"Perfect combate watch!"

Posted by: G. Minze

Comments about this watch: Absolutely the toughest watch I have ever owned. accurate, strong and water proof. I rate it along with Rolex, Breitling, and Tag...consider it tougher than the aforementioned watches. My only complaint is the cost of the steel band, I don't think it is over priced just an added cost. I also purchased the water proof leather band made as a replacement for this fine watch......AAA for the U1 I own other fine watches but this is the most wearable due to its tough as nails construction. I used it in Law Enforcement where it took a beating on occasion, not a mark on it.

Comments about this watch: I've received lots of compliments on this watch. Got both the rubber strap and SS bracelet. Rubber strap is very comfortable. You won't be afraid to wear this everyday! WatchBuys service is top notch even to Canadians!

"Robust!"

Comments about this watch: No matter what I am doing, I never worry about my Sinn U1. It can take dropping, banging, being soaked in oil and still comes up without missing a beat. I have owned three other Sinns and many Omegas. This watch is the most dependable and most unique that I have owned. Easily dollar for dollar the best watch I have ever owned.

"Sinn U1"

Posted by: John Wagner

Comments about this watch: I've been collecting watches for many years, especially divers and I have to say the Sinn U1 ranks up there with the best. Love the sub steel look and durability, the dial is unique from a distance and extremely legible. Movement is very accurate over the past several weeks gaining about 1 sec per day. Rubber strap is very comfortable and the 44mm case is comfortable due to the off set crown. All around great diver watch!

"Watch Saved My Life!"

Posted by: Oliver G.

Comments about this watch: I bought the Sinn U1 while in Singapore for a ship repair. I had never heard of the Sinn brand, but I was impressed with the build quality and the uniqueness of the watch. The thick rubber band saved me this last summer while shucking oysters! The knife slipped and went straight through the band, stopping at my wrist! I highly recommend the Sinn line to anyone. I also have a vintage Rolex Submariner Date and a new Rolex Explorer II, but I find the Sinn U1 to be the most unique and interesting of my watches.

"Awesome watch!"

Comments about this watch: There are a number of reasons I love this watch. 1. Build and quality is superb. I wanted a watch that can take any abuse in daily wear yet remaining comfortable on my wrist. The rubber band is super comfortable. In fact I wore it to sleep on a first day without noticing it's there. 2. Accurate and Reliable automatic movement. While wearing it I don't feel the "winding" experience like any other automatic movement. 3. Perfect size. I have a small wrist 6.5" yet 44mm (lug to lug) x 15mm (height) is very proportional in this size. I have Panerai 111 which is also 44mm in size but compared to Sinn U1 44mm I feel I wear U1 like a 42mm and that's fine to me. I have to shorten the rubber straps all the way both sides leaving only 1 pin on a side. Please do google how to shorten U1 rubber strap before you shorten yours first so you don't make any mistake and be patient. The buckle has an extended snap for wearing over the diving suit, I find it a very cool feature. Straps can easily changed. You will have a lot of options like Panerai straps with 22mm lugs when you got bored with OEM straps. 4. Affordable. At this price range for a German U-boat steel, unique and minimalist design, I love it. I chose U1 over U2 because it does not have other Sinn hightech features that need to do maintenance later. I would buy this again if it's got stolen or lost (knock on woods!). I can see I wear it for a long time. 5. Watchbuys is an authorized dealer for Sinn. I know it's authentic. Fast shipping and smooth transaction as well. I would buy with Watchbuys again. All in all, I love my Sinn U1. I would highly recommend it if you are looking for a quality, reliable, good-looking watch at an affordable price.

"Awesome!"

Comments about this watch: I just received the U1 today.  All of the pics I've seen don't do the watch justice. I'm totally amazed, Tim, Rob and Matt are top notch. The transaction was as smooth as silk and delivery was right on time. WatchBuys and staff are a class act and will be hearing from me again.

"Amazing!!!"

Comments about this watch: I purchased my first U1 last year and stupidly flipped it. Purchased my second U1 yesterday and it is all I remember it was. A very solid, well made very comfortable German watch. With arguably the most unique watch face out there.

"Two years on my wrist"

Comments about this watch: For once I bought an automatic watch that is easy to to set and is very accurate and indestructable. It is quite scratch resistant and the ruber band is still holding up.

"Shockingly awesome watch"

Comments about this watch: Great solid watch with more technology than any other diver watch besides the Sinn U2. Although not a chronometer it runs like one. Very pleased.

"Workmanship"

Comments about this watch: Just got my U1 today and I was blown away by how well thought and well made this watch is, I came in with high expectations but having never seen a U1 (or Sinn for that matter) in person it handily beat my expectations. great watch, great company. (other watches Rolex Subdate & Panerai 111)
