Dave, I’ve discovered you’re right: OCW-S1050 has AR coating on only the inside of the sapphire. I had written to Casio Japan customer service, and they emailed back saying that they don’t put double AR-coating on any of their Oceanus series watches (and I suspect that this means on any Casio watch period). I now have one of the 1050s, and I can tell you that I can detect virtually no curvature to the crystal (unless its an inside concave curve). I had thought that it had a slightly domed crystal, but it doesn’t. Legibility is a little better on the 1050 than on my other Manta, OCW-S1100, largely perhaps because the latter has a lot of gold accents on the dial, and I suspect that they are causing some of the reflectiveness that isn’t present in the less-detailed (and without any gold) 1050.

They don’t provide any detail on OCW-S1100 because it’s now out of production (I think), being limited to 500 watches in total(it’s a Limited Edition watch).

I think the S1050 also has AR coating only on one side (the inside) as well (http://oceanus.casio.jp/lineup/images/s1050_de_01_detail.jpg). But it does have a “dual curved glass”, whereas the S1000 there is no mention of this. Unfortunately I can’t seem to find any info on the S1100 anywhere on their website..

Oh, one other thing. Does anyone know how to switch the DST indicator to Auto from Off on OCW-S1100. I purchased one a while back, and the damn thing has a Japanese-language Manual. Needless to say, I can’t read a word. Actually I’m looking to unload the watch (100% new and unworn) so as to be able to get one with an English-language manual.

From what everyone’s said, it looks as if OCW-S1000 has AR coating on only one side of the crystal, whereas OCW-S1050 has it on both sides. Does anyone know about OCW-S1100 as to its AR coating–one side or both?

hello everybody,

first sorry for my bad english in advance..

i read all your posts and i’m really looking forward of getting one of those oceanus manta watches.
But which one?

Recently i bought a casio waveceptor M610 1AVER but i scratched this watch during my work.
Now it’s time to get a new one and hell i won’t wear it at my work.

Actually i like the oceanus manta 1000J with the silver bezel more than the 1000BJ.
But i read here that the black one(1000Bj and 1050) is more scratch resistant?

should i get the black one which is more scratch resistant
or the silver one which i like more?

any suggestions would be cool

thx.

Cary,

It does have an alarm. Take a look at the manual for all the details

If it’s got no alarm and it automatically sets based on the atomic clock radio signal, what does it need four buttons for? What does it use them for?

Amazing watch. I myself work in the watch industry (I do own this site) and this is one of my favourites. Every time when you look at it, it gives this incredible feeling of accomplishing goals and gratitude.
