It is not antomagnetic up to 1000 gauss. That's the distinction between the 556 and the 856. The 856 has the soft Iron core. A glass bottom can never be antimagnetic. It has "antimagnetisch"written on it's back because the key components are hard to magnetize but far fromm 1000gauss
There is a lot of bullshit in reviews out there concerning Sinn's antimagnetism. I see the same thing with 104 reviews. Because it says antimagnetic on the back people automatically assume it is superduper resistant to magnetic fields. I have had no problems with my 104, but neither have I with my Hamilton Khaki field watch. People tend to parrot what they hear from other reviewers.
True, the tech specs list a compliance adhering to the bare minimum for a watch to be considered antimagnetic - which is 60gauss. This is the equivalent to a refrigerator magnet which typically clocks in at about 50gauss. The 856 is an entirely different animal and packs much more Sinn tech and a healthier resistance to magnetic fields, particularly.
@@stuartcole4845have myself 3 Sinn 104 , 105 and U50 S the best looking one my opinion 104 dressy with the H link bracelet or a tool every day with a canvas or leather strap very well made watch them the 105 S-330-2 UTC black dial orange second time zone sporty watch model very nice and cost me 1.300€ bit less accurate but nothing special and now it’s around 1650€ finally the U50 S all black version Tegimented stealthy and a monster watch hard to scratch have the black tegimented bracelet woohhh superb more sporty with red silicone strap and a very expensive clasp that’s almost like a panzer tank have it on a grey canvas from Sinn goes under the radar a lot for almost 3k € watch of course bought it last summer 2300€ with silicone strap and clasp the bracelet got a nice not so nice price but 240€ now it’s 350€ like the host said watches price’s and gear etc are sky rocket 🚀😡 back 2 years a 104 would cost less than thousand euros they say it’s because of the war Russia - Ukraine that’s not correct the all industry watches, food, electricity etc. are cashing huge amounts 💰because they can and know people are buying it all this was when Covid showed now they all take advantage but my guess at least in Europe people are starting to buy less so I think they will have to drop off prices or else instead of Quartz crises will be buy 2 hand or trade off! Do like that 556 A , have my eye on one less 1250€ in a H link bracelet but not sure yet have a Seiko Alpinist it’s same size and it just looks very small in my wrist have a 6,70 inches size and like more a 40/41 mm case than a 38,5 mm almost looks like a girls watch 😆! All the best and keep up with your cool videos by the way my U 50 is for sure the best hard core watch not big fan of Subs a Daytona it’s my fault didn’t bought it few years but we all have to choose an expensive watch or a car ? If was billionaire of course had already bought my cool Daytona oysterfelx everose , and a Yacht master platinum blue seconds hand amazing and last not least a milgauss steel blue metallic dial stunning watch 😎 ! Keep dream about it 😆 not Billionaire let’s just stay in real and have few other brands and priorities than buy an house for my wrist and then sleep in down the bridge 😆!
I've owned the 556a for almost a year now. Its BY FAR my favorite watch. I'm still shocked at how well it keeps time. The bracelet if comfortable and it goes with all types of nato straps. Late to comment on this video, but if you're thinking about buying this watch.... DO IT!
I've never understood the need for a long power reserve, the movement is an engine, the longer it runs the more maintenance it needs. Do you park the car at night and leave the engine running so it's good to go the next day?
Nice video! I own the 856 and really love it. The 856 is slightly larger (40mm) and is loaded with much more technology. But can’t go wrong with either version. These are truly watches you can wear anywhere and never have to worry about it. It will take anything you can dish out and never look the worse for wear.
556a all the way. I've got the new Ranger (love it). I am still thinking of grabbing this even though the watches are all somewhat similar. It's a nearly perfect daily and a great value.
I own a 556 A exactly like this one, and it is my all-time favorite watch. I get how you'd think it looks a bit boring - but being a NATO-strap enthusiast, I see that as one of its top features. You can wear this thing on a plain black strap, or the most painfully garish one you can think of. There isn't a strap in the world that doesn't go well with a 556! Also, I love the super-matte dial and the offset but still correctly oriented date.
I have the 556Ai withthe indices which is just amazing and more discreet than the arabic numerals, I do not have an issue with the bracelet clasp its really a minor issue and the its my every day watch so the 38 power reserve is made up by the top grade Selita SW200 accuracy which has been further regulated by SInn, leaving it on its side over night I get 1 second added a day. The only gripe I have witht his particular model is the 12 o'clcok position does not have a different colour of lume and as a result I have miss read the time in the middle of the night a few times. Although the price has gone up, it was heavily undervalued to begin with so its is still amazing value for money and I see the rices in the next two years going up by another 200 hence why I bought one!!!
First of all a very good video. Secondly this watch has been on my radar for a while now and because of your video, i have chosen it to be my next watch.
The clasp isn’t milled - it’s stamped, which tends to irk people since stamped steel looks and feels cheaper. But by all accounts, it seems to work just fine.
The 556 is nice. But for just $300 more I opted for the Damasko DK30 with an in-house movement running under 1 second per day. No date and the case finish is absolutely perfect.
THANK YOU for giving its weight at your wrist size of 18cm! For some reason, total weight of watch+bracelet are almost never stated, but this is something I definitely like to know before I buy!

I have been following you other channel for ages and GOD DAMN WAS I SURPRISED to hear your voice while gasing for this Sinn. Yay! I da man!
I like the 556a though it’s not in my collection. I have owned the Sinn 104. This was such a disappointed out of the box but thought it might grow on me in time. It didn’t so k got rid
1-This is not antimagnetic to 1000 gauss. That feature comes with 836 and 856 line. 2- The Top Grade of Sellita line up is not the top of the line. There’s Top Grade but that comes before the Chronometer grade which IS the top grade.
You can find used 556 for well under 1000 grand on chrono24 from time to time. The coating holds up well, no scratches on mine, besides you can buff it out when it starts happening.

It’s 60 gauss.

Always love to watch these. I'm also glad to see others are watching. 104 takes my vote today

Wear this everyday I love it’s. Got is as a gift from my family for my 30th birthday. It’s been all over the world with me
Listening to you butchering the German language was worth the price of admission. Great review. I ordered my 556a a few days ago.

Man I didn't know you had a watch channel, awesome!
It’s a pretty new development and I haven’t talked about it a ton because I’m still learning what I’m doing.
@@Watchcastage Doing great. I'm enjoying it.
Excellent review! I am very interested in this watch, and this was a very pro presentation. 👍🏼👍🏼
I prefer the middle one without the numerals. Thks.
Now you can get the red second hand versions of these 556s too. Just because you don't have a problem and can stop buying watches anytime you want...
No problem at all.
I like the 556a though it’s not in my collection. I have owned the Sinn 104. This was such a disappointed out of the box but thought it might grow on me in time. It didn’t so k got rid

Thank you for the correction. I have a comment pinned about the mistake about the anti-magnetism.
Over $2000 now in canada . I'm thinking about it but am worried about the anti-reflective coating scratching
You can find used 556 for well under 1000 grand on chrono24 from time to time. The coating holds up well, no scratches on mine, besides you can buff it out when it starts happening.
Wtf happened to the seconds hand at 00:35? Or was that a cut in the editing?
Yeah that was just an edit.
i have this watch it does a +2 a bit under a day : CRAZY !!!!! when my TISSOT COSC one is +3/4...
It's absolutely amazing!
perfect watch
People say a watch reflects the personality of the owner. 😅 I like this watch too
7:02 I never can stand it when the second hand hits the 12 marks, and the minute hand is ... in between minute. Never can stand it!!!
It's possible that the angle of filming is causing it to look misaligned. You can't film dead-on in close-up, you'll see a reflection of the camera.
Very helpful video..
Great watch. Ummm you seem to have a couple Sinns there.
Yeah...I....uh....I don’t wanna talk about it. There was a scratch and dent deal on the 556i and I could not resist...the 104 is also so much fun!
18cm wrist?
Yeah, I just measured. 18 centimeter.
556 with glossy dial is the best )
👍
can you review some watches which are worldwide available see bcz i am an Indian
Good video, you are quite a Sinner
You pronunciation of the German words made me giggle.
I’m a consummate professional. 😜
wait what the hell? you are the podcastage LMAO
Maybe so.
@@Watchcastage i've watched videos on this channel for a while and i never realised it smh
The red second hand version i a bit more exciting...
Definitely more of an interesting look. I was tempted, but I sometimes struggle to see reds, so I opted for the white second hand version.
April fools?
38mm no thanks
to big?
Over priced. Timefactors Speedbird 111 PRS-22 is better specced, brilliantly finished and less than half the price. This watch doesn't make sense.
I just can't believe this thing costs that much...
You lost me at 49mm lug-to-lug.
The Sinn 556A is 45.4mm lug-to-lug (and 11mm thick). Perfect for small wrists (16-17cm).
Its nice but borring.Not worth the $$
