The New Sinn 657

Their watches seem to ignore typical watch archetypes like “tough” or “advanced” to become something different, something exciting. The M800 is very well built, with strong lines and a hint of classic design. While it might be the technology inside the watch that brings you to the table, it is the looks that will likely seal the deal. The M800 is a mix of crisp design and function that melds together on your wrist.The CaseCrafted from titanium the case is thin, crisp and sculpted to fit snuggly on a wrist. This is a tech watch yet Oceanus has forgone the screen and chose to display much of the information on the chapter ring and the chronograph registers. The highly legible and yet informative dial does not feel cluttered while providing all of the information for the watches many functions. The right dial at three o’clock is for the day as well as the function information. In regular timekeeping, the watch will display the day on this dial and when you activate other features it takes on a contextual meaning varied by the function you have chosen.This makes the bracelet very hard to size if you have not dealt with collars before. The collar is a tiny metal ring about 1.5mm around and 3mm long and it sits an a recessed area in the center (lower) portion of each link. If you are going to size your own bracelet be sure to watch for these tiny yet crucial pieces. If you take it to the jewelers, be sure they give you all the collars, as they are very hard to replace. Outside of this issue, the bracelet is more than satisfactory and fits the style and quality of the watch well. ConclusionEven when this watch is considered outside of its technology, it’s still a competitor. The M800 is thin, light, comes on a beautiful bracelet, and is somehow equally at home with a fine suit as it is a t-shirt and jeans.
