Horological Meandering

I have a soft spot for Sinn...

 

...and have flirted with various models (U1, U2, EZM-3), and figure I'll buy one someday as a fun tooling-around piece, so I have to give a nod to the brand for offering IMO attractive, functional (from reports from trusted WIS), casual watches.  I'm not a diver so can't really speak to the merits of all these brands for actual watersports (you'll need someone like BDLJ for that), but in the looks and daily wear functionality department for me I prefer the Sinn U1 and Rolex Submariner/Sea-Dweller over the UTS (just my opinion, of course).  I love the Rolex's classic looks and Glidelock clasp on the new Sub and Deep Sea.  I think the UTS loses me in the aesthetics department.  Like you, I find the lugs awkward.  There's room for improvement there.  Still, it looks to be a robust piece from the specs you present, so why not?!  I'm sure it's an enjoyable watch!

Cheers,
Daos

While most of my collection is pretty much set, I've always been on a somewhat quixotic quest for the "perfect mechanical dive watch". It has taken me through Seiko, Rolex, several Omega Seamasters and Planet Oceans, Ball and Glashutte Original. These day...

I love my diving watches but am not really interested about watches with ETA movement. However, I think that LLD is the diving watch with the best value for the money if one appreciates the history of the watch and that the Sinn diving watches (U1 & U...

seems to be a popular dive watch, or is this too common as well? I know nothing about the movement, but it is an attractive watch. The watch you are showing is very nice: great pictures. My only differing comment is that I prefer a fabric or rubber strap,...

As far as tool divers go, UTS competes with the best of the best, IMO. From your list, I own two Rolexes (a 16800 matte-dial and DSSD), GO (Sport Evo GMT) and Kobold (stainless steel SEAL), and in no way, shape or form does my UTS 3000M suffer in comparis...
