I always get a chuckle when people chime in that, "it looks too big on your wrist." I don't wear watches to impress other people. I wear watches I love. I don't give two cents what someone thinks about the watch on my wrist if I love it. Watches are about ME not YOU. :) Anyway. Great review! I just bought this watch yesterday and LOVE it. It is one of the most beautiful watches Omega makes. Great company.
I live in a tropical country and purchased the black dial on a bracelet and there is absolutely no sticking,or sharpness or any issue at all with the bracelet...fantastic,beautiful watch
great review. i think your extended use of arm/pocket/wrist shots really sets this review apart from all the other SM300M reviews, especially for use slimmer wrist guys who are trying to make purchasing decisions and would like to see the watch ‘in action’.
YES. This is part of why this video has been super useful! But it has also introduced me to the shininess of the case- which I'm personally not too big a fan of.... Idk what my next piece will be but now I kinda do know at the same time... But I can't say what that watch is being that it'll only have a very limited quantity made....
I really like the way you showed the watch on the dressing. Normally people would just show it on wrists and nothing else which is much less helpful compared to watch with clothes. Really appreciate your help. Thanks!
What I’ve learned is that the lug to lug measurement is more important than the case diameter measurement as far as wearability. 2 watches with the same case diameter but different lug to lug measurement can wear very differently.
I learned that as well. Here's a tip, take the diameter of your wrist. Mine is 2". Then convert that to mm which is 50.8mm. That should be your maximum lug to lug.
Looks even better on the Omega rubber diving strap with a deployment Omega clasp as well as an Omega leather strap to dress is up a bit. Nice review and great watch.
I recently tried on this watch at my local AD and, I have to say to anyone worried about the size, it absolutely does not wear like a 42. I don’t have large wrists and was also not sure about it after reading all of the comments that it’s too big but after trying it on in person, for me the size felt perfect. In fact, I also tried on the new 41 Submariner and that one actually felt like the larger watch despite the measurements. Personally I liked the rubber strap option as it was more comfortable than the bracelet which actually did look a bit large since it doesn’t taper. It’s a completely different experience seeing it in person vs online and photos so if you’re able to, check it out in person!
What's up man, I just watched your video and I appreciate your insight! I'm new to the horology life and actually went with a Seamaster 300m for my 1st luxury watch purchase. I appreciate the point you brought up about - not psyching yourself out (getting caught up in the weeds/details) and count yourself out in a watch that could really be meant for you. As they say, "shooters gon' shoot!", so the same applies in this situation - try it out, give it a shot, and most of all make a smart financial decision in going for what you love. Great video bro!

What an awesome first luxury watch, congrats! Thanks for your kind words! Get ready for a long ride in the world of horology. And most importantly, enjoy the journey! 👍👍
@@BrokeWatchFanatic Thanks! And you're welcome, I look forward to watching more of your content! Haha - hey, I'm buckling up with the knowledge and ready to see what the journey is like.!
@@jhimmothy On time mate! Honestly, I am confused between black and blue bezel (Tokyo edition) Black is cheaper, Blue is 4 weeks wait list which is fine... Just difficult to decide...
I've got the white one, 2 days old, got to say it looks nowhere near 42mm. Bit of an optical illusion, when you have the blue, black and silver together with the white; the white looks smaller than it's stablemates. You are correct, you don't buy a watch for numbers, how wide it's lugs are, you buy it because it make you go wow! A beautiful, accomplished watch. If you get the opportunity go for it. Happy horology.
Similar story to you - started with seiko divers, eventually had an aquaracer too which I since sold, and now have smaller watches like 36mm tudors. The SMP 300m black with rubber was probably the first watch I was wowed by when entering the hobby and now taking another look at it now!
I've got the Speedmaster Racing that is 44.25MM, which actually really wears like a actual 42MM. Eventhough it tells you that the case is bigger, it really doesn't wear bas big as they say. If you would wear a 44.25mm rolex, it will feel like a brick, but this isn't the case with Omega
Don't even think it looks big on your wrist. Not sure why the obsession with small watches these days. my wrist is 6'75 and the SMP fits great. I think a watch is too big if the lugs glaringly hang off (Which I find a lot of hamiltons have killer lug lengths)
Good video. IMO the wrist shots would be better if you weren’t wearing the watch upside down 😂 just from watching other watch channels, no one would complain seeing it on your wrist as it’s intended to be worn, even though we’d be looking at it upside down
Thanks! I didn't know about the Tokyo edition when I got mine. So my decision was fairly easy. Good luck with whatever you decide! You can't go wrong with either!
I was surprised at how SMALL it was when I went to try it on! I was expecting it to be huge, but I normally wear a Garmin Fenix 6X Pro, the SMP is small in comparison.
Congrats man you look great, funny thing you just like me I have my eyes on this exact model I’m saving now to purchase it on my birthday 🎂 on January, and like you i was hesitating first but I think I’m ready now I have good collection but I need a luxury watch and after thinking I decided to buy omega seamaster white dial
Dude you cannot ever go wrong with an #OMEGA! I purchased the same one but with both bracelets, it is a keeper and I added it to my collection of #Rolexes and my other luxury timepieces. #Rolexfanboy
Thanks! I've grown to love a jumping hour function and now prefer that over the quick set date. I just wish they would put the 8900 in the AT 38mm version.
@@BrokeWatchFanatic I got the Zealande first, and fitting it was very difficult. It also made the bezel hard to turn. I ended up getting the OEM, and it is much better.; Far easier to put on and take off, and didn't interfere with the bezel, but unfortunately at a cost.
I have the black version of this on the way currently. My daily is a 38mm aqua terra for my flat 7 inch wrist. I ordered this black seamaster diver 300 cause I was tired of getting so hung up on case size. If it looks ridiculously big, idc. As long as I love it
Yup, we all do at one point, but it's not the end of the world. Enjoy your new seamaster professional! I want to add your 38mm aqua terra to my collection some day. I just wish they had the 8900 movement.
Спасибо за ваш полезный и объективный образ! У меня запястье 6.3 И я пока сомневаюсь (. Но считаю, что так же, имеет значение, рост человека! Можно узнать ваш рост? Спасибо!
Thanks! Yeah, I know it'll be a tough decision. Luckily for me, they didn't have the Tokyo when I bought mine. But I always like to look at my current collection and see which of those two colors would balance out my collection as a whole. If I have too many black dials, I'd buy the Tokyo, and vice versa. If you're still stuck, I'd go with Tokyo. I'm always a sucker for blue. Plus the box it comes in looks pretty cool. Good luck!
Looks huge on your wrist. Also, I’m not sure where you’re coming from regarding the bezel. Omega should be ashamed for putting that bezel on their watches. It’s absolutely horrendous.
Thanks for this very informative vid, was a little unsure between the bracelet and rubber strap. but now it’s bracelet all the way very classy in the white, as i already own a blue Tudor Pelagos. 👍
I think it wears very similar to the 41mm (previous model). I only tried it on at the AD, but it wasn't sized. I had the same feeling I got when I first tried the 42mm, meaning I thought it was too big.
@@BrokeWatchFanatic Thanks for the insight! I felt that way about the 300M (felt large), as I have only a 6.5 in wrist. For some reason, the 300 Coxial (41mm old version) felt better in my mind...I might need to try them again!
@@DennisC_X hi Dennis, had the 41 and now own the 42, it's only 1mm bigger but personally I think it wears bigger because of the larger crown and hev. Tbh suits me better because I have larger wrists. Whatever you get I think it'll look just great 👍🏴
Haha yeah, I was trying to get it upright for the camera and the viewers, but I changed it back to wearing it properly even though it'll be upside down for pocket shots.
Had the 41mm in black for 3yrs and no probs with the AR coating, just exchanged it for the 42mm in blue and love it! Just be careful. Keep up the good stuff 👍🏴
Great looking watch. Personally, I still think it is a bit too big for your wrist, however if you love it and feel confident wearing it, it is a good buy.

Yeah, I have learned that you shouldn’t knock a watch until you try it on wrist.
great watch, i have Tokyo edition, so as owner of previous gen and current gen, this one has increased in size in every aspect - the watch and clasp
Love the Tokyo edition. If I hadn't already bought this one, the Tokyo would've been it. Wear it in great health!
Don't even think it looks big on your wrist. Not sure why the obsession with small watches these days. my wrist is 6'75 and the SMP fits great. I think a watch is too big if the lugs glaringly hang off (Which I find a lot of hamiltons have killer lug lengths)

Haha you are absolutely right. I started wearing it normally now in my other videos lol
Excellent point. I just got one with white dial/black bezel and I love it.
Congrats!
I don't think it look big on your wrist at all. It looks pretty nice.
Looks great on you : good size ! Fantastic watch! I am hesitating between the Tokyo and this one.

can't go wrong with that color. I want a black seamaster too, might go for the no wave dial version.

Nice review! The watch is amazing. I would also look at the Aqua Terra because of the 8900. Cheers
Thanks! I've grown to love a jumping hour function and now prefer that over the quick set date. I just wish they would put the 8900 in the AT 38mm version.
I too own this watch, ironically it is the least expensive watch in my collection but my favorite.
There's a lot to appreciate with this dial and bracelet!
@@BrokeWatchFanatic Indeed!
I love this on the bracelet and on the Omega rubber strap, which I recommend over the Zealande strap. Also looks great on Nato straps.
Thanks for your thoughts on the rubber strap. I was thinking about getting Zealande since it's cheaper and easily attainable.
@@BrokeWatchFanatic I got the Zealande first, and fitting it was very difficult. It also made the bezel hard to turn. I ended up getting the OEM, and it is much better.; Far easier to put on and take off, and didn't interfere with the bezel, but unfortunately at a cost.
@@dr.emilschaffhausen4683 Add to the fact that the Zealande sticks out a bit more past the lugs I think the OEM strap is definitely the better shout.
@@dnalekaw4699 It's also taller, making the bezel harder to turn due to friction.
I've got mine on an Isofrane rubber strap,, absolutely brilliant..
That’s a great choice of watch. Never mind the haters and the poors. That may just have to be my next Omega.
Thanks for the support!
I want that watch but I want the blue dial.
That would've been my first choice if the great white didn't exist. The blue plays differently depending on the light. Beautiful choice!

Saw another video where the AR Coating get scratched after few weeks of use :/
Hope mine will not be concerned, wearing it like a baby haha
Yeah I saw that too. Hopefully it was a defect on his watch. But scratches will be inevitable in the long run.
Apparently yes the at can scratch quite easily but it’s sapphire underneath so don’t worry and the ar coat can easily be renewed it’s only a covering
@@marcdee4427 is it something an average watchmaker can do? Or do you need to find a shop that specializes in it?
