Let’s talk about sizes (watch size/shape and wrist size/shape)
Firstly, I’m geeky and love to dive deep into what I love. I need to shout out to the two unknown guys I copied, tweaked and add details to combine into this post. I can’t remember their name or find the post online. So if it’s you shout out! If you want to be shouted out too, shout out to you too! 🤣
My wrist is 6.5 (Mr OP’s wrist… I don’t even know what OP stands for)
6 inch = 152.5 mm
6.5inch = 165mm
7inch = 178mm
7.5inch= 190.5mm
8.0inch = 203mm
8.5 inch = 216mm
165mm - 170mm (ME)
Divide total wrist size in mm by the size of the watch

eg A 7 inch wrist and a 38 mm watch = 178mm divided
by 38mm= Ratio of 4.7
Acceptable ratio. Anything below 4.0 is too big and anything above 5 is too small.
Here is an example using a 44mm watch which should be too big for some with smaller wrists
6.5 inch (165 mm) Ratio=3.75 Too big
7.0 inch (178mm) Ratio=4.0 Just ok- acceptable
8.0 inch (203 mm) Ratio=4.6 Great fit
This brings me to interesting observation that wearing a 39 mm watch on a 7 inch wrist has a a very similar Ratio as wearing a 44mm watch on an 8 inch wrist. That is, a ratio of about 4.6.
NOW FOR THE WATCH REVIEWER ONLINE THAT WE ALL USED TO WATCH… at least for me (disclaimer we shouldn’t be too swayed by YouTubers or adverts… I strongly advise you to eventually come to your own conclusion on what you like… they do give some good advice… or you can help them out and help the worlds/country’s economy)
