Pictures do nothing for this watch, in person it has so much wrist presence. I was on the fence between this and a black CSO, because I have fairly small wrists (6 3/4") and i also have skinny forearms. The Skyland just spoke to me more but Im so glad I chose it over the CSO. I was afraid it would be enormous, but to be honest Its not that overwhelming, and its as comfortable as a watch of this weight and size can be thanks to the curved lugs and the Pro II. I figured id just put up a few wrist shots since I know I had a hard time finding pictures of the Skyland on small wrists. Now I just have to get used to the weight difference coming from my older 40mm/9mm Aerospace :lol:

Nice watch. I tried one on today at an AD. I like how it changes colors in the light.

The combination of black face and polished steel really makes a statement and grabs the eye, for sure. Well done. Good sharp images too.
Wear it in health my friend. :bow:

One of the "sexiest" mens watches ever made! Once you wear it for awhile, you won't even notice the size. My Seawolf seemed large at first, now it just seems quite normal. Of course, it doesn't have the subdials and push crowns, those make the watch seem bigger also.
Looks like it fits your wrist just fine.
Remember...the smaller the wrist, the greater the watch presence! :)
Cheers,
Carl
