Forum Wrist Sizes

I'm curious as to what the most common wrist sizes are on this forum.

I'm at 7.4", so I feel fortunate that most watch sizes fit me adequately.

I tend to prefer 38mm to 42mm watches, but I have some that fall outside those sizes that I enjoy.

I like my big wrist. I love divers. 

Cheers!

What size is your wrist?  

I find that the larger the wrist, the greater the options.

I have an 8 inch wrist. Yes there are more options but... there are some watches I like that are 38mm or smaller and they get lost on my wrist. There is a sweet spot for wrist sizes. Mine starts at 40mm and max is 47mm. 

Darn it!

Cheers!

Almost nine inch here 22.5cm in modern stuff.

I don't like big watches I'm quite happy with ones around 37mm.

My biggest problem is getting straps that fit

Some not all happily the Japanese companies seem to be better at this 

Casio in particular are one of the few where I'm not on the last hole

7.5 wrist. I prefer 40mm-42mm as my watch preference 

·

6,75 with a lug-to-lug max of 50mm.

Representing the Itty Bitty Wrist Committee with my 15.5cm/6.1 inch wrist. Most modern watches look too big on me. I've found this list of YouTubers' wrist sizes really helpful to get a sense for how different watches would look on my wrist.

Exactly 7" here. Is that B or C? 

·

Not gonna lie, it astonishes me people measure xD

I just flop the links and remove after counting. Though I notice I need the longer NATO to tuck decently. Then sometimes I am on the last hole of a traditional strap, towards the watch… there’s just no consistency.

Just under 6.5’ and hence a big fan of smaller watches. I tell you what is perfect - 37mm - just slightly bolder than 36mm but not so big it gets lost.

·

I seem to be in a minority as someone with a small wrist who likes a watch to almost fully span it. Mine are 16cm but I enjoy watches from 38-42mm.

This poll doesn't work because most of us guys will lie about wrist size.

Size doesn't matter.

I wrote the poll options several times to try and find the best balance.  I had originally written it out as 6.5-6.9, but it got messed up in one of the edits.

Oh well.  Just choose the one that includes wrist swell when you consume salty foods!

7 inch left wrist, 7 with a little extra on my right wrist.

6.0 - I‘m a runner / cyclist/ swimmer.

Seiko bands need about 4 inches chopped off 🤬
