Doxa 600T Pro review

[Thomas Miko]

Hi Folks,
I have been working on this long-winded review of the Doxa 600T Pro vs the Seiko Orange Monster for the last 3 days. It is neither a critique, nor a "My watch is better than your watch" pseudo-review. It is meant to give practical, useful info for those interested in buying a Doxa i.e. will help them make a better-informed first-time purchase. The photos are not high-quality, but they do illustrate my points. If there are errors or inaccuracies, please let me know:

Great review, Tom!

For my 7 1/2" wrist your 600T would be fine. I do not like watches that have cases over 44mm. My Sinn watches have 44mm cases and that is my upper limit. I have a 42mm 1200T and a 42mm Planet Ocean which are just right for me. Thanks for sharing your review. Cheers, Bill P.

A fair review. Thanks for taking the time to write and share it with us. I'm sorry that the 600T did not work out.

I do wish you the best of luck on finding a larger model that will be a better fit.

PM me and I'll give you my home address, so that you can send me that 4000T

Seriously, though:

1) They could (should) increase the surface area of the hour and minute hands that is covered with lume. This would be a huge improvement, and is something that they have done, before.

2) The variation of orange in Doxas is interesting. I know it has been discussed, before. A lighter i.e. brighter orange would make it easier to read the watch under poor light conditions.

I really want to emphasize that this 600T is not an albatross around my neck. I am wearing it at work, today. I really like the quality, finish, etc.
