Should I get the Casio Royale (AE1200)? Please read disc
First off I know it's a great watch and everybody constantly gives it praise! However I'm a bit nervous how well it work on my skinny 6 to 6 1/2 inch wrist? Anybody have personal experience with this kind of issue and got the Casio Royale? Is it too big on wrist? Just right or dare I say too small (obviously not) but please comment down below.

Have a look at the A500 as an alternative if it's the world time feature that interests you! It also wouldn't be an issue on a 6-6.5in wrist.
I have a 6 3/4 wrist and i love it. I’m not too sure if this photo helps but i think you might be able to pull off at 6 1/2

The A500 would be awesome! But it's rather hard to find in Canada. However I'm looking at the Royale because its sort of a homage to Seiko worn by Roger Moore in Octopussy. My inner James Bond nerdiness coming through lol.

Ah thank you! The wrist shot helps out quite a bit! Nice look with the leather band? (I think it's leather) do you know if it still would fit the with the metal bracelet that it comes with

No arguments from me there it's definitely a must have for a vintage Bond fan/Casio collector! It's on my 'must own' list as well.

I think it should be as the bracelet itself starts of at 24mm and i cut out a 24mm Leather strap to fit it nicely to the watch case else it is only a 18mm lug width if i remember correctly😅
I have a 6inch wrist and it looks fine. The lag to lag distance is not that big anyway. I do however use an Adapter and have it on either nato or leather strap. I cannot say how it wears with the bracelet..

That's fair thank you for the reply!
Try this video (stay until the end where he is showing the watch on 2 different bracelets):

I recently re-acquired the all black version on the rubber strap. 7in wrist and I feel like I have room to spare

Yep the image helps for a scale of size too!
Lug-to-lug distance on the Royale is about 45 mm. So no problem fitting on a small wrist. I have 6 inch wrist and I love this watch. Think it fits me well...

Thank you that's good to note down and removes the worries of it being too big hahah
It will fit your wrist well
I have a small wrist too, no problem wearing this watch. It's more about the lug to lug distance than the diameter. Go for it, you won't regret it!
