What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Dan Henry 1970

Owners widely praise the Dan Henry 1970 for its striking looks, particularly the art deco hands and fantastic crystal. The 44mm size is noted as a drawback for wrists under 7 inches, and one owner reported strap change marks inside the lugs and a small mark on the clasp. The watch features a 41-hour power reserve and 200-meter water resistance. Overall, owners rate the Dan Henry 1970 highly for its distinctive vintage-inspired design and value at $295.

Sinn U18

The Sinn U18 is praised for its unique deep blue/green dial with three-dimensional oxygen bubbles that change with light, and its comfortable, easily adjustable bracelet. Owners find the watch stunning and a piece of history, appreciating the refined hands. The Sinn U18 features a 44mm, 15.5mm thick case made from German submarine steel, offering a 2000-meter dive specification and Sinn's Ar-Dehumidifying technology, powered by a Sellita SW300-1 movement. The case thickness is apparent, and the watch comes as a complete set with box and papers for $3,000-$3,680. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Sinn U18 highly for its striking dial and robust build.
