Integrated bracelet on small wrists
I have small 15cm wrists (5.9inch). I love the idea of an integrated bracelet watch, but I am always apprehensive of the fit.
What many of the companies do not state is the bracelet adjustable bracelet size e.g. 160-200mm.
This to me makes getting a watch with a bracelet difficult, as I have to contact the manufacturer or dealer for sizing details.
I think that the Ball here is beautiful.
Good diameter 40mm, small (measured) lug to lug 44.5mm. What looks like a great pre-order price, however without knowing the adjustable size of the bracelet it makes it off putting purchasing one.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Is there something I am missing in terms of sizing details?
Is there some form of industry standard adjustable range?
Welcome to my WatchCrunch profile.
Direnzo Modial (40mm with 48 lug to lug) on a ~6.5 inch wrist for reference. I do like a loose fit.
I think you should be able to pull off the Ball (but I hear ya pain 🤝).

Thank you, that is an awesome watch
The 44.5 lug to lug is probably not completely accurate, as the end link in the bracelet is fixed, so effectively extends the lug to lug
What's about the tissot prx 36mm with a 39mm lug to lug. Cheaper as well and popular so shouldn't be difficult to move on. Or get the gold one and keep it for nights out.
Why not try it on? If you are bothered about the fit, go to a dealer and do your due diligence?

Probably a better option for me, but not really as nice as that Ball Roadmaster

Unfortunately this watch is a pre-order at that price. The full price retail is out of my price bracket. 😞
While I cannot appreciate your predicament (18cm wrist so distintly average) thank you for bringing that ball watch to our attention it looks lovely!
Great looking piece. Have you tried contacting them to ask? Seems like a very reasonable question for a significant purchase
I’d go for a 35mm PRX, Maen Manhattan or Nivada Grenchen F77.
Maen Manhattan 37. It will work for you.
If you want something with more than 50m water resistance, check the Citizen Tsuyosa.
Anything 40 or above, regarding integrated bracelet watches like that, stay away!!!!! Unless you want a portable plate. One of my grails is a Ball watch… but with your wrist size…I’d try on others and not get one online.

Thanks for the advice everyone. I will look at smaller watches
