WHY I LOVE THE SEAMASTER DIVER 300M ➡️ the overall design is what makes it special for me, it is like no other watch on the market, it doesn't draw any inspiration from another timepiece, it's entirely a watch on its own and making its own history, and it's already an icon.
Dial: the waves, the markers, the hands are exclusive to the 300M. Those skeleton hands so polarizing, once you own it you learn to love them, but most important, they are 100% unique.
Bezel: this scalloped bezel is so distinctive to the 300M, it may not be the easiest to operate, but it works and it's unique and for me that matters.
Bracelet: most polarizing aspect of this watch, some hate it, most love it, myself included, it's unmistakable the SMP bracelet, like no other on the planet, and most important, it's not inspired on the Oyster bracelet that everyone loves, myself included (I own a Submariner).
FINAL WORDS : I love this watch since it came out, owned older variations, it's is original, unique, iconic design that keeps me coming back to it, it may not be the prettiest, but is 100% a watch on its own.

Agree with everything you've said. I ditched my Rolex collection a year ago and wear my 300M 24/7] It fits my every need perfectly. Years ago I had the white faced quartz model, sold it, and have missed it ever since.

@wilfreb or anyone else. How dose the size of the seamaster diver compare to your sub? I have a 116610, and that's about as big as I can wear. Also have a PO 39.5 which fits great, and gets way more wrist time than my sub. The previous generation smpc fit me perfect. No dealers close to where I live to try on the new version.

Not the best pic but if you like the Sub, you'll handle the 42mm SMP very well, for me personally I prefer the slightly bigger case, looks better on the wrist, the PO are much thicker, while the SMP is thinner

Thanks for the picture, and info. Omega looks bigger, but doesn't mean it wears bigger. I definitely need to try one on.

in my experience, the wear almost the same, the Sub wears more like an 41mm due to its super case, and the SMP wears more like an 41mm due to its short lugs and the design on the end links

I notice what a difference the end links make on my PO. Makes the fit so nice.

exactly, a well designed end link makes a huge different in comfort and fitment, and the new PO and new SMP both has new end link.

Far from the ocean, near the sky, the SMP always a great companion

Nothing beats the bracelet IMO

I don't know what the fuss is about the bracelet, it's comfortable for me to wear it all day.
