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 1937

On balance, owners have mixed feelings about the Dan Henry 1937, with some finding its dial less appealing than expected while others praise its understated military aesthetic.

From video reviewers

The Dan Henry Gold 1962 Racing Chronograph features a mecha-quartz movement, specifically the Seiko VK63, which is appreciated by reviewers. The watch's two-tone steel and yellow gold finish may be a "hit or miss" from Dan Henry, suggesting it may not be universally well-received. Reviewers disagree on whether the mecha-quartz movement is a drawback, with one reviewer noting it may not appeal to those seeking a purely mechanical movement, while others may not have mentioned this as a concern.

Boldr Safari

Owners widely praise the Boldr Safari for its attractive dials, robust build with 200 meters of water resistance, and reliable Seiko movements. The California dial design is a frequent highlight, as is the strong lume. Some owners note the GMT variant offers full GMT functionality, while others point out the movement's date-only nature on certain models leads to a vestigial crown position. The animal artwork on the display caseback is a point of contention, with some finding it detracts from the view of the movement. Overall, owners rate the Boldr Safari highly for its value and distinctive design elements.
