What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Astor + Banks AB Clásico

The Astor + Banks Silver is praised for its nice finishing on the case and dial, with a nice texture on the dial. The watch's lug-to-lug fit is relatively slim, making it comfortable to wear. A weakness of the watch is its lume, which could be a bit brighter.

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.
