Thanks! That's a beauty!

Another +1 for the SM300 on a 7" wrist! I got one recently, had similar concerns bit it looks and fits great!

Thanks to everyone who shared their thoughts and suggestions! I really appreciate it!

Sorry I couldn't reply to each of you! But your wrist shots, your knowledge, and your taste in watches are awesome!

If I get the SMP, I'll post about it and let you all know!

Thanks again!

Hi all: here's the outcome . . . I felt like right now, an SMP 300m--awesome as it is--wasn't quite right for me. I needed something more affordable. Maybe when a vaccine comes out, I'll celebrate with a 300m! Until then, however, I am enjoying my new Sinn 104:

Looks absolutely perfect! above 44 mm on a average wrist is just silly.

Congrats on your choice! Sinn makes one heck of a tool watch. I often have a Sinn 103 strapped on my wrist at work. That countdown bezel comes in handy all the time.

Thanks, Dsloan! The 103 is awesome! Yes, I've owned my 104 since this morning and have already timed two different things with the rotating bezel. It's one of the reasons I chose this watch. I was also thinking about a Grand Seiko SBGN003, with a fixed 24-hour bezel and GMT hand--that is a very cool watch, but I don't need a GMT complication, and I would always want to turn that darn bezel! 😀

Looks great on you. I tried one of these on just yesterday when I was getting another watch sized, and I have a 7-inch wrist too. I like it so much that it will probably be my next watch (but in a few months, at least!).

You gotta get that bad boy! The white dial is very appealing!

Thanks for your congratulations. I've been enjoying my first day with the Sinn so much!

Hi all! At 42mm, is it too big for my 7-inch wrist? (Wrist-shot attached.)
I'm used to smaller watches. Should I consider a 39.5 Planet Ocean instead? I do like the price point and the technical aspects of the 300. Please let me know what you think!

i think it looks great on your wrist.

My new Seamaster arrived today and I think it wears smaller than the 42mm it is. I think its a perfect size and looks amazing

Congrats on reaching a satisfactory conclusion. I have the 39.5 Planet Ocean. That's my biggest watch and it's as big as I would go. So I understand your concern. That said both watches looked good on you based on the photo. But there's more too it -- are you tall, are your arms long, are your hands big? All of it adds up to the sense of proportion imho. And then, how do YOU think it looks?

Thanks, Maine! That mid-size Planet Ocean is just an unbeatable watch--I'm jealous!
The Sinn 104 fits me like a charm. It's 41mm and only 47mm lug to lug. Even though I'm used to smaller watches, I really like the fit of the Sinn. Someday, post-COVID, I will go to an AD and try on the SMP 300m and consider it carefully. Who knows, by then there might even be a midsize 300m! I love all the tech that Omega packs into its watches at reasonable price-points: the master-chronometer co-axial, a-magnetic movement and so on.

Here’s my PO 39.5mm on my 6.25 in wrist, looks more classy and closer to the original SM300, but the 300M is also beautiful and I think more sporty

Looks good to my eye, even though it’s a relative close up pic that normally makes the watch look even bigger. There’s no lug overhang and the bracelet curves round versus goes straight down.

All very personal though so make sure you’re happy with it, and not just randomers on the internet. For ref here’s mine on a slightly smaller wrist:
Looks too big for you?
