Curious as to how the sport models with the rotating bezels (SUB/GMTII/SD) wear on your small wrists?
Do you ever get comments that they are slightly too big?
I am planning a GMT Ceramic.

Wears a little big but also has a better presence.

Any pics with your small wrists on your 40mm sport models?

jjnd08 · 1 March 2015, 03:53 AM

To me, a watch is only too big if it hangs over both ends of your wrist simultaneously. If it does, it's my opinion that you should consider something else.

But it's your wrist, get what makes you happy.

brandrea · 1 March 2015, 03:58 AM

Depends too on the shape of your wrist. A round shape vs flat shape makes watches wear differently.

Poly · 1 March 2015, 04:20 AM

I also have a small wrist, and have never had a problem with my Sub. I always wear my watches slightly loose.
Never even thought about it.

GMTII on my 6.5" wrist....

6.5ish cm wrist

superdog · 1 March 2015, 04:56 AM

It just depends on what you like.

Lately, I've been gravitating towards smaller watches.

If you want the sports line, go 39mm exp. IMHO, best watch out there for the buck. And it can go anywhere and do anything. It's awesome.

overthehill · 1 March 2015, 04:59 AM

I have a 6" wrist.

landroverking · 1 March 2015, 05:04 AM

IMO they look out of place.

Matt748 · 1 March 2015, 05:14 AM

Look good to me.

Exp1 and Daytona are good choices for sub 6.5 inches.

Wesley Crusher · 1 March 2015, 05:36 AM

You may want to consider an older, non-ceramic model. With the thinner lugs, they wear a bit smaller.

My blue ym on my 6" wrist

The Sub-lime One · 1 March 2015, 07:06 AM

You'll be fine.

It's all about the bracelet adjustment. Have it done properly and it won't be an issue.

Agree, properly adjusted will look great

IMHO I don't think it'd work... Tried it on and it was too big for me. That 2mm more than the Sub C's 40mm really does show.

Agree.
I tried the exp2 on my 6.25 wrist and it was too big. Love the watch tho.

My former 216570 on my 6.5" wrist.......loved the watch but at 42mm decided it was too big so I flipped it for a GMTII.

I find the 40mm sports models all look fine on my 6.4" inch wrist but I've heard the SD4000 is magic on smaller wrists so have been looking to try on of those on.

watchwatcher · 1 March 2015, 09:04 AM

Get the GMT...or anything else you like...you'll be fine. I have small wrists too and wear anything up to the YMII. Here's a pic of me and my GMT.

It's all subjective, however, so if you don't feel comfortable with the GMT, agree with the Daytona/EXP suggestions.

tomcorkery · 1 March 2015, 09:12 AM

I have a 6.3 in wrist. Exp 2 looked fine on me. Just could not resist the hulk. Hulk looks good also.

FTX I · 1 March 2015, 09:50 AM

I'd stay with 40mm.

simongpaez · 1 March 2015, 09:53 AM

6.5 here

locutus49 · 1 March 2015, 09:54 AM

I have tiny wrists.

CabbageHead · 1 March 2015, 12:19 PM

I love my SeaDweller on my 6.25in wrist. It has been super comfortable since the day I strapped it on. Although thicker, I prefer it to the SubC. Just feels/looks better on my wrist.

nintendo · 1 March 2015, 01:34 PM

I have a 6" wrist but flat profile. the subc and the blnr looks fine on my wrist. It depends on your wrist profile i guess. However I tried on a 16600 seadweller, the bracelet cannot be adjusted to my wrist (min 5 links on the 6 oclock end), have not tried 16610 sub yet, so unable to comment on the bracelet.

Hope it helps!
