Omega Seamaster and Breitling SO Steelfish
Omega Seamaster 2254.50
Versatility - This watch seems to go with any dress situation.
Fit and Finish - I love the finish of this watch. I have shopped many brands and the Omega is right up there with the best. It just looks and feels really solid. Some watches will rattle a little bit and the Omega never does.
Ergonomics - The look and design of this watch are all really thought out nicely. The size of the face is nice and large and the bezel just goes perfectly in accordance with the face. The bracelet has a beautiful taper to it and just seems to flow nicely from the clasp to the case when it is on your wrist.
Breitling Aeromarine SuperOcean Steelfish X-Plus.
Bold Styling - This watch is in your face. I love the round applied markers with the luminova along with the blue face. This is the watches best feature. Actually the polished finish on this watch is likable. The overall appearance of the watch is just rugged and beautiful all at the same time. One more thing to add is that I love the AR coating on the crystal. I know that there is a tendency for it to scratch easier but it looks really awesome. It is also much easier to photograph.
Eye catching - This watch demands attention and gets it. Sometimes it is nice for someone to notice the watch that you are wearing. It gives you an opportunity to talk about watches.(None of us like to do that do we?)
Comparing the two watches to each other: Fit and finish - The Omega is better in this regard. The movement seems smoother and is more refined plus I think has a little better reserve(44hours vs. 42).
Versatility - goes to the Omega. I do not think I could wear the fish with just anything. I also think that if I tried to wear it on the golf course I would probably loose 10mph off of my clubhead speed. This thing is heavy.(All you golfers will know what I am talking about.)
Bracelet - Both are beautiful and finished very nicely. I will be interested to see which one stands up to scratches better.
Clasp - Anyone who owns a Breitling know that the clasp is tough and very sturdy. Although it is kind of tight I about tore my fingernail off trying to take it on and off to show my friends over the last couple of days. It should break in after a while. It really makes me appreciate the Omega two button unit. The Seamaster is almost perfect.
