Best Seller Watch Rolex Omega Seiko Fossil Citizen

Finest piece ever owned
Grandma told me I didn't need a Daytona, but I sure love Dale Jr. I sold my trailer to by this classy piece of work. It has served me well. It keeps me on time so the misses doesn't catch me with mah sister. Who needs fancy suites and K-Mart sweaters? I were this beuty brings out the best in mah Budlight and Z28.

Too much money for a watch that has no date.
I was on the waiting list at my local authorized dealer for 2 years before I got the call. I promptly pick up the watch and added it to my collection of other wathches. But after 2 months, I became annoyed that it had no date. So I promptly sold it for 00 more than I paid for it. Why anybody would pay that kind of money for a watch with no date is beyond me. I am glad to be rid of it.

The treasured daytona
If you own a Daytona, as I do, that is all you have to say.

People who know them, pick up on them right away. They are scarce, and hard to get. That is why if you can get one at jeweler retail 00, you are lucky.

You can be around people who wear Rolexes, and the sophisticated ones notice it right off the get go. Walk into any jewelry store, and the counter people notice it as you walk in. Its a rush.

Did you know that Rolex prohibits sales people from wearing a Daytona in their stores because customers become angry when they notice them, and find out how few of them are allocated to a store. The waiting list goes to their better customers, and can take years to move up.

If you like the watch, bite the bullet,
and buy it. Otherwise you will waste time, and money waiting to find one.

Rare, collectible, and prestigious
I bought my ss Daytona this past year and it has been my go-to watch almost everyday. It has a tremendous feel of quality and it just looks great with a suit or casual dress. I have gotten quite a few compliments from the sales crew at the finer watch stores; even some of them haven't seen this watch up close and personal. With that said, if you are not a vip at an authorized dealer, expect to pay a hefty premium over msrp when buying through another source. And do expect the watch to appreciate in value via regular price increases and its exclusivity.

The only complaint I have with the watch is that it is missing a date complication. But once I put it on and enjoy the look of its timeless design and the substantial feel on my wrist, all complaints about the date complication goes away.

So if you are fortunate enough to buy one, you should go ahead and do so. Wear it for a few years and if you don't like it you can probably sell it for at least what you paid...I know mine is not for sale, not anytime soon.

Classic but not trendy today.
I bought this watch back in 2003 and I was very happy with it. Now a couple of years later I use it every now and then but it doesn't trill me as it did time ago. The reason is because watches now are different, they are more fashionable. Well talking about watches may be complicated because in the past you were completed with just one watch but not any more. There are watches for suits, for casual clothes, steel, yellow or white gold, strap, no strap diamonds, no diamonds (even on men). So going back to what I was saying before, today rubber is hot in watches as several materials (ceremic, titannium) and something very important today. Watches are big now. The Rolex Daytona is 40mm and now the minimum suggested size is 44mm (I can't understand why Rolex doesn't refreshes its collection). Any typical male watch from the past looks for women's now. Another negative thing about this model is that it doesn't have date (big mistake). Well anyway, this watch is also a classic, is pretty and basiclly looks good with everything and the price is not very high (I know that's not a small amount but prices nowadays are really high). My advice is to look for several options and never by a watch by photo, go to a jewerly store, see it and try it on, and is also nice when you have a watch that not necessarily everybody has. Rolex and Rolex Daytona is a watch that lots and lots and lots and lots of people own, try something different it's also a another advice that I can give.

GREAT WATCH!!!
THIS IS MY FIRST OMEGA WATCH AND I WILL HAVE TO SAY THAT I LOVE IT. LOOKS FABULOUS AND SPORTY AND DRAWS A LOT OF ATTENTION. I OWN OTHER ROLEX AND TAG BRAND WATCHES AND THIS ONE IS RIGHT UP THERE IN CLASS, BUILT AND LOOKS. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD A GREAT EXPERIENCE WITH BUYING FROM AMAZON AND THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS WORLD CLASS!!

Very Distinctive!
I just got this watch and I love it. The time piece is very distinctive and people will notice you are wearing a quality Swiss time piece just by the looks of it. This version offers a rubber strap but can be confused with leather by the look of it. The time piece is larger than most Omega wristwatches and you can feel the weight on your wrist when you are wearing it. Has helium escape valve function which must be used if you don't want the dome to shatter from the pressure of deep sea diving. The watch is rated to withstand 2000ft/600m.

I never went swimming or diving with this watch and don't really intend to. I wear this with my dress pants and dress shirt and it looks fantastic. I bought it more for looks than function. But know that it was created for diving.

Excellent in every way-BUT-you should consider the bracelet instead of the strap because it can be uncomfortable for most wrists
Excellent in every way-BUT-you should consider the bracelet instead of the strap because it can be uncomfortable for most wrists.

This is an 45mm 8 oz timepiece w/o the strap or bracelet, it is tall since the domed caseback is more obtrusive than most Seasmasters because it has a second inner caseback that is also water resistant.

A clasped bracelet offers some arc of support and offloads some of the weight onto the lugs, but the straps are terribly ill suited for a watch this large no matter how soft and how much cushioning is inside.

The criticism over the strap and average size wrist is the watch will "float" loosely over or at least feel loose since it's weight will be felt whenever you try to wave your hand or raise it above your chest. If prolonged, it will begin to bang against the knobby bone in your wrist and bruise it miserably.

If the strap is worn snugly to prevent the floating effect of movement, the diminished circulation from a tight strap and 1/2 pound chuck of stainless steel is enough you to make your entire arm fall asleep.

If you have a large wrist that typically accompany's a big boned 6ft+ frame and worn 45mm+ or larger cases with comfort, then the strap may be perfect.

If this review has raised doubt or questions, it is worth visiting a reputable jeweler (authorized or not doesn't really matter if at this stage) and trying the strap for a few minutes, it will be apparent to you and the tendons in your knuckles if the strap can shoulder this watch comfortably on your wrist.

Avoiding a costly mistake is key since many owners have confided their straps are uncomfortable, but they can't bear to part with their PO and original Omega bracelets will cost a few hundred dollars leaving the owner to resell their lizard or rubber strap.

In my own experiences, I asked my jeweler if he could accept my strap for credit in trade for the bracelet and he complained that almost every strapped PO he sold in the first year was returned and he had a drawer of stretched, cracked and used straps from owners who couldn't tolerate the tendon and wrist pain.

Bear in mind, you aren't limited just to official Omega bracelets, the lugs are 24mm and double girded for two springbars each side, a strong note of caution, anything else other than an original Omega bracelet should at least be attached with the original Omega springbars included with your strap being replaced. This is often overlooked until the aftermarket bracelet and it's cheap pins become unhinged from the lug and the piece falls of your wrist while waving or putting and the worst when your arm is dangling out the window of a moving car !!!

There are too many instances where a half decent bracelet attached with the included and often cheap springbars are inadequate for a case this heavy and the owner has to determine whether to pull over the shoulder and risk pedestrian darwinism or eat an insurance claim.

The chronometer version weighs nearly 3oz less and a thinner case that actually offers some ergonomic countour and comfort. If your criteria is non negotiable and you have wear a 45mm chrono and strap instead of bracelet, it may be worth considering the titanium Seamaster, it is the same size, significantly lighter and has the same mechanical functions for slightly less cost. It is hard to pick a bad Omega and their titanium pieces are some of the finest compared to other titanium chronos.

What a great watch!
I bought this product through Watchmaxx here at Amazon, five star company and the watch itself is stunning. Just gorgeous modern looks and is impecably well built. I love it just as much as my Breitlings, Rolex or Zenith watches. This combo is in my opinion the best one, the orange bezel is too much.

Wonderful experience
I had a wonderful experience. It was shipped on time and the watch arrived with all the necessary items that come with it. The purchase also came with a warranty which was definitely a good thing. I will definitely recommend this to all my friends. Good Job!

BEWARE Anti Glare coating SCRATCHES !

Only 2 stars for this watch. While i do not own this particular brand, i do own a Planet Ocean 2200.50.00 which has the DOUBLE ANTI GLARE ( anti glare on inside and outside of crystal ). The watch looks great, no complaints about that.

Take note before you buy any of these watches from Omega that have the Double anti glare. THEY SCRATCH EASILY !! Mine scratched after 2 months and Omega will not warranty it. In fact, if you go to their website, they don't even have a customer service number and it states this:

"Due to the considerable interest shown in the OMEGA brand, our staff is answering an unprecedented number of inquiries. Therefore, you should expect a response time of at least four weeks. We thank you for your patience and understanding." ONLY THROUGH EMAIL

I feel that after spending 00 on a watch, that they should replace it or at least re-imburse the cost. They do not and will not, so you are stuck with a scratched watch.

Save your bucks and get a ROLEX or Tag. Customer service on these Omega's are NILL !

A Perfect Combination of Form and Function!
I saw this watch in a display case at an authorized dealer for first time earlier this year and was drawn to it instantly! I've always been drawn to diving watches and chronographs. As such, I own a Rolex Submariner and an Omega Speedmaster Professional--both classic watches. The Submariner has an impressive depth rating (300 meters) and the famous "cyclops" date display. The Speedmaster has the chronograph function but no date and needs to be manually wound. It is rated to 100 meters. I've always wanted to acquire a watch that combined them both. The older Seamaster Professional Chronograph, with its 300 meter rating, came close, but I've never took to the styling of the watch nor the bracelet on it. I like the styling of the Rolex Daytona, but it does not have the sufficient depth rating for my liking (only 100m), and the chronograph pushers have to be screwed down for underwater activities. Furthermore, it has no date display. Then came this new Seamaster Planet Ocean Chronograph that combines all that I've ever wanted in a sports watch: a diver with 600 meter rating, a chronograph with pushers that do not have to be locked down for diving, an automatic (i.e., self-winding) with a date display. On top of all this, a beautifully finished watch with impeccable styling and a thick, sturdy, understated bracelet (so much better than any Rolex bracelets, including the recently redesigned ones).

Did I buy it? Yes, soon thereafter, from the authorized dealer, rather than from Amazon, at a higher price for the three-year warranty and my peace of mind of its authenticity. Having worn it every day for several months now, I've been impressed with its accuracy: the new co-axial movement of the new Seamaster appears to give it a better accuracy than all other automatic watches I've ever owned: -1 to 1 second per day depending the resting position of the watch at night. The only potential drawbacks to this watch that I want to note is its hefty weight and large size. However, I should also note that the watch works for me despite my relatively thin wrist (7 inches). So, if you have a similar passion, or even obsession, go and check out this watch.

mY 52 YEAR OLD LADIES MODEL STILL WORKS AND IS WORN DAILY
i HAVE HAD THIS WATCH IN THE SMALL LADIES VERSION AND HAVE WORN IT FOR 52 YEARS ON A DAILY BASIS. I AM IN THE HORSE BUSINESS SO I HAVE MY HAND IN WATER,ETC.ALLTHE TIME. IT STILL LOOKS NEW AND I GET MANY COMPLIMATES ON IT. Can"t ask for more than that. Nan

Not what I expected
I saw this watch in a national chain on sale, but we saved B000NIFAVI,100 by buying on Amazon - 1) bigger discount 2) no sales tax. First of all a warning about buying from Amazon. If you buy this watch at and Authorized Dealer, the co-axial escapment watches have a 3 year warranty. All other Omegas have a 2 year warranty. Since Amazon is not an authorized dealer, they replace the Omega warranty with their own warranty. However, they only provided a 2 year warranty. So I guess I lost a year of warranty for the B000NIFAVI,100 of savings. Plus - I had to take the watch to shop to have it fitted properly.

On a full wind, it usually stops keeping time after 30 or so hours. (closer to 30) That is pretty dissappointing. Because it is so big, you can't wear it all the time. I have had the watch for a month, and I have had to readjust the time about 10 times.

Also, when I do manage to wind it, it still loses about 4-5 seconds a day. That is over 30 seconds a week, that is 2 minutes a month - I was just very surprised that something so expensive needed so much adjusting. Over the course of year - that is 30 minutes - let's hope I don't get stranded on a desert island!

The Chronograph doesn't allow split times. Once you stop it, then restart it, it doesn't catch up - it just starts where you stopped it. Considering the Chronograph increases the price nearly B000NIFAVI,500 over the exact watch without it - that isn't very good.

Also, it doesn't really explain how you are supposed to keep track of long times. There is the second hand, then a dial that keeps track of 30 minute intervals, then a dial that keeps track of 12 hour intervals. So say you time somthing that is 1:01 minutes and 15 seconds. It is can look like 1:01 or 1:31. It kind of looks like the hour hand moves half a tick - but you would never get that from the instruction manual. So let's just hope I never have to time something over 30 minutes.

Finally, the Operating instructions are horrible. You get 450 page manual. But only 1/10th of that is in English, and the book covers every Omega made, so reading about this particular model requires deciphering a complex coding system. It could have used a 2 page insert on just this watch. Also, the only thing you get that "tells" you about the watch is a little plastic thing with a gold string - again with a complex coding system - given the money - they could have provided a list of all its features.

Having said that, it is pretty. The weight takes some getting use to. I still have to take it off when I type. I wouldn't actually dive with it though.

The last sport watch you'll ever need to buy, but the most UNCOMFORTABLE timepiece I've ever worn
The last sport watch you'll ever need to buy, but the most UNCOMFORTABLE timepiece I've ever worn. The Omega PO is extraordinarily thick and thicker than any other analog chrono I've ever seen let alone purchase.

Omega installs an inner case back for added water resistance, but this extra bulk combined with their trademark SeaHorse caseback creates another dome against your wrist and the weight is centered more like an 8 ounce ball bearing instead of evenly distributed with a flatter case. The case is steel and the 8oz is difficult to strap on firmly since it will cut off your circulation.
Wear it loosely and the case bruises your knobby wrist and your wrist can swell and shrink throughout the day making it as impossible to adjust just like a bad shoe.

You should already be versed and comfortable with large watch cases (45mm/+) 45mm's or had a chance to try one for a day and liked it.....you should try one at a jewelers before committing and Omega's Titanium Seamaster does everything this one (plus a "yacht timer") and for less money and half the weight! I wear my Titanium SM and barely notice it.
Omega Men's Seamaster Racing Titanium Automatic Chronometer Chronograph Watch #2269.52.00. I own and have owned large cases including the Breitling Cosmonaut's and a ghastly 51mm Tissot but their lighter weight and flatter casebacks made them an accessory instead of an annoyance.

Omega placed more significance on the aesthetics of the caseback which is the portion that is never seen except by your mistress on her nightstand.

Worn over a wetsuit and clasp it is perfect, but impractical otherwise. The standard 24mm lugs make strap / bracelet changes easy and I've spent three years trying every bracelet including Omega's padded synthetic along with other padded straps from unofficial manufacturers and the closest thing to comfortable was actually removed from a watch at WalMart.



The plain date and time PO is very comfortable and I often wish I purchased it instead because it isn't encumbered with the extra thickness for the chronograph and about 2/3 the weight. But my PO can spend months in the case instead of worn on the wrist wear it really belongs.

This review refers to the Model 2218.50, XL version (45 mm case) with steel bracelet. The opinions of the movement, adjustment and reliability are also applicable to the model with rubber strap and leather / lizard strap.

This is a hefty timepiece, it weighs 9+ ounces (over half a pound), it feels and exudes quality and is bound to illicit a glance and a double take. The domed double anti glare sapphire crystal is super sharp and sometimes hard to determine it is even there.

The exterior is a combination of brushed and polished stainless steel, most notably the trademark Omega horns are this blended finish.

The screw down crown is adorned with the Omega logo and easy to open, the first position enables manual winding for a power boost, the helium escape valve at 10:00 is adorned with the periodic symbol "He".

Clockwise turns of the crown in second position adjusts the date forward, the date can't be adjusted backwards. Time adjustment is easy and rapid; no adjustment for seconds is available.

The unidirectional bezel rotates counter clockwise 120 clicks and lines up perfectly with every second marker, the solid feel of the rotation is nothing less than you'd expect from an Omega.

The luminescent material of this watch is a glow magnet, just a few seconds exposure to sunlight or held close to a lamp will turn the face of this watch into a lighthouse! Combined with the chrome and split bezel hands of the subdials and this timepiece can be used as a signal mirror for low flying aircraft.

The Omega 3313 movement is identical to their 3303 movement except the 3313 has the co-axial escapement, this is the same movement inside the Omega DeVille and will be used in future models.

The accuracy of this watch is only surpassed by my Omega SeaMaster Quartz 300 2221.80, my Quartz Omega never loses or gains a second and the PO gains less than 5 seconds a week. The days I don't wear it, I spend 60 seconds winding it and store it standing vertically for optimum movement.

The bracelet includes the scuba extension of all SeaMasters, but has no convenience pins for rapid adjustment or for bodily weight fluctuation. It releases easily with the double release pins and feels confidently closed when clasped.

I've performed testing of the power reserve, it continues to function about 43 hours with a full wind.

The watch can also function with a running chronograph for over 40 hours on a full wind, that is impressive.

Overall, I'd recommend this watch for anyone who wants an exquisite sport timepiece which isn't out of place at a formal, like all of the Omegas made before it; I expect this watch to endure for my grandchildren and their grandchildren.

Great dive watch
I've used the Hyper Aqualand for about 5 years and have been very pleased with it. I don't use it as a dive computer, but it's a great supplement to your dive computer. As an underwater photographer it's much easier to get information such as depth and duration of dive from my wrist versus finding my computer. True it's a big watch, but the expandable band will fit over your wetsuit. The digital readouts make it much easier to use than any others I've seen.

citizen promaster hyper aqualand watch
had this watch for 10 years the only problem was the band had to change a few time and after about 5 or 6 years it stop reading my bottom time

The best dive watch
I like the feature and it is easy setup. It had time, month, date, temperature, and alarm. But it heavy watch. It come with base unit to hook up to your computer.

Very pleased!
Recently took delivery of this watch, absolutely beautiful, pictures are no justice. You must see this watch and put it on to appreciate it. Solar powered (will never need a battery) and lighter than s.steel) titanium, straightforward styling, handsome watch for the money. I got it for 269.00 on sale.
