What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Grand Seiko SBGZ003

Grand Seiko SBGZ003 owners and reviewers widely praise its classic 38.5mm x 9.8mm dimensions and the meticulous perfection of its craft, with some calling it the sexiest Grand Seiko ever seen. The Spring Drive caliber 9R02 offers an 84-hour power reserve. Some find the dial's color off-putting, and the $57,000 price is a significant barrier for many. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Grand Seiko SBGZ003 highly for its stunning "carved" dial and Micro Artist Studio finishing.

Cincinnati Watch Company Union Terminal Mechanical

Owners praise the Cincinnati Watch Company Union Terminal Mechanical for its striking design and historical significance, particularly for Cincinnati natives. One owner highlights its suitability as a dress watch, finding it wears well on a leather strap. The watch is noted for its colors and design inspired by the Union Terminal clock, with a portion of sales supporting the landmark. At just over $350, it is considered a good value despite not featuring a high-end movement, strap, or crystal. Overall, owners rate the Cincinnati Watch Company Union Terminal Mechanical highly for its unique design and local historical connection at an accessible price point.
