This JDM Legend Is Now Available To Everyone! 

I own the Casio Lineage LCW-M100TSE-1AJF and it is SERIOUSLY amazing. (12:48) Multiband, Sapphire, Titanium, all the same awesome functionality with a much cleaner look in my opinion. AND one of the absolute coolest link removal systems ever. Ben's Watch Club did a video on this one and it's awesome.

I can’t stop looking at the seconds hand hitting all the marks and aligning perfectly with the vertical and horizontal white lines, so satisfying! Very practical watch.

This is definitely a handsome looking timepiece and that start up from the light was so cool. Great review as always Jody.

I went for the white dial with “full” Arabics ( there’s two and a half numbers missing at the bottom of the dial where the digital screen is) and I love it. A great look and a truly competent every day watch.

If the Lineage is a bit too pricey, check out the Casio "Wave Ceptor" (without the "Lineage") line. MultiBand 6 goodness with that super-precise, robotic second hand but less build quality. (EDIT - and Jody hit those notes, too!)

Got the one with positive display from my wife for wedding anniversary. Full titanium. Amazing.

#2 and a G-shock square have been what I've worn 90% of the time for two years now. Lineage is such a good line from Casio. Glad you're giving them some love

I have a casio lineage (the one featuerd at 12:57 ) and its just so good. Titanium so its super light and comfortable, plus i think it looks great too

Love your content -- and the watch!

I think that the Lineage might be the most practical all around every day watch you can buy at any price.

I've got a Lineage with that same module, but I went for the all titanium version with Arabic numerals, model LCW-M100TSE-1AJF ... it's light as a feather. I really like it.

I started with the Wave Ceptor (one with an integrated bracelet) and moved up to the Lineage and have it in my rotation with my Pagani's. I like that the Oceanus is not ani-digi, but they are a bit too pricey for me.

I love Casio Ana-Digis. I own another iteration of this watch, the Waveceptor WVA-M630, which is more of a field style casual watch with full Arabic numerals on a black face. It is supplied on a nylon/leather band which I have traded for a pair of Barton bands in both black canvas and silicone. Between this and my G-Shock GAB-2100, they are my go-to everyday wear watches, both packed with features and dead-on accurate thanks to the radio control and Bluetooth connectivity respectively. I've also had my eye on the second of the Lineage versions you've shown (with Titanium case and bracelet), though this one is quite a looker! Nice job highlighting this module, Jody! I'd highly recommend it to anyone who wants an everyday watch they can always count on!

Looks incredible and I love the reset in the light function. My Seiko Astron does the same but costs about 10x as much haha.

I personally don’t need the negative digital display so the cheaper Lineage for me. Also, very much appreciate the second hand hitting the markers. Thanks as always!

I bought the Lineage black/anthracite dial, negative display model from Amazon UK in 2021 (it doesn't have arabics at 12 and 6), it's my favourite watch, hits every index on the way round and doesn't noticably gain or loose a second over the course of a day regardless of the waveceptor function. The bracelet feels cheap when you fiddle with it although I've felt much worse but it is really comfortable, it feels like Casio have engineered it to be as comfotable as possible while spending as little as they can get away with. If you must have a 40mm watch though, avoid the cheaper titanium postive display version mentioned, it's only 40mm because of the protruding areas at 3 and 9 and looks and feels more like a 38mm and a small 38mm at that. Luckily I bought it from Amazon and was able to return it and get the much better wearing true 40mm, anthracite dial version reviewed LCW-M170D-1AER. I'm over the whole automatic movement thing and after owning this Casio for 2 years now, If every watch I owned was solar and radio controlled I'd be a much happy bunny. Also, because of the overall look and anthracite dial I much prefer it to the Oceanus.

I own the titanium/white-dial/baton-hour-markers version. I use it as my travel watch, with its dual-time function. Love it.

Beautiful how that seconds hand nails each of the sector lines.

Great Review…thanks for the fun! There is another alternative to this watch which I think is better and cheaper in the Casio Lineage line up. That is the Lineage LIW-M700D-1AJF. It has all analog functions including Day/Date as well as all the features of this reviewed model. JDM, Solar powered, sapphire crystal, atomic timekeeping, 3 inner dials, GMT dial, stopwatch and apparently all for less. $217 as of September 2023. The LIW-700D really hits some high notes.

Still looking at the Oceanos… Top of my list actually… Seen this one sort of makes up my mind… Thanks, Jodi

I've had a couple of Lineage Casio watches that have this module for some years now. I have a black stainless version with baton hour markers all round with negative LCD and a titanium version with a silver dial and positive LCD. Both bracelets get a B+ but for what you get are more than OK. My black one has had a hiccup a few times with the second hand alignment with the LCD after a year or two but the manual describes how to adjust it. It's been fine for the last few years though so not sure exactly what occurred, (not dropped or anything) my titanium one has been perfect. As I said I've had mine I think for for around 4 or 5 years and the are still ticking away fine and receiving the atomic clock signal here in the UK.

Jody, I own the LCW - M100DSE. It was my very first watch which I bought back in 2019 starting me on my wach collecting journey. It has the same module as the one you reviewed but mine is with a positive display making it much easier to read. Lume on my unit is great though, truely an all-nighter, I'm not even kidding . 100% agree with you on the bracelet and slasp, utter garbidge this one... Been wearing mine on a few AliExpress cheep leathers and they are much superior to the original.

Arrived last Wednesday by FedEx is my Casio Lineage LIW-M700D solar and radio wave chronograph watch. Awesome piece, a tactile beauty and very attractive so the ladies say 👍

its funny, i went trough a Japanese reseller to get a lineage a few weeks ago. I could have waited. It's easily my favorite watch right now, and since I need gmt time, countdown timer, etc. its extremely useful

There are apps that mimic the radio signal for your phone and you can use that to set the right time in Australia.

For those who do not need the display, check out the Seiko JDM SBTM3XX models. Also have Multiband Radio reception, Solar, Perpetual Calendar, Saphire, Needle Position Control (hits the markers) and 100 m. WR. Great grab and go watch. Regards

I'd go for the titanium version with batons, not Arabics at 6 & 12, which for some reason is even cheaper despite having the same specs as far as I can tell. And thanks for celebrating my LS's bullet proof engine with the T!!

had a field watch varient of the same module works like a charm amazing field watch, the best in this module is not its a analog-digi but digital display much bigger than many other analog-digi even from casios.

I own the LCW-M100TSE-1AJF. This watch has become my No.1 daily watch for 2 years running. Shockingly, the legibility in low light conditions is as good as my dive watch. It' the combination of the white color lume and shine of the metal baton indices which make it very readable. It does not glow as bright as a diver but is equally readable. The large digital screen is also a breeze to read. The watch is so light I've feel asleep wearing and not noticed it there. It's really got all the functions you ever need. Fantastic daily. Hated the look initially but the functionality won me over.

I have a sister/cousin to this model, the CASIO LINEAGE LCW-M100DE-7AJF White Silver, same 5161 as well. It's a nice watch and I wear it a lot.

I love any and everything Casio!!!

I live in "most of mainland Europe", I own a Casio Lineage (model: LIW-M700D-1AJF), and I am very happy.

Didn’t know you were a Toyota guy. Had a Land Cruiser with a 2uz back in the day. She was a pig on gas but one hell of a tank. Respect 😎

Lovely! #1 is the prettiest for me!

ben from ben's watch club is a big fan of the lineage models... i actually just ordered my first oceanus recently... it should be here any day now! really looking forward to seeing the watch you're going to unveil for your first offering! almost time! thinks jody! cheers!

I've got the titanium Lineage with the arabic numerals and IMO it's the ultimate travel watch. I put it on a slick nato and it's so lightweight that it just dissapeaers on my wrist.

That second hand hitting the markers😍😍

excellent review! I'm leaning towards the titanium version LCW-M100-TSE-1AJF that Ben, Random Rob and others really like. Also really like the CITIZEN ECO-DRIVE CB1120-50E. Tough decisions...

Another good t-shirt, as much a part of these videos as the watch reviews themselves. Had to Google that particular engine as not a familiar code. Mostly used in Lexus models according to Wiki.

I have this watch and it is sweet. However mine has a positive LCD display making it easy to see. It also has a different bracelet. Mine is not pin and collar but sort of quick release links that use an adaptive tool which is included .

I just ordered the less expensive Wave Ceptor WVA-M640D-1ACR... thanks Jody!

I own number 2 and 4 from about 6 months and very happy .. good watches

Love your stuff. Very informative and I love that your channel is not pretentious and snobby. Keep it up :)

I have the titanium version of the lineage with the normal lcd. It's probably the watch I wear the most after my steel dive 1933. I think they make a version of this watch with 10 bar water resist. It's a great daily of you don't plan to swim in it.

Looking at my 20 or so watches, THE easiest one to read for my old eyes is a dirt cheap white faced el-cheapo with black hands! So, looking at the solar and automatic options available, I kept coming back to the Casio WVA-M630, a JDM model. With 50 meters not as water-proof as the 100 meter M640, but a bit smaller, and no faked, non-rotary bezel, which I do not like on a watch! I stumbled over a white faced version of it, WVA-M630D-7AJF, and now have one on the way as a 2 day delivery from a domestic Amazon warehouse!

I have the white dial oceanus t200 and it is definitely worth the money. My only complaint is the clasp, because I know they have a good one on other watches at a similar price, but I was lucky and got an excellent fit.

Always LOVE Casio analog ticks.....

Pressed clasp is one thing, the hollow end links quite another. Surprised it wasn't mentioned, although self-evident during the case back section.

Jodyyy.. you have to check out the lineage LIW M700D 1AJF...its a killerr. It is fully analog with all the features you mentioned (only 1 alarm..not 5) with 100m water resistance to boot. Also has a day and date indicator and a 24 hr dial too.

I have a Casio Lineage LCW-M300 with a 5110 module which shares quite a few features with this model, but I'd recommend anyone considering the above to look at this option as well. The looks of the analogue portion are a bit less developed, and it lacks the numerals at 12 and 6 and the blue chapter ring. Plus, it certainly has a busy dial, with the laundry list of features written on both the case back and the front. However, it has two digital windows and an indicator subdial to show you which mode you're in, which turns out to be very practical and usable. With four pushers, using the various digital features is very straightforward, but the analogue portion is also good-looking and functional. Price is also competitive.

Thanks for the video but now I am very interested in 170TD, especially what looks like white dial but after further investigation prefer 100tse

Great shirt my man. 3uzfe! Greatest engine ever made. Recently purchased an 05 Lexus LS430 and can attest to that. Thanks for the jdm reviews!

Decent looking watch, very good specs.

my old poseidon analog digital looks similar3 pushers but it has a crown and its black dial gold pinpoint indices, its a beautiful old pnm 577

The casio lineage has some cool models.

If I could afford it, I'd definitely go for an Oceanus. I love and have many Casios and an Oceanus would have to be one of my grail watches👍

Thanks for a great review! I probably think that "number one", the blue one looks nicest. But I can imagine that negative digital display is difficult to read. Another downside (if I understood correctly) is that the clock goes to "zero mode" at night and it takes a while for it to return to the correct time.

I had one of these for a couple of months back in 2019 and it was probably the best value watch I've ever owned, an absolutely terrific allrounder. I ultimately flipped it because I just got bored with the very utilitarian design rather quickly, and also because, even at a modest 39,5 mm, it was just too big for my teensy tiny wrist. (After that experience, I resolved to never buy a watch again that was above 38 mm, my "sweet spot" is actually somewhere between 34 and 36 mm.)

I've had a LCW-M100TSE-1AER version of it (titanium, dark brown-burgundy dial with non-inverted LCD) for about 2 years now and while I haven't been wearing it in the past few months (the 'small' Lunar Pilot is the latest king-of-the-wrist) it probably had the most wrist time of all my watches. The only two niggles I have with it is the asymmetrical LCD window (much more noticeable on a non-inverted LCD) and the measly yellow LED light, otherwise it's an awesome watch. Ok, one more, the titanium finish is super-easy to scratch, should've sacrificed the lightness for durability...

I think Ben reviewed this a while ago, and I bought it on his recommendation. It's a daily for sure.

I've had this watch for a couple of years and it's as close to the perfect watch for me that I've ever owned or seen. Exceptional features, function, materials, aesthetics, and value. Light weight in titanium, and except for Junghans at a MUCH higher price the thinnest solar atomic watch available. Just unbeatable.

I've got a slightly older Wave Ceptor with a brown dial and the digital display. It's a great watch, but your right about the bracelet, it's terrible.

Absolutely fantastic

An Aliexpress 18mm milled clasp will solve the naff clasp. I have four Lineage models, direct from Japan & I love them. Totally recommended. I've been nagging Jody to review one 😊😊

I will start to save for this lineage. I want an atomic Casio watch, but most of them are too big for me. This model allows for strap changes, unlike the Oceanus you reminded us of. Finally, i absolutely hate the positive display on other lineage models. This is the watch i have been waiting for. Thank you!

If you live in the northern hemisphere, just go ahead and buy this watch when it becomes available to you . I've got an older Casio Wave Cepter (field watch with the ears) with the same 5161 module. It has everything I need and nothing I don't. I was never a quartz fan but the atomic timekeeping function changed my mind. My next analog quartz watch will have passive GPS reception, as soon as I can find one that isn't over the top ugly, several thousand U$D, or both.

props to the shirt btw! truly a JDM video 😆

Oh man, another awesome shirt!!!! What an engine. 😊

Dayumn. That second hand is laser accurate on the markers.

Was not prepared for the awesome 3UZ shirt! I had to recollect myself before continuing the video. I had a 3UR from the following generation and we were not separated by choice.

Nice looking watch. I could forgive the bracelet. Will also look good on a dark blue leather strap. Look at the seconds hand hitting every marker. Why couldn't my Tissot PRX not even hit one?

JDM watches are really cool - it's also nice to wear something with the script "made in Japan" btw, i didn't know You were into toyota v8s, Jody

Like you and Marc i have the Bluetooth yellow Casio, i notice it is begining to turn black at the corners though

If i had the misfortune of having to work in an office, this could be the one. Solar+multi band 6 is perfect for me. Cheers 🍻

There's a few phone apps that imitate a multiband 6 signal in theory you could set the time in say Japan and advance the hour..

I really like solar, I really like the atomic clock interface, I like Casio. Throw a vintage leather strap on this and I think it would be nice.

Ah yes ... the mighty Toyota V8. One of the world's best designs! Oh ... and thanks for bringing those Casio's to our attention. 👍

Does this watches radio work in Australia? looks great, love the blue dial

That's a beauty. It's been said before but I'll say it again, Casio are God tier.

I have a similar AMW870 with a 5574 module and for the price it is an outstanding watch. Casio really are the premier watch brand at the moment I believe because it's not about their name.

Would be interested in seeing some of the Citizen JDM mid-range Attesa models, if your man there has some. There's some tidy little gems in amongst the usual Citizen over the top stuff - the CB0210-54L looks pretty good in Super Titanium (look for some vids, the Citizen press photos are the crap renders). Edit: Classic, classic Citizen - just noticed they've randomly released the IP coated version of the above in the UK... The only one mind, because we can't have nice things. Same with the Series 8 - only imported the ugly colourways

I own the LCW-M170TD-7AJF, quite a feeling of cheapy due to the Titanium material, but a damn good watch !

I have the titanium version with standard digi as shown second from the left towards the end of the video. Very light, 78g on my girly wrist. Lume is poor but I am coming from a SKX007! The light is yellow, perhaps an attempt to look like an early digital watch light. As Jody mentioned the bracelet has poor adjustability. Also the alarm is so quiet as to be useless.

This watch is ridiculously good: It has all the practical features of a G-Shock, but it looks a lot more versatile.

Would've loved some outdoor shots.

The Oceanus is in a completely different league when it comes to finishing and overall quality. Worth paying the extra if you want a quality timepiece on your wrist. For an everyday beater watch, any of the models will be just fine although 100 metres of water resistance is the minimum I would personally accept in any watch.

Jody is DEEP in the Casio rabbit hole.

Sweet shirt the new 86 engine code. awesome are you a fan of initial D anime?

Hi is it possible to get the digital display to show UTC all the time??

The Digi screen is a bit dark and the reflection off the dial adds to that challenge

I would avoid those negative digital displays, and the grey+blue colour combination is not a favourite either. But it's an upgrade over a wave ceptor (had one of those). The oceanus ramps uip the price to where one can consider an eco-drive or a radio-controlled Dugena.

My protreks are 4 screw case backs and have 100m wr so I don't think its the number of screws limiting the WR.

This is beautiful

Lovely of Casio to let this one outside of Japan. T200 next, please, Casio???

I have a Lineage, titanium case + bracelet. Great watch - but not mechanical - of course. Nr. 2 on the frame at 13.33.

This is off topic but I am curious to your opinion of Ratio watches.

Oceanus all day long (if your budget allows, of course). A bit pricier but bound to be way better finished and has bluetooth. Like you, Jody, we can't get the radio signal here in NZ. Ebay prices can be great if you are in the U.S. but I get pinged an extra 15% tax if I purchase anything on that site, so that is a factor which needs to be considered. Having said all that, any of the above watches are worth considering.

As indicated in their user's manual, Casio's 5bar water resistant watches are good for swimming. So I have no complaints in that department.

What casio model comes with a great bracelet?

How do you tell the time at night if the hands go for a wander at night? The digital segment seems very hard to read, even with the light activated.
