I see everyone hating on the size. However for my 8" wrist this watch is spectacular. Looks amazing on the wrist.

I bought a few months ago the blue version of this watch and I love it! Been a true gmt for this amount of money is a huge plus, the movement is very accurate, the case is well finished! In direct sunlight the dial and it’s components pop’s! It’s a large watch but in my 7.5” wrist looks amazing. I really recommend this one!

I paid 925 USD for this exact model today and I must say its awesome, I have big arms and big wrists so it fits me perfectly, this watch has a masculine presence because of its size, the build quality is excellent and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a good watch that's not too pricey.

I have the blue nylon strap model with blue bezel. Simply perfect in every way. I also bought the bracelet and love it even more. The extension “on the fly” its the best in the market so far in my opinion. Doesn’t feel that big really, and I absolutely loved the fact that they kept the “diver bezel” More functional in my opinion than the 24 click one. And you have that inner bezel with the 24 hour so for me it’s a win win.

This is a great choice for the “check all the boxes” collector because its a functional dive watch but the GMT also allows it to serve as an excellent Vacation/Travelers watch. Also, it’s not super expensive or rare, so you wouldn’t have to worry too much about it being stolen or lost while on vacation.

I purchased my Mido GMT this month (March 2022) and I like it better than my Seiko watches I have. My Mito GMT keeps better time (+ 4 SPD) than any automatic watch I have in my collection. The Mito GMT wears well, nice fit and finish. Mito GMT has a the eighty hour reserve, I have a 7.5" wrist...

The size - yes, it's a big watch, but on my 19cm/7.5" wrist, which seems to be pretty average, it would likely be acceptable, but like many commenters, I'd prefer 40mm. My biggest gripe here is the AR coating applied to the outside of the crystal. While the sapphire itself won't scratch easily, the coating will, and over time, it will likely wear poorly, resulting in a splotchy appearance. I'd much rather deal with the slightly greater reflectivity of an uncoated outer surface. It's a watch, not a camera lens.

Hello sir, I know my opinion is a little late to the party looking at the date of your review, I do find you give great opinions and the watches you review are for the everyday, which to me are the best watches. I purchased my MIDO OCEAN STAR GMT BLUE VERSION back on 9/18/2020 and it wasn't in the USA yet, so I searched for it in CHRONO24 and I found an A.D. out of Germany. (Now the watch is all over the US). I must say I love the watch, I rank it equal in love as my other GMT watches.
Two (2) Glycine Airman 42mm Black dial/ 44mm White dial, 2020 Tudor BB GMT & 2016 Rolex Batman. I find the MIDO more to the equal of the Tudor brand in my opinion. So since owning this watch about year of wear. I had to have the watch serviced. due to the HOUR hand stopped moving, upon return from service the watch wasn't manual winding so I had to send it back again. Swatch group told me they extended my warranty by two more years after service. I was ok with that. So let's zoom forward to today, I rotate wearing my watches so each watch I wear about a week or so unless I have a special event and then I go to a more dress/formal watch. Yesterday I went to set my MIDO and found out now the SECOND HAND is no longer working. I have written to MIDO and told them of my past issues and so far they sent me a return shipping label pre-paid, to send in for service . I also suggested if this is going to happen ever year or so I would like they to replace the watch with a new one, but I know this is a fantasy. I was told on another review that the earlier versions of this watch had issues, I guess I am unlucky and got one of those watches. I hope they fix the problem. Because I am not ready to take it out of my rotation, But what's funny is I purchased the watch as a travel/beater watch to destinations you don't feel safe wear the pride and joy watches, Once I started wearing this watch I really 100% enjoyed and would be very upset to stop wearing it, It really has a nice presence on your wrist and great conversation piece too. Again thanks for the videos and a place to vent lolololol. All the best.

I’ve had the orange and black on the bracelet for a while now. It’s fabulous, love it, very versatile and accurate. It’s in my regular rotation, and probably my most frequently worn watch. It is large but it does wear smaller than I thought it would on my 7 1/4 inch wrist. Love this piece, I’m thinking of getting the Blue version for a NATO strap to take diving and serve as my beater watch while travelling. Nice one Mido, this watch is amazing value.

So much discussion about this 44 vs. 40 mm pain. I have MIDO Ocean Star on silver bracelet and it wears just perfect. I like the watch to have a presence on man's wrist. According to me, this is one incredibly beautiful watch, with amazing ceramic bezel, glossy black dial seen through anti reflective sapphire glass, quality bracelet with fine clasp - and all these wrapped with a true GMT mechanism (max. 4s/day) and 80 hours power reserve (!) into a Swiss made package for not more than 950 EUR. To be honest - I am a SEIKO fan for years, but I couldn't find a comparable, high quality, eye catching watch of this size (44mm) in 2022 from Seiko. So I picked this Swiss beauty, and I love it all the way. Price performance - hat off.

Man that thing is a beauty. What a crying shame it's not available in a 40 mm

Beautiful watch, not overly bulky like a lot of dive watches out there. Very well done.

Love my OS in blue. A total bargin for the build quality, functions and movement. Have had so many compliments about my OS. A rock solid piece at a steal of a price.

Not everyone has skinny wrists and not looking for a 39/40mm watch. Plus the 44 wears like a 42. Now if this was 15mm thick, we'd have a problem.
