my black U1 hasnt left my wrist since i rec'd it.  the watch definitely grows on me and it has a different feel to the original u1. I agree wholeheartedly - great tool watch and best value for the bang tool!
I am  also disappointed that the strap cannot accommodate a wet-suit - unlike the original u1 buckle

cheers

Like Jim, I'm beginning to think whether I should try to get hold of one myself. Cheers, CS

and speak my mind about sinn watches. i find tegimented steel appealing for its toughness but have yet found the right model with the finishing and styling that i like. at tempus, harry was kind enough to let me examine his watch briefly, i noticed that t...

Good to hear from you a.ler. I didn't realise you were at Tempus, would have loved to catch up. The U1 is definitely not perfect, but the pros outweigh the cons, and at this price it is best of class IMHO. I did notice the slight difference in tone betwee...

The U2 Black will be released next year at BASEL2008 as the first standard all black version. U1 Black standard will arrive much later according to L Schmidt. Cheers Harry
