What a great watch!, June 22, 2008
This review is from: Omega Men's 2910.51.82 Seamaster Planet Ocean Automatic Chronometer Chronograph Watch (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.

Very Distinctive!, August 22, 2009
This review is from: Omega Men's 2910.51.82 Seamaster Planet Ocean Automatic Chronometer Chronograph Watch (Watch)
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.

GREAT WATCH!!!, November 28, 2009

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!!

Excellent in every way-BUT-you should consider the bracelet instead of the strap because it can be uncomfortable for most wrists, June 20, 2009
This review is from: Omega Men's 2910.51.82 Seamaster Planet Ocean Automatic Chronometer Chronograph Watch (Watch)
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.
