What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Ikepod Skypod SK01

The Ikepod Skypod SK01 features a 46mm titanium case and a La Joux-Perret 8103 automatic movement with GMT functionality. Reviewers praise its updated design over the original model. However, one owner describes the watch as "crap AF," referencing prior discussions about similar issues. Overall, owners and reviewers are split on the Ikepod Skypod SK01, with significant criticism overshadowing praise for its updated design.

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.
