What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Sinn 6012

The Sinn 6012 is a handsome, complicated chronograph featuring five dial-side complications, including a moon phase, built on a modified ETA 7751 movement. Reviewers note its clean dial offers good legibility, though one wished for a red accent on the date pointer. One long-time enthusiast considers the Frankfurt series, including the 6012, to be overpriced. The 14.5mm thickness makes it a slightly tall dress option. Overall, owners and reviewers find the Sinn 6012 to be a well-executed, complicated chronograph, with the primary reservation being its perceived value.

Lorier Hydra SIII

Owners and reviewers praise the Lorier Hydra SIII for its value, GMT functionality via the Miyota 9075 movement, and classic travel-diver aesthetics. Some reviewers note the finishing is simple or a tad rough around the edges, while others find it good for the price. Accuracy figures range from +7 to +8.5 seconds per day. The domed Hesalite crystal may exhibit distortion. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Lorier Hydra SIII highly for its feature set and value proposition in a travel-diver format.
