I've owned the 200 in Aquamarine since May of last year and it's just the perfect summer watch. Incredibly comfortable, and despite it not being a chronometer, it only gains about +1 sec/day. Can't recommend it enough.
For the price given the finish and the features in a very crowded market I think this Doxa is definitely worth a look. I might not be in the market for another diver right now but if I was I would consider trying it at an AD. Many thanks for sharing Guy,
Thanks for taking a look at this underrated watch. I recall hearing the initial versions had mediocre lume, but the last two reviews I have seen indicated solid lume. Hopefully they really improved it over time. I am thinking about one of these, but am torn between the professional and Aquamarine.
Great video. I have the same Doxa on the video every where l go get compliments about my Doxa 200 great watch build solid definitely going to add another Doxa to my watch collection.
Not a 20mm lug width as you state. It’s a 19mm lug width with a bracelet that tapers out to 20mm. Odd but true! … your right though on the lume on the bezel is pretty much nonexistent but it’s supposed to be lumed!🤷🏼♂️
I own one in yellow. The most comfortable watch I have. I do agree the clasp should, not could be better. Still an outstanding watch. Buying the rubber as an extra strap is not an option as it's hideously over priced
The dimensions are weird. 42mm diameter is perfect for a men's sports watch but 46mm lug to lug is really short. Even stranger, the bracelet is 20mm but the lug width is 19mm !
San Martin looks cool, I’ve never seen one in person though. But said all the ones that I’ve considered trying come with an NH35 movements which I don’t care for.
I completely agree! I have several nice dive watches. Helm Miyako, Tudor BB58 and Tudor GMT, Blancpain Fifty Fathoms and a white dial Omega Seamaster Professional 300M. Of all of them only the Omega has a flat sapphire and it’s the only one that is unapologetically modern. The Blancpain is my grail and I’m still in honeymoon phase 9 years after I bought it. I also love all of the others mentioned but I do wish more brands would do flat sapphire. I think brands could still call back to their heritage while also giving us a flat sapphire. All of mine are immensely legible but the double domed vintage inspired sapphire seems a bit tooooooo ubiquitous at this point.
Looks cheap,the metal is too shiny and the clasp is stamped, not a fan you can get much better finishing, bracelet and quality from CW for less money and a five year warranty. For me there's no debate this is poor quality
The cheapest CW Trident Diver on a bracelet is $1095, basically the same price. Not less money. Is it better? Objectively speaking I’d say some of the specs are better. 300m of WR for one. But the Doxa isn’t poor quality, have you ever seen one in person and worn it? And saying it looks cheap and is too shiny is an opinion, which you’re welcome to have, but it is a subjective complaint that doesn’t prove that there’s a quality problem.
For my taste Zodiac Super Sea Wolf(can get one for around 1k$ easily)is better than Sub200 as a whole package,better bracelet with stretch system,here the clasp is a dissapointment.The movement is debatable but I own 4 Stp's without problems,had 4 Sellitas and 2 broke-no rule for this.

Great endorsement, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for watching Anthony and yeah the $100-$1000 diver market is super crowded.
Dirk Pitt, the Clive Cussler hero, always wore the doxa
This watch really popped when I saw it at a Watches of Switzerland. Looked awesome.
Thanks for watching!
Looks a million times better on the matching rubber strap
Ya the strap looks good.

Great video.

Wore the Doxa 200. Great watch. But one correction. The lug width is 19mm.
My caliper isn’t super precise it looked like it was on the 20 line to me haha. Sorry thanks for the correction.
True. The bracelet (20mm) is wider than the lug width (19mm) !
Awesome review. This is my favorite DOXA. Cheers
Good choice! And thanks for the message.
I bought the orange dial 600T, cant wait to wear it around the pool, wish this model came in 39mm
Nice, congrats!
Big boy watch! I do prefer the Doxa orange “professional” but a 40mm, would have been prefect.
Thanks for watching!
Honestly your about the only reviewer to clam the lume is great! Lol… it really isn’t! But with that said I absolutely love mine! 😊
This is one of those watches I want to love, but it always looks better on someone else.
Thanks for watching.

Ya buying the extra strap is a good call.
Doxa have slipped into being Chinese manufactured watches with a Swiss movement...
I sort of assume that’s most brands to be fair.
The dimensions are weird. 42mm diameter is perfect for a men's sports watch but 46mm lug to lug is really short. Even stranger, the bracelet is 20mm but the lug width is 19mm !
I like the shorter lug. Makes it much more wearable on my wrist.
dox's devil diver
Thanks for watching!
An orange dial Doxa is needed in any divers collection!
Thanks for watching buddy.
Nobody is really talking about watches in the lower tiers anyway
Thanks for watching!
Doxa's relation to the original watch brand with that name is pretty tenuous. Get a San Martin or a Seestern in that style and save some money.
San Martin looks cool, I’ve never seen one in person though. But said all the ones that I’ve considered trying come with an NH35 movements which I don’t care for.
For that money they might want to consider color matching the date wheel... 🙄
I’m not sure I follow, what do you mean by color matching?
@@JustBlueFish Are you serious?
Not a fan of all these watches using the bubble sapphire. I will be happy when this trend fades into the past again.
I like the look. I wouldn’t want it on every single watch ever but I do enjoy it on some.

Why are we pretending that this guy is an authority in watch recommendations? Do a prob sent him this watch anyway.
English, do you speak it?
I have been watching “this guy” since 2018 and have found his videos to be interesting and informative. Your negativity is not helpful here.
Thanks for the support!

Have you owned a doxa? Its very good quality in the flesh.

Zodiacs are awesome, although like you say, the movement in those could be debatable. Still great watches nonetheless.
Debatable is a nice way to say junk. Plenty of complaints on Zodiac.
The Longines Hydroconquest has the Doxa beat.
Zodiac is a fashion brand.used to be great watches
@@adamryder4559 You mean Fossil owns them so they are fashion brand?You know theyre made in Stp facilities,where isnt made any Fossil?
