Owner review: Sinn U50-T

I was looking for a toolish dive watch that wasn’t just an homage that looked like so many other dive watches. I’ve been a fan of Sinn’s aesthetics and their watches in general (after owning a few over the years). Although I have always been partial to the U1, I could never get comfortable with…

Owner review: Sinn 8820 – Maybe the most underrated diving watch

The Sinn 8820 was the first new, mechanical watch I ever purchased. I have, however, sold it in the meantime, but maybe my experience is of value for some of you anyway. The Sinn 8820 also was (as far as I know) the first titanium watch from Sinn, released shortly after Lothar Schmidt took over…

Owner Review: Sinn 105 UTC – truly modern moderism

Start with a Sinn 104 and strip away all the fluff; the polish, the gloss, the fancy hands and leave just a no-nonsense piece of industrial design intended to tell you the time in the easiest, brightest and lightest way and you’ve got the Sinn 105 UTC. This watch has (almost) nothing it doesn’t need…

Owner Review: Sinn 103 St

I discovered the Sinn 103 St almost ten years ago, around the time of my first watch loves. I was hungry to learn as much as I could about watches, especially chronographs and military watches. What I also loved about Sinn watches was the fact that they were not using extensive marketing bullshit to make…

Owner Review: Sinn 104 ST SA

I bought the Sinn 104 ST SA from a famous Youtuber. I watched him lust over it in his reviews and to be honest, so did I. Then it came up for sale and I didn’t hesitate to buy it. And I havent regretted it since! This watch is a strap magnet and looks superb…

Owner Review: Sinn 857 UTC TESTAF

The single watch that provides everything we want in a timepiece remains elusive for those who love watches. If forced to limit myself to a single timepiece, my choice would be the versatile Sinn 857 UTC TESTAF for three reasons. 1) Legibility As a pilot watch, the Sinn 857 features my favorite dial design, styled…

Owner Review: Sinn 900 Flieger – At home on land, under water and in the air

In my small portfolio, the Sinn 900 Flieger («pilot») is the oldest and one of the first «proper» watches I ever bought. And for me, the 900F is still one of the hottest watches in the Sinn range. The 900F has a very clean and uncluttered face, while still offering a lot of information: a…

Take a dive into our picks from the 1990’s. These are some of the under appreciated and nearly vintage watches that deserve a bit more attention. Some are starting to shoot up in value and they are definitely off the beaten track and into the world of different and quirky. Alex cheated and didn’t follow…

Owner Review: Sinn 104 – one of the best value tool watches

Is the Sinn 104 still one of the best value tool watches on the market right now? The Sinn 104 is a pretty close to entry-level piece from German watchmaking powerhouse Sinn. Aimed at the tool watch user and with a distinct aviator vibe, with more than a touch of dive watch to its aesthetic…
