Battle of the Black Dive Watches: Sinn U1 S vs. Seiko Prospex SLA035 MM300 Watch Review (1010.020 vs. Marinemaster 300 SLA035/SBDX033)

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?

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.

I wished for an upscale version of the original Casioak, and G-Shock has finally made it! Read about the full and mid-size metal Casio G-Shock GMS2100 and GMAS2100 and how they compare to the resin GA2100 and GM2100.

Tawbury Bayswater 12 Slot Watch Box Review

Nick Lehner

If you've ever tried to buy a watch box, you might have experienced the same thing as I have. Most watch boxes fall into one of two categories: cheap and crappy, or very expensive. The other challenge is finding one that has a storage drawer (critical for a strap addict like myself), and that stores the right number of watches.
