Omega Seamaster 300 After 1 Year On The Wrist | Is It Too Large?

[@jimmyjay122]

Can’t go wrong with an Omega 👌

Agreed

Facts

[@zevongrie1402]

I have the blue version of this watch and it is my favorite of my collection. May you have many many more years of enjoyment with it.

[@JOHNAPRIL123]

I had a terrible time deciding between the 300M and Planet Ocean. I went with the 300M, but after only a few months traded for the PO. I don't regret it. The PO is the watch that first caught my fancy when beginning to collect. But I didn't go with it because there was so much else to explore. It is strange how our initial obsessions refuse to abandon us.

[@nothinleader]

Re: the scratches on the bracelet, you can get an oversized mouse pad or leather desk mat to save it from more unnecessary scratches and is much more comfy than banging it on the table

[@Leftystrat]

Sold me sd43 Rolex for one of these. Absolutely no regrets. The fit for 7’5 inch wrist is spot on. The rubber strap is worth having as well. Omega nailed this one with accuracy. Keeper😄

[@gordonshaw6231]

A few days ago I bought 300 with a blue dial, it will be interesting to see how it holds up against my Rolex, had that over 20 years and although not the best time keeper the case and glass is bullet proof. My omega reminds me of my sub in so many ways

[@DBravo29er]

The micro adjustment of the bracelet really lets you hide the size of the watch because, with the micro adjustments, it can ALWAYS FIT PERFECTLY. Had the exact same watch since December 2018. I love mine and it's been rock solid as well. Great update!!

You can remove the scuffs on the locking buckle with an Emory board. Works for my Sea Master😉

I think you should have done this video wearing the powerglove in the background. But, seriously, I have owned my Seamaster for only around 3 months. I find I like it more and more each time I put it on. Thanks for the video.

[@thegreatgambinowatchreviews]

Lol the PowerGlove would have been a great idea! 🤣

[@martinkaplan1805]

I’ve got the white version on the bracelet, and can’t seem to take it off my wrist! It’s fun, durable, handsome and infinitely adjustable. And while I originally was upset with the scratches that would show up on the clasp, I’ve actually come to enjoy them. I know, odd. And, on my 7” wrist, it looks perfect.

[@petermccann2561]

I'm on my 3rd 300M diver. Sold the 90s version, still wearing my 2018 SS/blue, and have another 25th anniversary version in SS/yellow gold, inbound. Concur the watch wears perfectly, for me, on my 6.75"/171mm wrist. :)

[@thegreatgambinowatchreviews]

It looks very nice on the rubber strap. I have been tempted to pick one up myself.

[@mjdm1925]

I’m very surprised Gambino did not have a shot with a strap. I use mine mostly on a single strap ribbed nato and is very good looking. I have the same size wrist.

[@UCZ15]

Wish it was a 39mm watch with a 46mm L2L, 18/19mm lugs and a tapering bracelet/smaller clasp. That would be incredible. I think there would actually be waiting lists if they brought out a 38/39 to sit alongside the 42. No one would buy any other diver.

[@jamesbramwell1454]

Absolutely spot on here, I had the black version bought in 2019 in the UK - the price has increased in price by about 18% since too. For me, it’s too big, the clasp is huge, the bracelet is nice but needs some taper. I marked the external AR coating too which is annoying! I think the new green is disappointing too, it’s a touch too dark.

[@UCZ15]

@@jamesbramwell1454 I like the green but the thickness, lug-to-lug and non-tapering bracelet is still a dealbreaker. Watch brands are slowly moving away from NBA players and bodybuilders - so we may see Omega release some smaller offerings in time.

Exactly as you said. Same wrist size as me and with the bracelet and lug to lug only being 50mm it wears smaller than it suggests. The Seamaster is a very solid beater and adjustment on the bracelet is excellent I also have the 3861 Speedy too and like that as well but use more as a dress watch.

anyway, just curious, is the new omega seamaster bezel have some fraction of a mm "play" on the bezel? its like the bezel have a bit of give movement...really tiny side to side movement..is it normal? its like tiny bit loose but i know its not actually loose...and have small metallic sound when you tap the bezel...some people said that's not flaw as long as there is perfect alignment, but i don't know, what do you think? i was quite panic when i first received the watch. I used to owned breitling avenger chrono 43 mm and i feel breitling bezel is rock solid and a bit stiff to turn (well sometimes too stiff to turn).

[@ivanw92]

I've owned one since new in 2019 and it's been a great daily watch for me. So far I've had issues with the watch losing about 16 seconds a day but I sent it away to Omega and now its +5secs a day. Wished it was as accurate as my Rolex Explorer 39mm. Another issue that bugs me with this watch is the anti reflective coating on the outside. It scratches so easily and its really visible.. But overall its a great looking watch.

[@diavalus]

I wear this watch as a daily for the past year and the accuracy is extremely good, gaining 0 to +1 seconds a day. Also, the crystal doesn’t have any AR scratches.

[@DBravo29er]

I have this exact one. Owned since late 2018. I have punished my Crystal and the AR coating only recent has a few micro defects that I can't see without a loupe (and I have 20:10 vision). Even in bright sunlight, its encounters with rusty Porsche headers and brick walls don't show. Pretty impressive for just a coating. The coating is more durable than some sapphire crystals I've owned.

[@Alexpress81]

I have a blue one on rubber. Is it worth buying a SS strap?

I suspect the issue you have is that you are wearing the watch on the hand you use the most. Which is the worst thing you can do as that will completely ruin your watch. Also, most likely you do not take the watch before doing some manual task or house chore. That amount of wear is not normal after a year.
