BEST Dive Watch Under $3000?! The Doxa Sub 300T. How has it taken me this long to get a Doxa in for review?! I've always had a soft spot for Doxa. I love their tool watch charm and how committed they are to making a functional diver! Great heritage, great design! Here is my thoughts on the Doxa Sub 300T - the Good, the Bad and the Ugly!

This watch screams professionalism. Besides, it looks very unique. Definitely a great diver, no questions about.

I'm a commercial diver. I wear this watch unless I'm doing something that is really rough, then I wear a Casio Duro. Also Dirk Pitt is the Doxa OG. Nice vid, you should try scuba diving.

I own it and bought it for many of the reasons you suggest (history, pedigree, etc.) It's a great watch. But you didn't mention Clive Cussler! His hero, Dirk Pitt, wears one, and that sealed the deal for me!

I have the 300t (Caribbean blue, blue rubber strap) and it's by far my most worn watch. I love it. First discovered it due to Doxa association with Jacques Cousteau, I watched every episode of The Undersea World when I was a kid, so had to have one. He exclusively distributed the 300 through his company US Divers and he and his team wore them on many of their adventures. Doxa's next dive watch was the Conquistador with it's HEV, which the 300t is based on.

@DaveMGmovies 11 ай бұрын

Yeah, I too was hooked on Jacques Cousteau when I was a kid (we must be similar vintage) so one day I will pull the trigger on a Doxa. Just not sure which one.

@24934637 11 ай бұрын

@@DaveMGmovies I remember avidly reading one of my Dads books about Jacques Cousteaus treasure hunting adventures when I was a kid, and a few years later my Dad introduced me to the Clive Cussler books about 'Dirk Pitt' with his orange Doxa dive watch. It had always since then been a plan to own one, but I honestly didn't think that I'd ever prioritise THAT much money in the direction of a watch. A couple of years ago I was bitten by the 'watch bug', and suddenly came to the realisation that £1800 isn't actually that much money when it comes to watches (At the time, I'd just quit heroin, and bought myself a £200 Accurist as a reward thinking that it was an expensive watch! LOL). Now got 3 Doxas in my collection, and about 17 other watches or various makes, but my Doxas are in my top fave ones.

I’ve owned a Caribbean 300T for a few years now and have found it the most comfortable watch in my small collection. No sharp edges to dig in and, on the beads of rice bracelet, extremely well balanced on the wrist. Although the clasp may not be the best, the dive extension does offer rudimentary on the fly adjustment. Although I’m not a diver, I do sail an old yacht, with no power winches etc, that needs constant maintenance, so the watch does take a real beating, which it has stood up to remarkably well. Overall, I’ve been very happy with it.

I can say from personal experience, the Doxa Sub series of watches are tough and reliable. I have a 600t professional Clive Cussler limited edition and 750T Caribbean. Both have been on many dives and are over 20 years old. Still look and perform as new.

When I first saw a Doxa, I was smitten. I purchased the Sharkhunter 750T reissue after my first tour in Afghanistan and I then picked up the Professional 300T after my 2nd tour. I loved the late 1960's early 1970 aesthetic of these watches. I wore them often, and never babied them. True tool watches. I sold both with most of my collection a couple of years ago to make room for some other watches I was lusting after.

Very nice review and I had to put mine on to watch. The clasp is ok-not much worse than the current Omega Seamaster. But I think it’s biggest flaw is lume. It doesn’t last very long. Surprisingly weak for a diving spec monster. Otherwise it’s damn near perfect for what it is.

I own that very watch, and I like it a lot. I also own a sub-200 in aqua blue on a rubber strap. The sub-200 fits better on a smaller wrist than the sub-300. I bought that watch because it reminds me of my Dad, who owned a mid-50S Doxa dressed watch. He wore that watch till the mid 80S.

@Ed-ig7fj 5 ай бұрын

My experience is that the "beads of rice" bracelet allows your skin to dry more quickly underneath. All of those gaps between the beads seem to help in this by allowing more air in. It also weighs a ton, almost 1/4 lb. in total with the watch, so alternate arms so you don't overdevelop your left bicep. Lol. I love my Doxas, and I think your review is spot-on. --Old Guy

Hi Britney, great video and: no - no - no, it does not look too big on your wrist, it looks great on you!

And it looks smaller than it’s size anyway.

I've owned one of these for a couple of years, it was my first 'REAL' (Mechanical) watch. I find that the bracelet is very comfortable, and the watch is generally accurate to within acceptable limits for me (+4-5 sec per day). Only downsides are it's fairly thick and heavy, which means it does tend to get bashed quite a bit IF I wear it at work, which means that frequently I end up wearing my Seagull 1963 instead as my daily wear watch. Love Doxa, also own a Sub 200 and a Sub 200C-Graph.

And it still works too (on and off anyway) despite never being serviced as far as I know. Still, it really needs one, has done for years.

I do use my dive watches as a dive computer backup. Living on the Mediterranean coast for half the year, it's almost against the law not to scuba dive. I owned the Doxa for a short time only. Though it has many positives, it has one truly fatal flaw for a diver. The lume is absolutely woeful and literally that minute hand actually disappears in minutes. I could never understand why Doxa got that wrong and still haven't fixed it. This is probably why the Seiko Prospex divers are far preferred by professional divers. As far as the navy stuff is concerned that's just marketing. A friend of mine is an ex German navy diver and is in our club and he thinks the Doxa as an emergency backup is completely useless. Maybe he'll comment later after I share this video with him! 😊

OH THE CARBON IS SOOO COOL!!! I just tried it on at the AD a few weeks ago so it’s fresh on my mind too! I love the way the colours pop against the carbon!!

I’m a huge fan of the carbon, so light and comfortable.

I have an Aquamarine Sub300T and love it. Agree the bracelet hangs a bit weird but find the BoR super comfortable. The micro adjustment although not pretty, is super practical. It looks epic on a NATO and even better in a rubber strap. 🩵🩵🩵

a slightly unrelated question from a watch AND western fan: have you actualy watched the good, the bad and the ugly? i highly recomend this film. watch-wise: i own a lanco "lookalike" divingwatch from the 70ies that is probably even stranger looking, with a massive and massively asymetric case, oversized markers and a total absence of any real diving-capabilitys... it probably qualify as ugly, but i fell in love at the time and bought it on the spot...

Iconic watch. Very comfortable bracelet. Amazing value.

I've been looking at the 300T and considering a sharkhunter but struggle with the price of £1890 considering it's a non COSC ETA-2824 a difficult pill to swallow.

Difficult pill to swallow? What about Breitling putting eta 2824 in their lowerpriced models and charging 4000 euros for them? Double standards much? Sinn using sellita sw-200 in almost all of their models and the cheapest models are sinn 556 and 104, 556 on bracelet is 1400 euros and 104 on bracelet is 1800 euros

@@michaelm7557 I ended up swallowing the Doxa pill and picked up a Sharkhunter Sub 300T - I'm pretty sure it's an SW-200 movement so certainly not value for money but I love the design and history behind it.

Currently looking for a dive watch with a 12 hour bezel and day-date function. The Sinn 105 and Seiko seem to be the only ones.

I had the Sub 300 Pro and really enjoyed it. But, I wound up selling it along with a couple of others to fund a Breitling Kelly Slater LE. I always need an orange dial in my collection, but I think the Kelly Slater is the one that's going to stick.

I absolutely love that watch, and hopefully I’ll have one in the future. I’m currently in the process of buying a Rolex sub 116710LN. After that the Omega Seamaster 300 M with the white dial and black bezel or the Doxa. I’m not quite sure as to which one I want to purchase.

Go for it - it makes sense. Would be good to get a review or two on some of the German offerings out there. Give Swiss a miss (once in a while).

I really like the Sub 300 Carbon Whitepearl but just can't pull the trigger. The lug to lug is short for a 42mm so would fit my smaller wrist. I've heard so many issues with their customer service if there are problems.
