Guys,
I have owned this watch for two years and it is just not comfortable to wear. I am on the second hole on the rubber strap which would indicate it is big on me. Before I sell it and move on to something else does anyone have any suggestions like a smaller strap etc?
Thank you,

Yes I think that would be wise, also many here suggest using one strap from each for the best fit.

what do you mean one from each for the best fit?

One from the regular strap and one from the small strap. You can mix and match to find the best fit, basically don't give up that beauty without a fight.

+1. That's exactly how I got the right fit for my RG44, ie mixing 2 straps.

But to be perfectly honest, comfort isn't a strong suit of this watch in my books due to the weight which is why I mostly only wear it during weekends. But the right fit goes a long way to minimize the problem.

I swapped the non buckle side with a short strap and kept the standard for the buckle. Fits great!

That's exactly what I did as well. All XS works fine for me also.

Had a feeling XS would help--enjoy

If it's not to much trouble can anyone share a photo of the how the xs strap looks on the bottom/buckle? I am on the last hole of my 44 ceramic and the 2nd to last wears much like a bracelet. Almost about to move my 44 for something more comfortable.

It's a great watch and mine fits perfect. Change to smaller sized strap like the guys above mention. Not taking into account the Shumi, this is by far their nicest reference!

This is my XS Grand Prix strap
