Product Details

The Sinn 104 I has become one of the best selling watches in the company's history.

This watch design takes Sinn back to its roots - a simple design without clutter and without gimmicks. Although this watch has design cues from chronograph watches, it is not a chronograph but rather a time, day, date and rotating bezel watch.

And to make things even more interesting the date display alternates between German and English if you are trying to brush up on your German language skills.

Despite the aggressive pricing on this watch, Sinn has taken no shortcuts. The base movement is chronometer grade equivalent, sapphire crystals are used on both sides, and the look and finish of the case leave no doubt that it's a Sinn.

This pilot's watch features a highly legible matte black dial, and the watch is water resistant to 200 meters. The ratcheting bezel is of Sinn's design and will not snap off the case if hit due to its screwed bezel construction.

This watch has become a true Sinn classic in a very short amount of time.


  • Case made of stainless steel, polished
  • Captive pilot's bezel with minute ratcheting
  • Sapphire crystal glass on both sides
  • Water resistant to 200 meters
  • English and German day display
  • Low pressure resistant
  • Sinn dark brown vintage calf leather strap

WatchBuys is the official and authorized North American distributor and importer for Sinn watches.

When you purchase your new Sinn watch from WatchBuys, you'll not only get a finely engineered timepiece with excellent value for money, you'll also benefit from the WatchBuys Sinn Advantage.


WatchBuys Advantage #1

Because we are the official and authorized North American Sinn distributor and importer, your name and watch serial number will be automatically registered in our database for a Sinn manufacturer's limited warranty which we pass through.

This means that should your watch require service during the Sinn manufacturer's limited warranty period, service will be provided by Sinn in Germany when you return your watch to them. This Sinn manufacturer's limited warranty is transferable to subsequent owners as allowed by Sinn.

You are responsible for paying the shipping charges to Sinn, and all repairs that Sinn approves under its warranty are at no charge. Sinn will also pay the return shipping charges to the address you specify.

The Sinn manufacturer's limited warranty period is as follows:
  • Watches in the EZM Series: 3 years
  • Watches marked AR containing inert gas: 3 years
  • Watches in the DIAPAL Series: 5 years
  • All other Sinn models: 2 years

WatchBuys Advantage #2

As an added benefit to those who purchase Sinn watches from WatchBuys, you may choose to have your warranty repairs serviced through our US Sinn Authorized Service Center, RGM Watch Service located in Mount Joy, Pennsylvania. This added benefit saves our clients the time and effort of returning their watches to Germany for repair. This service is transferable to subsequent owners who purchase directly from the original registered owner.

Please note that you are responsible for paying shipping and insurance charges for sending your watch to RGM. Once they reach your watch in the service queue they will determine which repairs are covered under Sinn's warranty.

It is important to note that oil-filled quartz Sinn watches must be repaired in Germany (EZM 2, Hydro and UX series). If your watch meets one of these conditions and requires service under warranty, please click here for instructions on returning your watch to Sinn in Germany.


WatchBuys Advantage #3

Your watch will be repaired at no cost to you other than shipping charges to either Sinn or RGM during the warranty period. Sinn watches purchased through the "grey market" (non-authorized sources) may carry no warranty from Sinn. Sinn watches purchased through authorized overseas retailers are governed by the warranty policies of those dealers and/or Sinn, and typically must be sent to either the overseas dealer or Germany for repair.


WatchBuys Advantage #4

You'll be wearing your new Sinn watch soon after your order is placed since we stock Sinn watches and ship free using UPS Air. Plus, since we are located in the United States, there are no "hidden charges" for shipments to US residents as is the case with most overseas dealers. Such charges can add up to 15% to the cost of your new watch, and include credit card surcharges, foreign exchange credit card bank fees, import duties and taxes, and custom's broker charges.


WatchBuys Advantage #5

WatchBuys offers a comprehensive return policy with no restocking fees to US residents. Overseas dealers, including those involved in the grey market, typically don't offer a return policy, and if they do, returning a watch under the policy is both complicated and expensive due to import/export and custom's requirements. Restocking fees are also common and may range up to 15%.

Learn more about our return policies.


WatchBuys Advantage #6

WatchBuys is pleased to accept payments through PayPal, debit and credit cards. We charge no surcharges to use credit or debit cards, and because we are based in the United States your US card is charged in US dollars with no conversion or exchange rate fees.

We also accept payments from PayPal and charge no surcharges.

Please note that to pay by credit card, debit card or PayPal your account and/or card must be issued by US or Canadian financial institution and billed to a confirmed US or Canadian address.


WatchBuys Advantage #7

When you purchase your new Sinn watch from WatchBuys, you'll earn WatchPoint Rewards which accumulate and may be redeemed against future purchases.




Sinn watches feature a number of cutting edge technologies, many of which are unique to Sinn. Please note that not all Sinn watches, including the watch on this page, use all of these Sinn technologies.

Among the more notable Sinn technologies are:


Tegimented Hardened Cases

Many Sinn watches are fitted with Tegimented cases produced in-house by Sinn's case making affiliated company in Glashutte, Germany.

Standard steel used by most watch companies has a hardness of between 200 and 240 HV (Hardness Vickers is a common scale used to measure material hardness). The Tegiment process produces a hardness of at least 1,200 Vickers which is five times harder than standard steel (and on some Sinn models up to nine times harder than standard steel).

The Tegiment process is not a coating consisting of a foreign material; instead the steel itself that has been hardened using a special engineering process that creates a hardened barrier. The base material is a type of stainless steel also used for surgical implants, and the stainless steel resistance to corrosion is further improved by the Tegiment hardening process.

The primary advantages to a Tegimented case are extreme resistance to scratches and other case abrasions, as well as increased resistance to corrosion.

Please note that certain Sinn watches are fully Tegimented (case, bezel) while others are Tegimented only on the bezel. Use the links below to view both categories.

  • View Sinn watches with fully Tegimented cases.

  • View Sinn watches with Tegimented bezels only.


Dehumidification Technology

A number of Sinn models feature cases filled with inert gas. Sinn has found that filling the case with inert gas can help prevent the introduction of moisture and humidity to the case, as well as provide a more stable environment for the oils that lubricate the movement.

The proper care of any mechanical watch movement mandates that these oils maintain both their viscosity and lubrication properties.

  • View Sinn watches with dehumidification technology.


Copper Sulphate Capsules

A number Sinn models use one or more copper sulphate capsules to absorb humidity trapped inside the case. Over time these capsules will gradually turn dark blue indicating that humidity has been absorbed.

The primary benefit to these copper sulphate capsules is a more dry and stable environment for both the movement and the lubricating oils. Together with Sinn's inert gas treatment these capsules form the basis of Sinn's Dry Hold Technology.

This technology not only provides a more stable environment for the movement, but also prevents fogging of the crystal when going from hot to cold environments or from humid to non-humid conditions (such air conditioned buildings).

  • View Sinn watches with copper sulphate capsules.


Extreme Antimagnetic Protection

Magnetism can cause dramatic swings in the timekeeping of a mechanical watch movement. People are often exposed to magnetic fields without even being aware - frequent high altitude flying, metal detectors, audio and video equipment, medical equipment and computer equipment can all cause problems with magnetism.

Many Sinn watches offer extreme protection against magnetism up to 80,000 A/m. Sinn achieves these results using a number of different technologies, including special case and case back construction, soft iron components in the case and protective rings surrounding the movement.

  • View Sinn watches with extreme antimagnetic protection.


DIAPAL Oil Free Escapement

Sinn caused quite a stir when they first released their DIAPAL technology. Beginning in 1995, Sinn began work to create an oil free escapement. With any mechanical watch movement, the aging of oil, especially in the escapement can create long term problems for that movement. Additionally, as movement oil ages, required service intervals become more frequent.

Sinn's early analysis to this problem provided a quick solution (at least in theory) - if you don't use oil, it can't age. The process began by exchanging the ruby escapements for diamonds (the word "DIAPAL" derives from the German name for diamond escapements) in order to achieve the desired effect. The designation stuck, even though today Sinn works with solutions taken from advanced nanotechnology rather than diamonds.

The result is a movement that proves so reliable that Sinn offers an unprecedented five year warranty on their DIAPAL watches.

  • View Sinn watches featuring the DIAPAL oil free escapement.


Hydro Oil Filled Technology

Sinn has developed a technology termed "Hydro" in which the entire watch case is filled with oil. Watches using this technology are based on quartz rather than mechanical movements.

By using this type of movement, Sinn is able to fill the watch with oil, which has the joint affect of greatly enhancing the readability of the dial and time from any angle (including under water), and increasing the water resistance of the watch even at great depths.

  • View Sinn watches with Hydro Oil Filled technology.


Submarine Steel

Sinn has created a line of watches featuring cases made from German submarine steel (the U Series). The steel was procured by Sinn from a steel supplier to Emden GmbH, one of Germany's North Sea shipbuilding yards who construct submarines from the very same steel.

Because of the special steel used from the submarine steelmanufacturer, the case resists the effects of exposure to salt waterand salt water environments.

These cases are produced in-house by Sinn's case making affiliated company in Glashutte, Germany.

This special steel is also amagnetic which means that is does not have magnetic properties and cannot itself become magnetized. The watch movement itself is protected from magnetic fields up to 4,800 A/m.

  • View Sinn watches built from German submarine steel.



EZM Mission Timers

Sinn is a partner for manufacturing watches for the German Special Forces, including SWAT, Customs, FBI, helicopter police, GSG9 and other units.

Beginning with the now highly collectible (and valuable) Sinn EZM 1, Sinn has grown this collection to some of the most durable and highly functional watches made and they remain among the most popular in the collection.

Really nice watch

"Really nice watch"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: Super happy with the watch. It has a lot of quality for the price point. Sinn knows how to make a good watch. Also, the guys from Watchbuys gave me a call before shipping it to make sure I knew everything about the watch. So far very happy with my watch.

Verified Watch Owner Comments: Impulse buy, but extremely happy with the watch. Currently it's getting more worst time then either of my Rolex watches.

Watch buys was great to deal with called to confirm my order the super fast shipping with first class packaging. For the money a great watch for any collection or as a single piece daily driver.

Great tool watch

Verified Watch Owner Comments: A great watch, very versatile and a great size

Good customer service

"Good customer service"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: First time buying from WatchBuys and found their customer service excellent. They followed up my order with a confirming phone call and shipped the watch overnight express when the original ship date couldn't be met by FedEx.

Wouldn't hesitate to buy from them again.

QUALITY WATCH AND SELLER

"QUALITY WATCH AND SELLER"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: I have been quite impressed with the Sinn quality. Near perfection! I enjoy the size and legibility as well as the workmanship of the leather band. As importantly,

WatchBuys has been equally impressive with their attention to detail and commitment to superior customer service. Thank you.

Watch buy

"Watch buy"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: Excellent costumer service. After placing order I was contacted to verify the order and checked to make sure my wrist size would be appropriate for the extra watch strap I ordered, then sent it next day shipping. I’ll buy again from them.

104 Series: Love this watch!

"104 Series: Love this watch!"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: The 104 Series is incredible! We are very happy with the purchase.

The customer service from Watch Buys was a step above other companies and the watch arrived within a few days in impeccable quality. Love this Sinn watch!

Sinn 104 on strap review

"Sinn 104 on strap review"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: This is my first Sinn, and I am very satisfied with this piece. Its a wonderfully made watch, and tells time within a couple seconds off per day. I really appreciate Sinn’s over engineering of the watch, such as the 200 meters of water resistance and the captive screwed in bezel, these details show great respect to us as the consumers by giving us more than the watch needs.

Myself being big fan of pilot and other tool oriented watches, this engineering is a great addition to the piece and deserves to be complimented, as many watches in much higher price points in the tool watch category would not have these technologies and high water resistance on them. The Bezel ratchets great, and the Lume is grade A. Well done Sinn.

Truly a Great Watch

"Truly a Great Watch"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: The Sinn 104 is excellent. The dial is legible at both day and night. The case is elegant, and it pairs well with just about any strap.

The movement, on average, loses four seconds a day. And, perhaps most importantly, it fits my 6.25-inch wrist well. I highly recommend it.

Excellent

"Excellent"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: Love my Sinn watch. Much better build quality and accuracy than I expected for the price. Will likely purchase another

Better in Person

"Better in Person"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: Walking into watch retailers after browsing pictures on-line, I found out that in only a few cases has the in-person presentation been better. I thought Explorer I and II as well as most of the Nomos line presented better than photos the Sinn 104, I pleasantly discovered, was also a watch that looked even better in person. The dial is not only legible, but visually balanced. In person, the printing on the bezel is not as prominent as it appears in photos, which means my eye is drown into the black dial with bright white details. The anti-reflective coating makes the dial look especially crisp. The polishing is nicely done and plays in the light. The movement is nicely decorated. The lume is bright and long-lasting. For function, I find the watch was losing about 4 seconds a day, not a problem as far as I am concerned. The movement hacks and hand-winds. The crown screws down smoothly and the hand-winding feels and sounds of high quality. The rotor is audible, but very quiet, unlike ... - more details

The alluring symmetries!

"The alluring symmetries!"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: I must admit, I am not a watch collector. I purchase watches only very sparingly, when I need a watch, or on an exceedingly special occasion, such as when I got my first academic post (when I bought a quartz Wittnauer), or as a memento, like when my daughter went off to college, to remind me of her (when I bought an impressively sturdy Vostok Amphibia). This watch purchase was to be my finest watch, a German watch that would remind me of someone in my family very dear to me who is having serious health problems, and who is of German heritage. Before I purchased the Sinn 104 I St Sa, I had considered dozens of German watches (and Swiss watches), everything on every site I could find. Additionally, I watched numerous watch reviews on Youtube, to the point of exhaustion. Various Youtube reviewers repeatedly called the Sinn 104 the one watch collection, a designation I dismissed as possibly unjustified hype. Finally, after much deliberation (and consultation with my wife), I purchased ... - more details

I love this watch

"I love this watch"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: This is my first mechanical watch. I'd been researching what to buy for a couple years, and am thrilled with the Sinn 104.

The dial and hands are very precise, and the movement is super smooth. The dial is easy to read in low light (a requirement of mine), and the movement is very accurate (chronometer grade). The movement in this watch also appears in other watches 3x the price, so I was very happy to get this much watch for the price.

The folks at watchbuys were helpful in getting me started, and were responsive both on the phone and via email.

Great watch

"Great watch"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: The execution of the watch is flawless. Zero defects or QC issues. My daily driver.

Sinn 104 with strap and bracelet

"Sinn 104 with strap and bracelet"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: I understand now why this watch is called an instant classic. It is my first semi luxury watch purchase and I could not be happier.

Trey at Watchbuys called me up, confirmed my order, and got me set up with the appropriate strap length. Not sure if this is normal practice or not at watch ADs, but it was very nice to know that I was going to be paying for a strap I could wear.

Sinn 104

"Sinn 104"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: The customer service at Watchbuys is fantastic. I had a small issue and they resolved it quickly and without any hassle. I would buy another watch from them without reservation.

Of course, the new Sinn is great and wears very well with great looks and balance.

Love my new daily!

"Love my new daily!"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: I’ve been looking for a new daily watch for a few months now. After watching endless videos and trying on my ‘short list’ I finally decided on the Sinn 104. Love it’s simplicity, it’s timelessness, and the open caseback. I also love that it’s a strap monger which will help keep me busy later down the road.  For now I’ll definitely stick with the super thick leather strap that just looks great.

When it came to finally pulling the trigger, it seemed like everyone was recommending Watchbuys. So instead of maybe finding a used one cheaper I went with it new from Watchbuys and couldn’t be happier. Not only did the watch arrive in just a few short days but they even called to make sure someone would be home to accept the delivery.

Would highly recommend both Sinn and Watchbuys.

Sinn 104

"Sinn 104"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: Fabulous watch! Speedy delivery

Excellent Customer Service

"Excellent Customer Service"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: I purchased Sinn 104 St Sa recently. I cannot be any happier with the quality of customer service at WATCHBUYS.com.

Sales person called me right away to make sure the item delivery and I do not have any concerns about the purchase. He was professional, kind and pleasant to talk to. I am very happy with the quality of product as well.

Even compared with my other watches like Omega, Breitling, and Grand Seiko, I think Sinn 104 stands up well. This is my first time to own German watch but I am impressed by the craftsmanship.

Sinn 104

"Sinn 104"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: I am exceedingly pleased with the watch.

It was the last watch I really wanted. It has not disappointed. I can agree even more strongly now with those who say: if you were only going to have one watch, get a Sinn 104. The only downside .... if you have a small wrist, as I do, you will need to buy the smaller size strap separately. The strap it comes with is way too large for a 6.25 inch wrist.

Love it!

"Love it!"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: Beautiful watch, fast shipping, and great customer service...what more can I say? Highly recommend both the watch and watchbuys.com.

No regrets

"No regrets"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: This watch is beautiful, comfortable, and keeps great time. The leather strap is very comfortable and looks great paired with this watch. I love the timer bezel and it is surprisingly useful.

Watchbuys staff were very professional and a pleasure to work with.

Fantastic Watch! Excellent Store!

"Fantastic Watch! Excellent Store!"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: It's a Sinn.. need I say more?

The Watchbuys guys were the best. I bought a second already and would certainly purchase from this dealer again in the future..

Still relevant in 2020

"Still relevant in 2020"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: First, let me say that Kevin at Watchbuys was professional, quick and efficient in answering my questions before sending out my watch. I received it very quickly and in perfect condition.

Now about the watch: This is really a great piece. I bought it with the intention of having just one good watch, and it definitely is that. Very well thought out design, and everything works seamlessly well together. After two weeks of wear it runs approximately under +3 seconds a day.

It is so nice that if I ever get into collecting watches the Sinn 103 will be my next purchase (uh oh).

I have only one regret

"I have only one regret"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: I should have bought my Sinn a while back. I love everything about this watch specially is simplicity. A watch for any situation.

Incredible Value for Price

"Incredible Value for Price"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: I spent about a month researching my next watch purchase before deciding on this one. It is everything I expected and more.

The quality and appearance of the 104 cannot be matched at this price. Transaction was quick as was the delivery. I received a call from staff advising me delivery details and asking me if I had any questions.

Great customer service!

Sinn 104

"Sinn 104"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: Model: 104 | St Sa - SKU: SI-311 I have had my 104 for about 2 weeks and feel comfortable relaying my experience thus far. I heard of this watch via several YouTube channels, particularly 'The Urban Gentry'. You will find that the watch is somewhat of a darling on these channels and enough so that I took the chance and bought it. This is the first +$1,000 watch I have bought online and did so as a bit of a gamble, since I am not prone to buying at this level without a physical inspection. Purchase Experience - The Watchbuys online purchase was typical - nothing unusual here. I live in the US, so the shipping route was straightforward. They did inform me that they would need to speak to me before shipping the watch. This was not an imposition and eased the ordering process considerably. Talking to someone made the experience a little more personal and they were able to answer a few simple questions. Watch arrived without incident and they honored my request to require a signature.

Great Watch and Customer Service

"Great Watch and Customer Service"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: I was called within 5 minutes of the order and the call was great. The watch is high quality and looks great.

Heck Yes

"Heck Yes"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: I took a chance on buying this sight unseen based on YouTube reviews and such. It looked smaller in person than the pictures, but I'm glad for that. The size is perfect. Larger would be obnoxious and that trend may be going away.

I look forward to decades and decades with this watch. Truly beautiful and useful. Makes my daily image a strong notch up. Works with any outfit handsomely. Sinn hit it out of the park with this one. Now make an exact version with the tegimented steel (polished) or titanium (polished) and you have a perfect watch. Sinn... please stop putting labels on your other watches... I like a clean face. Having a big UT or such on the face clutters up the dial. Keep it classy and simple please.

Buy this watch!

Great watch even greater customer service.

"Great watch even greater customer service."

Verified Watch Owner Comments: Finally landed on a watch I'm planning to keep for a long time. I've purchased many watches in the past and have never had better customer service.

"Sinn 104"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: The Sinn 104 is the first German watch I have ever purchased and I must say I'm very impressed. The watch is definitely well made , robust and accurate.

Lastly , I highly recommend this model , and I also highly recommend Watch buys .

Watchbuys great company and great watch

"Watchbuys great company and great watch"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: This is one of the nicer watches you can buy for the price. I just received it today and watchbuys was quick to deliver a quality product. Don’t hesitate to buy. Great for a collection or if you just want one nice watch. This fits everyone.

Buy it

"Buy it"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: My only regret was not buying this watch sooner. I love everything about it.

The finishing, quality, and fit of the watch exceeds the price point. I will say that the strap, while high quality, doesn’t have holes to accommodate smaller wrist sizes. Easily fixed with a leather hole puncher.

Watch buys customer service is some of the best I have ever experienced and would certainly recommend them to anyone.

Elegant Watch and Prompt Service

"Elegant Watch and Prompt Service"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: Since I just received my watch I can't comment on durability, accuracy, and similar long-term observations. I can state unequivocally that ordering the watch was prompt and painless. It seems that if you have questions you will always reach a real person who will patiently answer. I'd seen the 104 at a WB roadshow once and was struck by how captivating it was in real life as opposed to the photos. Had I not seen it in the wild, so to speak, I don't think I would have bought it. I should note that if your wrist is small (topping out at 7 or just short of that), you will be using the last hole on the standard watch band. I'm using the last hole but it's very comfortable. Might I do better with the shorter band? Maybe. But it's kind of hard to give it real test if you might return it b/c in order to return the watch it needs to never have been worn ... I guesstimated and it seems to be okay but, again, I'll need more time to figure out if I should have gotten the smaller strap. This... - more details

Lives up to the love

"Lives up to the love"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: This is one of those watches that has only positive reviews. I own a 103 ST which has grown on me. The coin bezel, sapphire crystal make this a solid piece. The leather band is just a nice and perfectly fits the watch. I swapped in the bracelet from my 103 ST, and its more than perfect for me.

Simple and does the job, and something you smile looking at.

A Year On

"A Year On"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: The Sinn 104 was a gift for my husband, and these are his words.

After a year, I still wear this watch 3-5 times a week. I absolutely love it, and it keeps great time (+4 seconds/day). It is tough, stylish, absolutely versatile, able to take many different straps. This watch will be with me until the end.

And Watchbuys were fantastic to deal with, extremely professional and knowledgeable.

Sinn 104 I St Sa

"Sinn 104 I St Sa"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: Amazing watch!

I ordered on a Sunday and I received a phone call first thing on Monday morning to review my order and ask if I had any questions.

Never had such attentive customer service on anything before. I have a 6.75” wrist and requested a shorter strap, if possible, and they were happy to oblige. I would not think twice to recommend Watchbuys to anyone looking for an honest and pleasurable watch buying experience. Already contemplating my next one! Cheers

Sinn City

"Sinn City"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: Debated a few different watches for a good year or so (being my first expensive watch) until I finally decided to jump on this one, and am I ever glad I did. I've had the watch for about a year now and still love it as much as the first day. It's an absolute strap monster & as you can see on many forums this watch always gets compliments whilst not being too flashy.

I could go on about this guy. Thanks for the excellent service on such a nice timepiece!!

Beyond Expectation

"Beyond Expectation"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: This watch has exceeded my expectations in every way, and I find myself wearing it the most often out of my collection. It is currently paired with a Haveston strap, which is another favorite both in both form and function.

The experience with WatchBuys was exceedingly professional and timely. I highly recommend both...wear in good health!

Beautiful watch and outstanding customer service

"Beautiful watch and outstanding customer service"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: I purchased this watch after reading many reviews. I was looking for a reliable durable every day watch as I had grown tired of frequently rotating watches and was looking to reduce my collection. This watch not only met my expectations for versatility but also was more attractive than the pictures revealed..

Customer service was also outstanding and my questions were immediately responded too via phone call. My only problem now is my plan for this to be my last watch purchase has been ruined as due to quality of service and quality of the watch I suspect I will be looking to buy my second Sinn before too long.

Perfect Everyday Watch

"Excellent Watch"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: Fantastic all around watch. Extremely accurate, and even more stunning in person. It's a staple in watch communities for a reason. Highly recommend.

Great watch Great service!

"Great watch Great service!"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: First off I must say I absolutely love this watch! The fit and finish is great as well as the astetic. The leather strap is beautiful. Unfortunately due to my small wrist it doesn't quite fit me. Its a perfect fit now on the last hole. As it stretches over time it won't fit any longer. Something to keep in mind if you have a smaller wrist. However this thing looks great on a Nato strap as well.

As for watchBuys, they are great! I received a call from them within an hour of placing my order. They answered every question I had and had it shipped to me in no time. I will definitely buy from them again! Two thumbs up!!

Great watch and service!

"Great watch and service!"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: The Sinn 104 was my first watch purchase from WatchBuys and I could not have been happier. They contacted me promptly to verify my address as I was a new customer, and shipped fast.

The watch arrived in perfect condition, and I've since also ordered a 556! Highly recommend.

First time buyer

"First time buyer"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: First, I was pleasantly surprised I found the watch, which was a Sinn 104. I called and asked several questions about the watch. Watchbuys were extremely knowledgeable and speedy in response time. Then they called right before to clarify all costs and shipping process before the watch was shipped out. It took no time for the watch to arrive. Upon arrival, it was everything I wanted and more.

I’ll gladly buy from Watchbuys again. I’m currently planning my next purchase for my next Sinn as well. Not only do they have Sinn, but quite and eclectic brand off all other watches and watch brands. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Watchbuys.

Fantastic watch and buying experience

"Fantastic watch and buying experience"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: The watch is simply amazing and I wear it for both formal and casual occasions. I have received lots of compliments about my watch. It keeps excellent time, only gaining 3 to 5 seconds a day which I find acceptable. The brown leather strap is great quality, but it was a bit large for my 7 inch wrist, so I added a couple of holes to fit it just right. I also have worn the watch on a black leather strap, a black rubber strap, and a stainless steel bracelet. It pairs well with everything as it is black and white. It's light weight and very comfortable to wear. The dial is very legible even with quick glances. The lume looks great and it is easy to see the time in the dark. I use the bezel as a countdown timer once in a while mainly for cooking, but I use the bezel to track elapsed time just about everyday. I don't have anything negative to say about the watch. Regarding the buying process - it was easy. Shipping took only two days via fedex and I was able to track the package. The day... - more details

sehr glücklich

"sehr glücklich"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: I couldn’t be happier with my first mechanical watch purchase. My 104 I St Sa on Strap met and exceeded my expectatations.

My Watchbuys experience was top notch. A nod of the hat to Matt. Great service!

I originally was looking at this model on fine link bracelet. But due to to it being Christmas is was not available. However, on the leather was. And after many emails with Matt, who patiently answered all, I made the purchase. Along with a deployant clasp and a fine link bracelet separately. Matt ensured the watch, clasp and bracelet shipped as one. Plus, as requested, they set the day window to German.

I can’t say enough positive things. Happy with my watch and the overall experience. Already looking at my second Watchbuys Sinn purchase.

Excellent!

Best service I've ever received!

"Best service I've ever received!"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: This is more of a review for Watchbuys than the Sinn 104, which is a great watch anyway. My watch arrived last night. I was really excited because I’ve been contemplating this purchase for six months. However, when I tried it on the watch did not fit well at all. The regular strap is too long for my 7” wrist and even on the last hole the watch is a little loose. Having anticipated this problem I had spoken to one of their reps prior to purchasing, but he convinced me to get the regular-length strap. I thought I had to live with this first world problem, but I reached out to them anyway to offer some suggestions. I ended up speaking with the company owner who dealt with me in the most professional manner. He offered to send me a short strap free of charge and even suggested that I mix and match from both for a better fit. Selling a good product is easy. It’s the quality of service that makes a company and these guys offer service of the highest quality. If any of you have any doub... - more details

One of the 104's Many Personalities

"One of the 104's Many Personalities"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: I was on the fence between the 104 on a fine link bracelet or this beautiful dark brown heavy leather strap. Not wanting to have to frequently switch bands, I eventually bought both watches (see my review of the fine linked 104). The leather completely changes the personality of this piece by adding a vintage pilot watch vibe. If you're looking for an uncluttered, classic, yet masculine watch to go with your wardrobe's brown leathers, this one's a no-brainer.

Purchase with confidence with Watchbuys' super-efficient client service.

Great experience all the way around!

"Great experience all the way around!"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: Sinn 104 I is my first automatic watch could not have picked a better one to get me hooked! Love the look and quality of Sinn as good in person as the reviews I had read.

Purchase through Watch Buys was incredible the experts here answered all my questions and provided some extra advice for upkeep and maintenance. Could not be more pleased with both the watch and WatchBuys!

Perfect Everyday Watch

"Perfect Everyday Watch"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: Love the watch. Switched out the strap for a more comfortable (to me) Hirsch black leather strap. This has become my daily wear watch - even after scratching a lug within the first week.

It runs consistently 3 seconds fast per day. I have to remind my self to wear my other watches instead of the Sinn. (Stowa, Hamilton, Seiko, Omega) The only thing I would change about this watch is I would prefer a beaded/blasted case rather than polished.

I have to say the customer service with WatchBuys is stellar. I definitely plan to purchase from them again.

Excellent Service, excellent watch

"Excellent Service, excellent watch"

Excellent timepiece, and had a great experience buying from WatchBuys!

Beautiful, Meticulously Crafted Piece of Art

"Beautiful, Meticulously Crafted Piece of Art"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: I cannot be more impressed with the Sinn 104 ST SA. Its beauty cannot be accurately described without seeing it yourself in person.

It's so German - and I mean that in the best way. Every thing fits well, looks premium, operates seamlessly, and has the marks of a true craftsman. I would highly recommend this watch as an Automatic Starter Watch. The price point is great (relatively speaking) and the piece will last you a very long time.

For all you American buyers, please don't fret - Watch Buys is legit. I was a little sketched out at first, but their customer service is phenomenal and everything I received is legitimate. Seriously watch collectors, you NEED to own this watch.

German Quality

"German Quality"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: I debated for over a year before buying the Sinn 104. I saw it initially at a Watchbuys roadshow and knew I wanted it, but I couldn’t decide the Indices or numerals dials. I finally decided on the Indices (104I) version since I thought the numerals dial was just a little too busy. I am very happy with my purchase. The countdown bezel is an extremely useful feature. Whether I’m timing eggs, my parking meter time or portions of my many conference calls, I use it all the time. I also appreciate the 200M water resistance – no worries about doing the dishes or getting caught in the rain. Finally, I wanted the watch on the H-link bracelet but Watchbuys was sold out. It was explained to me that since Watchbuys does not inflate the cost of the bracelet after the fact, I could purchase the bracelet later, at the same difference in price over the strap that it would have been initially. Kudos to them for that. I now have the watch on the quality brown leather strap and when the bracelet becom... - more details

Fantastic Sinn 104 and Service!

"Fantastic Sinn 104 and Service!"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: First time buyer from Watchbuys and I have to say the service was great. The staff were knowledgeable and explained the delivery process to Toronto, Canada thoroughly and were accurate with their details.

I purchased an alternative Sinn strap and deployment clasp which was swapped onto the watch before shipping. The quality of the Sinn 104 far exceeds the price point, even with the brokerage duties and Canadian taxes added on.

Great Work!

"Sinn-tastic"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: I have been pondering buying this watch for a long time. The price was a factor, and I just couldn't commit, but when the price increase was announced, I knew it was now or never.

Am I glad I bought this watch! It's beautiful, but it's much more than that. You know right away that it's a quality timepiece as soon as you open the box. I love how it looks and feels on my wrist, and it keeps great time. I've read where the 104 is described as an everyday watch, and it's true it gets most of my wrist time.

The attention to detail is excellent, including the minute track around the dial, the day-date complication, and the wonderful bezel, which is a pleasure to use. And it's such a visible watch, with excellent contrast. Plus the beautiful case back. Watchbuys has excellent service, and they, and the Sinn 104 are highly recommended.

Excellent Watch!

"Excellent Watch!"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: There’s not much else I can say about this wonderful piece that hasn’t already been said by others more eloquent than myself in describing its virtues. The build quality is fantastic and it’s easily the most comfortable watch I’ve owned.

Was worried about buying it without seeing it first but definetly didnt regret the purchase. The leather brown stock strap is a little tough so I replaced that and the is receptive and visible but the lume does not stay bright as long as I expected. Other than that this is a awesome watch.

A Must Have Time Piece

"A Must Have Time Piece"

Verified Watch Owner Comments:

Its been less then one week since receiving my Sinn 10104 Sa St I.. After many months of researching the right watch for me, I pulled the trigger on the Sinn. I have Have to say, although it's not on of the big brand luxury brands that I was looking to purchase (all would have been preowened based on my budget) Sinn is certainly a contender.

The fit, form, and functionality in my opinion is bar none at this price point. I've received complements from strangers while just standing in line at the store. Anyway, if you're on the fence , dont be. Even if you can afford a more luxurious watch, add the Sinn 104toyour collection you wont be disappointed. After one week watch accuracy is + 1.8 s/day. Im extremely happy with this. Well with in the -4/+6 Cosc cert.

One finally note. Watch buys is top notch. They take their business serious and seem to understand the value of not only the time piece we are purchashing bubut the value of the individual making the purchase.

It’s all true

"It’s all true"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: This is a retirement present to myself for 47 years of work, and everything said about this watch is true. I couldn’t be more pleased with it.

Fit, finish, precision, and drop dead good looks makes this watch as good as any of the Omegas and Tudors I’ve put on my wrist. Go ahead and watch the YouTube reviews. It’s accurate as all get out. Everyone raves about it.

Just buy it. But one suggestion.....the brown leather strap is thick and very high quality, but I put a black cowhide alligator print strap with white stitching on it, and this thing just pops. Stunning combo in my opinion.

Exquisite

"Exquisite"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: I finally purchased this watch after months of agonizing as to whether I should spend over $1000 for a watch. After all, I have only been collecting watches for just over a year, and had yet to pull the trigger on a $1000+ watch.

It was also my first time buying from Watch Buys. I'll be the first to say that It was well worth the investment. It is a beautiful well build piece which I feel will remain in my collection for many years. Watch Buys was also very easy to deal with. Ordered over a weekend and heard back from them first thing Monday morning. Shipping was fast, and I had my watch within two days. Will definitely purchase from them again.

Sinn 104

"Sinn 104"

Verified Watch Owner Comments:

I'd been wanting to purchase a Sinn for a while after seeing numerous articles and reviews about their build quality and good looks. I finally made the decision to purchase the Sinn 104 on leather strap and have no regrets.

I was a bit nervous at first as this is the most money I have ever spent on a watch. I was not disappointed. It is a stunning looking watch, that feels like it is built like a tank. An added benefit is this watch is a strap monster. I have tried it on several Nato straps and two different leather straps and it looks great on all of them.

I used Watchbuys free shipping and it arrived well packed in only two days via Fedex. I would definitely buy another Sinn and use Watchbuys again.

Outstanding

Verified Watch Owner Comments:

The watch is unquestionably worth every penny of the asking price and is everything you hope it will be.

The WatchBuys service was also phenomenal and I would purchase through them again- overnight shipping to Canada is pretty wicked. I give the highest recommendation to anyone considering this glorious chunk of Germany.

Sinn 104

"Sinn 104"

Verified Watch Owner Comments:

I've been building my collection for a few years and my Sinn 104 purchase was a memorable intro to Sinn timepieces. Many positive words have been written on this piece: great value proposition, perfect, useful, defines what a tool watch is....these are all true and my research kept nudging me to the WatchBuys site.

When my 104 arrived I knew I'd made a good decision. Key for me is legibility - can I glance at my wrist and retrieve the info I need quickly and accurately? You bet - This piece really delivers. (With a longer glance the time info is enhanced by an accurately subdivided dial and both day and date complications). Add a level of comfort and wearability - from a perfect case shape and size - including an overall height that allows you to forget it is there - and you do have an almost perfect piece with equal measures of value proposition, usefulness, and tool-icity.

Get off the fence. You won't be disappointed.

"Sinn 104 I St Sa on Strap"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: I had considered many different watches before settling on the 104, and I feel like I made the right choice.

The fit and finish of the watch exceeded my expectations from the pictures I had seen online. The watch is comfortable, accurate, legible, and engrossing to look at. I have a 7 wrist and I'm using the smallest hole in the strap, so if you have a smaller wrist you should consider a different strap.

The phone call from Watchbuys explaining the process and answering questions was a nice touch.

"Jack of all Trades, and master of .. well all of them"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: When you purchase a Sinn 104, you are getting a watch that not only has capabilities that match watches that cost 2-3x more, you are getting a watch that true to its own design roots. Sinn is known for tough as nails tool watches. On their high end watches the case strength is legendary… The Sinn 104 is an entry into the world of Sinn. However whether you choose to treat it as a daily wear, a dive watch, an aviation watch, or a sport watch, it will be right there with you. If you look at its case it is not an homage or a copy of any other watch out there. The longer you are in this world of wristwatches, you start to see patterns in case design and you learn that a great many things effect what you like and what you wear. The Sinn 104 comes in at near perfect dimensions. At about 11mm thick it is approaching dress watch thinness. At 41mm in diameter it comes close to being universally appealing to all wrist sizes. The Lug to Lug is also remarkably short so it sits on small and larg... - more details

This watch is beautiful. The pictures don't do it justice at all. After having worn it for a week, I find it very comfortable on the wrist. The lume is very bright and long lasting. My watch is running + 2 to 3 seconds a day. Certainly within COSC standards. This has become a true favorite.

Verified Watch Owner Comments: As other reviews have noted, WatchBuys service was extremely prompt and professional. I ordered my watch late on a Friday afternoon and it was at my doorstep before lunch the next day. As for the watch itself, I have been pleasantly surprised. It is quite hefty and robust. The polished case really stands out and is quite visible while on the wrist. I never really thought that would be the case when viewing pictures on the internet. The rotating bezel is a pleasure to use. It clicks with a precise authority that I can only describe as...German. I find that I like the syringe shaped hands for legibility. The thick part of the hands are easy to read at a glance and the narrow tips work well for precise readings. I have large wrists and the supplied leather straps, while of good quality, were too short for me to use. The buckle was on the next to last adjustment hole and the tip of the strap was difficult to thread through the keeper hoops. I replaced with NATO strap for the time being... - more details

I own several Rolex Subs, and other high end and mid tier watches. What I like about this watch is there is nothing else like it. The dial is easy to read, the lume is great and I just love the style.

Dealing with Watchbuys was a breeze I ordered it on a Tuesday afternoon and had it the next morning. If you are on the fence just do it you will not regret it. I ordered it with the strap and black dial with out numerals. I am playing around with different straps. I just received a Bond Nato for Xmas it looks awesome. Its about 5sec a day fast , they claim it will break in.. It is with in spec. Just do it. 5 Stars.. Scott Miami

Uniquely performing watch!

"Uniquely performing watch!"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: I bought the Sinn 104 and I’m very impressed with it. It’s well suited to compliment the way I think about tasks. The bidirectional countdown bezel provides a constraint-based approach to referencing discrete intervals.

Simply register the desired time span on the bezel to the minute hand and the pip provides the end point. Measuring arbitrary elapsed time is just the inverse: align the pip to current time and subtract the end point from sixty. Simple. I’m a design consultant.

This watch is a tool. It delivers big on intent and quality. The manufacturing is superb.

My experience with WATCHBUYS was pleasant. I like their business model and look forward to my next purchase.

Excellent service!

"Instantly My Favorite Watch"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: I'll preface this review with stating that this is my first higher end watch. Which is to say that this is the first watch that I've paid over $1k for. So I cannot really compare this watch to others of it's value, but I can give my impressions of the watch. As soon as I removed the watch from the box it was clear that this is the best built watch that I own. The weight and size of the watch is perfect for me, and while the leather band that it comes with is rather thick it is not overly stiff and I found it comfortable even on day one. Over time I imagine it will become even softer. The polish of the watch is perfect as I think it is very attractive without being too flashy. I've also found this to be one of the easiest watches to read in any light because the lume lasts noticeably longer than all other watches I own. I also appreciate that the bezel spins in both directions and feels very solid with no play in it at all. Frankly I don't think there's anything I would change about... - more details

Verified Watch Owner Comments: I am a mechanical engineer, so small details really matter to me. I am very impressed with the attention to detail of this watch. The case is beautiful, purposeful and elegant at the same time. The polishing is perfect. The dial is very nicely detailed yet not too busy at the same time. I absolutely love the bezel - the inner and outer polished rings, the lumed triangle is sweet - few if any other brands have this design and I especially love the 60 click uni-directional bezel - such a crisp and positive action - perfect. It has taken me a while to get used to the stark white hands. I understand the reasoning behind the design - legibility, but if someone were to ask what I would do differently were it my design this would be the only area. I like the shape and size of the hands, it's just that I would prefer something with just a bit more punch. Perhaps painting the balance end of the seconds hand red. Just a thought. This is a very comfortable watch to wear. I can't see anyone ... - more details

Verified Watch Owner Comments: My first time spending over 1K on a watch and I love it! The design is so nice it works in formal settings and as a casual daily beater. The decorated movement is nice, the countdown bezel is cool and the lume is great.

I never exactly measured its accuracy but I haven't had to adjust it in the 2 weeks I have worn it (although I don't mind having all my clocks ahead so I am never late). My only few gripes with the watch are the faint crackling sounds when screwing the crown, the rough winding and the rather low power reserve. Great watch, worth the price.

In love

"In love"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: I bought this watch after agonizing I've a number of brands and models. I have an Omega Seedmaster Professional already, and was looking for something more robust (waterproof, sapphire crystal) yet good looking for everyday wear. I was a bit nervous about buying the Sinn without being able to try it first, but I have no regrets. It is beautiful in person.

I love the simplicity of the dial (I got the version with indices, not numerals). I love that it goes with nearly any strap, from bright coloured to more muted (I took the OEM strap off right away and starting trying NATOs on, I didn't find anything yet that didn't look good with the dial.) Good for the weekend or work. So much flexibility.

And I didn't have to spend Rolex or Omega dollars to get it. I think I have found my perfect watch.

My Daily Wearer

"My Daily Wearer"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: The 104, like all Sinn watches is overbuilt. You have a sense of confidence that the watch will hold up to everything your day has to offer. The face is very readable to these 55yr. old eyes in all situations. Included are day/date complications with a hackable second hand and a countdown bezel. The thick leather strap included with the watch is substantial but pliable and supports this watch well.

The 104 is a solid daily wear watch that is up to the task.....and more.

Verified Watch Owner Comments: Watchbuys is great.

An over zealous card company held up the sale and Watchbuys was very helpful. I received the watch in a couple of days. I was surprised that the beautiful, rippled leather strap was so large. I have a medium sized(7.5inches) wrist and am in the next to last hole with the buckle adjustment. Also the description of the dial was black and it is really dark gray under good light. The background for the day/date is significantly darker. Nevertheless, I love the watch.

It is beautiful and easily the nicest watch I have ever owned.

The Sinn 104 is nothing short of spectacular, the quality and look of the watch are everything if not more of what I expected.

Sinn 104 I St Sa

"Sinn 104 I St Sa"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: I had only read reviews about the SInn 104 but the positive feedback, the aesthetics of the watch, and the positive reputation of Sinn in the watch community drew me to make a purchase. Watchbuys was very helpful with upfront questions I had as I decided if I wanted the watch on the strap or the bracelet. Then when I ordered the watch the process was pretty quick and I actually liked their check to ensure my purchase wasn't fraudulent. The watch came quickly and when I got it I was very pleased. It is a great looking timepiece. It wears great on my 7.1 wrist. It keeps fantastic time. The first week I had it the watch ran dead even which is right up there with my COSC certified watches. My only gripe is the strap is very long. I have to use the last pinhole to get a fit I enjoy and then I see the tail of the strap when I look down at the watch which I don't like. I'll be ordering an aftermarket strap for it though. So, if you have a small wrist consider trying to order it with the s... - more details

Verified Watch Owner Comments: A very good watch

Excellent watch and even better service

"Excellent watch and even better service"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: I pre-ordered this watch before it was in stock and was told it would be a few days until they came in. That was fine with me as these watches sell out often. I received a call 2 days later to let me know it was in stock and would be mailed that evening. 2 days later I received the watch.

The Sinn 104 is an excellent watch and the service from Watchbuys was extraordinary.

Excellent watch and even better service.

Sinn has a winner

"Sinn has a winner"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: Firstly, Watchbuys is helpful, and quick to ship. The watch represents good value for the money. Depending on one's taste, it is a handsome, well proportioned piece that is not overstated. It exudes a classic appearance. Moreover, the rich brown strap complements the case and dial of the watch nicely.

It's a style of watch that can easily be made to provide different appearance's with the change of the strap, if desired. Mechanically, it keeps time about the same as my Damasko DK 201 GMT. No complaints there. Nice lume in low light too. If you're considering this piece because it catches your eye, go ahead and ease the throttle forward. You'll be pleased.

Verified Watch Owner Comments: The Sinn 104 is a fantastic watch. It looks so much better in person, and it's so comfortable to wear. I currently have it on a black nato, and it's a stunner. The watch is also pretty accurate for the price. There are a lot of ETA fanboys I included, but this movement doesn't make me miss an ETA movement at all.

I love the contrast the black dial and bezel and stainless steel body. It just pops. This probably the best mid-range piece out there for the price. The built quality is superb, and the design is timeless. You will not be disappointed with your purchase.

Sinn 104 I St Sa

"Sinn 104 I St Sa"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: The Sinn 104 I is an outstanding watch, you can easily tell there has been a great attention to detail given to this watch by its designers and makers. This watch is all about practicality and style coming together. To start with the physical characteristics of the watch, the polishing and case of this watch is very well done with its simplistic straight edges but nothing over the top. The countdown bezel of this watch is unbelievable, it's very handy and with its bidirectional ratchet style, where every turn gives strong satisfying click. The day and date complication flick over instantaneously to the next date, no slow turn over here, which is a feature I really appreciate. And where this watch really comes into its own in my opinion is its dial and movement. The dial of this watch is the perfect ratio not enough going on and too much going on. The micro indices the minute indices disappear into the dial until until they are of importance to you, the syringe style hands add to the ... - more details

Verified Watch Owner Comments: Customer service at WatchBuys is outstanding. They called to confirm and answered all my questions. Shipped to my house in two days and I'm on the west coast!


The watch is fantastic, very high standards for the price. If you've been eyeing thie 104, buy it! Don't wait as long as I did because it sold out earlier this year and I had to wait a few months.


Great watch, great service! wouldnt hesitate to purchase from WatchBuys again.

A fantastic everyday watch

"A fantastic everyday watch"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: I ordered this through Watchbuys after months of thinking about it in the back of my mind. I chose their fastest shipping option and it arrived at my place about 3 days after the order was placed.

Because I was a first time user of the site, I called their customer service line to verify some of my details and the person I spoke to was very helpful. As for the watch itself, it's already my favorite daily wear. The clean matte dial looks beautiful in contrast with the glossy bezel and polished case. It's the perfect size for me, and the lugs aren't too long. It can also be dressed up or down with virtually any strap.

I've been recommending the Sinn 104 to anyone who asks about it, and I'm extremely happy with my purchase.

Polished Tool

"Polished Tool"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: The Sinn 104 is an exquisite combination of tool watch meets dress watch - a balance that sets it apart from the crowd.

The 41 mm dial along with the brown/black leather strap are a feast for the eyes and the fit is precise around the wrist. It's been on my ' get list' for a few years and I'm glad it became available.

If you've been staring at it like I have, buy one. It's a keeper!

The best customer service!

Verified Watch Owner Comments: Satisfaction with the product I selected may have exceeded my expectations, but getting a personal call regarding shipping and thanking me for choosing watchbuys showed class and made me feel like an important client.

Will do business with them again.

Sinn 104 I St Sa - The Masterpiece

"Sinn 104 I St Sa - The Masterpiece"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: Originally I was looking for some Swiss watch but I found this Sinn watch and I am very happy that I bought it. I have a small wrist (about 16,5cm) and its 41mm fits perfectly. The dial and hands are in contrast - very easy to read the time. The bezel and the crown are little tough but the watch is brand new so I suppose it gets better. The leather band is very good quality, thick, soft and comfortable however it is little bit long. Even if I use the last hole to adjust the watch on the wrist, it still moves. I made there one more hole and now it fits very well. I also bought metal bracelet and this one is thin and light but very good quality. The watch overall fits very well on the wrist. Day and date is easy to use and lumi is as expected quality. Hour and minute hands are thin so it does not shine as much as for example Seiko but the lumi lasts almost all night and the time is easy to read in the dark. 200 meters WR is another advantage of this watch.  This is perfect watch... - more details

Verified Watch Owner Comments: I am a small scale watch collector and never considered a German watch before. Boy I was really missing a lot. This is handsome piece of art.

I feel like a million when I wear it and it is noticed by others very I'm proud to say: "Its German not Swiss and I love It ! " I look forward to adding another Sinn to my collection. A suggestion would be to add a 18k solid yellow gold Two-Tone with a Blue dial. I think that would be a wonderful piece.

Additionally, WATCHBUYS is the place to go real pros very happy with the service I received.

Verified Watch Owner Comments: The watch itself is beautifully made - classic German engineering, in all its handmade glory, it has been a purchase so very worth it. 


You can't really see it in the photo but the strap is a rich, dark brown and it looks great - super versatile. 

Also, the delivery experience was just absolutely incredible - I ordered the watch on a Wednesday and as soon as i placed the order, i received a call to confirm the order in the next few hours. They confirmed I had ordered the watch i wanted, confirmed my address and informed me the watch would ship that same day. 

I was then informed that the watch had arrived in Canada on the Thursday and following duties and such, I had the watch in my hands by Friday!

Nice watch

The service provided by WatchBuys was also top notch and I'm looking forward to my next purchase.

Verified Watch Owner Comments: Love everything about this watch! Motion is great, has a nice clean look, and works for both formal and informal occasions. The strap is comfortable and adds a bit of a rustic look to the watch. Great value, couldn't be happier!

A countdown bezel at last!

"A countdown bezel at last!"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: Pros: Perfect size for my 7.5" wrist. I've worn it almost non-stop since receipt and with the leather strap it's so comfortable I forget I'm wearing a watch. Extremely accurate so far, to within a couple of seconds a day. Uncluttered face is very easy to read and lume is very good. AND THE BEZEL: WUNNERFUL, WUNNERFUL to quote a famous German emigre to America. It rachets like a tough hand tool, and to accidentally budge it you'd have to whack it against something hard enough that you'd notice. Soooo nice to have a truly practical timing bezel I wish all manufacturers offered them as options. Cons: there really aren't any because I chose this watch after lots of searching, but the AR and day wheel bear mention. The AR issue may be unavoidable, and the problem is the alteration of the face color. In general lighting situations the face looks sorta "light black," unlike in Sinn's photos. To me it makes the watch look even more toolesqe than I wanted, but I'm probably the only person who n... - more details

Solid, quality watch

"Solid, quality watch"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: Have had this watch for a couple of weeks now; it is the right size, is comfortable on the wrist, keeps very good time, and the lume lasts well into the night. Sinn has a winner here.

Absolutely loves it

"Absolutely loves it"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: Bought this as a gift for my father-in-law when he turned 60. He's been wearing it almost every day and he absolutely loves it, this watch is built really well, it looks great on the wrist and the best part of the watch i think is the contrast between the white and the black. 


Also, it's really worth mentioning that as soon as i ordered online, i received within 24 hours a call from WatchBuys explaining the process, describing the watch and the tests they perform, confirming that they'll be shipping it right away, which I promptly received a confirmation of.... bottom-line, great people to buy a watch from, very knowledgable and extremely professional! 

Same experience I had at their roadshow in NY.

Great Every day Watch

"Great Every day Watch"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: I've been wearing this for about a month now.

It is perfect as an every day wearing watch. Not too large, not too small, robust, solid, and ready to take a beating. I also enjoy the vintage aesthetic and simplicity of the face.

The lume is pretty good too.

Bang for the Buck

"Bang for the Buck"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: The 104 is a no brainer.

The size is excellent and a very comfortable watch to wear. I don't time watches but after a day of wear it's right on with my iPhone.

I'm not much for the strap but that's personal preference. One thing that I was really pleasantly surprised with is the lume on this watch. It is fantastic! Recommended.

Love this watch!

"Love this watch!"

Verified Watch Owner Comments: This Sinn 104 is an exercise in simplicity, practicality, and reliability... all in an aesthetically pleasing timepiece. I am a professional photographer who sometimes photographs at nights, using long, manually calculated exposures.

While legibility in the daytime is extremely good, I love the legibility of this timepiece at night! If the lume is well "charged" I can work for hours into the night. Give the way I use this timepiece, an added benefit is that the rotating bezel is of a "count down" design rather than elapsed time (like most dive watches).

While I can work with either, it is far more convenient to know that my exposure is finished when the minute hand reached the "pearl", as opposed to counting minutes from the "pearl" to control my exposure times.

I would have no hesitation in recommending the Sinn 104 St to anyone who needs a simple but well built timepiece, capable of filling many different roles.
