Help with strap on Sinn 900 Aviator

[IntegraTypeR]

Hi all,

Today I picked up my first ever "grown up" watch

As I have quite small wrists, I need to connect the second strap that comes with the watch. I'm sure it's quite obvious to everyone else, but does anyone know why the second strap has the small fixed loop that sits just below the buckle? also, why does the strap have a buckle fitted at all?

All very confusing!

Thanks for any help you can give

personally I would have thought that the second strap would be for people with wrists like tree trunks.

NB: I know nothing about watches. Nothing. The above is a complete guess

Ahh I think you might be right! that would make more sense.

Ok so maybe I need to punch a new hole into the existing strap then

Each time you edit a post, you can delete the footnotes at the bottom you know.

Yep, the extra bit will be an extension strap, usually they are for stuff like going over the top over diving suits.

I was looking at getting the 900 as it's an excellently thought out design for purpose, loads (if not all) the current Sinn tech included and super legible in the fuss free Sinn fashion - really good. Did you consider the U1000 at all? My wrists are puny but would happily wear one, be interesting to see the ubiquitus wrist pic.
My eventual choice should be arriving next week, an EZM1 le, the 41mm size will be easier for me I think but it was a tough choice between it, the 900 and the U1000 - intelligently engineered instruments all of them, congrats!

Thanks Andy.

I did check the entire Sinn range online and the 900 appealed the most. Lots of other watches in the range are also very nice though so I'm sure there's something for everyone

It is a very big watch compared to anything I've owned before so I'm just wearing it around the house at the moment to get a feel for it. Jura will give a full refund up to 1 month after delivery if you're not entirely happy. At the moment my feelings are that I can just about wear it without it looking ridiculous (it's close though!). Will give it a day or two to make my mind up.

Only annoying thing was that it took about 1 month to arrive so was getting a little restless!
