What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Sinn 6012

The Sinn 6012 is a handsome, complicated chronograph featuring five dial-side complications, including a moon phase, built on a modified ETA 7751 movement. Reviewers note its clean dial offers good legibility, though one wished for a red accent on the date pointer. One long-time enthusiast considers the Frankfurt series, including the 6012, to be overpriced. The 14.5mm thickness makes it a slightly tall dress option. Overall, owners and reviewers find the Sinn 6012 to be a well-executed, complicated chronograph, with the primary reservation being its perceived value.

Sinn 936 S

The Sinn 936 S is lauded for its purposeful bicompax dial, scratch-resistant TEGIMENT-hardened black-coated case, and the in-house SZ05 movement. Reviewers highlight its 60-minute register for immediate readability and 100 meters of water resistance with pushers operable underwater, along with 1,000 gauss anti-magnetism. At 43mm and 15mm thick, its size is noted as large, and the price is €4,150. One reviewer expressed a desire for a re-engineered bracelet from Sinn, considering it a brand weakness. Overall, reviewers rate the Sinn 936 S highly for its focused chronograph purpose and robust specifications at its price point.

From video reviewers

The high visibility dial design is a consensus strength. The lume brightness was noted as limited. Reviewers disagreed on the necessity of the date display.
