It’s a great bracelet if it fits you. I’m lucky that line fits perfectly, but I’d love some adjustability like my Planet Ocean has.

I’d give anything for a micro-adjustable clasp for the Sinn bracelets.

Always get the Sinn bracelet. Looks great. And getting it on is traumatic.

I got lucky. Im on the middle of the latch adjustment - I could see who this could be a hassle if I was 1/4" either way.

I think it's on for good. It was a MASSIVE PIA to put on...

Many hate the Sinn clasps, but I love them. Very Sinn in a weird way. Absolutely secure, but no extra material. I get that on the fly adjustments are great, but the Sinn clasp is small and low profile.

Sinn is selling the same old watches at new inflated prices while everyone else ups their game. They need to stop being lazy.

you can hardly call Sinn lazy... a new clasp might be low on their priority list, and could inflate the price further?

Name one update they’ve done on the U1 in the last 10 years, besides swapping to a cheaper movement.
Releasing goofy versions of all their watches, or fitting a different dial/hands IS lazy.

Not a U1 update, but the U50 is pretty cool. 500m and 11.7mm thin.

look at their full line, not just the dull U1... they are miles ahead of Rolex and Omega in continuing technical innovation and the diversity of their line, and from a much smaller company than the others... lazy they are not

Mine is 11 years old - but, that's ok with me. Still doesnt have a scratch on the case and has two tiny nicks on the crystal. I dont want or cant spend 2x for something newer that may or may not have the same incredibly iconic presence... I LOVE mine.
