“Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 45.5 chrono”
Written on: 18/03/2013 by Dennistosh
Bought a brand new one in late January. Initially was thrilled, BUT -- after 6 weeks a luminescent marker fell off the second hand then a week later the second hand wouldn't return to 12 o'clock -- went to a different place every time I used the bottom pusher! Now it goes back to Omega after having it for less than 2 months and I have to wait for 8 weeks to get it back!!! How monumentally disappointing for an $8,000+ wristwatch, next time I will stick to Breitlimg or Rolex, which have... (read more)
“Not if you are allergic to Nickle”
Written on: 14/11/2012
I have the ladies version of this watch and was told that there is no problem if you are allergic to Nickle. I do not have a severe allergy, just to cheap jewellery if worn for more that a couple of days. Every time I wear my watch my allergy flares up around the back of the watch face. I have spoken to Swiss Watches and they have told me there is nothing they can do, I must be allergice to stainless steel. (this is not the case as my stainless steel Swatch is fine) I would not spend the... (read more)

Written on: 07/10/2012 by Kaisersoze
Watch just stopped working on the walk home, took it to place of purchase they sent it of to omega and they refused to honour warranty and informed me a scratch on the clasp invoked the warranty as the watch had suffered an impact which was exclude from the warranty. Message whatever watch you buy make sure it is not an Omega as they don't honour any warranty claim of any kind just by a casio 0r accurist etc and save yourself £2500.00p (read more)
“Only the size and looks are sturdy”
Written on: 17/08/2012 by joeleo74
I had the watch for 1 year, had bought this watch with the impression of a sturdy strong watch supported by big Rand OMEGA. But unfortunatley, the watch is not as strong and sturdy. I had a problem with the date and sent the watch to Omega for correction and was told that the the internal parts are damaged as there was a shock to the watch. In reality the omega team had found a small scratch on the Bezel and pointed the defect to it.The scratch on the bezel was due to a scratch by a sharp... (read more)
“Omega Seamaster – expect a big annual outlay!”
Written on: 20/06/2012
I inherited my first Omega watch after my father's sudden death in 1983. It was a World War 2 military issue model which he had saved up for after the war had ended. I loved it from being a youngster and dreamed of one day owning it, which unfortunately came all too soon. So it was with a heavy heart that I wore the watch for a further 26 years but everyone who caught a glimpse of it thought it was a beautiful timepiece and was intrigued by its history. I had the Omega stolen when my home... (read more)
“Omega Seamaster Professional ”
Written on: 06/04/2012
Nice looking watch but disappointing. The band has failed twice resulting in the watch falling to the ground. I can no longer rely on it for any water activities. Secondly, it has never kept good time in spite of being overhauled. Very overrated I think, just a show watch. Owned 11 years. I've passed on any more of their timepieces.... (read more)

“Very Expensive to Maintain and Questionable Reliability”
Written on: 18/02/2012
I have owned this watch for several years and wear it about 1/3 of the time. When I first got it, the watch kept excellent time. The rotor was so finely balanced that I could sometimes feel it spinning like crazy when I walked down a step and the rotor was on the down swing. Less than a year after I bought it, one of the hands would not reset on the chronograph. I sent it in and they repaired it under warranty. The rotor never felt the same after and I should have made a big deal about... (read more)

“My Planet Ocean Seamaster is slightly over 1 year old....”
Written on: 05/03/2011
My Planet Ocean Seamaster is slightly over 1 year old. It failed completely after 3 days of wear, and was ostensibly replaced. Have been wearing as my everyday watch for about 1 year. During the last month the watch has begun losing large amounts of time over night. Presently back at Omega for warranty repair. This is my first Omega. I own 15 high end mechanical watches, and have never had such an experience. From the string of comments below there is a design flaw which Omega apparently... (read more)

Pity about the experience you've had, I've had an Omega Seamaster for 15 years, although not the chronometer, without any major problem. The only thing that happened was the crown needed replacing around 6 years ago.

Written on: 11/01/2011
Got Omega Sea master 3 years ago. I am an advanced diver and have had the watch in for service 5 times. 3 times for picking up time. 2 times for flooding. It flooded 2 months ago and Omega lost the watch...they found it 4 days ago and have told me its not under warranty now. Worst watch and service experience I have ever had.
Not sure where to go with this now.

I recently bought an Omega Seamaster watch. The thing keeps stopping overnight which means I have to reset the time and date and manually wind it most mornings. I sent it back to Omega and they say there is nothing wrong with the watch but did replace some parts and oiled it. Just got it back and the watch stopped again overnight! I have a 10 year old seiko automatic that has never let me down. I am sorry I bought this watch, feel it was misrepresented because others seem to have the same... (read more)
“I own an OMEGA Seamaster GMT. ”
Written on: 05/08/2010
I own an OMEGA Seamaster GMT.
While writing this, it is the THIRD time for repair due to big time deviations and stopping of the watch. Every time I need to 'fight' to get a warranty of 2 years on the repair (the fact that I don't just get it is already a sign that the quality is not that goood... otherwise it should be easy to give this). Three times failure, each time after ~1.5 years of use.
Next to that one time a spontaneous breakage of the wirstband.
And initial feedback from OMEGA...

I have the automatic Seamaster, which was purchased as a gift for me. The watch never kept perfect time so about 5 years ago I sent it in to have it fixed. $300 later I had a watch that kept decent time. Recently however, the watch started gaining approximately 5 minutese ever couple of days. I called Omega and the said the watch is not under warranty so it will cost a minimum of $500 to repair. $500 to fix? I can buy a Timex for $30 that keeps better time than this Omega! I'm tempted...

I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A AFORDABLE HIGH END WATCH. THE ROLEX IS OBVIOUS BUT IS IT WORTH THE MONEY FOR JUST A DATE WATCH. I RECENTLY BOUGHT THE OMEGA SEAMASTER 300M MID SIZE AT A HIGH STREET JEWELLERS. FANTASTIC. IF A COMPANY CAN PRODUCE HIGH STANDARD WATCH THE PRICE £1860 THEN WHY BOTHER PAYING MORE FOR A SIMILLAR MOVEMENT. THE CO AXIAL MOVEMENT IS SO SMOOTH IT PUTS ROLEX MOVEMENT TO SHAME.

Written on: 11/10/2009
Bought my new black dial Omega Seamaster back in April 2009. The Co-Axial revolution really is a revolution. In sharp contrast with all my other mechanical high-end watches, I have NEVER had to adjust the time on this Seamaster, it runs +1 second during the day and -1 second during the night, when it spends time on my nightstand. That makes it more accurate than even many of my quartz watches, and that while it takes a lot of abuse. I not only wear it to the gym and high-stress environments... (read more)

Bought the Seamaster professional automatic chronometer six years ago with the black face.
Took it to Omega service centre at the Royal Exchange in London for service, told them it was slightly losing time, but not much, came back four weeks later looking like a new watch.
All the scratches and a few dents on the case accrued over six years every day wear had been polished out, the movement had been cleaned and adjusted, and over a three week period it has lost just twenty nine (29) seconds....

It is really a very unhappy experience to have got a lemon (Ref No. 21230416101001) (Watch No. 90630423) from "OMEGA". Literally a shock to find the expensive watch malfuntioning and I was horrified at the rather "go to the dogs" kind of Omega after sales service. Its nearly two months since a formal complaint now and nothing has been resolved. After neumerous emails to Omega's head office in Switzerland, the whole issue is giong nowhere. (read more)

Fantastic watch. had the Omega Seamaster for 4 yeas and just upgreaded to the Chrono Diver model. Looks cool yet a timeless design. Very durable. Sturdy, looks great, werable in any occasion. The stainless steel finish looks great but can scratch easily. Adds to character I feel, but if this bothers you it's a negative point. I personaly prefer the Blue dial to teh black one. (read more)

Written on: 14/03/2009
Omega SMP Co-Axial 41mm Black Dial - Oh how I love this watch. Beautifully understated, The weight, feel, design and build quality are impossible to fault. I had read the benefits of the co-axial but the accuracy is stunning; over the 10 days since I got this watch it is pretty much dead on to the second I have not had to alter the watch at all. This is quartz accuracy in a 'real' watch! Combine this with extended warranty and service intervals and the co-axial speaks for itself (read more)

I have lived with this Omega Seamaster Men's Chronometer watch for over a year now and when I have it on it always feels a bit special.
Visit your high street supplier and negotiate, they may do a deal (mine did).
It is not worn every day as I have a small collection of nice watches but recently it has been used for two or three weeks at a time and is a nice understated piece of quality.
Blue dial co-axial is comfortable on the wrist and looks understated, not too flashy.

“Thoroughly recommend this watch but don't buy in haste...”
Written on: 13/01/2009 by john blane (8 reviews written)
Thoroughly recommend this watch but don't buy in haste - do a bit of old-fashioned bargaining at independent watch retailers (and be prepared to walk away if necessary) as it is highly likely that pricing will come down a lot in 2009-2010.
Regrettable that James Bond has kept pricing artificially high for 6 months.
A watch with a little more sophistication than the Rolex and others due to the fact that the loadsamoney (80's) and Cityboy (90's) tended to avoid it - thank heavens for that.

This is a great watch. It is accurate, reliable, and very fashionable. The watch can be easily seen in the dark and is great for my diving. Every thing is to my liking and I would recommend this masterpiece to anyone who is searching for a watch.
This is a great watch and I would reccomend it to anyone willing to spend a few thousand dollars, but it's definitely worth it. The watch is easy to clean, easy to use, but not so easy to repair. I have had the watch for 20 years now and have only...

I was very disappointed with my Seamaster because when I bought it, I noticed it had a tiny particle on the sapphire glass on the dial. I took it back and it took them a week to fix it. Now I don't know where they sent it. Also I'm concerned with the accuracy, I was expecting something close to perfect. I've only had it for about a month. (read more)

Had this for 9 years now. Wear it all the time including swimming, saunas, cycling, golf etc. Never had a problem with it and doubt I'll ever replace it. Cost a lot of money at the time but it still looks as good as when I bought it. Friends who buy cheaper watches seem to be changing them all the time presumably because they break so it makes sense to buy one really good watch rather than loads of cheapos. (read more)

What sold me on the Omega Seamaster 2254.50 is the fact that it is the particular Omega model being compared to the Rolls-Royce of watches- the Rolex Submariner.
And when I read this review (http://www.rolexreferencepage.com/articles/2.html), I immediately knew I HAD to have one.
In that review the 2254.50 won the contest over the Submariner! Yet it has the perfect mix of something that can be worn on a daily basis and something just kept in the vault, as with the case of most Rolex...

There are some people selling the old style watch which is model number 2531.80 used for £700-800. Stating the replacement cost is £1600. This is sort of true if you upgrade to the 2220.80. However the 2220.80 comes with the new style movement which is the co-axial. Don't buy a 2531.80 for £700-800. Just go out and buy the 2220.80, believe me it will be worth every penny. So to recap 2531.80 old style watch used ones only. The new version is the 2220.80 which is the new style co-axial... (read more)
