Thanks Eric! It’s going to be hard to consider most other watches as “tools” despite their features and ratings now haha. There’s so much actual engineering that they’ve done with the watch itself. The movement may be run of the mill but it’s practical and functional to not waste money and resources reworking a utilitarian movement.

@@StandardTime Das Unterwasser series take some beating … or is it Der ? ;(

Hahaha

Absolutely correct. Sinn customer service replied to me when I asked about the back play. This is intentional to clean the debris.

@@ericb8888 neither of that... it's "Die" ;)

Thanks mate! Massive congrats on your new acquisition :) such a fantastic one at that as well. Awesome that you went for the silicone, that’s my preferred choice as well. Cheers🍻

A fantastic watch! Hope you’re enjoying it 🍻

@@StandardTime yes I’m loving it. Thanks.

Thanks Werner!

Thanks Robert! It’s definitely a distinctive and cool offering :)

Thanks mate! I agree, that would work well!

Thanks Kyle, that really means a lot 😄

Thanks Elvin! I like the SDR too, the black provides a nice contrast :)

Thanks Josh! You’ve got a cool channel, just subscribed as well :)

@@StandardTime Thanks so much!

Thanks mate. Regarding sizing the bracelet, I can't recall well enough about how many links can be removed. I'm fairly certain it should work as your wrist is of seemingly ordinary proportions. However, I guess best option would be to ask Sinn directly, either through instagram as a dm or comment.

Thank you mate! Your comment made my day :)

Thanks Mark! Yeah there are three micro-adjust holes on the clasp from what I recall.

Thanks Johnny! I see how the thickness could be unfavourable. I never tried to fit this piece under a cuff so didn't notice that. Regarding the weight, I didn't feel that to influence the balance but I guess that depends entirely on how tight you wear the strap and whether there's a lot of traction between your wrist and the band.

@@StandardTime The balance I was referring to is strictly visual, nothing to do with the weight. It's just odd to have a thin cased sports watch, but then looking from the side the clasp is so thick comparatively.

@@johnnyguitar6697 ahhhh, yeah that makes sense!

Thanks mate, I appreciate it :)

It’s such a solid piece. Makes perfect sense for your use cases. I really like the strap dimensions on the U50, perhaps the U1 has it a bit thicker.

I'm sure it is thicker on the U1. And when I stated ''I don't have to worry about scratching it' I was referring to the tegmented steel (and I have the fully black coated mode. I forget what they cal their process) I'm more concerned with scrathing the motorcycles :))

Thanks Neil 😃

Thanks Eric! Yeah the U50 would feel a tad small on an 8” wrist. Makes sense that you sold the 16570 as well, that might’ve been quite small on your wrist!

Thanks and massive congratulations! All good on my end, just getting a bit busy. Working on a Panerai video which should be out now.

Thanks Stewart! Cool to hear you have actual professional application for tool watches :)

Thanks Lee! It's very hard to consider other watches as "tool watches" after examining this one.

Thanks mate, I appreciate it :)

Thanks mate!

I’m not sure about now, but when the video was made it was as I explained. Watch was sent in directly by Sinn from their headquarters in Frankfurt and that’s also where the information was clarified.

@@StandardTime Current factory prices with metal bracelets: U1= 2190€ U50= 2190€ UX= 2190€ U1 TEGIMENT= 2540€ U50 TEGIMENT= 2540€ UX TEGIMENT= 2540€ T1= 3010€ U212= 2650€ U2= 2590€ U2 TEGIMENT= 2940€ TEGIMENT is a process that makes the metal hard as ceramic and almost unscratchable. This term in the wach name means that the entire wach and bracelet have received this treatment, and are therefore more expensive then the standard version. But I suppose the prices stay the same for all the 3 standard models: U1, U50 and UX so that it’s easier to decide and so that no wach looks like its superior to the other. I also think that they made that so that a person with a small wrist doesn’t need to pick the big wach because its more expensive and later regret his choice. And that someone who likes the UX model doesn’t feel like he made an inferior choice because he didn’t pick an automatic or he bought a cheaper wach. This is what wach equality looks like 😂 Price source: sinn.de

Glad you enjoyed it!

It definitely is a keeper!

Haha, that's certainly your specific choice to make :) I guess watching a bunch of videos and comparing the two back and forth is not quite enough eh ;) If I planned to wear it on the bracelet I would go with the grey bezel. On the strap, I'd do black :)

@@StandardTime certainly not..... But I can't across a SDR owner on a forum, who bought an additional grey bezel.... Problem solved :D

Haha yes! That’s a perfect way of saying it.

I think it’s a great size actually because if you want larger, the U1 works for that.

It’s so damn good at everything it does. You hear tool watch thrown around a lot but I don’t think I’ve ever seen that being more relatable than with this piece.

Thanks mate! I haven’t experienced the U50 S but I would assume it to be some of the toughest coating available on a watch because this kind of tech is where Sinn does outstandingly well. The tegiment coating on this piece did not scratch at all in the 1 month that I wore it daily including active sports.

That’s just the Sellita movement. Unfortunately it can’t be mitigated :( I’m personally quite careful with my watches and I’ve got one with dual sided AR and I haven’t scratched it over the last 4 years luckily. So I guess it depends on person to person and how much of a tool you use it as.

Thanks mate I appreciate it :)

Thanks Alex!

It’s the first one ☝️. The discrepancy is too small to realistically account for profit I think.

Haha yes! kinda odd isn't it..

Right because 99% of dive watches don’t go diving. Unless you count desk diving where a date window is handy.

Thanks for watching! :)

Thanks!

Thanks mate!

Thanks Alex!

This one actually wears smaller than it seems, have you tried it on?

Thanks mate :)
