Farr + Swit SeaplanevsDOXA SUB 300

Owners widely praise the Farr + Swit Seaplane for its exceptional lume, durable construction, and legible design, highlighting its split-finish dial and comfortable red rubber strap. The ETA 2824-2 movement is noted as a strong point for its price, and the watch is appreciated for its immediate availability. One owner dislikes the deployment clasp on one of the included rubber straps. Overall, owners rate the Farr + Swit Seaplane highly for its robust build and excellent lume at the price point.

The DOXA SUB 300 is widely praised for its wearability, vibrant color options, and modern updates like improved lume, with reviewers calling it the brand's most desirable model. Owners note its comfortable wear, clean cushion case, and legible dials, though some find the 42.5mm case a bit large. The bezel action is outstanding, and the beads-of-rice bracelet contributes to a smaller perceived size. However, some owners report issues with bracelet end links sticking out, a sharp clasp edge, sub-standard screw pins, and disappointing lume. The polished bezel surface is also noted as prone to scratches, and the clasp's top section and clip are described as feeling "tinnyness" and too sixties. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the DOXA SUB 300 highly for its compelling charm and modern updates, despite some noted bracelet and clasp refinements.
