Having tried both (America's Cup), it seems a better integrated sporty, casual watch to me - more than the sum of its parts. On the other hand, the 50 Fathoms has a sporty bezel but a dressy, glossy face and somewhat dressy bracelet
that clashes to some extent.
The BP has a better movement but one could argue the Seamaster's is surely good enough.
Both have great bracelets, with a slight edge going to the unbeatable BP.
In conclusion, for the same $$$, I would probably buy the 50 Fathoms (100 hour power reserve), but at 2-3x the price of the Seamaster, the Seamaster is a much better buy. (How about a Seamaster and
UN 1846 instead!!!)
