Review of the Oceanus 5 Motor Tide Graph (OCWM700TDA

In thepast couple of weeks, it has missed syncing onlytwice and that is most likely due to my placing itnear some electronic equipment overnight.I found it very difficult to sync the watch duringthe daytime and if you ever listen to shortwaveradio you will understand the reasons for this:it's almost always easier to pick up a weak shortwavesignal at night. Casio probably knows this and thisis why the watch is programmed to attempt syncingat 12:00am and for the next 4 hours on the hour.All in all, it's a great watch. I got the titaniumwatchband since I tend to wear out leather andrubber watchbands fairly quickly. It's a bit moreexpensive then the other bands (I paid $239) but I think it will be worth it.Thanks, Sam. I couldn't have said it better myself. All I have to add is:But I quickly got used to thissmall limitation. The small ring is also used by thebarometer to indicate falling or rising pressure.One other small difference is that the stopwatchand the countdown timer mode now have the hourcounter in the top window (which is not such abig change if you remember which mode you're in(you lose the mode indicators "STW" and "TMR"after about a second and they are replaced by a"0H" which if fine unless you confuse it with"OH!"). The stopwatch mode also moved theone hundredths counter to the top window aswell. This is small and a bit harder to see, but it'sa sacrifice I gladly made to have a smaller watch.I live in RTP, NC andthe radio receiver seems to pick up the ColoradoSprings atomic clock without any trouble about90% of the time (usually on first try at 12:05am).
