The 31-year-old American won in 1min 58.97 with countryman Conor Dwyer, a world and Olympic relay swim champion, second in 2:00.90 and Hungary's Norbert Szabo third in 2:01.56.
Lochte, who won the 400 IM title on Friday, set the 200 IM world record of 1:54.00 at the 2011 World Championships in Shanghai. He took Olympic 200 IM silver in 2004 and 2012 and bronze in 2008 and is the reigning Olympic 400 IM champion.
"It was a solid meet, especially for where I am right now in my training,' Lochte said. "I'm still training kind of hard and I didn't rest at all for this meet."
