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 1970

Owners widely praise the Dan Henry 1970 for its striking looks, particularly the art deco hands and fantastic crystal. The 44mm size is noted as a drawback for wrists under 7 inches, and one owner reported strap change marks inside the lugs and a small mark on the clasp. The watch features a 41-hour power reserve and 200-meter water resistance. Overall, owners rate the Dan Henry 1970 highly for its distinctive vintage-inspired design and value at $295.

Timefactors SMITHS NATO PRS-40 AUTOMATIC

Owners widely praise the Timefactors SMITHS NATO PRS-40 AUTOMATIC for its unique, "badass," rugged, and futuristic design, with some finding its "ugly" aesthetic appealing for its bombproof nature. The Seiko 6R15 movement winds smoothly and operates quietly, and the watch features 100m water resistance and a flat sapphire crystal. The 12 o'clock crown is noted as easy to use by rolling, and the fixed lugs necessitate NATO straps. Some owners report issues with Timefactors' ordering system and customer service, and one found a speck of dust under the crystal, though another noted no imperfections. Overall, owners rate the Timefactors SMITHS NATO PRS-40 AUTOMATIC highly for its distinctive "beater" watch build and unique aesthetic at the price.
