Omega Men's 2210.50.00 Seamaster Planet Ocean Automatic Chronometer Chronograph Watch


This watch is really beautiful, very solid and of very high quality like all Omegas. The only bad thing about it is that once you have this one you'll want the orange one too. It will last a lifetime

Make me happy every time I look at it. Beware - it's not for everybody. This is a honking timepiece here. It's wide in circumference, yes, but definitely not as "I have a wall clock on my wrist" as some of the Breitlings. However, this thing is thick and heavy. If you want to always know your watch is there, it's for you. The arm you were it on is probably going to be more fit than the other though.

Also you can dive to 600M. I understand that is a lot. Definitely deeper than your bathtub or pool. So you're covered. Also, have you ever looked at your watch and said -" damn- this thing has too much damned helium in it." Most watches, where can you go from there? No where. You're stuck. But this one? BAM. Helium release valve.

On a more serious note, very high quality you can see and feel, lots of attention to detail. I love the look of the back of this thing.

Only 2 stars for this watch. While i do not own this particular brand, i do own a Planet Ocean 2200.50.00 which has the DOUBLE ANTI GLARE ( anti glare on inside and outside of crystal ). The watch looks great, no complaints about that.

Take note before you buy any of these watches from Omega that have the Double anti glare. THEY SCRATCH EASILY !! Mine scratched after 2 months and Omega will not warranty it. In fact, if you go to their website, they don't even have a customer service number and it states this:

"Due to the considerable interest shown in the OMEGA brand, our staff is answering an unprecedented number of inquiries. Therefore, you should expect a response time of at least four weeks. We thank you for your patience and understanding." ONLY THROUGH EMAIL

I feel that after spending $4000 on a watch, that they should replace it or at least re-imburse the cost. They do not and will not, so you are stuck with a scratched watch.

Save your bucks and get a ROLEX or Tag. Customer service on these Omega's are NILL !

Omega Men's 2210.50.00 Seamaster Planet Ocean Automatic Chronometer Chronograph Watch

The Omega watch story begins in 1848, when founder Louis Brandt began hand assembling key-wound precision pocket watches from parts supplied by local craftsmen in his principality La Chaux-de-Fonds, in the northwest corner of Switzerland. However, the Omega name didn't appear until 1894, after Louis Brandt had passed away and his watchmaking traditions were taken over by his sons, Louis-Paul and Cesar Brandt. Omega watches have long been associated with glamorous screen and sports stars--the Omega Seamaster is famous for being the watch of choice for James Bond--with current ambassadors including Pierce Brosnan, Nicole Kidman, tennis player Anna Kournikova, and swimmers Michael Phelps and Ian Thorpe.

But Omega is more than just a fashionable watch. In 1965, the Omega Speedmaster chronograph was "flight-qualified by NASA for all manned space missions" as the only wristwatch to have withstood all of the U.S. space agency's severe tests, including passing grades for extreme shocks, vibrations, and temperatures ranging from -18 to +93 degrees Celsius. The greatest moment in the Speedmaster's history was undoubtedly 20 July 1969 at 02:56 GMT, when it recorded man's first steps on the Moon's surface as part of the Apollo 11 mission. Omega watches rocketed off to space on many subsequent missions, including visits to Skylab and the historic Apollo-Soyuz link-up of Soviet and American astronauts in 1975.

In more recent years, Omega created the world's first self-winding wristwatch with central tourbillon in 1994 and made history in 1999 with the first mass-produced watch incorporating the co-axial escapement, developed in conjunction with renowned English master watchmaker George Daniels. In simple terms, the escapement is the heart of a mechanical watch, generating the impulses that make the mechanism move. Omega's Co-Axial Escapement drastically reduces the friction among the parts that transmit energy to the other components, producing greater stability and precision and reducing service requirements.

Today, Omega is known for its rigorous testing of new movements, cases, and bands. Each new Omega movement is tested on the wrist in existing Omega models, while various laboratory tests are conducted to determine temperature-resistance, shock-resistance and vibration-resistance.

Anyone shopping for a high end watch should avoid Amazon. The item I purchased arrived and was inoperable. I attempted to return the item and it was immediately shipped back with a notice that Amazon would not take it back claiming there were scratches on the band. After numerous calls to customer service and a flurry of emails, Amazon finally informed me the watch was covered under their warranty program. I had to ship the item to their service center (at my own expense, including the intial shipment to try and return the item) and still I have no working watch for my wife to enjoy. To date I am out the cost of a very expensive watch, and the cost of two separate UPS shipments - including insurance coverage.

If you are thinking of purchasing a watch on Amazon, go directly to the manufacturer. Trust me, it will save you a lot of time, frustration and effort.

Ordered this product online as a special birthday present. I received the item within three working days from Amazon; only to find that this item had been previously sold and reissued again. The watch is absolutely beautiful, but the bracelet clasp was defective (unable to fasten following the vendor's instructions). I received notification back from Amazon, they had received the watch back for a replacement; however, the notification referenced "battery dead" as the reason for the replacement. I wanted desperately to re-order, but I am sure they will simply re-issue the same watch back to me. Warning: do not try to resolve problems with Amazon online; I talked to more than three foreign speaking customer service agents (all very nice); however, it remains all talk and no action! You will NEVER have the opportunity to speak with anyone who has the ability to resolve problems. It is such a shame; the watch is beautiful.

i was really happy with my purchase from amazon. i saved approximately $1k off sticker price of this watch and then didn't have to pay tax and/or shipping. i love this classic design and am so glad i was able to get it at a great price and not have to worry about it being real. i took it to my local jeweler and told him where i got it-and said if it came from amazon itself, no worries.

Citizen Men's AT0810-55X Eco-Drive Stainless Steel Sport Watch


I am very pleased with the Citizen AT0810-55x Eco-Drive watch. I checked it out in the local department store first then purchased it from Amazon at a much cheaper price. This is a sports watch, but it is pretty stylish too. The brown and black dial looks much better in person than the pictures on the website depict. The color is what sold me, you don't see brown dials too often in nicer watches.

I had been looking for an "everyday" type of watch to wear and this fits that description nicely. Along side all of its features, like "Eco-Drive", it is a very smart looking watch, with a great look and nice weight to it. It's a Quality time-piece that wont break the bank, and as others have said.. the 'brown' metallic tint to the watch face was what made me decide on this particular model over some other Citizen styles. The Amazon price is is the best I have seen.. usually always is.. and I am very satisfied.

My girlfriend bought this watch for me and WOW, it's amazing. My citizen watch that I have had for over ten years keeps ticking, so I very pleased with the brand. Very dependable, very nice and you I don't ever have to change the battery.

Citizen Men's AT0810-55X Eco-Drive Stainless Steel Sport Watch

The company was established in 1924. The founding fathers selected the name Citizen so it would be "Close to the Hearts of People Everywhere" and soon after adopted the company’s formal name, Citizen Watch Company.

During the last seventy-five years Citizen has expanded its business throughout the world and has achieved recognition as the global brand. The past twenty-five year period has coincided with the company’s dramatic rise to its current position as the world’s largest watchmaker, a distinction Citizen has held every year since 1986.

More recently, Citizen has staked out a new position as the leader in timekeeping with its Eco-Drives watches that are light powered. With models ranging from dress models to sports models to professional dive watches, Citizen Eco-Drive runs continuously in any kind of natural or artificial light for a lifetime of use. Fueled by light, it never needs a battery.

Michael Kors Watches Silver Chronograph with Stones


The picture does not do this watch justice. The mother of pearl face is almost iridescent, giving it hues of white, silver, pink, and green in different light. Very good buy, I'm thrilled.

Honestly, I could not love my watch any more. This picture of it does not do it justice. It is so shiny and the little crystals are petite yet you still get that classy bling that you are looking for. The face NEVER scratches, however, the band has scratched somewhat, but I don't think you will be able to avoid that with any watch unless you never lay your wrists down anywhere....Anyway, well worth the money, I get compliments all the time, and if they don't compliment, they are sure eyeballing my gorgeous watch!:) I want the gold and white one now....:)

The watch I ordered arrived on time and the transaction went smoothly. It was the aftermath that was tough to deal with. The watch was a Xmas present for my wife that did not receive it for nearly 3 weeks after the watch arrived. A few days after opening the box, and taking it out the box to wear, the band detached from where it connected to the watch itself. When I called for a return slip I was told that I had to send an email request to a manager to get an approval, because it was now past the 5 days they they allow for watch returns. 2 days later I was emailed a notice granting me 'permission' to return it but it had to be returned within 30 days of the initial shipment date. Now I had the biggest problem of all, if you add up all the days that went by because of waiting for the holiday, when she actually was able to open the present, the band falling apart, the permission to use a return form and actually sending that in, it was now 33 days after the shipment date. So... we gotta pay someone to fix it. Jomashop charges $32.00. My wife still has a unwearable watch.

Tommy Hilfiger Men's 1790485 Black Rubber Strap Watch

I have owned two Hilfiger watches. Both lasted less than a year. The first watch stem fell out. After paying $12.00 and the cost to ship it to their repair service for warranty repair, it was declined and an estimate to fix the watch was emailed back. (double the original purchase price of the watch). When asked for an explanation why they wouldn't honor their warranty, they replied their "experts" determined it was not defective, I must have abused it. I didn't think so, but maybe.

Well shame on me, I bought another one. This one apparently leaked...it had water in it. Same story on the warranty, including the high cost to repair. I must have got it wet...duh! It's a waterproof watch...I was washing my hands!.

Never again....caveat emptor.

Received this watch as a gift from my wife, so for that reason its special. I like the fit of it, especially the rubber watchband. The band has the traditional two loops to hold the sleeve into place. I have had the watch for a year now, and one of them just ripped. The factory battery just died as well after one year. My only real complaint on this watch is the lighting. It has the illuminated coverings on the hands and numbers, and when they work they are sufficient. The problem is that they usually dont work and I cant seem to figure out why. The nice thing about the watch is that its a good functional and attractive watch for the money.

Tommy Hilfiger Men's 1790485 Black Rubber Strap Watch


The History of Tommy Hilfiger In 1969, Tommy Hilfiger began his retail career while still in high school with $125 and 20 pairs of bell-bottom jeans. This entrepreneurial spirit mixed with raw talent led him to establish a small chain of retail stores, where he designed the clothes people wanted but could never find. In 1985, Hilfiger introduced his signature collection of menswear.

Since its inception, the Tommy Hilfiger brand has been built on a powerful design philosophy: Adding fresh, new perspective to traditional, all-American stylings. This approach proved so compelling, that in less than two decades, the Company grew from a single line into a global business encompassing a wide range of products. From menswear and womenswear to licensing agreements in accessories, footwear, fragrance and more, Tommy Hilfiger has become a fashion icon.

Tommy Hilfiger Watches – Classic, American, Cool It was only a matter of time before Tommy Hilfiger took on the world of watches. Inspired by his father who worked 42 years as a watchmaker in the jewelry business, Tommy Hilfiger was driven to design his own watch collection. Putting his extraordinary talents and infallible fashion instincts to the test, Tommy Hilfiger stepped into the role of watch designer. His goal was to offer the precise, reliable performance of a quality timepiece as well as the classic American style for which his sportswear was so well known. Hilfiger set out to create fashion watches of unmistakable style and exceptional value, and that’s exactly what he did.

In 1999, Tommy Hilfiger entered into an exclusive, ongoing licensing agreement with Movado Group, Inc. for the well known watch company to design, manufacture and distribute Tommy Hilfiger Watches worldwide. Meticulously designed to complement the Tommy Hilfiger lifestyle and brand aesthetic, the launch collection combined a cool, classic sophistication with quality craftsmanship.

Today's Tommy Hilfiger watches remain true to the brand's original design concept. Sporting a traditional American style with a modern twist, the latest Tommy Hilfiger watch collection ranges from stainless steel chronographs and multi-eye models, to chic designs with genuine diamonds, reversible bands, iconic Tommy Hilfiger detailing like plaid etching, and signature Tommy Hilfiger fabrics and colors.

General Information and Care Tommy Hilfiger watches have been developed with meticulous attention to quality, function and detail.

Battery Information A Tommy Hilfiger quartz analog watch has a 1.55-Volt silver-oxide battery. It is specially designed for watches and will last approximately 18-36 months under normal use.

NOTE: Frequent use of special functions, like the stopwatch timer on chronograph models, may shorten battery life.

Water Resistance All Tommy Hilfiger watches meet international standards for water resistance to 3 ATM, so faucet spray or rain won’t damage them as long as the case, crown and crystal remain intact.

DO NOT press the push-buttons on a chronograph model when the watch is under water, or it will not remain water resistant.

NOTE: We recommend that you do not get your leather strap wet. Exposing leather to water can cause premature wear and deterioration.

Tommy Hilfiger Watches Limited Warranty Tommy Hilfiger Watches (THW) warrants to the original consumer that his/her watch will be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for a period of ten (10) years in the US and Canada, or two (2) years in Europe, Asia and Latin America, from date of purchase. During this period, the watch movement will be repaired or the watch will be replaced (at the sole discretion of THW) free of charge, if it proves to be defective in material or workmanship under normal use.

This limited warranty does not cover batteries, straps, gold-plating, scratches or any damage arising from normal wear, accidents or misuse, or from any alteration, service or repair performed by any party other than the Tommy Hilfiger Watch Company or one of its Authorized Service Centers.

Skagen Men's 433LSL1 Slim Brown Leather Watch

This is a very nice looking watch, with a surprisingly thin case (only 5mm!), but I only got to enjoy wearing it for a few months before the crystal spontaneously cracked in my dresser drawer one night. When my wife took the watch to a watch repair shop, they quoted $55 to replace the broken crystal. That's five less than the sale price of the watch - no thanks. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted, but I won't buy another one to replace the first - twenty bucks a month is a bit high for a watch rental.

My wife bought me this watch for our 20th anniversary. It keeps good time and looks classy. I can wear it to work with a pair of jeans and a casual shirt and then keep it on for a night out in slacks and a button down. Good watch.

I've had this watch for 2 years. If you like thin (5 mm) & light-weight, you'll love this watch- I sure do.
