Would you feel ok about swimming with a Sinn 356 Flieger?

I searched around here and on Google and did not find any answers I felt comfortable with.

I just got a copper dial 356 and am really liking it as I thought I would.

It's stated as 100m, but it's such a pretty watch that I just don't feel 110% comfortable about swimming with it.

Just asking for other owners experience with them (doesn't have to be the copper dial).

Also, any idea if the pushers can be used to time laps?

I love that watch! That copper dial is quite stunning and unique. Love the modest size too at 38.5. I think it has a screw-down crown, so with the 100 meter WR swimming should be fine. But you should check your user manual or contact Sinn about operating the pushers underwater; some chronos are fine with that, but I'd check. But I guess you wouldn't need to do that swimming laps anyway, so probably not an issue.

Why would you want to do that? Its clearly not a diver so it will be taking a lot of risk to take it swimming.

Bottom line is its your watch so you can do whatever you like. IMO its better to buy a $20 Casio for swimming and timing laps.

No a problem with that sort of water rating.

The general precautions for this water resistance rating are:
- don't operate pushers under water.
- make sure that any screw crown is properly tightened.

Enjoy the swim.
