Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
The DOXA SUB 300 Beta is praised for its refined aesthetic and vintage charm, with a wave-patterned dial, ceramic bezel, and box-domed sapphire crystal. Owners find its 42.5mm case wears well due to its compact feel and short lug-to-lug length, making it suitable for smaller wrists and comfortable for all-day wear. The watch is powered by an automatic movement with a 38-hour power reserve. Some reviewers question the inclusion of a helium escape valve on this less tool-oriented design, and one owner notes the polished bezel is prone to scratches. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the DOXA SUB 300 Beta for its blend of classic dive watch appeal and modern wearability.
The DOXA SUB 300 Beta Sharkhunter is praised for its stealthy, "murdered-out" aesthetic, combining a matte black ceramic case with an 18k gold bezel and crown. Reviewers highlight its slimmer 11.95mm thickness and comfortable 42.5mm wearability, noting the 44.5mm lug-to-lug contributes to its good fit. The textured black dial and gold-plated indices are considered a stylish statement, though one reviewer found reading the date difficult. The watch features a COSC-certified automatic movement with a 38-hour power reserve, which is considered a potential drawback by some. The price is noted as a significant factor, with one source stating €7,250 and another US$2,250 on a strap. While the purpose-built tool watch aesthetic and no-decompression bezel are lauded, the "beads of rice" bracelet's spring-loaded expansion links are flagged as a potential wear point.
