Is this too big for me?

Advice pls!

Does the ROO look too big for me?

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!

I think it looks good. Nice wrist presence! Is that 42 or 44?

My wrist is around the same size. Im looking into the AP ROO line right now. Never put one on. I guess i should try one on before i pull the trigger. As i get older i prefer my watches smaller looking on my wrist.

Like it.

I'd say no more than 42.

Have you tried a 15300 at 39mm or a 15400 at 41? Different thing of course, but they would both work for you.

Looks fine lugs fall within your wrist edges, plus AP ROOs should wear big, no shrinking violet watch.

Thanks for the positive feedback and suggestions.

I'm a happy owner of a 15400 but also wanted something a bit sportier like the ROO where I don't have to worry about the bracelet as much but always felt it was going to be one step too big.

VC overseas was another candidate I tried last week which I also like which defo wears smaller. But I think I'd prefer ROO if I can pull it off.

I do know what u mean. Safer choices for my wrist might be vc overseas or an aquanaut but the ROO is defo in the mix! Thanks.

Surprisingly, the fit looks good for what would be considered a smaller wrist. I have a 6 1/4 inch wrist and it looked ridiculously big on me when I tried on a ROO. Just depends on the shape of your wrist.

Looks good. VC is a totally different look as is the aquanaut. What are you going for?
