Sinn's U1 has been one of the quintessential German dive watches since its release back in 2005. However, the U1's 44mm wide x 50mm long case and 14.5mm thickness made the watch simply too large for many enthusiasts to get in on the over-engineered German dive watch fun. When Sinn announced the new 41mm U50 last year, a lot of Sinn fans were understandably excited. In this video, we'll do a detailed review of the U50 taking into account the specs, wearability, design, and movement to see how it stacks up in a crowded dive watch space.

Agree with the general coolness of the brand. Looking at the Watchbuys website though is disappointing. It’s like they just carry a small portion of the brand’s calalogue, and even those it seems that 60 - 70% are out of stock...

I have had my U1 blue fully tegimented for about a year and a half. I work with my hands in pretty rough conditions. On the ground, on rooftops and all over uncomfortable places. It still looks brand new. This thing is a tank and I love it.

@patrick7228 3 года назад

Sinn continue to be underrated in my opinion. Their accuracy is always top notch. My current Sinn 104 green runs close to zero on wrist all day and maybe plus or minus one, off wrist. They have some great designs and as stated, it seems they are unconcerned with following others and just want to make high quality pieces. I think I might pick up this one. I could imagine many thinking this might be unattractive but I love it.

@cardinalj 3 года назад

Love the 104 green. Beautiful dial

@drmanhattan225 7 месяцев назад

Agree. Regrettably I sold my 104, however it was probably the most accurate watch I owned. If there is one criticism I'd say they need to improve their deployment clasp.

@davidmorais2394 Год назад

I bought the u50 late last year and had to wait about 3 months for delivery. When it arrived, I was dismayed by its weight. So I kept putting off using it or sizing the silicon straps. I’m an avid scuba diver and while I use digital metering equipment, I also wear analog equipment as back up on every dive. About 2 months ago, I decided to try out the u50 before making a decision on keeping it. I used a nato strap to avoid sizing the silicon straps in case I didn’t want to keep the watch. As soon as I wore it, I realised it was exceptionally well designed - the weight disappeared and it felt very comfortable on my wrist. And as a diving tool, it is perfect. Legible and sound and perfect luminescent markers for night diving. It is clearly a precision tool and extremely well engineered and presented. Confidence inspiring. As soon as I returned from that dive trip, I sized both the red and black straps and will keep the watch and use it on every dive. Frankly, I like it so much, I have been using it as my daily and giving my Rolex Explorer (2010, 114270) a break. Good diver’s watch for divers.

@nickchang5293 3 года назад

Great review and I like this piece for its more subdued and matted finish, which is more utilitarian for a premium dive watch. Btw, you and I have the same wrist size so your hands-on videos are also a great reference for how the piece would look on me. Cheers, Teddy!👍🏻

Black bezel tegemented version on white rubber is 🔥! Thanks teddy. Always well spoken.

@1581zebra Год назад

I’ve had a U1 for six months now, and the legibility cannot be overstated. I’ve heard people comment on it, and it was always clear from pictures that it’s true. What isn’t clear until you wear one for a month, is just how much it’s true. I’ve worn Seiko divers since 92 iirc, and have always enjoyed their simplicity and legibility. The U1 is on another level. In low light, the ONLY thing you see is the hands and markers. It’s like voodoo. Also, even though the lume is not as bright as my seikos for sure, it’s more legible after a couple of hours. If I wake up at 3-4 am wearing a Seiko, I have to squint to see the time and it takes a few seconds to read it. The U1 is almost instantly readable in the same circumstance. These watches are fantastic, and my U1 will forever remain my daily.

@daveopincar2469 3 года назад

Great review Teddy. Lov my U50T on bracelet. This model will give Sinn more respect and owners of the 104 or 556 a diver to get. The technology and durability is great for Sinn owners an the watch community. Keep the reviews coming. Stay healthy and safe Thank You for your work.

@Carvewater 3 года назад

Just got mine a few weeks ago. Absolutely love it and it’s not like I needed another dive watch. My recommendation is get the fully tegmented version. This is something that truly makes this brand and watch unique plus it will keep the watch looking new. Bracelet is awesome but one complaint. No micro adjustment but an old technology of 3 holes for the pin to move around. I’m sure cost is a big factor and frankly for the money this is still a value buy relative to other brands with less quality. For me it was a choice between the U50 and the EZM 1.1. Soooo glad I did the u50.

@dustytriumph 2 года назад

Great comprehensive review. I want one. I had a 104 that I recently traded that was pretty much +/-0 day. After a week +1 total. I never really bonded with it because of the high polish and chunky non-drilled thru lugs. Seriously considered getting it blasted. If it was 39mm with a SS engraved bezel, an inky black dial and the case and bezel had an overall fine brush or soft blast finish I would have kept it. This U50 really appeals to me. Love the thinness, the finish, the bezel matching the case, the crown position and the strong tool presence without being elephantine in size. Much appreciated with 6 3/8" wrist. Unfortunate for me however is the price of admission.

@mattmans91 2 года назад

I previously owned a Sinn EZM 9 but at 44mm was a little too big so I sold the timepiece but thought it was phenomenal. I recently purchased the U50 SDR T and absolutely love it as a beater. It’s accurate, indestructible and esthetically appealing. I changed out the thick Sinn silicone strap for a red Rubber B Tropic Strap and found it to be more comfortable. This is a great complement to my Rolex tool watches and Tudor BB pro and Pelagos 39.

Great review of my favorite watch. Are you sure about the ‘top grade’ of the SW300? Sinn themselves say that it’s the ‘premium grade’, adjusted to +0-10s/day.

@davidmulligan42 3 года назад

I love it! I passed on the U1 years ago because I felt it was a bit too large for me, and I'm not a fan of their bracelet. If I buy a U50, I'll go for the rubber strap. There are a couple of other watches in my sights, though, and I just bought a Clerc Hydroscaph to satisfy the itch for a dive watch.

@NanoDex 3 года назад

I owned and loved the Sinn U1 for about a year. I had to let it go for financial reasons and miss it so! This U50 though is really a win! Watching that little Chicklet second hand go around is a pleasure. The T2 is also high high on my list. I love what Sinn does, they are so unique and cool. Save some money, dont buy an omega or rolex, enjoy the coolness of these German rigs!! The tegimented metal that Sinn does is INCREDIBLE, almost as hard as sapphire and crazy scratch resistant. The fully teg models are probably worth the extra cost if you want a real tank of a watch! I had the one with only teg on the bezzel and wow was it perfect despite trying to abuse it at one point by doing car work with it on. Review the Sinn 103!!! Is it the perfect vintage chronograph? I think so! In person the 103 sa st is just a dream. Another one I really should not have sold!!!! I will be buying a 103 again soon, its too perfect. Also the Sinn 140 is super cool! All the Sinn!

@bmike679 2 года назад

Teddy I am back and forth between the U1 VS the U50 what would you recommend for a 7 1/2 inch wrist between the two. I feel like less is more and at times like the thinness of the u50 but am worried it will look to small due to the dial bezel ratio. I own watches from 38mm to my max a planet ocean 45.5 2500. I would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks for all the videos and great content. Keep up the amazing work

@NanoDex 3 года назад

Sinn is the best! Support a small company that makes wonderful and unique sturdy watches!! The entry level Sinns are nice, but it really gets started on value around this U50, U1, T2 all the high tech ones. To me, they feel on par with stuff 10k+. Despite its tool looks, it feels and looks very expensive in person. Rolex doesn't need another customer!

I want this watch, but it definitely suits the rubber strap more than the bracelet. For this reason, I don't think I can purchase it as I need the watch to have more than just a 'casual' weekend look; which is what the rubber strap gives off. When spending that amount of cash, I'd want it to be able to pull off more looks and have more versatility. ...love the design and legibility. Great watch

My non tegimented U1 is turning 6 this year. I've taken it everywhere and never babied it but can pass off as LNIB if not for some light wear on the clasp. About as tool watch as tool watches can go.
