Battle of the Black Dive Watches: Sinn U1 S vs. Seiko Prospex SLA035 MM300 Watch Review (1010.020 vs. Marinemaster 300 SLA035/SBDX033)
Last year, I wrote a tongue-in-cheek piece declaring the Sinn U1 S "The Best Diving Watch Available." Seiko also makes a lot of strong contenders in the dive watch category. I recently picked up a Seiko MM300 diver that, on paper at least, is very comparable to the Sinn. So how does it compare?

Seiko Prospex Black Series Limited Edition "MarineMaster 300" Watch Review - SBDX033 SLA035
Of watches that that I've owned, Seiko is the brand name that shows up most often. Readers have followed my climb up the Seiko ladder. My next planned stop was the MM300, but I jumped a few levels to the Prospex LX Spring Drive. I had thought that I could skip over the MM300, but I could not get it out of my head, and finally purchased the SLA035.

Batman Battle: Rolex GMT Master II vs. Seiko Prospex LX Watch Review (116710BLNR vs. SNR041J1)

Seiko Prospex "62MAS" SBDC101 (SPB143) Watch Review
The Seiko divers that got us unto this hobby were so unconventional as to feel special despite their low price. You didn't feel like you were buying them because they were a cheaper look-alike of the watch you really wanted but couldn't afford. So does a more conventional and also more expensive Seiko diver still capture the charm that got us into this hobby?
