Is (200c) 49mm Lug to Lug suitable XS wrist?

Mido Ocean Star 200c is pretty (except the day date)

I have an extra small wrist size. Almost like a skinny woman's wrist. I like your expert opinion if I should get it despite less than ideal lug to lug size for me. 46-47mm lug to lug is the sweetspot, otherwise it is like a plate (inverted) covering the length of my wrist.

I sort of have this man's wrist size. See 3/4 of his videos where there's wrist shots

I think 49 mm lug-to-lug is probably too big. Maybe something like the new 38mm Seiko 5kx divers would work?

How big is ur wrist? My 5.5 inch wrist can accomodate between 36-38mm watch.

Maybe like yours. I don't have a measuring tape with me to measure as I just came to US for studies 😅

I think this is 38mm but not sure what's its lug to lug

I’d say 42mm watches are too big for you. I have a 6.5 inch wrist and I like 38-40mm.

Maybe consider these other dive watches

Tudor blackbay 58 in 39mm (this one is more expensive)

Hamilton khaki diver in 40mm

Squale sub 39

This is my 6.5 inch wrist on the same watch (for comparison)

Don’t do it! I also have a fairly small wrist at 6’ and I do happen to have a Tissot that’s 42mm in diameter with 49mm lug to lug that makes it looks much much larger on my wrist than it should.

For someone with a small wrist like mine my personal preference of a watch size is as goes

Case diameter max 42.5mm

Case thickness max 13.6mm

Lug to lug max 47mm

Hey, slender wrist here too with around 6.5/16.5cm. I would say depends on what you like, but for me 45mm is the max l2l I like. Could be 46-47mm at max but not more. I think you have to check the width of the upper part of your wrist too in order to choose wisely.
