The Daily Beater
Hi everyone. I don’t use watchcrunch much but it’s really a great platform with the most sane bunch of watch enthusiasts. I recently bought this and love it so wanted to share. Max did a Sinn 556 video recently but I think this 556ib is the best of the bunch. A cleaner dial with an amazing blue sun ray dial but the same case. and my own beat up leather strap. I think it’s the perfect every day watch. dresses up/down, great looks and proportion, unassuming, sits there quietly and reliably. And I got it for about £800.
what do you guys think? What watches are your equivalent daily beaters, regardless of price? Please share!

For me it is the 556 a rs .
One of my favorit Sinn watches.

Sinn's are great watches and it's good to see one doing what it's designed for.
Here's mine(obviously not a Sinn, £800 on a watch that might get beaten up😱) a £65 ebay seiko(and it runs like it as well🤪) but it does its job in a fashion. It's all about perspective I suppose, and I baby my more expensive peices which is probably a bit silly,should use em and take the wear n tear as a consequence of wearing and enjoying my pieces. Great post and enjoy your Sinn.
Not exactly a daily but this 556i gets as much wear as any in my collection.
Very understated watch , great choice
As much I prefer a date wheel, I got no problem with it missing here. I love the simplicity.
I don't really have a "beater" watch but this isn't preventing me congratulating you on a very nice watch. The 556 is great.

Awesome

They’re great watches aren’t they?
I have a Sinn 556A that I really enjoy. I'm thinking about getting a 104. II wouldn't call watches in that price range beaters, but more in the everyday watch category. My beaters, watches I would wear in a rough and tumble situation, are a Casio Duro and G-Shock 5600.
It's a beautiful watch. I like the numerals best but indices are cool too.
I've been really digging sinn more and more over the past month. Absolutely love their clean designs.
This looks great haven’t really checked out Sinn enough, are there places to try them on (UK) anyone knows of?
Not many retailers for Sinn in the UK. if you look up Sinn uk on goodie you’ll come up with a few places but may not be close to you
Great looking watch and this is a great beater for sure as well. Sinn is a brand I haven’t picked up yet but definitely want to
Nice Sinn! One of these days I’ll get a U50 or a 104. I’ve got watch crushes on those 2.
In my case a daily needs a date. My daily beater is my Apinist Ginza, and to some extent my GS Sakura (which I can’t call a beater but I love wearing for all but the most watch abusive tasks!)

I love that grand seiko. That brand is epic. One day!

Not at all. I’m a dad of two little girls obsessed with that crap. I’m actually an orthopaedic surgeon, I fix bones for a living!
