Sinn U1 Camo Watch Review and Comparison to Sinn U1 S

Sinn U1 Camouflage Watch Review and Comparison to Sinn U1 S

Nick Lehner

Recently I wrote about how I believe that the Sinn U1 S is the best diving watch. If you’ve been following the StrapHabit blog since the beginning, you might also remember that I named the U1 Camouflage the 5th best watch to wear during the apocalypse. I hadn’t actually handled the “Camo” in person, but I really liked the look of it in photos. As luck would have it, a friend...

Synchron Military Watch Review, Black Edition

Nick Lehner

Fast forwarding to 2021, the new Synchron company released an homage to the original Synchron-made Doxa Army called the Synchron Military. Almost immediately after its release, the Doxa brand released an image of its original Army, hinting at a future re-release, and firing shots at Synchron.

Autodromo Group B Series 2 Automatic Watch Review

Autodromo Group B Series 2 Automatic Watch Review

A racing watch is a different thing from a car watch. A car watch sometimes isn't even a chronograph, but typically features styling cues taken from a car. Perhaps it has a fake redline from a rev counter across the dial. Car watches are difficult to execute well, but I’m reviewing a car watch anyway. It’s the Autodromo Group B. My favorite from the popular microbrand.

Seiko Prospex "62MAS" SBDC101 (SPB143) Watch Review

Nick Lehner

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?
