Sinn U1 vs Stowa Prodiver: Is there a winner?

[@trubadyr99]

The fact that this Sinn diver is fully tegamented is a big plus in my view. The video shows all the scratches on Stowa. Sometimes you'd need to pay lots of money for small improvements, but in this case, I think, the price difference is justified. I would probably consider the Stowa costing as much as Sinn if only it has been fully hardened to provide scratch resistance to be as good as Sinn has. I would also prefer the date window to be a "big date" and also wouldn't mind Stowa to be less water-resistant but shorter as a result. You see: 15 mm is much too tall in my view because all my water activities limited to swimming in a pool or very occasional snorkeling and even more seldom scuba diving. So, in such a case + tegamentation treatment, I would definitely choose it over this Sinn. Thumbs up for the video, man!

Thanks a lot. As of today I have more than 15 watches with a case hardening of Sinn or equal to it. This technology is so great and superior, I wish I had it on all my watches.

@@Watch-Maxe_En - I have been weighing out all the pluses and minuses of the fully hardened ones, the U50 vs. U1. I think that for my 7.25" wrist, the U1 would be too big; what do you think?

I have 6 3/4 and love the U1. But the U50 is the more handsome version. With 7 1/4 both will fit.
