The Best Everyday Watches for $1,000 - Sinn 556 I vs Sinn 556 I B

Finding a watch that is capable of taking on every scenario is something I quickly realized is harder to find than one might think, especially with more limited budgets. However, in this video, we look at two of my favorite everyday watches on the market with the Sinn 556 I and 556 I B.

The best recommendation for someone who just wants one nice watch for around $1, 000. Built like a tank and can be rocked in a swimsuit, business suit, and everything in between.

I realy love Sinn watches. That German over engineering is amazing and they offer incredible value

These are both great everyday beaters. Full disclosure, I am a Sinn Fanboy, but you just can’t go wrong with these. Super (Bordering on fanatical) build quality, with no nonsense pricing make these the perfect choice for anyone who likes to fly under the radar.

I considered the blue version, but finally went for the black one. I like the deep glossy black and the versatility of the monochromatic color scheme. Furthermore I chose the leather strap (don´t like bracelets too much), which brought the price down to under 900 Euros. Great value for money.

I bought a Sinn 556 I watch in 2013, as many have noted it's a versatile piece that can be worn with just about anything. About a year or so ago, however, it started losing significant time, and/or stopping completely overnight. I just sent into RGM for an estimate on repairs, they came back with...$535 to service. I recognize automatic watches require servicing, but that's pretty steep considering the price of the watch. Curious to hear from other owners what their maintenance experiences have been like.

Wow these have significantly increases in cost since you made this video.

$1000+ for this...???? pleAAAAssse... give me a break, I’ll take Hamilton, Ball or Tissot over this any day.

I have a 556i and I love it. However, one thing that annoys me, is the build quality of the clasp on the H-link bracelet. It's rattly and the outer part is of a thin, pressed, sheet construction. Closing it doesn't feel positive and just uses friction to stay shut. It's been unchanged for years and really needs replacing with something worthy of a watch costing over a grand.

I'm planning on buying a 556 A on the H-Link bracelet sometime soon, it feels like the affordable, German version of the Explorer 1. Great video!

[tonytrinidad]

I couldn’t decide between 556i or 556a, fine ink vs h-link bought both for ease of mind. Couldn’t be happier.

I made my choice a few months ago: the 556 I B, but with the H-link bracelet. I was smitten by the sunburst blue dial, and the applied hands and indices. The lack of a date window also gives the dial a cleaner look in my opinion. The H-link bracelet seemed the most practical of the two offered bracelets due to the ability to make micro-adjustments and the diver’s extension. The drilled lug holes also make the 556 make swapping out the bracelet with a leather or textile strap easier.

Great video, Teddy! 👍🏼

I like the bracelet better on the blue, but I gotta go with the black

[Adolguinol]

I just bought the 556 A in the Frankfurt store with a red seconds had 😬

[kennethdjones]

Another impeccable review. I like the black dial version. A watch you can wear everyday for every scenario. I might have to scoop up one...one of these days. Thanks again. All the best.

[gratefulot]

The Sinn 556I looks great. Thanks, Teddy for the review.

[lamaludwig]

I have the 556i for some years now and *love* it beside my Omega Speedy Pro, Seamaster 300 Co-Ax and Junghans Max Bill Chronoscope. Most of the time I wear the Sinn on H-link bracelet but it's also beautiful on a brown strap.

[hedhunta]

The black pearl dial one is my favourite, just wish it came with a date window but might buy one anyway because of the dial but also the amazing specs

[jwso]

The 556 I was my first better watch, a seriously nice piece. Wish they made a blue gloss dial version like Tudor with the BB36!

[mdesmet]

Personally I really love the 556A, especially on leather strap.

[frankiegreaser]

For me the perfect Sinn 556 would be the black one but without the date and with same hands and applied markers as the blue one. So basically the blue version with a glossy black dial.
Thanks for the Video. I am coming back to this many times per year becasue I am not sure which one to get and I still hope for my perfect black version 🙂Cheeers Teddy and Greetings from Germany
