15300 and 15202 are both great, but also very different. You can‘t go wrong with any of those two, so it should really be a question of what feels better on YOUR wrist.

I just prefer the 15202 because I‘m attracted to thin and ultra thin watches in general, not because I think it‘s a better watch.

15202 vs 15300

Hi, With the fuss around Genta sports watches these days, there seems to exist peer pressure to buy one of those pieces.. I have always been more of a leather strap kind of guy, but have owned and own some steel watches - one of them being 15300. Everyone...  

Notable differences...

I have a couple of 15300s which I like very much, still. Initially, the 15202 didn’t grab me as much because it is notably thinner and dressier than the 15300...which I like because of it relative ruggedness that I regarded as going with the uniquely angu...

The watches feel much different on the wrist.

I wore a 15300 starting in 2006, and wore both a bracelet and strap model for some time. The 15202 is just different. Thinner, obviously, but a different experience. I admire the robustness of the 15300, I love the dial. But I prefer the 15202.

I like the 15300st more than any other RO

As you and others have said, there is a robustness to it. However it is still quite thin and sleek. I love the proportions, just perfect. But the biggest plus in its favour is the second hand. I just can’t get into a sport watch that doesn’t have one. Maj... 

I agree. To add...

The lack of a quick date changing mechanism and the difficult to change time with a hexagonal crown made it a constant annoyance plus horror stories about broken stems from inadvertent winding exercise definitely make a compelling case for a 15300.
