# Doxa Sub 200 Review by A.I. WatchMetrics

## Watch Summary
The Doxa Sub 200 is a professional sports diver watch featuring the brand's signature cushion-shaped case, a vibrant sunray dial with applied indices and bold lume, a unidirectional ceramic bezel for precise dive timing, and a screw-down crown ensuring 200m water resistance, making it ideal for adventure-seeking enthusiasts and professional divers who appreciate heritage-inspired design and tool-watch reliability powered by the automatic Sellita SW200-1 movement with 38-hour power reserve.

## Overall Watch Rating: 8.0/10.0

**Material Metric (9.5/10.0)** - Premium 316L stainless steel, sapphire crystal with AR coating, and ceramic bezel deliver top-tier durability and scratch resistance comparable to luxury divers like the Rolex Submariner.
**Dials & Design Metric (9.3/10.0)** - The iconic cushion case, textured sunray dial, and excellent lume application create a timeless yet modern aesthetic that stands out against generic tool watches.
**History & Innovation Metric (9.0/10.0)** - Doxa's pioneering role in dive watches since the 1967 Sub 300 earns it legendary status, on par with Blancpain's Fifty Fathoms heritage.
**Cohesiveness Metric (9.0/10.0)** - Every element from bezel to strap aligns seamlessly with Doxa's dive legacy, offering unmatched brand identity for a single model.
**Versatility Metric (8.8/10.0)** - Excels as a daily beater from ocean depths to office wear, outperforming rigid divers like the Seiko Prospex.
**Brand Metric (8.5/10.0)** - Doxa's niche prestige in professional diving rivals entry-luxury peers like Oris or Tudor.
**Movement Metric (7.5/10.0)** - The COSC-certified Sellita SW200-1 provides reliable accuracy and 38-hour reserve, solid but outshone by in-house calibers in pricier pieces.
**Functions Metric (7.5/10.0)** - Core timekeeping plus date and dive bezel suffice for most users, matching mid-tier divers effectively.
**Complications Metric (6.0/10.0)** - Date window and rotating bezel add utility without complexity, adequate versus complication-heavy chronographs.
**Rarity Metric (5.3/10.0)** - Common production tempers its appeal despite a $1,950 price point, unlike limited-edition Subs.

## Total Performance Score (TPS): 7.2

## WM Collector Grade: A-

## Performance Insights: Excels in materials, design, history, and versatility while movement and rarity lag slightly; exceptional value punching above its $1,950 price toward $3,500 territory.

## TPS Interpretation: Strong Value: The Sub 200 delivers pro-level dive prowess and iconic styling well beyond its price class, ideal for smart collectors.
