Sinn 556 I on Bracelet

"Sinn 556: a great way to get started on your collection"

Posted by: Michael

Comments about this watch: The Sinn 556 turned out to be exactly what I wanted: a clean-looking and well-priced basic mechanical watch. This was my first mechanical watch and I'm looking forward to doing buiness with WatchBuys for my next watch (which I've already picked out!)

"Great Watch and Great Service"

Posted by: Frank Blakeman

Comments about this watch: This watch is astounding in its simplicity and presence on the wrist. Great service and shipping from Rob and Matt. It is a pleasure and a privilege to do business with these folks. At 38.5mm, the watch fits perfectly on my 7 3/4" wrist. I love the stick hour markers and the simple to read dial in daylight or dark. Highly recommend the watch and this company. NOMOS Tangomat (38.5mm) and/or NOMOS Club Automatic is my next goal. Thanks again for the great service, consultation time and shipping (s... - more details

"Finely detailed watch"

Comments about this watch: I bought a 556I from Watchbuys in Jan13. Here are my initial impressions. Watchbuys was great, professional, pleasant to talk with, responsive and performed all tasks as scheduled. Packaging, first-rate. The watch itself is exactly as hoped - classic, elegant, and well-designed and made. The steel bracelet had some issues. In shortening the bracelet per Sinn's instructions, two of the screws came out readily and properly, two didn't (too tightly glued/screwed in) so I had to take it to a jeweler... - more details

"Sinn 556 - Perfect first Sinn"

Posted by: Michael T

Comments about this watch: For the longest time I struggled over my first Sinn: the 556I or 556A. When the package arrived, I was pleasantly surprised and glad I chose the Sinn 556I. The Sinn 556I at first glance is handsome and as legible as others have said. The piece wears well on my 6.5" circumference wrist and its white-to- black contrast dial makes it legible from a distance perfection in a 38.5 mm case package. I wholeheartedly recommend this piece for any first time Sinner.

Comments about this watch: Sharp Watch,understated elegance,Extreme legibility, suits almost any occasion. You will receive compliments only from real watch lovers. The regulars might think it is very minimalist at best. Daily wearer and Keeper for sure. Very accurate too.

"Very Classy"

Comments about this watch: The 556 looks amazing. The gloss black dial goes nicely with the bold white markers and hands. The proportions are perfect and the case has a great brushed finish. The bracelet is simple yet robust.

"First Automatic"

Comments about this watch: After lots of research I pulled the trigger and bought the 556 I. It did not take long to choose the 556 I over the 556 A. Like the minimalist dial. This is my first "nice" watch and have been very pleased with it although I've only had it for two days. It appears that the watch has gone up in price quite a bit over the last few years but after my research I still think its a great deal when compared to a Xetum or others. I've wanted a Seamaster for years but honestly prefer the minimalist desig... - more details

"A (somewhat) unexpected surprise..."

Posted by: Doug

Comments about this watch: I had read a number of reviews about Sinn watches, and had come to understand that in the world of non-manufacture watches, they were about as good as you could get. As the first entre into my Sinn purchases, I chose the 556I. I am 58 and have found that some of the watches I have are very trendy, but really don't sit well on the wrist. (2 Oris's and a Cartier). This watch feels perfect,especially with the deployant clasp installed. The dial is the absolutely the most legible that I have seen. K... - more details

Comments about this watch: This is a great all around watch. Fine build quality to this piece. The watch has a beautiful yet simple ink black dial that is both easy to read and flat out cool. The anti reflective coating on the sapphire crystal gives off flashes of blue at certain angles . . . very cool. The satin or brushed case and bracelet are very well done. The watch works well with a suit to jeans with a t-shirt. If I could only have one . . . ahh . . . that's not going to happen! Buy it!

"Clean"

Posted by: Ricardo K

Comments about this watch: Look around the Internet and everyone who owns or has owned this watch will agree: it's beautiful. This watch has become my new daily and will stay in the collection. The manufacturing on the 556 is top notch and after an incredibly detailed examination of all aspects, I'd say it is definitely worth the asking price. I LOVE IT.

"Only the essentials"

Posted by: Kevin G

Comments about this watch: I got this watch about 6 months ago & couldn't be happier. I wear it daily. The design is simple and elegant. The band does get scuffed up through daily use, but that doesn't bother me. I don't mind the subtle signs of wear. The anti-reflection coating on the glass does show fingerprints very easily, but the tradeoff is a glass that's virtually invisible (when clean). Very pleased with my purchase.

"STUNNING Watch!"

Posted by: Craig Behnke

Comments about this watch: Just received it, first review. I am very impressed and more than pleased with my decision to buy a Sinn watch. Incredibly high quality for the $. The fit, finish, and quality of materials are all among the highest I have seen in watches costing up to twice as much. I went over the case, band, clasp, crown, and movement with a very discerning eye and can report that no shortcuts on quality were taken. Some well known brand watches seem to skip the important details of making the ENTIRE watch wit... - more details

"Good Choice"

Posted by: PM

Comments about this watch: Nice simple face, compares favorably to a Rolex Datejust, though in a better size & without the eyesore cyclops. The satin finish works well and makes it look like a more expensive watch. My only complaint is that after 1 week of everyday wear the bracelet clasp is all scratched up. Next time I'll go for a Tegimented Sinn version.
