@@DJHeadshotHunter Before complementing Teddy, keep in mind that he reviews watches that he sells as a authorized dealer, which for me represents a conflict of interest.
@@hjander get yours facts straight before spreading false information. Teddy isn't an AD for Sinn. Yes some stuff he reviews, he also does sell, but in this case your comments are false.
Let's be honest here : you're making the best videos about watches I've ever seen, I've ever dreamt of, actually. The cinematography is perfect, every single picture is absolutely beautiful, the review is built like a story, but is always insightful, even the music is chosen with great taste (Bach here, for a German watch). It's like you've taken inspiration from other watch channels but you turn it into something new and truly amazing. I wish you the best. Every watch geek should subscribe to this channel. Great work! Thanks
I couldn't have said it any better, so I am not going to even try. I did notice the Bach, as your words and this channel are pure class. New subscriber here. By the way, it's the only video that I have seen where the speaker can actually get away with a very tactful f--- em'. Awesome...
Building an all-purpose watch seems to be one of the most difficult tasks in luxury watch design. To me the Sinn 556I is one of the best allrounders in the field of mechanical watches, no matter which price point you are looking at. Arguably the best alternative that is also capable of doing it all seems to be the Rolex Explorer 214270 which is far more expensive. Even though it is much cheaper than the Rolex the quality and reliability of the Sinn is impeccable. Compared to the Rolex the Sinn has the benefit of drilled lugholes, so you can easily dress it up or down using different straps, plus it has a date function.
Love this watch to bits! it may not longer the best watch for 1k but for 1.3k these days it probably is still the best value for its price, the regulation of the top grade SW200 movement is amazing and it is just beautiful.
I have Rolex, Breitling, Omega, and others...but I'm lusting after the quality, practicality, and utility of this Sinn. Will be seeing one at their NY roadshow in 2 weeks and if it fits me well, it might be my only watch.
Gorgeous shooting, and well presented review! You earned a sub. The Sinn 556i really speaks to me, it's everything I want in a watch: versatile, robust, sleek, no bullshit, well engineered. I'm starting to save up for it, one day it will be mine! May I ask how big your wrist is? Fits you perfectly.
Lab Monkey well it is a sinn. These watches are amazing in terms of the technology they pack and the price. I have a U1 fully tegimented and i really love it
Your fuck’em sounded like the most graceful fuck’em in the history of fuck’ems. And great review mate! 556i is my current grail and I’m a year away from being able to afford one.
Again, another great review! - The 556 A has by far the best legibility of all my watches. I visited the Sinn factory in Frankfurt shortly after I bought it in 2018. Bang-for-buck wise, I think Sinn makes the best tool watches.
This video 🙌, this video right here, was the first YoureTerrific video I ever watched! And years later I still come back to watch this, as it's one of the best on RUclips of the Sinn 556i, just like the watch it's a classic. I wonder if you still have the watch and if so is it not time to do a follow up video, similar to what you have just done for the Pelagos?
completely agree. I have a 556i r on a black leather strap and I adore it. Going for bracelet soon.....plus a white dial watch is my next purchase - the Monta I hope.
I mean yeah sure it's well built, has a nice movement and clean simple no nonsense design but to me it's a tool watch and nothing more. Nothing luxury about it and certainly not a dress watch. Nice video btw! Well done!
The problem with this Sinn is that the antireflective coat is on top of the crystal and gets scratched easily. Looking at a scratched crystal all day would drive me crazy.
Do you own this watch and see scratches all over the crystal? Or do you just assume that the antireflecrive coating scratches easily but actually have not experienced it with this watch in person?
@@cresperion No, I do not own this watch. Materials that has high Mohs hardness scale number don't scratch. Such as sapphire. AR coat is a 6.5 Mohs harness. That means it will scratch (science). But, maybe you should buy it and experience for yourself. Maybe yours well defy science.
I simply wanted to make the point that just because it has outer AR coating doesn't mean it gets "scratched easily". While the hardness is certainly less than sapphire, it is still above mineral crystal, on par or even above hardened mineral crystal. Furthermore, there are different coating qualities and I have not heard many bad things about the Sinn coating regarding scratches (mainly from people that assume it will scratch but actually have no direct experience...like you). The 2 year old watch from the video also doesn't really show a scratched crystal. Also, if it gets scratches, they will most likely be tiny and barely visible as the depth of the scratch cannot be more than the thickness of the AR coating, which is minute. Lastly, if one actually gets a scratch that is bothering, one can simply remove the AR coating in 10 min. Until then, I personally find the superior, glare-free view through the crystal worth it.
@@cresperion He's right, the AR coating does scratch. I have this watch and the coating on them has some scratches. Not that a big deal for me but if it's important for someone, the fact is the coating does scratch. İ still love it very much, the simplicity and the size and the bracelet.
@@sehnsuchtstraeger I suppose/hope you actually have to look for these scratches under the right light to see them? And won't see them when you just look at it casually to read the time?
Just bought a Sinn 556i from watchbuys and got a watch with a misaligned dial and I'm 100% watchbuy gave it to me on purpose. They claim a misaligned dial is withing tolerance. The 556i quality has gone down hill in the latest batches, do yourself a favor and stay away from watchbuys unless you want to get burned.
@@hyprz No believe it or not the Sinn rep told me that is was normal to have a misaligned dial and they will do nothing about it. Sinn is an absolutely horrible watch maker and screw them and watchbuys. I was willing to pay out of my pocket shipping and repairs, I wasn't asking for them to do it for free.
@@hyprz No, I have not. The actually printing on the dial indices are off so a local watch repairer won't simply have a Sinn i556 brand new black dial handy to swap it out. Local watch repairers are not to be trusted in my opinion unless you are doing a simple resize. I rather send it to a authorized Sinn watch repairer regardless if it's a simple dial swap. I forgot the exact name but it's RGM a specific USA based watch repairer that Sinn or watchbuys recommends doing service on Sinn watches. I emailed him and he never replied back to me even after I said I out of my pocket would pay for the repair, he never replied back to my email. Beware because Sinn and watchbuys did me really wrong. I would have bought another Sinn but the bad taste in my mouth that Sinn has left me made me disgusted with the brand.
@@hyprz I potentially have great news and should thank you for it. Because of your reply it got me to contact Sinn and RGM I believe that's the authorized repairer for Sinn watched in North America. Long story short after speaking to RGM customer service rep they told me they would send a email that I could provide pictures to see if they could do something about it. I sent the pictures and the reply I got is they couldn't do anything but today I received a new email saying Sinn would cover the replacement of the dial. So thank you for bringing this back up or I would have a brand new watch sitting in my safe and still be upset. Now I am somewhat happy and hoping I could one day use my Sinn i556, if they fix my watch I will have to go back on everything I said about Sinn online to report this great news. Will give a follow up when I get back the watch, it might take a while.
Fuck no. You can do much better for a 1000 dollars. That ETA movement is dirt cheap. And that rotor is just plated gold and it doesn't even have the high quality steel the brand is known for
Man what a refreshing take on a watch review....no condescending tone or accent or a 10 minute intro on unnecessary details! Just good video footage and well chosen words, not to mention a great watch (I'm wearing my Sinn 556i as I write this). Very much a less is more approach and its appreciated. Thank you!
It's my one and only watch and I love it. Can definitely recommend too. Maybe think about getting the version with the red seconds pointer though, the 556 I RS.
Why anyone would spend the cash on a Rolex Explorer with this on the market is beyond me. I loved the review, love the 556i and just love Sinn as a brand overall.
Don't get me wrong, I love this Sinn but a Rolex is quite different to a Sinn. Technically they're not that far off but some people do genuinely want to pay more for the prestigious image.
I can speak from experience. Had a mark I Explorer 39 mm for 18 months. Never clicked with me, the shiny markers and lack of AR coating made it look cheap under many lighting. Ended up selling it and never looked back. On the other end, bought a 556a early 2019. Works on leather, rubber, nylon, the dimensions are perfect and with a 200 meter depth rating, it’s really a timepiece you never have to worry about. Additional benefit : the risk of getting mugged or stabbed or having your wrist cut off by thieves is fairly low, as it flies under the radar (pun intended 😀)
"Fuck'em!" Lol I love this guy, this is what I like to see in watch review videos. Thank for making the watch collector standards realistic. Keep up the amazing work!
This is the absolutely the best review of any watch that I have ever seen. I actually have a Damasko DA36 and DA46 and I enjoy them both. Since leaving the Sinn team and starting his own Damasko line, it's very obvious to see why the DA36 is so similar to the Sinn 556i. They are both stunning in their own right, but I must say that I now want to own a 556i. I sadly traded my awesome Sinn U1 a few years back, but I loved the bracelet ( which looks identical, on a smaller level ) to the one on the 556i. My next watch purchase will be the 556i on the bracelet, as it simply exudes class. On a side note, I also love the Sinn U1b, as that cool matte blue with matching rubber strap is also calling my name. I do own an early iteration of the Omega Planet Ocean, so I do enjoy the Swiss style as well. I find that the value of the entry level Sinn and Damasko are simply very hard to beat. With my latest above rambling on, I realize just how much I dig this watch world. At any rate, the Sinn 556i and the video are pure class. I just subscribed and keep up the great work...
Great review of a great watch! Love my Sinn 556i as well. I also own this exact watch since two years and was SO close to selling it while buying another, more toolwatch inspired Sinn (the 757 UTC). I'm glad I didn't because I just saw the piece in my watch box and couldn't think about selling it for another second. It was the right decision!
I don't own a watch, but these videos are making me see the beauty behind each piece. It's like having mastery, where the craft is pushed, resting on your wrist as it reminds you, can you achieve something like me? Seeing it so close makes me want to pursue that level of craft in my field.
When I first got into watches I liked larger sizes and more shouty "look at me" designs. As I refined my taste over the next couple of years I realised I much prefer watches on the smaller side (38mm-40mm) and designs that look like they're a part of you, instead of something that stands out and demands attention. For these reasons I think this Sinn 556i is the best looking watch on the market. Can't wait to purchase one - I own many watches but I expect this to be the one that gets the most wrist time.
update: I ordered the 556i not long after the original comment but didn't like how the inky black glossy dial in person. Just didn't work for me...so I switched it for a 556a (matte black dial) and never looked back. One of my favourites in the collection without a doubt - what a great watch!
Lovely review- your images really show off the beauty of this watch well, and the music for once is unobtrusive, and your comments are occasional but important and to the point. An understand and excellent review
Perfect size for my 6.5" wrist. The diameter of 38.5mm is important, but the 46mm lug-to-lug length tells me it will hug my wrist. Regarding the 556i's value for money, well I still find myself returning to Stowa. Enjoyed your review, and the tastefull fading in/out of the music.
Beautiful review, you are a horological poet! There's plenty of places I can go to for my full technical data, but at the end of the day the buy-not-buy decision is always based on emotions and that's what you address. Now I promised myself I won't buy another watch due to all this pandemic and the resulting economic uncertainty, so if I do buy a Sinn it's your fault, OK? :)
Your view on watches is quite realistic unlike the more popular YT watch chanels. I share your enthousiasm about Sinn. Just bought a 556 IB and it's an absolute stunner. Though I think it's formal capabilities are somewhat limited. In the end it remains an elegent tool/field watch and not really a dresser. I wish you good luck and take care. Cheers from The Netherlands.
Great review man. Love this watch..

My only suggestion would be to consider the 856. MUCH better technology but the same aesthetic. Sinn makes awesome watches!
What a difference three years makes. Stilll a fantastic watch, but less attainable at well over $1000 now
A beautiful watch indeed!

Great review. Love the music. Love the watch. It would be good to hear a little more technical details and features of wearability. Thanks.
Still true in 2022? Any alternatives to consider for same price range.
It has all the classic designs in one: the case of Hamilton khaki, bracelet of PP Nautilus, dial of Rolex Datejust and watch hands of IWC big pilot.
Great Videos as seen so far. You got a new follower and you deserve many more.
"Fuck 'em". Solid advice.
Great video thank you. Just can’t decide now between this or the SBGX291 for my one and only daily watch.... mhh.
Good video

Do you still own this watch? If so, are your thoughts still the same?
2 years of ownership and it looks almost brand new, not any noticeable scratches. Amazing. How did you maintain it so well?
As far as i can see the whole case and bracelet are brushed, and its way harder to scratch a brushed surface compared to a polished one

Lovely review- your images really show off the beauty of this watch well, and the music for once is unobtrusive, and your comments are occasional but important and to the point. An understand and excellent review
Perfect size for my 6.5" wrist. The diameter of 38.5mm is important, but the 46mm lug-to-lug length tells me it will hug my wrist. Regarding the 556i's value for money, well I still find myself returning to Stowa. Enjoyed your review, and the tastefull fading in/out of the music.
Beautiful review, you are a horological poet! There's plenty of places I can go to for my full technical data, but at the end of the day the buy-not-buy decision is always based on emotions and that's what you address. Now I promised myself I won't buy another watch due to all this pandemic and the resulting economic uncertainty, so if I do buy a Sinn it's your fault, OK? :)
Great video! Could you tell us what's your wrist size ? (So I can get an idea of how good or bad it would look on my tiny wrist).
Your view on watches is quite realistic unlike the more popular YT watch chanels. I share your enthousiasm about Sinn. Just bought a 556 IB and it's an absolute stunner. Though I think it's formal capabilities are somewhat limited. In the end it remains an elegent tool/field watch and not really a dresser. I wish you good luck and take care. Cheers from The Netherlands.
Came for the Sinn, stayed for the Bach.
Thanks for using Bach's music for opening your video.
"Most people will never be able to afford a Patek Phillipe, or a rolex. And that's fine. Fuck 'em." Beautiful.
Intro music name?
Love the review!! Excellent job.
I love the design, but for this kind of money I'd might like a better movement than the 2824.
What grade of 2824 is it?
Top grade like in all Sinn watches with ETA movement.
@YoureTerrific I'd be interested to know why it was getting so little wrist time that you chose to sell it. Thanks. Cool vids.

dominionn09 lol, the man on the phucking moon!
What is your wrist size?
I really like the sterile look on this 556. Your videos are just awesome. Calm and relaxing.
Man the energy has changed in your videos. Super interesting to see the evolution here and on other watch channels. Keep it going!!!!!
Well said. I feel so much better after watching this video. 👍🏾

Love the presentation! Love my 556A. Have it since 8 years runs on spot too!
Instant subscribe based only on this first video of yours I’ve seen. Bravo.
Best review I’ve seen... it’s inspired me to start saving for this beautiful watch
Just discovered your channel. Amazing review and the Bach/ German watch matching is pure class. Subscribed!
Your reviews are perfection! If you reviewed a grain of sand I would still watch it from start to finish.
