Edox CO-1 Date AutomaticvsSeiko Prospex Sea 1968 Heritage Diver's GMT

The Edox CO-1 Date Automatic is an ultra-sporty diver with a bold, angular design, featuring faceted lugs and a proprietary bezel lock. It is powered by the dependable automatic Edox Caliber 80 movement and offers 300 meters of water resistance. Owners generally recommend Edox automatic watches, though some find them poor value due to a lack of brand history. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Edox CO-1 Date Automatic well for its sporty design and dependable movement.

The Seiko Prospex Sea 1968 Heritage Diver's GMT is widely praised for its build quality, finishing, and value, with owners noting its comfortable wearability and attractive aesthetic, particularly the silver/white sunray dial and blue ceramic bezel. The improved bracelet clasp with excellent micro-adjustment is a recurring positive point. Some owners report accuracy figures of +3 seconds per day or +/- 5 seconds per day, exceeding the movement's stated range. However, the GMT functionality is considered secondary to its dive watch capabilities by some, with the GMT scale being difficult to read and the caller-style GMT movement being a drawback for certain users. The dial contrast is also noted as lacking by some, and the crown at 4 o'clock is undesirable for a few. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Seiko Prospex Sea 1968 Heritage Diver's GMT highly for its blend of dive watch character and GMT functionality, offering significant features for its price.
