Looks good.

Rolex Essex · 10 July 2016, 10:31 AM

It looks great on you. Definitely not too big.

bluebeamer · 11 July 2016, 11:30 AM

its fits well! my wrist is smaller than yours, but i just had to have one.

GB-man · 11 July 2016, 12:07 PM

Looks great! Hard to believe your wrist is only 6.3! Buy buy buy

Call_me_Tom · 11 July 2016, 12:53 PM

That looks fine to me. Although I wear a DSSD on 6.5" wrist...my wrists are flat though.

Yes I think having flat wrists makes a lot of difference, I think mine are quite flat too, adds like half an inch to use the parlance of our social networking times.

Handsome watch.

jrs146 · 12 July 2016, 12:51 AM

Looks great! A casual sporty watch can be slightly bigger on the wrist in my opinion. If you were planning on trying to use it in a more formal attire, I'd say yes it's too big. BUT, it's a ROO, one of the best sporty casual watches out there!

Dr.Brian · 12 July 2016, 01:30 AM

It's close, but I think you're OK, as long as you're OK with the height.

Eacast · 12 July 2016, 11:45 AM

Looks great, fits well.

77T · 12 July 2016, 11:56 AM

Here's a rule of thumb for me. If the first links of the bracelet on either side of the case are beyond a 45° angle (e.g. 60-90°), then the head is too wide for the part of your wrist where it is placed.

That might mean loosening the bracelet to let it ride a bit lower on the wrist.

My wrist is small like 6 and 1/3 so want to get some honest opinion before i spend too much time researching the line!

Thank you!

If you want to go big, that one works thanks to the lugs. Looks like you have it at snug fit. If it's comfortable and doesn't overlap wrist, you're good, just a matter of how you really feel about the watch.

speedfighter · 13 July 2016, 05:51 AM

Too be honest if you love it then NOTHING is too big as long as you're the one wearing it-all in the eye of the beholder and owner of course. BTW looks great on your wrist:)

Nyquist · 13 July 2016, 08:11 AM

I would have thought it would be too big but it looks good. Go for it!

thanks - yes i tend to wear the watches reasonably tight.
larger pieces seems to wear better on my smaller wrist.

was surprisingly comfy - although not having owned anything this large before, would be nice if i could wear one for a month or so and see how i live with it before i pull the trig!
