It all comes down to preference. POC 9300 was my first nice watch, and I wear it pretty much every other day, the 214720 other days, occasionally a G-shock. In the summer I switch between rubber and NATO straps and in the colder months I keep it on the bracelet. I'd love a microadjustable bracelet, but overall find the bracelet comfortable. I got lucky that the size was just right for me during cooler months. Short lugs allow it to look just fine on my 6.75" wrist with no overhang.

The thickness of the watch is it's downfall to be sure. I think it's fine for the aesthetic of a dive watch, but I wouldn't buy a dress watch from Omega with these thickish auto movements.

However I can't complain about the movement or construction otherwise. Mine is +4s per day regardless of position or whether it's worn, quick-set hour while the seconds are running for time zone changes, quick-ish date set, chrono pushers usable underwater (for breath-holding competitions of course!), highly legible dial and hands, dual lume color, bicompax subdials, ceramic bezel insert. What's not to like?
