Seamaster Planet Ocean 38mm or Speed master Co-Axial 38mm

[hoops10]

Ok, I've finally narrowed my choices to the Seamaster Planet Ocean 38mm or the new Speedmaster Co-Axial 38mm. There is a lot to like about both watches and I would be happy with either but wanted to get some opinions. I love the idea of a Chronograph and I might be leaning toward the speedmaster, but I also love the dives watch look of the Seamaster and appreciate the fact that I would probably never have to take it off. All opinions would be appreciated. I have tried on the larger speedmaster watches but they are just to large for my very small wrist. Thank you in advance.

I have a Planet Ocean, 42mm, it’s a great watch. Never a fan of the Speedmaster, but then I’ve never looked at it very closely, have not held one or worn one. Just my 2 cents

You only live once, get them both.

My small blue PO, great size on my wrist

Because you are in Hawaii I would go with the Seamaster with all the sand and water...it is made for that environment.

I have the 2201.50 too, and I agree -- it's a great watch. My wrist is not all that big, and it fits fine.

If I were going to get another PO, I would look at the new 39.5 mm versions (the 43.5 mm is too big IMO). If I were going to get a Speedmaster, I'd stick with the traditional 42mm versions.

And if I had to choose one or the other, it would be the PO.
