Really cool how its engineered to be taken apart cleaned etc. Wonder whether the strap could accidentally pop off while wearing?

It's a bit of an oddball, but I like it. Surprisingly, it is selling very well.

Super cool, I've been eyeing that one in Germany.
By the way prices are going up on Sinn in Germany Sept 1st. so make your move if you're on the fence.

I'm pretty sure I need this!

Interesting quick release strap design. It actually makes quite a bit of sense for a watch intended to likely become in contact with various bio-hazards. You'd want the watch to be able to be readily disassembled for cleansing.

Also interesting that Sinn designed this mechanism to allow for the use of other standard straps such as nylon or leather.

I'll contrast the Sinn quick release strap design against the new Breitling Colt Skyracer and their quick release strap design. The Breitling design seems much more limiting in aftermarket options.

This watch has cool, but stupid features for most. First, I don't know many medical personnel that'd wear an expensive watch in a trauma type setting. You're very likely to lose it. Second, I can easily take a pulse manually in apx 15 seconds with nothing more than a regular quartz watch or a finger tip pulse reader (costs about $10). It'd take me longer to use a watch to do it. Third - if your watch is getting blood all over it, you're not wearing proper PPE. I generally remove my watch before a procedure, but if I keep it on, a standard glove will easily slip over it to prevent contact with body fluids. The only functional purpose I can see for the friction bezel is for dive type watch that are frequently subject to sand/dirt. I'd love to see this feature on the U series watches.
It's a unique design, but I think it's more of a gee-wiz cool styled watch than an actual tool.

That's Sinn in a nutshell more or less, these days.

Nope. That's always sans gloves.
