date : Thursday, Oct 3 2019
This watch is certainly a five star plus product. The accolades mentioned by the other purchasers certainly ring true. Oh yes, the watch face is quite intriguing the way it is designed. There are tiny blue cut crystals directly under the metal/luminous indices. Viewed directly from above they are not noticeable. Depending on the viewing angle due to the refraction of light through the sapphire some of these blue gems can be discreetly seen. The radio 'time check'feature works well for me being located in New Orleans, Louisiana. All said and done I am delighted with this watch.

★★★★★ The Perfect Watch
Post date : Monday, Aug 26 2019
This is a beautiful and accurate watch. Received my from Japan in 6 days even though the shipping estimate was 1 1/2 to 2 months. The instruction book is well written and easy to understand and setting the watch up only takes a few minutes. I have already received compliments on how stunning this watch looks. I highly recommend this watch to someone who wants accuracy and beauty in a wrist watch,

★★★★★ Great grab and go quartz.
Post date : Monday, Jun 17 2019
Great simple 3 hander watch that has atomic feature. Just want to clarify the size. The 41.5mm diameter includes the crown. It is 39-40mm without and will fit smaller wrist size (even sub 6") due to the short lug to lug length. The blue accents are a nice touch, including the blue ring above the chapter ring. It feels very sturdy, although light due to the titanium. The crown is a push, not screw down. Integrated bracelet/case design so a normal strap won't fit without cutting the center out. The lume is blueish and fairly bright. The bracelet comes with 2 half links and the clasp has 2 spots for attaching the bracelet to (this is the micro adjustment). The links are secured with a roll and pin (the roll falls out easily when the pin isn't it in so be careful when sizing). I believe the links are solid (not hollow center). The clasp is a single deployant with dual push buttons. The radio sync doesn't know your timezone, so you need to set it to the correct timezone. The second hand looks on point for each mark, better than some quartz double this price range. There is a button at 2 o'clock that does not protrude pass the case and would not be needed for normal operations. It's for lining up the hands, date, changing to special time zones, turn on and off radio sync, etc etc). The button on the 4 o'clock is for manual sync and to check to see if see if it successfully synced last time. It is less than 10mm thick so will fit under any cuff without issues. This watch is perfect for traveling since all you have to do is pull the crown out and move it to the new timezone you're in. Even if you are unable to sync to the correct time for a month, it will probably still be correct to the minute.

★★★★★ Wearable art; bracelet adjustment isn't easy
Post date : Tuesday, May 28 2019
Arrived from Japan in a week, considerably faster than the estimate. It tells time beautifully, elegantly, simply. The Oceanus is wearable art. One caveat: resizing the bracelet is not a trivial task, and I'm not sure that I'd entrust that to the corner jewelry shop. I was able to accomplish it in about 90 minutes using materials I found online--search for "Oceanus Bracelet adjustment reddit".

★★★★★ Nicer than a Mavado and it's always on time!
Post date : Tuesday, May 7 2019
I had a Mavado and for half the price this watch is worth more then the Mavado! Looks great and a lot of compliments on it. They can't believe it's a Casio. Hope to never have to buy another watch again!

★★★★★ Never have to worry if the time is correct.
Post date : Tuesday, Apr 30 2019
All in all, the watch performs and is exactly as advertised. I do believe it's a "bit" overpriced compared to similar brands with like functions. The watch arrived within ten days of its order (Japan to USA) The blue illuminating coatings on the five minute mark locations is a little too reflective in daylight hours and somewhat "cheapens" the watches appearance/quality. I'm afraid to ask what the cost of a replacement battery will "run" when this one dies. Only time will tell!
