Sinn U1- Submarine Grade 1000m Diver

[@cedarcanoe]

My Sinn U1 will stay with me forever. Best watch

[@OFD]

It's a winner for sure. Awesome watch 👍👍👊

[@rayquintanilla614]

I love everything about this watch. Love how beefy it is. Very cool. Should have taken it out to the bat cave for a proper lume shot😉

[@OFD]

You're right!! Bat Cave lume shot needs to return 😁👍👊

[@JohnstonPettigrew]

I have a few different Sinn models as I lived in Frankfurt and they had factory pricing available to locals.....and their watches are great. I will not sell a Sinn.....I have them all and they are my "go to" watches I wear every day. Nice video.

[@OFD]

You have some nice watches!! Sinn watches are built so well!!

[@manuel_winde]

I have family near Frankfurt and am visiting for my 40th in the summer- how does the discount thing work? as I’d planned to get a U1 or 104 online(grey market) but it would be great to buy one properly as part of my trip.

[@johnivanp]

Sinn are fantastic watches, I have a Sinn chronograph which I love. That U1 is a really nice watch. BTW 1000m is 3300ft, way deeper than people can dive without a special hard pressurized suit. But hey them watch would work 😊

[@OFD]

I hear you. We are obsessed with watches are rated to ridiculous depth that they will never see!! I'm getting pretty satisfied and realistic about a 100m watch. This Sinn is built like, well, a German Sub. Incredibly well done. Cheers John 😎👍

[@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces]

Love Sinn! Beast of a watch👍👍

[@Mark-P]

My U1 has been on my wrist for the last 6 years!

[@OFD]

That's awesome!!

[@wwolf5670]

How has it held up? Is it the "T" version on bracelet? Hard to find trustworthy info on how well the Tegimented version of the bracelet actually holds up to the regular.

[@Mark-P]

@@wwolf5670 I don’t have the bracelet, I wear mine on a NATO strap or a rubber strap. There are no scratches on the watch or on the crystal including the bezel. I’ve had the watch from new since Feb 2013.

[@wwolf5670]

@@Mark-P thanks so much Mark. I have one on bracelet coming in next week. What rubber strap do you like best on it? Thanks -W

[@Mark-P]

@@wwolf5670 You’re welcome. I have an orange rubber NATO, and a Tropic rubber strap, and I’m getting an ISOfrane strap. Hope you enjoy your U1 matey!

[@SecondHourWatches]

It's a total monster that looks like it could survive Armageddon.

[@rockon21ful]

Great video! Really miss the U1 that I sold 5-6 years ago, had the bracelet and the awesome fitted rubber strap with the big clasp.. It's such a great German diver and about the only thing that could be a bit better is the lume… I was in the market for a Panerai and put about 8 watches up for sale and once I got the funds I was looking for pulled the rest off the market but naturally the U1 was one of the first to go. One of these days I really need to replace it..

[@eo6255]

hi, hows it holding up now in 2020, are there scratches, does it still keep good time. just wanted to know before i buy them. thanks. also do u know how many mm in thickness the sapphire glass on the sinn u1 is.

[@carlhaluss]

Great video. Love this watch!

RC Tritec AG in Switzerland is making Super-Lumimova whilst the pigments and and the paint was originally invested in Japan in 1993. The inventor has licensed out the formulas and the right to use the name Superluminova, but without a dash. Tritec uses the dash in between Super and Luminova whilst many others use only Superluminova, full stop. There are companies making different kinds of photo reactive paint for watches, but the original paint came from Japan. Please correct me if I am wrong, but I have been to Tritec and had the pleasure of a factory tour a few years back.

[@OFD]

Frank, i do believe you are spot on. I'm pretty sure RC Tritec supplies most of the lume out there, besides the Japanese watches 😎👍

[@Dangling_Carrot]

That watch is so awesome, love it

[@OFD]

Absolutely man!! It's really badass 👍👊👊👍

[@Lee_K_5555]

Dude -- Breitlings and Tudors and Sinns! How far we've come from the Timexes and Gear Best watch reviews. Yes, I'm teasing a little bit.... :) It seems that no matter how principled we are about staying in the affordable realm, there is a compelling curiosity to at least check out what is available above $2000.

[@OFD]

I know Lee, I know 😉! I need to pick up a Casio or something to keep everyone happy 😁👍Cheers buddy!

[@NEMELBONEREH]

That is a DAMN good looking watch.

[@surfitli]

The SW-200 is 26 Jewels. The ETA 2824 is 25. I really like this watch. I would like to get this one day. The price is the biggest issue, I think it’s worth it but still a lot. There also are some nice Doxas coming out in November. They alshave equally interest me.

[@surfitli]

Armando Sturzenegger you really can’t compare the two. The Sinn case and bracelet are German Submarine steel, plus the coated Bezel, 1000m Wr. I actually have a Swiss Made Invicta Pro Diver with the SW-200. It’s nice, but the finishing and over all build are not even close to a U1. If you think the U1 is too expensive that’s OK, many feel expensive watches are not worth it. I personally really like this.

[@OFD]

Thanks for the correction!! This or a Doxa would be a tough choice. I really need to get a Doxa on the channel one day 😎👍

[@kerpowski1]

Ultimate tool watch.

[@OFD]

Definitely!

[@chiliprepper7678]

I found one on eBay today. And you post a new video on it. 👍

[@OFD]

Nice!!

[@josepmariaaguascaribot9239]

Almost a challenger to your top class 'Superocean'.

[@OFD]

Almost 😉👍😁

[@udojager2673]

Great review and a great watch.

[@colintorrington3817]

Wow that’s one purposefull looking watch , colour of the steel looks like it came of a tank , think it looks real good except the red on the hour and minute hands ( a bit like a barber pole )ouch. The 1000m water resist would have came in handy today down at my local pool , got a bit worried that my skx might spring a leak at 3m 😀. Keep up the good work , tell your friend his watch is cool

[@OFD]

Definitely a tool watch Colin! I think you're SKX is perfect for the pool buddy!! Cheers

[@japd7897]

Submarine "grade!, 1000m WR, in case you take your hand out of the submarine by the ... window?? ;).

[@OFD]

🤣🤣😁👍

[@johntaylor2971]

JAPD nice one mate.....👍😄

[@EricSloferwatchreviews]

I love the watch but Lume is lacking

[@OFD]

🤣🤣🤣

[@cardinalj]

@Heywood Jablome agreed. I have worn my U1 daily for years and when the alarm goes off at 5am i can still tell the time on the U1 lume

[@hirosinoha6992]

good up thank you which do you like metal bracelet or rubber?

[@tangosierra911]

I have both! The metal bracelet adds a satisfying heft to the watch. Then I have the black and red rubber straps, as well as the black bezel to turn it into an SDR once in a while. I love the versatility.

[@hirosinoha6992]

@@tangosierra911 thank you for your reply.ご返信ありがとうございます。

[@csharpewalls]

Nice, I like it. 👍

[@OFD]

It's a tough watch buddy!!

[@danielplainview4778]

30-40 power reserve is not a “good power reserve” that’s very low... nice watch though

[@-mystical-16]

That’s what holds me back from getting one.

[@craigwoolbert2443]

cool

Submarine steel, not shure what that "means... " If you run a watch review channel, how about doing a minimum amount of research. You where a Google search away from giving qualified information about a key feature about this watch.
