Side-by-side comparison of specifications and features
Compare visual case presence and physical footprint on one shared wrist. Measure your top-down wrist width for a stronger result; lug-to-lug is used when the catalog has it.
Medium (6.7″)
Estimated top width: 56.7 mm
Preliminary range: 54.7–61.8 mm.
Watch A
Visual presence
ModerateCase covers 68% of your modeled wrist width.

Watch B

Physical footprint

Proportional guide only: visual presence and physical footprint do not predict comfort. Weight, thickness, caseback shape, rigid lugs, strap stiffness, wrist-bone prominence, wearing tension, bezel design, and case curvature change how a watch actually wears.

Sinn 556 — it is 45.5mm lug-to-lug versus 47.6mm, and lug-to-lug is what decides whether a watch overhangs a smaller wrist.
Sinn EZM 3 — it is rated 500m versus 200m. Both are in the same broad bracket, so treat this as a tiebreaker rather than a deciding factor.
Sinn 556 is the value pick at roughly $750 less. Pay more only if a specific difference above matters to you — otherwise the cheaper one is the smarter buy. Confirm live listings, since marketplace pricing moves.
