TweetEmailIt looks like Casio just repackaged the Oceanus 5 Motor's insides in a dark and bold G-Shock GIEZ case. Currently only available to the Japanese (and to resourceful and fanatical foreign watch geeks), the Casio G-Shock GIEZ 1000BJ appears to be identical to the Oceanus 5 Motor that I just reviewed, but with a much tougher, "special ops" look to it.Rather than titanium, the case is stainless steel with some sort of black, abrasion-resistant coating, and in place of the titanium bracelet is a pretty standard G-Shock rubber strap. The sapphire crystal of the Oceanus 5 Motor has also been replaced with whatever type of scratch-resistant plastic or acrylic that is used in G-Shocks. I'm not going to bother listing this watch's features since the Oceanus 5 Motor review covers them in detail (including a video), but I will say that aesthetically, this reinterpretation of the Oceanus really creates an entirely new watch.In fact, there might even be some advantage in owning both since your titanium, around-the-office, out-for-drinks timepiece could work identically to your weekend, change-the-oil, help-a-friend-move "beater". I think there could be a marketing opportunity here.The Casio G-Shock GIEZ 1000BJ goes for about $227.Update: Read the Casio Giez 1000BJ review.

Casio are known for products created with digital functions including their wrist watch line. But among all of their watches, the Oceanus collection includes watches that have analogue face. Aside from this, they are also known for their superb functionality.As few of us know, the Oceanus watches are created with extreme precision through the signals that it receives in some spots depending on where region you are at. It automatically adjusts the exact time for the certain time zone. Aside from this, it also has chronographs for the seconds, minute, and hour counters. These functions are displayed on a black dial with accents of stainless hour markers and hands with luminescent coating. These are housed in a stainless steel case and PVD coated bezel with tachymeter scale on it. This case is also matched with a stainless bracelet and clasp.This watch is indeed also a stylish watch aside from being functional. You can get this Casio Oceanus in different styles depending on your taste.
