45mm - too big for my wrist?

[ustmisha]

Hi guys! I am looking at the Titanium PO 45mm, but won't it be big for my 6.5" (15.5 cm) wrist? Maybe on rubber? My wrist is about 5.5 cm wide. Thanks!

It does wear very light.. Here is it on my 8.2 inch wrist

Thanks! BTW Looks nice! I know it's light, the size bothers me more, won't it be large or too thick?

Actually I just got my wife to try it on, she has 6.75 inch wrist and it looked.. like she could (just) about get away with it

I have a 42mm CrPO too it sits just as high, you might be better considering the noob 42mm liquid metal as it's thinner

So it looks OK? I will try to find some 45mm that I could try on. Thanks for help!

I have a 16cm wrist and the same watch. Its fine on my wrist. In fact its my favourite. I also have 42 mm version and prefer the look of the 45.5

But its 300$ for only Asian ETA.

True but sometime Asian ETA is better than Swiss because you get a new movement. Swiss ETA can be old and piece together from leftovers. Check out my LMPO QC pics in the Omega section. Good looking timepiece.

I use to own a 45mm CrPO and couldn't get pass the fading bezel and see thru caseback even though it was a Swiss ETA it's a huge tell.

I wouldn't worry too much...we're talking a few mm here. Wear it well.

Measured my wrist and its exactly 16cm

 

So here is my 40mm PO

 

And here is my 45.5 PO

 

And a comparison of the 2

6.5" wrist here - tried on the 45mm at an AD recently, it wore way too big, looked like a platter on my wrist, I think the design makes it look bigger on the wrist than it really is.

My 44m Pams wear better.

I think it comes down to personal preference. I have a 6.5" wrist and my 45mm Ti PO on rubber looks great to me. I like watches with a large face generally but what made me go with the 45 is that I wanted a rubber strap, for a sportier and more casual look. With a t-shirt or casual jacket I prefer a bigger/chunkier watch. I also have quite large hands so that may be a factor in balancing it out a bit. For smart wear, it doesn't fit too well under my shirt cuffs, even under French cuffs. I'm a collar size 15 so I guess there would be more space in larger sizes. If I was buying one with the metal bracelet, which for me gives a dressier/smarter look, I would definitely go for the 42 for a 6.5" wrist.

I guess it is a matter of task I think a 45 on a small wrist just looks overbearing.  At about 8.5 in /250 mm I rarely go over 45 if at all.

[indywatchguy]

I also think overall body size makes a huge difference. I have a small wrist but I'm not a small guy. A 48mm Breitling Super Avenger wears well on me barely 7 inch wrist.

Dont worry!

[Pontiaddict]

I have a simple rule, if the lugs extend beyond your wrist (looking straight down) the watch is too big. If the size/fit is close and you prefer the watch then a rubber or leather band will look better than looking at the edge of a metal link.

JMHO FWIW.
