"The U1 is Awesome!"
Posted by: James
Comments about this watch: Love the size and feel of this watch. Its hefty, but not overbearing. Never thought a rubber strap could wear so well and feel so solid. Easy to read dial. All in all a great watch, and amazingly accurate (like +2 sec/day). I definitely recommend this for anyone on the fence, you will be pleasantly surprised.

"Digging the U1"
Posted by: Ted
Comments about this watch: Picked up the U1 a couple of months ago after gawking at photos online. I'm drawn to dive watches, and this watch is really fantastic. Solid case, rubber band is perfect. Enjoying wearing this unique piece, and equally impressed with the purchase experience and communication from WatchBuys. These guys are great.

"Utilitarian monster"
Posted by: David Snow
Comments about this watch: The one word I keep coming back to is 'solid'. It's heavy, yes, but the proportions feel balanced and functional - it's not large for being large's sake. The crown turns smoothly with a satisfying amount of resistance and screws down firmly. There's a bit of play with the bezel - about 1/2 of a second's arc - if you mess with it, but it settles right into alignment the moment you stop playing with it, The 'clicks' as it rotates are a bit rough, and sound more like a muted thud rather than a shar... - more details
"U1 is now my favorite watch"
Posted by: Michael
Comments about this watch: The photos don't do it justice. The U1 is so comfortable I have to look to see if it is still on my wrist. By far it has replaced my Breitling watches and my Submariner as my favorite watch.
"Absolutely Love This Watch!!"

Comments about this watch: This watch is everything everyone says it is and more! I just love the way it looks on my wrist with a mesh bracelet, I get so many compliments on it. Tough as nails, still looks like new after 3 years.
"Movie stunt double - the watch survives!"
Posted by: Paul Lazenby
Comments about this watch: On a recent movie I was stunt-doubling for a famous actor, and had to grab another performer and run him through a wall. This actor saw that my watch looked nothing like his Sinn U1, so he gave me his, saying "I'll give you $100 if you can break that watch". Afterward, I was badly cut and the other man had a dislocated shoulder, but the Sinn U1 was unharmed. Nice to know that someone is still putting pride and effort into their products.
"Highly recommended Sinn diver!"
Posted by: Jerry Wang
Comments about this watch: The U1 is a tough watch that inspires confidence. The look of the watch is no-nonsense and it just feels purpose built in its heft and appearance. There's also a real high quality to it from the amazing silicone rubber strap and deployant to the great finish of the case, dial and hands. I own a lot of divers from various brands but there is just something about the U1 that is extremely appealing to me both aesthetically and functionally that not even some of my higher end divers can match. I've ... - more details
"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 i... - more details
"Great watch for the money!!!"
Posted by: Dickson L
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!"
Posted by: Tim A
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... - more details
