Geth put them head to head in "DOXA Sub 300t Sub 1500t Comparison". Scores, specs and verdicts side by side.
Doxa · Sub 300T
Doxa Sub 300T Professional
8/10
For the beeeech
The quintessential Doxa and his most eye-catching watch: short like a Turtle, extremely comfortable, a bezel he's never felt the like of and an exemplary beads of rice. Only the lume lets it down.
Doxa · Sub 1500T
Doxa Sub 1500T Searambler
9/10
Beyond thunderdome
Doxa's biggest, heaviest brute and the one Gethin would keep: one of the best bezels at any price, a sublime bracelet and a smooth movement, let down by weight, crap lume, screwed 21 mm lugs and a pip that's always slightly off.
Too close to call
I couldn't decide, so I ended up with both and I wear them both. The 300T is manageable, sensible and comfortable; the 1500T is bigger, heavier and more of a freak. Which one is for you, I don't know.
