I've read good reviews re Zodiac Oceanaire, but not sure if the Deep Reef or Chrono Racer are in the same category.  Please help me decide.  Which one do you like?

Deep Reef is shown in orange and PVD.  Chrono is PVD.  Oceanaire orange.

Yea it's apples and oranges there you have quartz watches or the auto. I'll go with the auto every time. :cool:

I've had my Oceanaire for over 2 years and love it. ;)

I like the one on the bottom.  Nice case shape, rugged without being too chunky.  The Deep Reef crown looks a little..phallic and I like 4 o'clock crowns anyway.  I've got no issues with quartz, and at this price range, it's not a deal-breaker for me, as long as the watch is put together well with good parts.

Darn now you've got me looking at one too.

Luvvin the Oceanaire orange. Looks killer on a bracelet, too.

Go for what suits your budget, and your taste in quartz v auto, chrono v non-chrono!

For me  - the chrono is too busy. But what do I know - its your wrist!! :)

Cheers mate - they are all good and I hope you like the one you get!

The Zodiac Oceanaire in orange is a great looking watch that just screams to be seen and the blue is very tactical looking.  Have fun picking the one that is most you, cheers.  cool10.gif

Thanks for all the input -- and pointing out the difference in mechanical v. quartz.  Oceanaire is on sale at Zodiac so, I will be ordering it before the sale runs out.
