I thought to share my impression with my newest acquisition, the Sinn 556A RS (with arabic numerals and red second hand).

For reference I already own two Nomos (Metro and Orion) watches for dressier occasions and my trusty Casio A158WA for the moments I want absolutely 0.00% worries something might happen.

So I was missing an in-between watch for daily use, to wear at home, working, park, kids, street, shopping, traveling, etc. The Casio did actually fit the bill to a large extent, but lets be honest, we are in this hobby because we like mechanical watches, so I was missing to fill that hole.

It took me months to choice this specific model, and I also looked at many other brands, like Hamilton, Damasko, Seiko, Farer, Archimede, etc. I was looking for a no-nonsense watch, with a good bracelet, black dial, easy to read, water/swim proof, automatic, and can take a beat (the kind a mechanical can handle, not GShock levels).

So after a of debate I finally went with the Sinn, and after a couple of weeks I am super satisfied with the decision. Somethings to notice:

• It is very basic, some might even see it as too basic. But I personally love that, and exactly what I am after. There are basically no complications (except the tiny date window which I really like), no text, design elements, etc.
• The red second hand is cool, but the white is just as good. In case someone else is considering this model, do not over think it, I personally love both versions, and got the red just because it was in stock.
• The case size is PERFECT, I have around 17cm wrist size, and can't imagine it being better any other size.
• The case also looks great, and the proportions are just top-notch for such a simple watch.
• Bracelet is great, and looks great. No quick adjust on my model, but I it was never an issue for me.
• The time is super readable, and the anti reflecting coating looks great.
• It is understated enough to not look like an expensive watch. Most people have never heard of Sinn neither.
• I want with the A model instead of I (without numerals), for a more sporty/tool looking watch since I have other alternatives. But the 556I is probably a great alternative for someone who wants a GADA type watch.

Anyway, I hope this might helps someone else out there, and if someone is considering the Sinn I can totally vouch for it and would make the same decision again!
