Guess my wrist size

Hey everyone, I am curious to see what everyone on the forum thinks my wrist size is and how the 41mm submariner wears on my wrist. What do you all think?

16 cm, and size is fine esp. since you have the good sense to take photos from a distance

Slight insecurity if I’m honest. Most everyone was pretty close. My wrists are 6.56-6.625. I love the watch, but the size is definitely on the upper end of my range. Love the color, love the glide lock, and the look of the newer bezel

You must’ve used calipers

Looks good

Looks absolutely fine, enjoy in good health. Do not forget, it is not just the size, but also the shape of the wrist (round, flat, etc).

I’d guess 6.75 and it’s passable but I wouldn’t go any larger and I’d consider the sub your big watch in a collection.

Shape of wrist is as important as wrist size. The watch looks fine to me with your wrist shape.

Ideal is 2/3 of the wrist lug to lug.
It’s too big for your wrist which is 6.75 I guess.

But it’s acceptably too big as they refuse to make a 39. About the same as me and I’ve accepted it’s a little more than I’d want, but there isn’t a choice (don’t want an older one).

Your wrist is slightly bigger than mine, as I'm just under 6.5in. I wear 34mm to 42mm just fine.

Lug to lug is the most important measurement to me. 48mm L to L is my absolute max.

There is no objective science to wrist size versus case size since individual wrists having the same circumference can be shaped differently. Only two things matter: is it comfortable and do you like it. You say you like it and you reference the Glidelock which is related to comfort. You say the watch is at the outside of your range; my wrist is 6.75” and my range is 36-44mm and all of my watches fit well and are comfortable. Proper fit has nothing to do with what others define and everything to do with what the watch feels like to you.
