I have this exact watch and I get +1 second accuracy per day on mine- actually, even better as after 3 or 4 days, it will have only gained 2 seconds. It's by far my favorite watch. I'm 6'-4 with an 8" wrist so the size is perfect for me and the weight is absolutely inconsequential which is a byproduct of its outstanding comfort. This Planet Ocean with the 8900 movement is a pinnacle iteration of the co-axial movement that has been refined to perfection in my opinion. I absolutely recommend this watch to anybody seriously considering buying one. In the world of luxury watches, it’s actually one of the best values available.

Jesus Christ !!! .. This is the most beautiful wristwatch ever made!

Great vid, destroyed by KZfaq’s excessive advertising. Thank you KZfaq.

A great review and very informative. I have recently changed my Seamaster for a Planet Ocean which was over 20 years old but was still working really well. That said, I find the PO far more comfortable watch to wear and a lot more accurate and easier to read, something that is important given that age is having an effect on my eyesight. If anyone reading this is thinking about buying this watch, my only advice is to stop thinking and just do it you will not be disappointed.

You’re a very good watch reviewer.

I'm waiting for mine to arrive! Exactly the same. I chipped in my Seamster 300 42mm for this. Better specs and legible hands. Best review by far. Thankyou Buddy. 👍🏻

Looks like a very well made watch and I can understand why these are collectible. Cool that you can actually see the workings inside! If I were into watches & actually wore them, I'd def consider this one. Great presentation, WR4K.

Fantastic review, appreciate the work you put in here.

Very good looking watch.

I have this watch as well, and am very happy with the looks and performance. Replaced the bracelet with an aftermarket leather strap, reducing the weight from >200 g's down to 117 g's, and it feels very comfortable.

Best watch I have seen. I have this with leather/rubber strap. Seriously nice piece.

fantastic review, thank you!

Excellent review! Really like my 300M diver. Considering this watch as well.

Best review by far of this watch... And I've watched hundreds

Thank you for this review, John. Excellent as always. Regards

Another great review. My Planet Ocean is 6 years old with the caliber 8500. I like the changes made by Omega to update the watch, it looks beautiful.

Beautiful the 39.5 mm version is the one I want.

Thats one is one of the only newer designed Seamaster Divers that I never did own. While I have grown to really like the Planet Ocean design, the Seamaster Chrono Diver and the Seamaster with the White gold color bezel were the two Seamaster pieces I owned two or three times as one of my distinct patterns I was known to do was to buy new then see new piece that would stay on my mind until I would get it so I would buy then sell shortly after due to the thrill of the newer piece then regret haven sold my Seamaster pieces and hunt down another one and repeat the cycle. I did this with Breitling a lot too as Breitling was my brand of choice and I bought more Breitling Chonomat pieces and Breitling Chrono Avenger pieces from my AD that they would lay out the red carpet literally for me every time I entered their door. They knew if I came in I was buying and like a crazy man I did. Great review and the Planet Ocean is a really fine looking piece. Kashton

i want one before they discountinue

I’ve been contemplating the colour of the pip and minute hand. I think it’s so you can easily identify at a glance when the duration you have preset is elapsed. Green minute hand, green pip, that’s your timer. Hour hand being blue, allows for easy differentiation in low light / murky conditions so you’re not making any mistake. In the case of a dive, this would be very important. I get lots of compliments on my planet ocean and I agree with your review entirely. I can honestly say I love my watch and have no regrets about paying full retail. Love the review! Love the channel!

Professional series dive watch. Incredibley done. That bezel is one of the best I have ever seen. A solid caseback would reflect favorably to the watches purpose.

Can’t wait for mine

Omega Is miles Away from Rolex at quality and class 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻 Omega My Choise

Nice review,of a nice watch thank you.

Gorgeous piece. I think this is going to end up being my personal grail watch. Have you ever come across a reasonably high quality homage to it? In a similar vein to Octopus Kraken's interpretation of the Diver 300?

Watching while wearing the same watch in 39.5mm 8800🙌🏾..

Just a fantastic example, of everything a dive-watch, should be. I appreciate, that some may find it cumbersome, throughout the entirety, of the day, at a weight of 200g. Myself in particular, I actually relish, that heft, in some of my pieces. I do have lighter pieces, in my collection, as well, but often prefer to wear a piece, in excess of 150g. If I could only have 1 dive watch, in my collection, and money were no object, the Omega, "Planet Ocean," would most certainly, be it. Great job, WR. Bravo👏

Gorgeous watch, John, great review. It is too big, too heavy and too tall for me, but I still like it and it appears to be well finished. I'm disappointed to find out Omega boxes are not genuine wood (although they are quite attractive). How does the crown action compare to Rolex?

As always great review! Which would you go for 42mm Planet Ocean 8500 or new style SMP 300 8800?

Excellent review! Thanks so much for posting it. I've been thinking about this watch for quite some time. I finally decided to sell my black dial Explorer II and buy this watch. It will be here in two days. I could have gotten two of these watches for the Rolex and still had money left over! Quick question....I have a 16mm wrist. How many links would you estimate I should have removed? I'm asking because I purchased this watch from an out of state authorized dealer and would like them to remove a few links before shipping it. Thanks again!

Great review! Is everything alright with the date function? It seemed like it got stuck between two dates after you showed the date change.

This piece is definitely a conversation starter… the sheer heft of it will ensure it gets noticed. I really like the orange accents and the [ZrO2] below the pinion! The liquidmetal bezel insert, i think it’s just the numbers and minute ticks that are of this alloy and the rest is ceramic but I could be wrong, is a distinguishing touch of this piece. I dislike the name, i think it’s misleading, I’d have preferred if they would call it metallic glass or gave their specific alloy a matching name. It’s funny, it’s inventor called it a much stronger plastic. Just for comparison purposes but I’m sure you can tickle some watch snobs with that trivia.

I take it you really like the arabask finishing… I can’t spell it lol

8:32 Did you just damage the calendar date at this point?

6:22 as he holds the watch at an angle…“the alignment is perfect.” That’s pretty funny. Great watch, good review, but the pip is not perfectly aligned to 12 o’clock at all. It’s an issue on all planet oceans. I’ve owned and sold two and about to buy another. I’ve learned to live with it.

While it's totally subjective and a low-key argument that could go on and on and on: there are a number of reasons why this could just be the greatest dive watch ever made (wadaya mean, 'Grand Seiko'. Pfff). Seriously though, if I ever decided to go 'one watch collection'. This one would be the one.

The date wheel got misaligned with all that hand movement starting at 8:28.
