I've had my Omega for a few weeks now, and am thoroughly pleased. It seems to keep near perfect time.
Unlike the previous review, I received the watch in it's red leather case along with complete Omega instructions (written in umpteen languages). Bear in mind that the warranty is through Amazon, NOT Omega, but this is clearly stated.
Watches have become so much more than time pieces...they are fashion. If you like blue dial faces, you couldn't find a better choice. It is spectacular. I personally chose the mid (36mm) version, because this is the style I prefer. However, this particular Seamaster could easily be worn in larger (41mm) size by almost everyone (my wrist is 6 3/4). The stainless bezel surrounding the blue dial does make the watch "appear smaller", so if you are into the current trend of larger watches, by all means consider the full size version. Keep in mind that the bracelet is slightly wider also on the full size. The best idea is to go to an Omega dealer and try it on your wrist. Bottom line is...it's an Omega!

I have a 6.5 inch wrist and this mid-size (36.25mm) watch is perfect for me... I agree with the previous reviews which mention that the watch face looks small due to the big bezel. If you have a wrist like mine it is strongly recommended that you go to a dealer and try the larger size. With this particular seamaster, I think that a person with 6.5 inch wrist can also wear the larger size (41mm) without the watch looking too big on the wrist. I hade the watch sized at a Authorized Dealer and they did it for free after inspecting the watch thoroughly to make sure that it was not a fake. It is also recommended that the band should be sized by a professional as it took a few blows with a hammer from the jeweler to remove the links (They knew what they were doing!!!!). The watch has a comfortable weight and sits very nicely on the wrist. The watch case and the strap have a very nice shine and seem to have been built to last for a long time (Only time will tell!!!)...
The luminous hands and markers make the watch look really cool in low light or dark conditions. However, they don't stay luminous for a long time (Half an hour to an Hour depending upon the light conditions).
I have a desk job and I noticed a few scratches on the clasp and on the outer side of the strap which make contact with the desk. However the scratches were very minute and I think that they could easily be polished off.
I received the watch in an immaculate condition with the omega warranty cards, and a thick manual in a spotless red leather box. The warranty card which looks like a credit has the serial no. of the watch did not have the Dealers name on it. However this was expected as I knew that Amazon was not the authorized dealer.
Overall it's a great watch. I have had this watch for a month and I wear it everyday. No buyer remorse whatsoever.

Just received it today and I must admit that it is even more stunning than the picture leads on. Came with all the appropriate packaging, boxes, and matching serial numbers. Don't pay retail.

Tired of big, noisy watches? the omega mid quartz blue/ stainless bezel, is perfect. same size as my rolex datejust. Great secure watchband. Easy to read dial, even in the dark. I wear a 7.5 watch band, midsize is perfect. blue is dark & the stainless bezel is very conservative. Amazon prices & service so good, I also bought black/black bezell midsize. purge valve probably unnecessary, but it's not in the way & people are really surprised when I press it & take a picture. there may be a better watch for the money, my Rolex is an appreciating classic, the omega is better than my B&M and my Tag 2000 racer. Hopefully I can check back in 5 years & tell you how long battery lasts!

I purchased this watch new from Amazon.com LLC. I chose the 2nd day air option. The watch came with it's outer box and the famous inner red patent leather box which holds the watch inself. The Amazon 2yr warrenty is enclosed with a tiny instruction pamplet (no hard cover Omega manual) with hardly any info(Amazon needs to do better in this regard). I purchased the mid-size quartz model since I have a small wrist and have no room for another automatic in my watch winder in addition to saving a few hundred bucks:). This is my first and probably last Omega. The blue dial is a work of art and can best be desribed as "electric". The lume is about as good as my Seiko Orange Monster which is excellent. The biggest shock is the overall size...I thought Amazon had sent me the ladies version! The watch really isn't that small but the rotating bezel makes the disl look small (if you have a large wrist better upgrade to full size). The band other than having polished accents is no better than my $300 Seiko Spirit's SS band. I gave the watch 3 stars due to the steep price...I mean $500 might be a good starting point. But, considering the Omega Seamaster is the best looking dive watch out there I may have locked in a bargain.
