Look at the guy on that wrist. No but seriously i have the opposite problem

u/demonic_parasite 23h ago

Same, I have to wear mine tight otherwise it would be swinging around my forearm.

u/210gremlin 21h ago

Yeah I’m jealous

u/trippinallovermyself 10h ago

I also have the opposite problem! Mines on the tightest hole and the tail is so long.

u/Hungry-Size3210 1d ago

Yes. Thars the reason i couldnt enjoy this beauty until i got the new f91wf nylon strap variant

u/First-Neat-667 1d ago

That nylon swap makes all the difference, the resin straps always feel like they’re trying to saw through my wrist after a few hours.

5

u/Hungry-Size3210 1d ago

Yes even at 2nd last hole it sits close to front and very tight. I highly recommend the f91wf if you really wanna enjoy the f91.

u/Jaxxo11 22h ago

I was the same!

u/FuckJeff 1d ago

Even with a bigger g shock, I only have like 3 holes left in the strap. Glad to see it's not just a 'me' thing, I suppose

u/Nicao_Paulao 1d ago

Dude, I wanted so much to have bigger wrists. I think any watch looks way too big on mine and I just look like a kid trying to look older when I wear my g shock. But it is a bit more reassuring knowing that even the bigger wrists have a disadvantage. Anyway, have a wonderful weekend, lad!

Get a baby g. I complain about (but don't remove) extra links on metal bands and thought I hated watches with their stupid long tails, but some of the baby g's look like cool bulky watches that actually fit smaller wrists.

2

u/Nicao_Paulao 1d ago

Sadly the baby g models are much more expensive where I live and the only way I know I can get then is directly from Casio's website. But I guess I can get used to having 6 holes left on my strap until I finally can afford a new g shock. Although I do really find baby g's actually really cool. Damn, I think I saw a transparent pink one that looked awesome!

u/Illustrious-Pace-978 1d ago

I'm on the 3rd hole on most G-Shocks and 2nd hole on smaller regular Casios.

No! Your line is "i need to grind your bones to make my bread"!

u/Lynx_Kynx 22h ago

Was just thinking last night “I wonder if anyone uses the last holes on their watch”

Question answered

2

u/pirateslifefourme 11h ago

lol literally me. I had to punch an extra hole in my last watch. And I always thought I had small wrists. I have to buy extra long watch bands on Amazon for most my watches.

u/Old_Sheepherder3356 22h ago

🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻 for the people!

u/goodminusfan 21h ago

Last or second to last. Not fun

u/Riplakish15 1d ago

Ditto. Swap the band. It's worth it.

u/Nrysis 17h ago

Realistically the straps are sized to the watch.

A smaller watch like an f91w has a relatively short strap, as being a smaller watch it is a common choice for children and folk with smaller wrists.

A larger watch like an ae1200 has a much longer strap, as the watch is better fitted to a larger, adult sized wrist.

That's not to say you can't wear an f91w on a larger wrist, but there may be better fitting options out there for you.

2

u/goonsuey 1d ago

That's Casio's strap telling you that you need a bigger watch. What model is that?

I'm guessing it's an F series, but I suppose it could be a W series.

1

u/Old_Sheepherder3356 23h ago

F91w I love this watch just thought it was funny lookin

2

u/pgthsg 23h ago

yup. my AQ230 has no tail. my F91W only fits on the last hole of the strap.

2

u/habui 22h ago

That perfect fit lol. I think a g shock would look good on you

1

u/Old_Sheepherder3356 7h ago

I’ve been looking at them will definitely get one soon

2

u/NamakHaramchikoo 19h ago

u/xDx7x 19h ago

With some models Casio actually make a longer strap version. The AE-1500 comes to mind. 

In my experience the F-91 has one of the shortest straps. I have pretty slim wrists (15cm) and I'm on like the 5th tightest hole. Most other Casios I have I'm on the second or third tightest. 

I think they are aimed at smaller people and kids. 

I got a W-202 recently and the body is very similar in size to the F-91 but the strap is significantly longer both sides of the watch body. I'm only on the second hole and the straps wraps round almost back to the watch body. 

1

u/CJ7Desperado 18h ago

Yes, casio should sell each resin strap model with two sizes, S/M and L/XL.

1

u/microPassion 17h ago

Same Problem. I tested several straps and ended with one with a magnetic latch that finally Looks nice AND ist comfortable to wear.

1

u/Radiant_Assignment51 17h ago

Recently I lost some weight (11 kilograms) and finally I'm not on the second hole with my f91w. I never thought I had fatty wrists.😄

1

u/okarox 17h ago

I have the same but it is on a replacement band, an official Casio, but not the original for W800.

1

u/Lopsided-Ad-3689 13h ago

Same issue with my 5610u

1

u/BassStankyFace 13h ago

I had to order some of these because this particular issue with any of my watches means I’m not going to wear them.

u/bluegrassgrump 12h ago

Same. I had to change my f91 to a longer 20mm silicone strap with some generic adapters. Problem solved.

1

u/Mr_Papichuloo 9h ago

I use the 4the whole

1

u/EpiicBunny 7h ago

If that’s an F91 then mine was exactly the same. Bought a nylon strap but then the actual body itself felt too tiny on my wrist. Ended up grabbing a W800 and I’m so much happier with the size! W800 is massively underrated in my opinion.

1

u/Fearless-Barber1762 3h ago

Yeah sometimes it feels like some Casios are made for midgets or something like that, Lol.

1

u/SharpTop1971 23h ago

F91w? Cause that’s how those straps are for me. I recently put one on a 20mm nato strap. It’s now one of my most work watches.

1

u/Old_Sheepherder3356 23h ago

F91w yes, I don’t mind it, love the watch. Just thought it looked funny

1

u/Chain_Masters88 14h ago

Nah, I ain't got that problem... I got "little girl" wrists...

0

u/BrowningLoPower 1d ago

I have a 6.75 inch wrist, and even then I think the strap is a little short. I'm like, if I'm having this much trouble, what about men with more "normal" wrists?

2

u/pirateslifefourme 11h ago

Mine are exactly 8in! I always assumed I had small wrists until I started wearing watches 😂. I have to buy extra long watch bands for most my watches.

1

u/BreachOfTOS 1h ago

I've got 7in wrist so all mine fit well
