Thank you for the addition.
I also do only partially agree with you đ While theyâre all good choices on their own, you can get it wrong, if you do not choose based on your personal preferences. Some prefer weightless, extra thin watches. Others like more heft, robustness and water resistance. And there will be buyers with completely different preferences. A potential buyer should not neglect these differences to be happy with his choice long term.
Long time experience with different materials of the Octo Finissimo
The different materials available on the Octo Finissimo offer a quite diverse wearing experience. As I've owned 4 of those materials for quite some time now, I thought I'd post my experience with them. I do not own carbon or platinum variations, so I can'...
I do like them all and the differences Iâve described are not huge. I found myself wearing Titanium the most, so itâs my favorite.
But I like âweightlessâ, thin watches and I do not care about water resistance as much on these. So there will be others, who prefer different materials based on personal preferences.
Good to know!
I have the titanium model myself, and I like it a lot. I got the steel "S" version as well, but haven't started wearing it yet. As mine is an all polished version, so it's a bit more of a special occasion piece. I still like the blue version you have the ...
If you emphazise âin some senseâ.
I do not own a Nautilus, but two AP15202 and I donât see the Octo as a well fit replacement. Iâd rather see it as an addition. Yes, itâs also a blue dialed integrated steel sports watch, but the case size (really thin, flat and rather large), design and f...
No matter what you choose, you can never get wrong
Finissimo is a state of wrist đ I partially disagree when you say that the steel versions are less Finissimo, because I've found them surprisingly more comfortable than the titanium, which is undoubtedly THE flagship. I can confirm that none of mine have ...

I guess you can still swim with them
I would think Ti first and ceramic next. Steel or gold would be last. The OFs are cool for being thin and should stay thin. Also that gun metal effect from ti is just so nice. Best Gatsby
I wouldn't swim with Ti nor with any 30m water resistance watch...
30m is really just for rain, humidity, and light force accidental splashes. Probably not ideal for swimming. If you want to swim, I'd probably recommend that you use the versions with 100m water resistance. Which would be good with a freestyle stroke or b...
Excellent, thank you!
I'm seriously considering one of these, they're so fantastic, and so wonderfully their own thing. The titanium one, I'd thought for sure, was the best version, but lately I've started considering the ceramic.
Try to find a dealer or boutique, where you can try it on in different materials. Also, as itâs a very flat watch, it sometimes does not fit well on a round wrist.
I have a very flat wirst, so I do not have an Issue with that.
Let us know your thoughts when you try them on!
I've only seriously considered the titanium version and never really considered the ceramic version. Thus, I never really tried on the ceramic version.
Very insightful
Thanks for sharing. I like Ti but I had tried the OF in Platinum on a black leather strap and it was amazingly comfortable, I should have bought it then!
Yes only 30m
I compared it to the titanium before purchasing. I chose the steel primarily because I liked how âwhiteâ the steel looks and it has a bit more heft. I have not tried the latest steel OF so canât offer an opinion.
Ahh! This model is now discontinued and super hard to get!
Very cool watch! Another "quintessential" model. At first they wanted the color of aluminum. But the problem was that they couldn't make the watch out of aluminum as aluminum can be less rigid and slightly soft - making that matte texture a little likely ...
Thank you for sharing!
I definitely agree with your titanium sentiments, as that's the only version I've really worn at length.
