The Omega Seamaster 2221.80 is my first big brand watch, so my I shant be able to do any comparisons with other timepieces in this class. I am, however, truly happy with this watch. It is stylish, sturdy, and, most importantly: it feels good. It is stylish enough to wear at formal events yet sporty enough to go with normal everyday attire. Leather shoes and tie or sneakers and a hoodie. This watch complements almost all styles. I have not owned it for long enough to tell you that it will provide fault-free service for a lifetime, but it seems nigh on unbreakable. You will definitely not be afraid to wear it, which is brilliant. Most expensive things tend to be either flimsy or flashy. This is neither. Luxury for everyday use. It is, to my mind at least, not even really expensive. It is not cheap, mind, but this is of high quality. You get what you pay for.
The only slightly negative side about this watch, and it is only slight, is that because it has a metal wristband, I can't really wear it while using my Macbook Pro because it will scratch the living heck out of my computer. It is, however, a only a slight nuisance, and, I should imagine, a nuisance that one will not have to put up with if one uses a desk top computer.
I'm truly and utterly chuffed with this watch and can only recommend it highly. You need to go into a store and try it on. It seems a lot nicer when on your wrist than does it here on the internet. The picture here on Amazon does not do the wonderful, deep blue color of the Seamaster justice. Not at all. |

| "Superlitive quality with rock solid performance.Timeless design. Accuracy unmatched." | 2009-09-15 |

I have several High dollar Rolex divers and I love them all but for everyday abuse and accuracy the Seamaster Professional 300 QUARTZ wins hands down. Its one of the few divers watch that is'nt a Rolex Submariner knock off. The Omega stays true to its own design and does not borrow the Rolex look in any way. This is important to me because I already own a Rolex Submariner. The Omega Seamaster design holds its own in a crowd of diver watches and is never confused with anything else other than a OMEGA SEAMASTER.
I absolutely love this watch for several reasons. 1st its build quality is perfect and its fit and finish is top notch. The accuracy is excellent. My watch is + or - 0 seconds in 30 days. Outstanding!! The Omega Seamaster 300 quartz movement is Omegas toughest Diving watch and can withstand 5000g's of shock. No wonder it was THE original James Bond choice in GoldenEye.
Omega quarts movement are very high quality and doesnt take a back seat to its automatic brother at all. Both have their selling points. Both are desirable for the same and different reasons.
Why you should buy a Omega Seamaster quartz:
Not all quartz movements are the same just like not all automatic movements are the same. Omega quarts is a very high quality robust movement. There is no reason this quartz movement cant last 3 lifetimes or be handed down as a family heirloom. Maintenance is also a lot cheaper than its automatic brother and less fussy all around.
The 5 link bracelet on the Bond models are a masterpiece of design and comfort. Omegas best bracelet ever.
Omegas quartz movement can be serviced 30-40 years down the road just as easy as keeping a automatic going for the same amount of time. The only difference is it will still be cheaper to service in the end.
A true Professional diving watch.

| "Exceptional Quality; Exudes Good Taste" | 2009-09-09 |

The other reviews around here really get it right. The quality of this piece is obvious just from holding and handling it. It exudes conservative class, but also sportiness. It's my daily driver, and it looks every bit as good with a three piece suit as it does when I'm swimming. Its stylish design and high luster often draw double-takes, and connoisseurs always have nice things to say. When you buy an Omega, you are joining a club - we are a very loyal bunch.
(I will make a note -- I bought this at a jeweler, not online. I wouldn't particularly recommend buying a luxury watch over the internet, as it has warranty ramifications, in addition to concerns regarding authenticity and items of high value in the mail) |

I defiantly say get this watch. whether you are a collector or a womenizer bond knows how to pick his watches, great weight, great glow, the timing spots on the watch took some time to get use to other than that a delightful watch to have :) 6 stars! |

Like the title says, a true piece of art trumps price, every time. This watch is the perfect mate of beauty, class, craftsmanship and usefulness.
The watch immedietly stands out a quality time piece to even the most casual of observer. It sets itself apart from minor details; details that speak of expierence, care and attention to quality.
I cannot give an honest pro/con list of the watch's qualities at this time because I haven't owned it long enough. This review is my initial impressions. Although I conducted an immense amount of research before purchasing this particular model, and from the reviews, personal testimonials and widely-available resources, this watch is as sturdy and reliable as it is beautiful.
Details: This watch is like any fine jewlery product. From the images posted on Amazon you cannot get a feel for how this watch feels and looks in person. All metal parts are either finely brushed or beautifully polished. This watch stands apart from every lower-end watch in the spectrum. All the laser etchings are crisp and clear and fonts are classic and clean. It is the small details such as the font, exact mechanical tolerances and minor touches of class that make this watch the fine piece that it is.
The root purpose of this review is not to brag about the watch though, there are plenty of people that do that already. The point I want to clarify is that customers shopping from Amazon can do so without hesitation. Amazon IS NOT, an official Authorized Dealer (AD). Therefore, the Omega warranty is void! If you are looking for a watch from an AD that will cover the full Omega warranty - DO NOT order the watch from Amazon. Although, I will say this: Amazon does provide a comprehensive and detailed warranty and support network for customers. If your not concerned about the Omega International Warranty, then you can purchase this watch without concern. Amazon provides the official hang tags, outter box, inner red leather box, instruction manual, official and authentic pictogram and International Warranty card (which is not endorsed by an Omega AD so therefore the Omega warranty is no good). I felt completely comfortable purchasing this watch from Amazon despite not having the Omega support available. When I purchased the watch on June 14th, my only concern was the shipping and condition upon delivery. When I recieved the watch a mere five days later (shipped on the 15th, arrived on the 19th overseas to an APO address), there was no damage to the product or the packaging whatsoever. In fact, I was surprised and pleased at how quickly the watch arrived.
To keep this as short as prudent, I won't get into the details of Quartz vs. Automatic but if you have questions or want more details, you can search online where there is a plethora of information or contact me and I will be happy to explain it. But suffice to say, I was very happy with the quartz watch.
Bottom line: If you an Amazon customer wishing to purchase this watch and your NOT concerned with having the Omega Warranty, go for it, dive in and enjoy every wonderful detail this instrument provides. If your a collector and stickler for having the warranty then I suggest moving on to your local jeweler or AD.

| I was looking at this watch about a month ago and it was for sale for @$1,200. I went down to the local authorized dealer and got the watch for $1,500 + $91.00 tax. I do have to say that the Amazon seller has a 1 year better warranty. The watch keeps very accurate time (not off 1 second compared to three atomic clocks). I prefer the quatz movement, due to the accuracy of same. Watch is heavy, keep that in mind. I like that it is a very nice looking, but not over the top watch. |
