It's a nice watch, especially for the price you can get it for but for me the white day/date window on a dark dial screws up what could have been a really nice watch. It would have been better without it or even if it was situated closer to the edge of the dial.

......and yes I own the titanium model. I'm quite often thinking it's 15 minutes past the hour at first glance, particularly in dim light.

 

Just my peronal opinion is that they are very average in terms of looks. There is nothing exceptionally wrong with them, but nothing exceptionally striking either. I'm sure they are great but just dont move me enough to pull out the credit card.

I think they are great watches. There is another Titanium version (I have) that comes on a rubber strap and can be found for even less. I liked the style of hands on this one- its also crazy light and thin and forget your wearing it.

 

it is a nice watch comrade, but in that price I'd prefer to go with Seiko, Hamilton or Chr Ward

 

Not a huge fan of Seikos and the Ward is a little out of my price range but I have been eyeing the frogman 42mm blue pretty hard.

 

I had the Titanium version and it was a very nice watch. Extremely accurate movement. The colors didn't work well for me so sold it, like I end up doing to any brand that's not a Seiko.

 

Lack of marketing has got to have something to do with it. If they dropped the day/date or dropped the day and changed to color of the date display it would be a huge improvement

 

The modified movement used in those watches may scare scare some people.

 

It doesn't have Seiko or a micro brand's name on the dial. No other concrete reason behind it.

 

I would be all over one of these without the orange accents.

 

120 click bezel would also be a huge improvement over the current 60 clicks

I totally agree about the day/date wheel, I think watches look so much better with a date wheel the same color as the dial. Seems like 90% of all watches other then black and white dials do this. However I do love how the day/date dose not affect the indices.

 

The steel case black dial sure looks nice and the 80 hours seems attractive as well. Saw a thread where someone appeared very satisfied, particularly with the accuracy. Have been looking at this (black on black, steel one) is why I pipe up.

 

It's a nice looking watch, but with so many to choose from, it's inevitable that some won't get the attention they may deserve.

 

It’s a bit too big, too much dial. Would be stellar in a 39/40mm case

If it was 39-40mm it would already be on my credit card lol. I'm just getting so sick of submariner homages at this point.

 

The specs ticks a lots of boxes, the bracelet and clasp especially is amazing for the price. But somehow I just don’t love it.

Its a bit generic looking, nothing really stands out, like Mido decided to play very safe. Good value on the grey market though....

Personally I don't like day date in that layout, either just date or just remove the whole thing.

Other than that, its a gorgeous watch, specially in blue

 

Funky hands, too big, weird bezel pip, don’t like the day/date on this one, flat lug case shape, and crown is odd.

Good: movement, lume, like the orange, nice Ar crystal

 

I've been searching intently for a blue diver. I've had this Mido blue and the titanium orange in my cart for weeks, but can't pull the trigger. They hit nearly all of my check boxes, but here are my issues:

- as said above, the day/date, for me, there are various reasons.
1 - I don't like the white
2- I could see mistaken it for quarter past the hour
3 - if I don't know what the day it is, knowing what time it is would be the least of my worries.
4 - My diver watch purpose is mainly a going out watch, or even dress watch. Therefore, it won't be worn daily. Having to adjust the date is a big enough pain in the arse, but then having to change the day? Nah. True, I don't care that the day or date are correct, but my OCD will not allow me to leave them incorrectly displayed. Besides, if my limp body is found in a revine, it would be important for investigators to know the day/date ; ) I don't know, maybe I'm just agitated because today is DST and that really fries my oysters.

I like pretty much everything else about both of these watches and if I wanted to add to a "stable" of watches, I'd have bought them already and simply overlooked day/date thing. But I'm trying to consolidate. I already have too many G-shocks and I have a nice MMW 62 MAS, which I actually bought while searching for a blue diver.

 

It's a great watch. Little different, which is fine by me. I think they are under-rated in a big way.

 

The reg black version has the matching black date window. I had one, great watch. Very good looking piece. I ended up getting the new Oris Aquis though, and sold the Mido.

 

I've got the Titanium version. I personally like the colour scheme. I haven't noticed the quarter past the hour problem.

I agree, it's not an outstanding design. But I like it for being simple and clean in design.

I have the ti version and love it. For the price it’s an outstanding watch imo. If I could change anything I’d make the date wheel match the dial, but that’s pretty much it. The bracelet is nice as well.

I also bought the titanium Version second Hand and i'm more than happy with it! the lume is fantastic. best lume i've ever seen on a watch. de clasp is also great with the quick adjusting System which you rarely see at that Price Point or even above. the sapphire is very clear, at some angles you think there isn't a Crystal at all. and i very much like the use on orange on that perticular model, was for me the icing on the cake. i don't mind the day/date window at all actually. i can hardly recommend that watch to anyone.

 

Design styling a little "outdated" as the indices, hands, bezel... seems had been used by other microbrands.
Though it's slim and sleek enough to double as dress companion, the "mi-nute" crown size doesn't make it practical as diver make.
MIDO's OceanStar is not the first to utilize powermatic80 movement, but that considered something fresh on established mid-range brand. That's why i got one in RG PVD case, another on order in dual tone.
