Their dials are just so… bland. It’s always black and white and minimalist to a fault. Like there’s nothing interesting. Even Nomos has splashes of color here and there and play on typography. For example Nomo’s simplest watch - Tangente, has a slight splash of color with blue hands. Other minimal dress watches usually differentiate with dial finishing - like with sunburst or a textured dial. But nope, Sinn design language is just: stainless steel, pure black, sans-serif numbers, and white indices. That’s it. Yet they are super loved in here. Help me understand?

    Paying thousands to pretend your watch is a “tool” is incredibly stupid. A Garmin is a few hundred bucks and has actual useful features that could save your life.

      No one is pretending, we just prefer the way it looks. It’s a piece of jewelry like any other mechanical watch. You do realize what subreddit you’re on, right?
