Man I wish there were more videos like this. Where we see how it actually wears and how it looks to other people, rather than these extreme close-up shots. Great vid 👌
Out of all the videos about seamaster on youtube this one is my absolute favorite. Just you do the shots from afar and that’s I love to see. Very refreshing perspective!!
I own the blue dial and my son has the white dial. Both are fantastic options. The white dial is a strap monster and my son wears it with about 6 different omega nato straps. The blue dial is hard to pair with different straps and looks best on a bracelet. It’s a very saturated shiny blue so it’s almost to blingy.
Black and Blue are classic dial colors that hold the test of time. White, Green, etc. look great in the short term but they wear off pretty quickly in the long run.
I'm in a similar boat. I've held both the white and blue Seamaster 300Ps, and I think the white looks better objectively, but the heart calls for blue. I'm currently saving up for the blue.
I bought the blue dial with stainless band 4 years ago, when it came out. I love it. I have 3 Rolexes, 2 AP, one Patek, 5 Breitling’s and a zenith. The blue omega is my daily. You made a great decision.
I got the blue one and I'm glad I did. It's really '50 shades of blue', depending on the lighting conditions. It varies from deep dark blue, almost black, in indirect light to bright blue in direct sunlight. A friend of mine has the black one, and another friend of mine has the Tokyo 300M (blue bezel/white dial, with beautiful blue hands and indices). I think the Tokyo looks better than the standard white dial version, but in general a white dial lacks depth compared to the blue dial. There's less 'shade-effect' in the wave pattern which makes it appear flatter.
I got the blue cuz it's the classic color. The white is badass, but you have a good point about what the youtubers (Adrian Barker, Harrison from Chisolm Hunter, etc) getting the white dial. I fell in love with the SMP from the Bond, and nothing was more badass then seeing Daniel Craig wear the transitional model in a tux in Casino Royale.
Beautiful blue dial. It’s growing on me. The only thing that bothers me is the bracelet. Would love to see it with a planet ocean type of bracelet…. Not as thick but the same link design.
Congratulations on you new Omega. I bought the blue two weeks ago and I sat in the showroom for a long while comparing the white with the blue. I'm happy with my choice it's a beautiful watch with a lot of bang for the buck.
Great stuff. Really appreciate the footage that shows the watch on the wrist. My wrist is approx 6.75 inches and I am pending between the current SMP in green or the 21230412001003 (previous model in glossy black). Seems to me that you preferred the older model in the beginning but then transitioned to the white one, the blue one and ended up selling all of them;) Is this correct? Tough choice, also for me and it's constantly developing
Thanks! Correct. I prefer the glossy no-wave dial, but love the caliber 8800. And currently I have no SMP in my collection. It might come back into my collection but I’m not sure. Also looking forward to the next generation SMP, whenever that may be.
Blue is definitely the best of the Omega Sea Master Colors, followed by the James Bond Black with Gold Accents. I just ordered my Blue Seamaster. Used to have one back in the late 90's after the 95 Bond Movie came out. Sold it and regretted it ever since. Now paying over twice as much for this new version and this time I will keep it as my to Go to Watch.
This video is very helpful. First beautiful watch and second the different body shots with the watch gives a nice perspective on how it looks closer to reality. Thanks!
I see you have it sitting quite snug on your wrist above your wrist bone with minimal sliding down your wrist, which is how I prefer it. Is it quite comfortable? Do you use the micro adjustment?
This is my go to watch to wear every day. I was obsessed about avoiding scratches on the shiny bracelet but after a few weeks I have relaxed wearing it. If after 10 years the bracelet becomes annoyingly scratched I will purchase a new bracelet from omega for about 1k. It’s to be enjoyed not locked away for special occasions in my opinion
This is a great video that shows this watch more better than others, i will certainly be buying this watch now after seeing this. My heart was always set on a Rolex Bluesy Submariner, but after waiting two years i think its impossible, Rolex drives me nuts, advertising watches that you can never purchase new. This watch will do for me, nice vlog, thanks.
Where did you trade the watch? I just bought a black color on rubber strap but I really want a blue on a bracelet for some reason. I love the black but blue is more me I think
6 & 1/2" wrist isn't all that large for a 6'2" man... I mean that's not a small wrist, but it's more so average. The nice thing about the Omega Seamaster is that it's well proportioned and the bracelet really softens up the size of the dial, given the bracelet is somewhat more refined than what you'd see in other dive watches.
6.5 inch is definitely on the small side though it's a 42 mm so not too small. Wrist size has some relation to height but certainly not direct. 5 8 with 7.25 wrist and never thought that was a big wrist. One get to over 7.5 that is definitely on the large side
I just put this same watch on the blue rubber strap, and absolutely love it. I didn't like the design language of the bracelet, and think the strap just elevates the watch.
good video, solid narration explaining what we feel in this crazy "hobby", and nice modeling, conveys well the actual look and fit. And to your question, I would also go with the blue one over the white. Black is also cool but that's the one for the sub (help Im poor)
I had blue and white at one point because I couldn’t decide. Kept the white because I couldn’t find any other better looking white dial watch. Sold the blue and bought blue Pelagos.
Just sold my blue Pelagos to buy a blue Seamaster. The Pelagos blue is gorgeous, however three reasons made me want to sell it… 1. For me the thickness, the case is thick all over across the 50mm lug width. 2. The bracelet could tend to feel sharp. 3. The non-ability to repair scratches on the titanium, where’s as on the stainless steel you can work them out. When the stainless watch goes for a service it will get polished and come back like new. Tudor won’t touch the titanium, it’ll return the same with all the nicks and scraps.
How does this compare to your DJ36? I know they are completely different sizes/styles but do you find yourself leaning towards one over the other? Cheers !
I lean more towards this seamaster because of its sporty nature. I mostly dress casually, but if I need to dress up, my datejust is always ready for me.
I almost pulled the trigger on the white one just now but i'm going with blue... it's just more low key chill and not so "look at me".. black might as well be a submariner... blue = omega bond so let's do it!
To me, the James Bond watch will always be blue. I think you made the right choice, but I have the original blue/grey dial, which I wear as one of my favorites. It’s not for sale. But this is just my humble opinion. Matt😃😃👍
Nope, I sold it when I was able to purchase a submariner. But for me, since I have smaller wrists, the smpc would be my choice over the newer version. I even contemplated about getting the blue smpc, but I'm having fun with this blue one for now.
Absolutely correct. A lot of ppl who haven't seen/tried watches in the flesh judge them from wrist shot pics/videos. In reality you need to look at the overall proportions of the persons wearing them. Some might have tiny wrists but really wide body types, hence a smallish watch would look awful. Always try to step back and see yourself in a full length mirror. Proportions matter.
I purchased this same watch new in black about 10 months ago. My only minor complaint is the steel bracelet. The edges of the bracelet on the inside all around the inside were it’s against your skin and wrist is too sharp. It’s really a disappointment that think about something so important. The comfort of the watch band. So I ordered a black rubber strap with deployment from an Omega Boutique. And it’s much more pleasurable to wear. I don’t wear my stainless steel bracelet on this watch
We both have the same problem with blue dials lol it’s all cyclical for me. I’ll have a bunch of blue dials one month, and the next I’ll have a couple. The black is always a smart choice, wear it in good health!
@@BrokeWatchFanatic haha thanks for the confirmation! I saw the black one and I couldn't get it because of that... But the blue one seems to be better for that
I didn't even know there was an Omega Seamaster Professional Diver 300M with white dial, but if you did the trade, that was a bad one because the white one is much more rare.
@@BrokeWatchFanatic Lol, sorry for saying it was a bad trade but I jumped on my chair when you said there was a Seamaster 300M with white dial. I am a huge fan, I own the black dial and plan to buy the blue one this year and everytime I go to my retail or just flirt with the watches, I've never seen, or even heard about a white dial one.
Black SMP300 on rubber all day. Have not been able to stop looking at the dial. Also love the black/white/steel contrast. The dial pops like crazy in the light. The waves look gray against a super inky black dial. So good!! 🤌🤌
It’s too bright, especially when in the sun it looks like an aquatic blue which is a turn off and the reason I sold mine. If they went back to navy blue and tapered they bracelet, I would buy it again in a heartbeat.
I think a taper with similar bracelet design would look weird. They would have to design a different bracelet. I just wish they would make this a bit smaller. Go back to 41mm.
Man I wish there were more videos like this. Where we see how it actually wears and how it looks to other people, rather than these extreme close-up shots. Great vid 👌
Wow thanks for the compliment!
Thanks you so much for posting the vid AND the various shots while wearing it!@@BrokeWatchFanatic
For all the hype about the white, I still think the blue holds its own. Great variant of the SMP300
Definitely!
Bond Blue is best
Out of all the videos about seamaster on youtube this one is my absolute favorite. Just you do the shots from afar and that’s I love to see. Very refreshing perspective!!
Thank you!
You made the right choice. If you ask me to think of the seamaster, I'd be visualizing the blue one in my head. It actually looks incredible on you.

Love omegas watch style and I think these kinds of comparison with how it wears is very hard to come by in the watch social media world keep it up!
Thank you! I appreciate your support!
I bought the blue dial with stainless band 4 years ago, when it came out. I love it. I have 3 Rolexes, 2 AP, one Patek, 5 Breitling’s and a zenith. The blue omega is my daily. You made a great decision.

The dial just pops ❤

I think the Tokyo trumps the standard white as well. Can’t go wrong with any of these amazing models.

That is a classic SMP!
Beautiful blue dial. It’s growing on me. The only thing that bothers me is the bracelet. Would love to see it with a planet ocean type of bracelet…. Not as thick but the same link design.
You and me both!
Congratulations on you new Omega. I bought the blue two weeks ago and I sat in the showroom for a long while comparing the white with the blue. I'm happy with my choice it's a beautiful watch with a lot of bang for the buck.
There's no wrong answer. You chose correctly, my friend!
Blue is the classic Seamaster choice! I picked mine in blue and haven’t regretted it. it’s brosnan blue🔥
Love the blue color! Omega is number one! Thanks!
Keep it Blue! Looks awesome on you. I’m leaning towards the black because I’ve got the Aqua Terra 38 mm blue teak dial.
Man, I love the Aqua Terra 38mm in blue but it would be redundant in my collection 😕 the black SMP would go perfect with your AT!
The best choice without any hesitation, period ‼(I bought mine on 2007 🙂)
I own the white but am thinking about switching up for the blue myself. I used to own a 2004 Seamaster in blue and miss it. Great watch.
What did you end up doing? Same boat here... 🤔
Great stuff. Really appreciate the footage that shows the watch on the wrist. My wrist is approx 6.75 inches and I am pending between the current SMP in green or the 21230412001003 (previous model in glossy black).

Great video! Omega watches are built like a tank 💪
I got the black dial personally, even though blue is also my favorite color. Black just looked very elegant on this model.
Hardest choice for me... black or blue, but you made a good choice!
Blue is definitely the best of the Omega Sea Master Colors, followed by the James Bond Black with Gold Accents. I just ordered my Blue Seamaster.

Glad it was helpful!
I see you have it sitting quite snug on your wrist above your wrist bone with minimal sliding down your wrist, which is how I prefer it. Is it quite comfortable? Do you use the micro adjustment?
I rarely use the adjustment once it’s set. It fit perfectly on my wrist but sometimes the weight of the watch was getting to me.
@@BrokeWatchFanatic thanks! I hope mine fits as well as yours
Really good video
Great angles that rly show off the watch. Doggo great too haha
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful watch and nice video. I personally love Seamaster in Blue and Black. Thank you for sharing your journey and experience.
Thanks for watching!
I'm looking for this watch. Finally a great video with wrist and body shots. That blue is awesome. Great video mate! Cool dog 🐶.
Thanks for watching!
@@BrokeWatchFanatic Are you still happy with your blue choice?
@@MisterGolda Yes, I do. But I'm starting to feel its heft take a toll on me. It's a heavy watch for sure.
Looks great. My next purchase, and i was deliberating white vs blue. Thank you for live video how it looks wears
You can’t go wrong with either!
This is my go to watch to wear every day. I was obsessed about avoiding scratches on the shiny bracelet but after a few weeks I have relaxed wearing it. If after 10 years the bracelet becomes annoyingly scratched I will purchase a new bracelet from omega for about 1k. It’s to be enjoyed not locked away for special occasions in my opinion
Or get it polished.

You’re also saving a lot of money too! Thanks for watching!
Where did you trade the watch? I just bought a black color on rubber strap but I really want a blue on a bracelet for some reason. I love the black but blue is more me I think
Previous owner wanted it back, so I sold it back to him. I suggest trying reddit watchexchange.
6 & 1/2" wrist isn't all that large for a 6'2" man... I mean that's not a small wrist, but it's more so average. The nice thing about the Omega Seamaster is that it's well proportioned and the bracelet really softens up the size of the dial, given the bracelet is somewhat more refined than what you'd see in other dive watches.

Great video! Really nice to see it worn from a distance. Also love the doggo ❤🐕
Cant go wrong with either white or blue
Thank you! 😊
I just put this same watch on the blue rubber strap, and absolutely love it. I didn't like the design language of the bracelet, and think the strap just elevates the watch.
Never tried the rubber strap but it looks nice and comfortable. Also, I love how it’s custom fitted!
Blue- best choice! Best James Bond- Pierce Brosnan- blue SMP300
good video, solid narration explaining what we feel in this crazy "hobby", and nice modeling, conveys well the actual look and fit.
And to your question, I would also go with the blue one over the white. Black is also cool but that's the one for the sub (help Im poor)
Thanks for watching!
I had blue and white at one point because I couldn’t decide. Kept the white because I couldn’t find any other better looking white dial watch. Sold the blue and bought blue Pelagos.
I’ve always wanted to try out the pelagos. Does the thickness bother you?
Just sold my blue Pelagos to buy a blue Seamaster.
The Pelagos blue is gorgeous, however three reasons made me want to sell it…
1. For me the thickness, the case is thick all over across the 50mm lug width.
2. The bracelet could tend to feel sharp.
3. The non-ability to repair scratches on the titanium, where’s as on the stainless steel you can work them out. When the stainless watch goes for a service it will get polished and come back like new. Tudor won’t touch the titanium, it’ll return the same with all the nicks and scraps.

I lean more towards this seamaster because of its sporty nature. I mostly dress casually, but if I need to dress up, my datejust is always ready for me.
the grey dial 1 with the blue bezel is also stunning
That’s also a winner. I wish I could have them all!
Did the same thing and sold my white Seamaster and got the blue instead. I absolutely love it.
Great choice!
I almost pulled the trigger on the white one just now but i'm going with blue... it's just more low key chill and not so "look at me".. black might as well be a submariner... blue = omega bond so let's do it!
No wrong choice!
To me, the James Bond watch will always be blue. I think you made the right choice, but I have the original blue/grey dial, which I wear as one of my favorites. It’s not for sale. But this is just my humble opinion. Matt😃😃👍
love thw blue, planning to get one for myself, thanks for the review.
Good choice! You won't regret it!
Is the ceramic dial on the white glossy as well? Pictures make it look matte… I’m thinking of trading my green for white..
Yup, it’s glossy.
I'm glad u got what u wanted. For some reason the omega blu3 doesn't work for me. The Green Dial one is the best color IMHO
Do you still have your black smpc? Would love to hear your thoughts comparing the older version to this newer version.
Nope, I sold it when I was able to purchase a submariner. But for me, since I have smaller wrists, the smpc would be my choice over the newer version. I even contemplated about getting the blue smpc, but I'm having fun with this blue one for now.
I am looking to order one.. is $5K a good price? New with 5yr warranty. Thank you Joe
Yes if you really want new. Get used if you want to save more.
Awesome watch! Congrats
Thanks!
Question, how many links did you have to remove to fit your 6 1/2 inch wrist?
I don’t remember. I moved on from this piece unfortunately.
I recenty bought white one and sold it
Now black dial is on my wrist,much more happier now
I'm starting to miss my white one now... lol crazy hobby.
Great Video. I have the same watch and l loved it the blue dail is iconic started the james bond franchise in the 90s
Iconic for sure!

I agree it has a lot of sharp edges, but once my skin got used to it, it was fine. The rubber deployant is an excellent alternative though!
Congratulations on your new Omega SMP. Enjoy!Thanks for taking the time to review your Omega.
I love my white. Purchased a 2531.80 to have a blue Seamaster
That blue is fire. I am getting that one soon as I had the last gen in blue and sold it.
Oh man, the last gen was so classic. Hard to pick between the two.
Thanks for so very useful review
I love the blue but I have too many blue watches. So it was between the black and white one. I ended up going for the black one and love it.
We both have the same problem with blue dials lol it’s all cyclical for me. I’ll have a bunch of blue dials one month, and the next I’ll have a couple. The black is always a smart choice, wear it in good health!
same here, just sold my white dial SMP for a blue one
I dunno if wrist size really matters. I’m 5 9 with very small wrists, but I work out loads and have decent arms so I can wear huge clocks 😂
Lol in the end, just wear what you like!
your dog is cute. What breed is it?
She’s like a shih-tzu mix.
Only watch I always think twice before I decide to change
Blue and black are both stunning. I’m going to get a black Planet Ocean soon. You can’t go wrong with Omega
Omega truly is the best 🔥
Love the Blue! nice choice.
I have it!! The best choice!
Man i have a seiko padi monster but this omega is my dream watch
I personally call this one the Goldeneye
Hola my friend I think it looks a bitt to big for ur 6.5 rist. you can trie a 39.or 40 mm it well look perfecto thank you..
Thanks, I like a big watch sometimes. 😃
What’s your wrist size ??
6.5”
The blue is 🔥
I want the white dial blue bezel combination but I'm probably going to end up paying around $1200 more for it.
That color combination is 🔥🔥 hope you find one!
You mean the olympic version
@@BrokeWatchFanatic thanks, yea I've been looking at a couple of them. Just waiting to see if my interest dips off or if I should pull the trigger!
@@scottmadramenxu yes, the Tokyo 2020
Blue is always the best choice
Do the waves trigger trypophobia?
Not at all, until you mentioned it… lol but no. I don’t think so.
@@BrokeWatchFanatic haha thanks for the confirmation! I saw the black one and I couldn't get it because of that... But the blue one seems to be better for that
It’s mostly round holes that trigger it so it’s okay for me.
If I ever bought 1 SMP, it would be the blue. Hopefully they drop one without the HE.
I think it's part of the DNA, I don't think it's going anywhere but then again, you never know.
I didn't even know there was an Omega Seamaster Professional Diver 300M with white dial, but if you did the trade, that was a bad one because the white one is much more rare.
I do miss the white 😕
@@BrokeWatchFanatic Lol, sorry for saying it was a bad trade but I jumped on my chair when you said there was a Seamaster 300M with white dial. I am a huge fan, I own the black dial and plan to buy the blue one this year and everytime I go to my retail or just flirt with the watches, I've never seen, or even heard about a white dial one.
All good. There’s also a white dial with blue accents. Tokyo Olympic edition. Best of luck on your next purchase!
I went with the white. I'm still waiting for it, takes ages.
i love this wearing videos!
Thank you!
I feel like I should mention my height in a watch video. I’m 6’2. Yeah you heard right, I’m 6’2.
Blue is the best!
Blue all the time every time
The white smp looks a little larger than the blue and black ones
Yeah, they say white dials look larger on the eyes.
Sold my black to get the blue. ❤
Nice watch
Thanks for watching
Blue be good.
Deep Blue Sea . . .
Blue
Sorry man. Had to stop watching when another reference to James Bond was made. Nice watch though.
Horrible looking watch because of the carbuncle of a helium valve.
Other watches have it within the body which is far classier.
Oh man ! Sorry You screwed up. The white is much nicer
Haha, I do miss it sometimes!
Of course, Seamaster Diver 300 means BLUE !
Black SMP300 on rubber all day. Have not been able to stop looking at the dial. Also love the black/white/steel contrast. The dial pops like crazy in the light. The waves look gray against a super inky black dial. So good!! 🤌🤌
It’s too bright, especially when in the sun it looks like an aquatic blue which is a turn off and the reason I sold mine. If they went back to navy blue and tapered they bracelet, I would buy it again in a heartbeat.
I think a taper with similar bracelet design would look weird. They would have to design a different bracelet. I just wish they would make this a bit smaller. Go back to 41mm.
This will be THE watch I purchase next. 🤌
Blue
