Sinn 105 St Sa UTC - Too big for my anemic wrist?
Hello everyone, this will be my first time posting here!
I would love your advice on something that's been on my mind lately. For a while now I've been thinking about getting a Sinn 105 UTC but happen to be really insecure about my anemic wrist size of only 16 cm ( 6.3'' ). I'm a bit afraid that either the lugs or end links would end up hanging off my wrist or the watch would just be too big and look a bit clownish on me.
For the sake of comparison: here's my Seiko Captain Willard which has a lug to lug of 46.6 mm, only half a millimeter smaller than Sinn 105's similar 47.3 mm.
What do you guys think?

My thoughts are: if you like the Willard and its dimensions are similar to the Sinn, the Sinn will likely be fine. Also in my experience, in the real world, nobody is likely to notice lug overhang in any case and neither watch is particularly ostentatious so unlikely to draw attention/comment regardless of size. All depends on what you like in terms of looks and comfort. If you have doubts, there are plenty of bigger and smaller alternative options with similar designs.
The Sinn 105 does wear quite small. Here it is on my 6.75” (17cm) wrist. No problem with lug-to-lug length (the pic makes it look bigger too). It’s hard to say without trying it on.
Tricky as it personal, however I have lusted after several watches and went to see them as they were too valuable to buy blind, when I tried them on I just didn’t feel it. If you have a size that you know works then anything in the ball park is likely to work however if it’s something you’re unsure of try and visit a dealer to try it on.
Try it on, if you like it wear. Who gives a wet fart if "experts" say you have too much lug overhang. Rock it cuz you like it and Sinn is awesome. Here's a Holton Pro, with I think a 52mm l2l? (Don't remember, don't care)
I like it. Has good shock resistance, scratch coating, unique design collaboration and literally tanked 500 grams of UNK plastic explosive.

Here's a lunar pilot and the rather large Protrek, wear what you like in good health! 😎
I had a 104, I believe it’s the same case. It worked on my 6” wrist.
I agree with the masses…ignore the “experts”, wear what you like. At least I know @UnholiestJedi would agree, what with his 50+ mm monstrosity of a watch with a temperature gauge tacked on to it!
Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, will ever notice what watch you are wearing. Therefore if you like the 105 and can afford it then you should not have any problems wearing it.
This is me wearing my old ProTrek PRG-510GB on my 16.5cm wrist. Do you know how many time I got a remark about it's color. shape, or size? The answer is never and in the unlikely event that anyone will make a remark, well, I do have a very nice kite at home that I'm willing to loan to those who have nothing else better to do. That should ease the job of going out and flying a kite for all I care.
Excellent Sinn choice!! I’d be more conflicted deciding between the polar or the black dial! 🤔

You forgot about the humidity gauge.
Yes, @MKUltra, I am an advocate for a person wearing what they like, convention be damned.
It must be noted that I was gifted the watch with a 56mm case and was not prepared for the experience. The watch needs a new crown as I broke it off the stem.
The Sinn should be fine

I knew there was another gauge but I couldn't remember what it was! 😉
I'd be worried a Turtle would look too big on my 6 inch wrist. I have a Sinn 104 and it fits just fine. So definitely go for it.
