Slender wrist kings

If your a small wrist king like myself dose the size of G Shocks intimate you. If not how do you mod them to conform to your wrist? Or do you not care of the optics of the size.

Awesome watches but its to big for me and would get little to no wrist time. I picked up a Royale (no cheese)

I have a 6.25-6.5" wrist depending on altitude/weather etc. Worn a G Shock and the much bigger Protrek/Suuntos for years. Never noticed an issue.

During colder months I have to flip up my left jacket sleeve one roll, but if I'm wearing a G or ABC I'm not exactly worried about sliding under a tailored, linked up cuff.

Believe it or not, they wear smaller than their size would indicate. My 44.4mm CasiOak fits my ~6.5” wrist well and wears great.

Square G Shock wears great on a 6.25-6.5” wrist!

I think they are clunky on everyone outside of giantism sufferers. They are just even worse for those on the low side of the curve. Supposedly most of the bulk is redundant bumpering that can just be removed? I'd do that.

I'm generally concerned about size (my wrist is on the smaller side at 6.25"), but I can wear regular square Gs and CasiOaks without a care. They come across smaller than they look on paper, for starters, but they're also supposed to be kind of chunky anyway. It just doesn't bug me the way a more typical 42+mm/long-lugged watch would.

I'm 6.25, and this is why I went with cocainoak, also that I wanted an all white watch.

I have a small(6.5 in) wrist and I hear your gripes about wearing G-Shock watches. For me, I felt the GW-M5610 is ideal for us small-wristed individuals. I also recommend getting a strap adapter from Jay and Kay watch accessories (see link)to let you swap the bulky resin strap for a fitted nato. Do it, you won't regret it.

The lug to lug width use to be short, so there are some that can fit so well...i have a 6,5 inch wrist, and the squared and casioak fits well on me. But into a mudman or frogman series, i look like Ronald Mac Donald

That's a good look.

I voted B. I have a 7-inch wrist but if a watch is interesting and it fits me at all, then anything goes. I have a 42mm Tissot Everytime Large (its actual name) that is all dial and no bezel and really does look a bit like a dinner plate on my arm, but it's such a pretty thing I just don't care.

I also have an Aragon Divemaster 42, also 42mm (Aragon's smallest watch) and thick, but with its bluer-than-blue dial and blacker-than-black bezel, I would put up with anything.

Then I have a Seiko bread-and-butter Chronograph, the SE-SSB089. This is 45mm, but Seiko is the master of making its large watches fit us normal people.

Your post is about G-Shocks. I don't have one, but I do have a cousin. It's the Casio Tough Solar STL-S300H. But I have the reverse Casio problem. This watch is a little tiny thing. But it has an easily readable display. I bought it out of a Walmart clearance case for $10. It's supposed to be a ladies watch. It looks like a miniature G-Shock. Not sure about what size it is, but it's very close to my 36mm Alba field watch. Maybe it "looks" like something a woman or small boy would wear, but it's rugged, has a good display, and does every timekeeping function there is. I really enjoy wearing it.
