The Casio Oceanus OCW-S5000C-1AJF Wristwatch: The Full Nick Shabazz Review

Today, we're going to take a look at a beautiful, functional, and expensive watch from Casio, the Oceanus OCW-S5000C-1AJF.

At first I was like, that watch is awesome, it's a Casio so I could afford it. I'm totally getting that. Lemme Google it to see exactly...Then I heard "1800 dollars" emitting from my iPads speaker so I reluctantly put my g shock back on 🤦‍♂️

I like that unlike G-Shocks, it doesn't have to advertise every feature on the dial. No "Radio Controlled World Time Perpetual Calendar Bluetooth Sapphire Solar Quartz" stuff.

If your watch is pinching hairs on your wrist, it means you're not testing the sharpness of your knives often enough.

I purchased the S5000E after watching your sneak peak. I think the E model is has crazy value at $1265. Same functionality as the S model and I happen to prefer the aesthetics. I love your reviews so thank you. In this one I think you underplayed the BT function. The app is really great and the guide feature makes it much easier to understand all the complex functions. Also surprised you didn’t knock the integrated nature of the bracelet. Not a huge deal for me but I know you’ve knocked it before on the S100... which I also previously bought on your recommendation :) Thanks for introducing me to my first +$1000 watch. In the words of Ron Bergundy, boy that escalated quickly.

Nice review. As an owner of an S7000, a few things to note: The crown is relatively easy to pull out from the bottom while being worn if you have even a little thumb nail. If you wear the watch too tight this won’t be so easy.
Also, the little second hand spin when the stopwatch is started is purely cosmetic. The spin will always complete in 1 second or less, and the second hand will always tick over exactly one second after the start button is pressed.

The chronometer seems to start at one second, which may be the length of time it takes for the second hand to go around. 20:35.

The only watch reviewer on youtube who can fit an hours worth of info into a 30 minute video!!
Loved the review btw

Finally scored one. Thanks for the review, Nick! It's a GREAT piece. Hard to go back to mechanical watches now.

I completely understand your feelings on this watch! This is a watch you have to see in person. I was fortunate enough to see this model. I WANT ONE!

A beautiful and well crafted watch, tons of features, but it still looks elegant.

I just recently heard about Oceanus watches from the Casio website and then the S5000C from your video. I’ve tried to find the exact model as you have but a can’t find it anywhere, so I’ve settled on the S5000. After receiving it I can’t complain about the quality of the watch, but if I could tried it for the S5000C I most definitely would because that is in my opinion the BEST looking watch out there.

I think there is no lag when the stopwatch starts timing. The watch keeps track of when you pressed the button and ticks the second hand to :01 one second after that. That is, there is less than one second between when it comes around to :00 and then ticks to :01.

That is one of the most beautiful watches ever! If it weren’t approx 4 months of rent, and if I wasn’t taking your advice of not getting into watches this would be something I would really want.

Just got my S5000E yesterday and im in Love with her!

[dudNR]

@2:08 - can't stop reading it this way now
(and that's a beautiful thing)

[vudoodaddie]

I'll take this over any Swiss mechanical.

The watch has a lot of great functionality... not sure about the color but that’s subjective ... very nice review

A thought occurred to me. It’s possible we’re seeing the Oceanus line as a JDM product because of an agreement with Grand Seiko. The Oceanus line is advertised as using the same case polishing as GS. Casio probably contracted with GS to polish the cases, and made an agreement to keep them JDM as not to compete with the GS quartz line here in the US. The Oceanus line would be a big seller in the American market.

Nick, full props geeza! Geto boys fan eh. Who’d know😂😂

Bought a second hand S5000c on 2019 Dec, hard to find one when there's no stock at market, but luckily a gentlemen sold his treasure to me. It takes me 12500 yuan= 1785 dollar
