1.0 out of 5 stars
Very poor quality and no customer support
I purchased a Seamaster and it stopped working in 6 months. The US service center said they would not fix it because I didn’t save the warranty card.

It’s a Seamaster, how should I review it?
Just one of the most beautiful and classy watches in the market.
The only watch I wanted to have…

Omega produces this model with either quartz or automatic movements in both large (42mm) and medium (36mm) sizes. While many feel that an expensive watch ought to be automatic, I want to point out a few reasons I chose to purchase the quartz version.
First, Don’t think that just because it’s quartz, it’s the same movement found in low priced quartz watches. Omega’s quartz watches are extremely accurate and dependable. I’ve worn mine for a year without resetting and it’s still within FIVE seconds of my other watches that are set with the atomic time signal! I believe the Omega quartz standard is +/- 20 seconds/year.
Second, I can pick it up a day or a week after not wearing it and I know the watch will be accurate and the date correct. Please note that with this watch, one changes the date (to account for 30-day months) and hour hand (to account for daylight savings and any time zone changes) without stopping or affecting the time setting of the seconds and minute hands. Unless you wear an AUTOMATIC movement every day, expect to have to reset the time (and date) whenever you put it on.
Third, buying online saves a bunch of money, but means Omega will not repair under warranty. A quartz movement may be less likely to require repair.
When I purchased my Omega I spent a lot of time thinking about the advantages of each movement. I agree the automatic is a fine choice with its own advantages. I just wanted to give the reasons that one might choose a quartz movement and to say I am very happy with mine.

The Omega Seamaster quartz is a fine timepiece. I say this after owning it for almost 3 years. It has kept time without skipping a beat and no problems at all with the stainless steel bracelet or clasp. I wear it almost constantly - at the office and on weekends. I wear it when I bike, when doing yard work, when I swim. I’ve worn it snorkeling in the Caribbean, down to a depth of about 15 - 20 feet with no problems. I just rinse it off when it gets sweaty or dirty. The functioning rotating bezel is a simple way to keep track of elapsed time. I like the durability combined with simple good looks.
There are a lot of watches that go for this diver’s style with rotating bezel and stainless steel band and body. The ones at much lower price points generally look cheap up close, and I suspect they won’t hold up as well to hard use. You can tell that everything about the Omega is high quality the second you take it out of the box. It’s a fairly expensive watch, but definitely more affordable than the similarly styled Rolex Submariner.
