DOXA DOXA ArmyvsSinn UX S (EZM 2B)

The DOXA Army is widely praised for its compelling blend of vintage aesthetics and modern specifications, featuring a slim 11.95mm case with 300m water resistance and a unique inverted sector dial with aged lume. Reviewers highlight its versatile stainless steel case with radial brushing, scratch-resistant ceramic bezel, and comfortable beads-of-rice bracelet or FKM rubber strap. The black version is described as timelessly cool, while the green offers a unique, rugged aesthetic. The DOXA Army utilizes the reliable ETA 2824 movement and is priced at $2,050 and up. Some owners find the bronze version's mixed-metal look unappealing and question its price premium, while others appreciate the ceramic bezel. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the DOXA Army highly for its successful execution of vintage charm with modern materials and specifications.

The Sinn UX S (EZM 2B) is widely praised by owners for its exceptional toughness, scratch resistance, and unique oil-filled case that enhances legibility and wearability.

Criticisms include its significant weight, a poor-quality bracelet for the price, difficulty in strap changes, and a costly battery replacement process. Overall, owners rate the Sinn UX S (EZM 2B) highly for its indestructible, highly legible tool-watch capabilities at the price.
