Have had the 556i for six years...still love it - strap monster!

Came for the watch review and stayed for the shade thrown on the Tissot PRX range 😆

SINN IS AMAZING

I know this site is pointed at 6” wrists but anyone looking for a slightly larger version check out the 836, I’ve got a couple of 556 i’s but my go to Sinn is the 836 (19cm wrist) . Clean dial, legible, tegimented case, date at 6. Liked your comment on the PRX it is a good value proposition though.

my daily driver do it all jack of all trades is the 104, but the 556 is still calling my name

I agree 1🎯🎯% about Sinn being the final boss of watch wearing, and it IS love/hate. I got my 104 St Sa (anthracite/H-link) last June. I have about 50 other watches, all of which i got bc something abouth them brings me happiness- i really like them. But the watch I wear out every day is my 104. Its great but its annoying, too, having dozens of bow dwellers collecting dust, especially 1-of-1 mods. But the Sinn dominates them. Typed while wearing my 104, browsing 556 content. I'm ordering my next Sinn this June from the US AD. Mine will be a 556i RS on H-link. I've had it in my cart more than once and have been watching 556 content for months, now...its TIME! Before the price creeps up again, +1600 USD now😐 Edit: Great vid, BTW. New sub. Keep up the simple, straightforward, gimmick-free content 👍

Appreciate the love!

Love mamacoo the way you show it! You really focus on showing off the bag. I don't think any other KZreadr can show off bags in as much detail as you.

I never had a Sinn before and recently bought 104 from pre-owned market and I can completely agree to everything you have just said. The watch just made me question all other watches in my collection. Most of them are around 500 mark but just started to think do I really need them and have started to consolidate. Just a fantastic company and fantastic option for a true "one-watch collection". Thanks for sharing. Loved your insights! 😊

It is a very nice watch. But I found my self looking at, and then buying, the Damasko DS30.

Sinn UX S is an absolute unit of a watch.

Been eyeing a 556a for a few years now for many of the same reasons you give for the i. Im just a sucker for Arabics. Well done video. Thanks!

What a durable watch! Love the video

Great watch, I own also Hanhart Pioneer Preventor 9 and FAVRE-LEUBA Sky Chief Date, both could be interesting alternative. I did own and then sold 3 PRX in the meanwhile.

I've been eyeing the Hanhart chrono in 39mm, slightly out of budget at the moment.

I have to agree with you. It is a fantastic watch and I own 3 out of the 4 colorful editions they released 2 years ago. However, I wish they improve their clasps and provide half links or some sort of micro adjustment because I cannot find perfect fit for my wrist size. Also, I wsih they use applied hour markers for the black version. It will really elevate the watch. For alternatives, christopher ward 12 is a strong contender, Monta noble, straum, direnzo and doxa sub 200 are just few examples of excellent watches in the same price range that offer excellent value and awesome user experience

The clasp is starting to show it's age when other competitors now have on-the-fly micro adjustments, like you mentioned the CW and even Monta. Both of which will be an upcoming video so stay tuned!

Hey mate, are you living in Syd? Good to see a local making some good watch reviews.

Indeed I am, appreciate the love!

This is my first real watch i owned and my favourite of all time. It has such a robust and toolish case, a bracelet so comfortabel and a stunning, clean and endless deep black dial. Not a fan of exhibition casebacks but there is nothing 100% perfect i guess

@SixiwWatches

Ай бұрын

It's hard to beat, even if the bracelet is a little outdated compared to what everyone else is putting out nowadays. Truly a timeless watch.

Nice review. The watch is a masterpiece of minimalist design (including the slim and perfectly efficient clasp.) I love my 556 and would never part with it.

I like Sinns, I have yet to pull the trigger, mainly because, unlike you, I have a 7.5 inch wrists, so I think that it'd be a touch small for me. You make the point about tegimenting, this watch does not have it and it does not have any of their other hi-tec features like moisture capture, but it does have negative pressure features. The other reason I won't get one is because the rival Damasko DS30 model is slimmer, even better made and has more tech features, including submarine steel, with better corrosion resistance, better crown system (they used to make case for Sinn) and better scratch resistance. However, the 5561 is more handsome and can be dressed up better. In the UK, you can buy straight from Germany, but you have to pay import and postage. We only have a couple of stores in the UK for Sinn, that is an issue for me, because I will never know if it suits me, because the stores are in excess of 400 miles away.The case looks nice, with it's brushed finish, but it does show up dings and scratches. So I am conflicted to the point that I will probably never buy one. It is definitely not underrated, there are so many reviews of this watch, but then I, like you, like Sinns and I am a keen watch enthusiast, so the reviews come looking for me! lol. Have a look at other Germans..... Damasko (DS30), Hanhart, Archimede and Laco. Good review. I fancy a Sinn U50, but it won't dress up like the 556, just wish I had slightly smaller wrists.

@SixiwWatches

Ай бұрын

I actually had the Damasko DS30, and to be honest it's a better watch than the Sinn, and it's cheaper. The slimness really shines through and the DS30 has a much better wearing experience. I really only sold it because I was offered a deal I couldn't refuse, given they were even more difficult to obtain than the Sinn a couple of years back. You're the only person I know who wished for a smaller wrists 😆 - wanna swap? I appreciate the love!

Longines Spirit Titanium 40mm 👌

Have yet to try one, almost pulled the trigger on the 37mm.

In my opinion the Sinn 556i is restrained and tasteful compared to the Rolex Explorer. In person the metallic numeraIs seem disturbingly big and gaudy on the Rolex, more like a pretend explorer. I have the Sinn 104 and keep thinking about the 556i and the U50.

According to the information of the SINN home page do they ship worldwide. (for 120,-€)

@SixiwWatches

Ай бұрын

Well that's not going to be good for my wallet - here's hoping shipping is ridiculously expensive.

I’ll give you 5 reasons why it’s not, starting with that trash movement and the helicopter rotor issue. Had it on both of my 556i’s. Drove me nuts until I finally took my losses and got rid of them.

If you know anything about watches, you would read Sinn and not actually think it's under $200. Enjoy your Chinese homage watches.

@@A_Dude_And_His_Watch78 that´s the thing. Are people looking for a brand and talk them self into having made a good deal or can you enjoy quality by itself. maybe homages have no original design (mostly) but they can definitely be great watches. But everyone needs to find their flavour of watches

I freaking love this watch. But I would also say that Longines Spirit 37mm would be a good contender for a three handed under 2,000USD. Sinn - for minimalists, Longines - for a little bit more bling.

I'm with @MrPINKFL0YD here, mines keeping pretty good time. Although it's no secret that the occasional service (if you need you send it back to Sinn) is quite expensive for a Sellita.

Agreed. An in-house movement to compliment the incredible technologies Sinn has developed, but it seems only for their cases, moisture control and lubrication, would be the icing on the cake. If that was too expensive to develop then approach companies like Kenissi and use theirs, they are definitely a cut or 3 above Sellita. That for me would complete the Sinn statement. Still love their watches!

meh, watch collecting for 2 years, absolutely zero interest in Sinn

is it 2k in the states?? it’s 1k in europe. 🫣 I sold mine after a year. great no nonsense watch but it’s incredible boring. the sw200 elaboré was regulated to chrono ratings so no need to criticize the movement.
