What is the consensus on here regarding Omega watches?

I saw a Seamaster Planet Ocean over the weekend which caught my eye. Having never owned one, nor knowing anyone else that has one, I thought I'd see what the views on here were.

Hmm I thought the weight might be an issue. I'd prefer a leather strap but can't quite face the fully orange strap they offer.
